The last thread was already at two pages so I started a new one!

Judy glad to see you back! Hope you are feeling better soon...and Tara...glad to see you back too!! Now...where is Brenda and Setina....I know they are out there somewhere!!

Not much happening here...I didn't get to weigh in last sunday because last thursday I was leaving work and taking a left turn out of the parking lot and this girl was travelling in the opposite lane trying to get down to the left turn lane to beat the light and she wacked me good! My car has $4000 worth of damage....I was alittle sore for a couple of days but I am fine now.

Well I gotta get to work...I'll talk at ya all later!!

Michelle K

Hi Michelle,

I am still around. Just been busy. The nest has not had much activity since sept 11th. I think everyone is still trying to recover from it and also still dealing with what is still going on now. It is sooooooooo depressing.

I have been totally off program for a couple weeks now, just fell off hard and can't get back on. Gonna try though, doing some planning tonight and start taking my lunches to work again, just gotta do it.

Brenda

Brenda - I have been meaning to post this. A co-worker of mine had that surgery about a month ago and she said it wasn't that bad. She bounced right back (no pun intended!!) and looks great! (she was super skinny with big boobs - so she had back aches etc.). GOOD LUCK!!

And I know what you mean about being "off" since the September 11th tragedy. I was "off" for about 5 weeks - didn't really gain much - but wasn't losing either. And 2 weeks ago I got serious again - I just stopped worrying about it - planned alittle more and have lost 5lbs! I am excited :) Its hard though. I did hear on the radio that 90% of people are overeating since the tragedy. 90%! Scary!

I am off to bed - have a good nite ladies!

Tara :)

P.S. Hi Michelle - glad to hear you are ok from your little accident - how scary! {{{HUG}}}

~Hi there Girls~
 

Goooooooood Morning Brenda and Tara - This is your personal "kick your butt service" checking in to move your butts in the right direction on this fine Friday morning! My name is Sgt. Pamela Jo and I am here to make sure you:
1. - DRINK YOUR WATER EVERY DAY.
2. - TRACK EVERY SINGLE MORSAL THAT GOES INTO THOSE PRETTY LITTLE MOUTHS OF YOURS.
3. - COME TO THIS FORUM AND EXPRESS YOUR WEAKNESSES OR GUILT BEFORE IT GETS OUT OF CONTROL SO THE ENTIRE PLATOON OF NIGHT OWLS CAN KICK YOU BUTTS INTO FIRST GEAR AGAIN. NOT SECOND GEAR, OR THIRD.....NOT FOURTH GEAR OR FIRTH....BUT FIRST GEAR......
4. - DO SOME TYPE OF DAILY EXERCISE FOR A MEASLY 20 MINUTES PER DAY. WETHER IT BE PARKING YOUR CAR IN THE VERY LAST PARKING SPOT AT K-MART THAT IS ONE MILE AWAY OR TAKING A LEISURELY WALK IN THE PARK. I DON'T CARE WHICH YOU DO....JUST DO IT.....my apologies to Nike for stealing their motto on that one. :^:
NOW - I......Sgt. Pamela Jo will be checking in at 1800 hours this evening to see if the two of you are in first gear and if you are not.....there will be royal **** to pay.......DO I MAKE MYSELF CLEAR??????? Good.

*this has been a public announcement from your local night owls chapter. Mrs. Pember is temporarily unavailable as she is in the process of kicking her own butt for not staying on program yesterday. Hopefully, she will return this evening with a better report. Thank you and have a good day.*

~Good Morning~
 

Well, it's Friday and my son has been home all week with whatever "it" is. Today....we go BACK to the doctor because although he isn't "urping" anymore....he still has alot of boogies and congestion along with a low grade fever. Ok, ok...yes! Now I'm worried.

On another note. I haven't been doing well OP this week. I've been waking up in the middle of the night and a couple of cookies or whatever but I stopped doing that a long time ago and am up to it again. Well, hopefully today is when it stops. I've got some nice juicy apples in the fridge and some bananas too.....I'll make a large note and put it on the counter before I go to bed tonight so I see it and hopefully make the right choice at 2am. I've been getting my exercise in at the barn. By the way, I'm NOT getting "Ah Yes"......I decided on "Lars" who needs a home much more than "Ah Yes". He's also a 7 yr. old Standardbred but his owners bought him back from the person they sold him to and just want him to have a good stable (no pun intended....heh-heh) home where he can be happy and mend. His owners had TOLD them to let him rest for a while since his right hind leg had a slightly pulled muscle and it just needed a few weeks of R and R. Well, of course they didn't listen and he is now lame. I spoke to his vet and he reiterated what his owners told me....a few weeks of R and R and alot of TLC and the proper food so he can gain back some of the weight he's lost and he'll be a great horse. He's got alot of personality and I'm going today to check him out. Wish me luck.

HEY YOU MISSING OWLS OUT THERE - Get your hynees (sp?) BACK IN HERE. WE MISS AND NEED YOU!!!!!!!

Have a great day everyone. Remember, IT'S FRIDAY! By the way, I'm back to using the MasterCook book and I can't understand why I stopped using it in the first place. I've been making such boring dinners lately. I'll let you all know what I decide to do for tonight and if it's a really good one...I'll post it for you all.
Hugs,

AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH, I'M SORRY MICHELE - I meant to say something in my last post. I'm very glad that you're ok. It sounds like it could have been alot worse. Even though you're feeling ok...try and be aware of anything that doesn't feel right.....most serious injuries take their time showing up. DON'T talk to her lawyers if they call you. "I know from where I speak". Speak ONLY to your insurance company. Don't settle for anything except getting your car fixed right now and leave it at that for the time being. I kept waiting and waiting for the insurance company of the man who hit me back in '99 to call and when they didn't.....I got myself a lawyer and the rest is history. We ARE going to trial and have our mediation in Dec. or early Jan. Take my advice and DON'T TALK TO THEIR LAWYERS OR INSURANCE COMPANY......tell them to call YOUR insurance company...that's their job and what you pay them for. Ok?
Again, I'm glad you feel ok and have a great Friday! :D

Where issss everyonnnne!!!????
 

Thanks Tara and PJ....the accident was clearly this woman's fault. She was driving on the left hand side of the double yellow line trying to get down to the left turn lane to beat the light. She said she was in a hurry to get her daughter at school. I just want my car back fixed and not have to pay anything...

Brenda....you can get back on track...turn that butt this way and I will KICK it for ya!! I have been doing alot of butt kicking lately!!! Sometimes when we get so close to goal we and start looking and feeling good we get a little cocky and start back sliding...don't ruin all that hard work! Write down, drink that water and get that butt in gear and move it!! Exercise (ugh!) Nasty word but it sure helps the weight slide off much quicker!

Tara you are on a losing streak right now...keep it up!!

I gotta run...hopefully my computer will be up and running this weekend at home! Have a great day! Michelle

Hello everyone!

I thought I'd drop by very quickly. We got moved to Illinois late this summer, but I sure haven't gotten quite settled yet. My hubby's job is going great, and I have to admit it is so nice to be closer to family. My family is only 2 hours away, and we are only 10 minutes from my in-laws. I get along with them really well, and they have been a great help. I'm still having some health problems and am looking at a biopsy during November for my liver. Hopefully they will find out what is going on at that time. The doctor has started hinting that I may be a candidate for a liver transplant. That is still a ways away, but sure scares the **ll out of me. Oh well, I'm feeling pretty good, and really trying to take good care of myself. We've also decided to have me not work at all for awhile. I'm just volunteering at my kids schools and am starting to make quilts, afghans, and cross-stitch projects that I either sell or give as gifts. Good projects when it gets to winter time.

I still don't have internet, so I stop here at my in-laws house once or twice a week to check email. I thought I'd give a quick post that I'm still alive, and will hopefully have the internet within the next couple of week.

The bad news is I still haven't sold my house in Michigan, so keeping up with two house payments sure is a pain. We keep hoping and praying something will come through.

The good news I went back to weight watchers a month ago. So far I've lost about 10 pounds. I still have a long way to go, but it feels so good to get to this point at least.

I hope everyone is doing well. I can't wait to get on-line again so I can check in every day. Hope everything is well with you all.

Take care everyone.

The lost owl...Susan

Susan! - Hey Girl!! Nice to see you here again. You know I have missed ya! I hope your Michigan house sells soon! That must be a big old pain. Good job with your 10lbs. Keep up the good work.

Tara :D

Well I spoke too soon for my arm the last 3 days it has been bad and my right one too. I have been trying to behave and not use it too much! I had to cancell two therapy sessons this week cause it was too windy for me to drive with my bad arms and it is a 45 minute drive on the interstate! They even had wind advisorie out! I will go again Monday. They lady who helps me to clean was here Tues. and I may have over did but it didn't seem like it at the time!!!!!!!!!! I am suppose to stay off the puter too!


It is too cold for me..I can't seem to get warm since I have no insulation!!

I am just sticking with my WW program and am determined not to have a break down and eat junk all the time or too much ar once. You just have to learn your limits and watch your portions and sweets....or carbs..just everything in moderation. I need to get back to exercising but PT won't let me do any upper body right now! Just had an english muffin and a hot cup of lemon tea! 2pts!!!!!!!!!!! I try not to eat out much either.( If I am out I like those salad shakes for 2pts at McDonalds)

Hi Bren, PJ, Michelle, tara and Susan:)

Too much typing ..I gotta go!

Here is me and DH..........

Hi There!!
 

Wow, is my rear-end getting sore, it must be all that buttkicking coming my way, LOL!! Thanks everyone, I am still trying to get back on it. It is soooooooooooo hard.

PJ, you drill sargeant you, lol!! You are such a good friend, thanks. You are also one of the busiest women I know, don't know how you do it all.

Candice, I love the picture, you look like a great couple. Hope the arm gets better soon.

Tara, I am so glad your friend did well with the surgery, thanks for sharing it with me. I am glad you are back on program and doing well, keep up the good work.

Michelle, so glad you didn't get hurt. It is so scary when someone gets into an accident. It took me alot of time to get over mine.

susan, sounds like you are doing great with your weight loss, congratulations. Hope you sell your old home soon, it must be stressful for you.

Setina, hope you are doing well.

Later owls
Brenda

If any of you would like, follow the link below to my picturetrail page of my first day meeting my new horse LARS at Pompano Racetrack. I could just die at what I look like. NO makeup and the pants I'm wearing are a size 20 and I had the waist rolled up about 3 times. They are very baggy on the top of the thigh and tight around the ankle. Don't even ask why I wore though because I have no idea. This USED to me my favorite and most comfortable outfit. LOL.......oh well, my BOOTIE looks like a pumpkin!!!!!!! Enjoy.......

http://www.picturetrail.com/pembers

Go to the first album called what else........LARS.
Have a good one.

Yep, here I am again. All by my lonesone. :( ....... noone to talk to....(snif, snif). But that's ok....I'll just surf for a little while and go talk to the stranger in the chat room. Alright...I'm going now.....(snif, snif)......bye.......:( :( see ya......snif, snif.......:(

Hey PJ!

Sorry I didn't have the speakers on (Ethan sleeping on my lap) and didn't realize you tried to IM me until I minimized the window I was reading. Hope to catch ya again sometime!

Hard to type now with one hand, so I'll come back to post later. Gonna go to the barn today too. (did you see the last post I posted?---think it's back on #22)

Ally
Down 66.5 now...gotta update the ol' profile again. :smug:

~Good Morning~
 

Are you ready??????? for Holloween, kids and CANDY????!!!!
Heh-heh:D

I haven't got my candy yet but will today. Li'l Billy is a Vampire and Jackie STILL doesn't know what she wants to be. It's a choice of about a thousand different ideas. One of her friends is an OOPA-LOOMPA from "Willie Wonka and the chocolate factory". Anybody remember THAT one?? LOL....and the other friend is going as HOOTERS girl. Uh-hum. Hey....I'M not her mother. :o

Anyway, I figured that if I didn't have the candy in the house....then I wouldn't be attaching it while noone was around. I've been going MUCH better on my water intake and have NOT been waking up at 2am and eating cookies and milk for two days now. I've been getting my exercise at the stables. Doing MORE work by putting down rubber mats for the washing area and LOTS AND LOTS of sand (using the bobcat...NOT my back) to put into the four remaining stalls we have for the new boarders we're getting before they put down their shavings and to get the ground nice and level. Sand is a great "drain" base for whatever the shavings don't get.
Here's a picture of Lars. Hope you all have a great day.
Hugs,

Gooood Morning!!
 

Where are you all.....PJ is lonely again! PJ thanks for keeping this thread going...even though I don't get to post much from work I still lurk and read!

I got to weigh in on Sunday and lost 4 more pounds. I'm down 25 lbs and 2 sizes since I rejoined WW! Yipeeeee....I can't wait to get back into my size 14 jeans...it won't be long now!!

I didn't get to the gym yesterday...John got home too late so I am going to aim for WEdnesday. I know the weight comes off faster when I exercise! I am motivated and armed with my bottle of water this morning! I just had those chocolate muffins (at 1 1/2 points) each with coffee and non fat creamer! So...I am set for now! I do have a banana incase I get hungry before lunch! WHich is usually a given!

Brenda....its taken me time getting over this accident...it was my first ever! Hopefully I will get my car back on thursday or friday! I am tired of driving the truck...its a 4x4 and shifts like a mac!!

Candice hope you are feeling better soon! We need you here!!

Hi to Ally, Tara, Setina....and everyone else...come out and play today!!

Michelle
PJ nice horse!!

OK you all...

Just a quick note while I'm here at the library.

Just had my weekly weight watchers meeting. I've lost 2.4 lbs this week for a total of 11.2. So far, so good! I haven't even been tempted by the halloween candy that is waiting for all of the kids.

I'm sure hoping the weather is nice tomorrow for all of the trick or treaters. Emily is going as a princess and Darren is a werewolf. I hand out the candy while Wayne takes them out trick or treating. The told me to expect about 250 kids. We'll see what we get tomorrow.

Well, I'm off to check out a few books, but wanted to drop in real quick and see who's been checking in.

Hi to Michelle, PJ, Ally, Tara, Brenda, Candice, and anyone else I may have missed. Hope everyone is doing well and is able to put off the temptations of the candy. Have a good week.

Hi Susan and Michele - Just got back from the Middle School next door. I was passing by and saw an ambulance....then a firetruck pull onto the track field. Since my daughter had just finished her gym class...I freaked and just had to make sure it wasn't her. Thank God, it wasn't but I'm saying prayers for the mother of the boy. He ran into one of those huge cement poles that hold the lights up. Got a concusion and was airlifted by helicopter to Martin Memorial Hospital. Must have been a bit more than a concussion for him to be airlifted. I found out who it was and it's one of my daughters friends. Hope she deals well with it and I hope he turns out ok. Keep your fingers crossed, say a prayer, ligth a candle. Whatever it is that you all do during "times like these"....please do it for this boy and his family. Anyway, I just wanted to stop in and ask you all to do this for this boy. Thanks.
And Congrats on the great loss Susan! Great job!!!!!! :D
Love ya......I'll try to give you a ring tonight after 9????

WAAAAAAAAAAKE UP!!!!!!!!
 

Where is everyone???????????

PJ where are you??????

Tara, Candice, Judy everyone come out of hiding!!!!!!!!

Hi ladies!!

Happy Halloween!!

Any game plans for the halloween candy? I bought stuff I won't be tempted with. I love candy - but if its not chocolate I am not crazed about it!! I have skittles and starburst. No problems here!

PJ - Thanks again for your talk last nite and your emails :)

Michelle - You are doing so well losing - keep up the good work!! Did you get your home PC fixed yet?

I'm about to make a small photo album of Billy's vampire costume. He didn't look like my blonde spikey haired, blue eyed son AT ALL. NOT ONE OF MY NEIGHBORS RECOGNIZED HIM...it was hysterical. I covered his face with black first, then my white powder eye shower with a BLUSH BRUSH...LOL.....and you'll see the rest of the BLACK FACE CREME that was totally washable that I put in his hair after slicking in back with SUPER GEL. Heh-heh. Be back in a few......
Hugs,

Hi ladies!

I had a good nite last nite - NO CANDY FOR ME! I only bought the stuff I didn't care about and brought the leftovers here for the candy "fiends" in my office. I am just not tempted by candy - but chocolate - that is DANGEROUS! I didn't even have a piece yesterday :)

Gotta run work is super busy! Have a good day - its November 1st - the start of the Holiday Season! :eek: Are you all ready?? LOL

Tara :s:

I am ready and roaring to goooo.....
 

Its a new month and I am staying focused! I already started some Christmas shopping and even started wrapping a couple of things!! I want to be prepared this year...since having the baby last year I am so disorganized! I have been searching candy and cookie recipes to make up my baskets and I am ready to start writing out my Christmas cards!! All well and good but by mid-december I probably won't have half done that needs to be!!

I am proud to say I only ate one little bitty box of dots! I think its only 1 point! But I counted it! I just need to get back to the gym. Hopefully John will be home early from work tomorrow and I can go after work!

Well I need to get stuff done today since I will be at a class tomorrow for most of the day...

Have a wonderful OP day!! Michelle

HAPPY NOVEMBER EVERYONE!

Hi!

It's amazing what a coat of paint does to a room!! Hubby and I started painting my kitchen/dining area my favorite YELLOW today and it looks SOOOO good!! I'm so excited! We also have been busy putting up faux wood blinds in our family room and the difference there is amazing too! Certainly brightens up the room not having big ol' curtains hanging there. I just have to choose valances to put on top and it will be extra fabulous. It's definitely true what they say about painting though (we haven't done it in a while) that the most work is the damn preparation. UGH!! Since it's the kitchen, I extra-cleaned the walls in case of grease or food splatters, etc and dusted them. Blech! Then of course the taping off, etc. The EASY part is the painting. :lol: The former owners of our house painted EVERYTHING with a flat paint that is not child/pet/clutz friendly. Yucko! :rolleyes: We've been here for 3 years now and I've always wanted to paint my kitchen and we kept pushing it off for other stuff. Well, we've been off this week, hubby and me, and I've put my foot down and dammit, we've finally done some of things we put off!! Yeah!

I haven't even been out to the barn! Yikes! My butt is gonna go there tomorrow afternoon if we ever finish painting. I was supposed to join a group lesson tonight, perhaps on a different horse other than my ol' buddy Irish, but I was still covered in paint and couldn't go. Phooey! Oh, well, I'm still glad the painting is getting done. Since we have been home from work and have been doing lots of family things, plus trick-or-treat! I've been eating not-so-well. Not horrible (I think?) but not totally OP either. We'll see.....gotta take my lumps and weigh in anyway.....but maybe next week. Hee-hee!

I have to go for now.....there's a couple of boys here who MUST get in the tub now! Talk to ya soon!

Ally,
Happier homeowner

Hi Owls,

Anyone want to re-comitt to ww or whatever program they are following? We haven't had an owl re-comittment for awhile and I think It is time. I know I could sure use it. I am going to start a re-comittment thread as soon as I am done here. Hope others will join me and maybe even some of the lost owls will come out of hiding.

I have been off program ever since I went to disney and have gained about 4#'s, I feel awful and am going to do my best to turn it back around.

Ally, sounds like you are real busy. Yes it is amazing what a new coat of paint can do both for your house and emotional well being. Hope you are enjoying the new look.

Michelle, congratulations on just eating those dots. I have eaten tons of candy since halloween. I think I finally got it out of my system though.

Tara, sounds like you made some good choices with the candy you bought, my problem was with the candy the girls brought home, reeces, snickers, milky ways, you know the good stuff. I definitely overindulged.

Pj, it is so fun when the kids get their costumes and make-up on, what a hoot. I just love it. One of the nicer things about having little ones.

Candice, thanks for sharing that list. It was a real eye opener for me, boy have I eaten some points. Yikes!!

Susan, you are doing soooooooooo good, keep up the good work.

Okay everyone, I am off to re-committ!!

Brenda

I'm down another pound and that would be 4 under goal! :smug:

Glad you gals are gonna re-commit..I feel so much better when I eat well!!!!!!!!!! I did have some candy (2pts) but I keep the snack size in the freezer all the time for a quick treat when I have the points and it does not get eaten if there are no points!

Have you all tried the new Kashi Go Lean Crunch!!! It is wonderful..3pts for a cup but it is well worth it!! Yummmmy!!!!

One more week of therapy and then back to the doc!

Hi Everyone!

Remember me? Sorry I have been AWOL so long. I was just checking in.

Hope everyone that was in an accident is ok and all those sick or with sick loved ones are doing well.

It was nice lurking back and seeing my name a few times. I never foget you guys but just have not been in the mood to post lately.

My workload is better so the stress issue is a lot better. I am trying to find a new combination to help my migraines. I still get them really bad. The last one they gave me another steroid and I think I was allergic to it and I ended up at the hospital the week before last with chest pains but after all the tests the heart seemed to be ok.

I finally had 2 decent days, Saturday and Sunday, but Sunday afternoon me and the hubby decided to go to lunch and someone rear ended us. We were sitting still waiting for someone to turn and this guy hit us going about 40 mph. It bent my bumper up under the truck and pinned my license plate to my spare tire under the truck and demolished the tailgate and bedliner. The impact was so hard that when we "landed" LOL, our seats were in the recline position and my seat is broken as well as my armrest. I was driving and looked up in the mirror right as he was hitting us so I tensed up making things worse. We both have whiplash and back strain so needless to say that has not helped the headaches. We are up close to 3 thousand dollars damage to my truck. Thank goodness he had insurance. He was 19 and terrified. It was his first accident. He asked if I was mad at him and I told him no, as long as he had insurance and that he needed to be more careful in the future. If he had tried to go off the road it would have killed him (ditch or phone pole) so I had rather he hit us and everyone be alive. I even took him to his family's house because his blazer was not driveable. It was one of those big ole blazer's and I think it will have to go to the blazer graveyard after the wreck.
WW is pretty non existent for me know. I gained almost everything back and havent lost even though I rejoined and tried. I know it's all the medications. I have all my meds ready to take the the neurologist this Tuesday and I am going to find out what I was taking back when I was loosing so good. I figure now that I dont have the stress from work, maybe that medication will work for me and I can lose weight again.
I better run, my back is burning right down the middle so I try to walk it out and put some ice on it. I will try to do better at checking in and hope to be back on a regular basis soon. Please feel free to email me anytime
[email protected]

Love to all!

Setina-the long lost owl who needs a bubble, my new nickname is the "crash test dummy" :)

Setina,

Hang in there honey. Once an owl always an owl, as I've been shown over the years. I know where you are at with the meds and weight gain. Remember that your health comes first. My headaches are, thankfully, gone for the time being. I haven't had any in over a month and THAT is a world record. I'm sorry about your accident.

Everyone else.... Bren's thread about a new committment is a wonderful way to start over for me. It also makes me more assured to check in with you gals more, also.

I hope you are all having a great week.

Judy

Thanks Judygal!

I am so happy for you and your headaches! I hope I can say that one day. My mom and grandmother outgrew their migraines but they were a lot older so I am patiently waiting my turn.

I joined the recommitment thread too...great idea.


Where are all you owls? Hope I didn't scare you away....I know, you saw my post and fell off your branches and broke some feathers and cant type right???? :)

Yep Setina thats it...broken feathers!! Mine just healed! LOL So now I can type. I meant to post yesterday but only read and never got back to type! I'm glad you are back! I hope the headaches retreat permanently for you real soon....And I want you to know that you are NOT ALONE with the weight coming back. As you know...I lost 97 lbs then got pregnant and gained back 79 of those pounds. I managed to get 25 lbs off so far....I'm just aiming to get those 79 lbs off and then from that point I will set my goals from that point to get the rest of this weight off. It is much harder this time around. I had the baby Sept. 11, 2000 so its been over a year now and I am just ready to work the program recently. When I was living alone it was much easier to lose the weight...but I did it once and I know I can do it again and when you are ready you will do it again too! I just know that when I exercise it comes off faster...so back to the gym I finally went last night... I'm sorry to hear about your accident...at least no one was hurt bad...I was so freaked out after mine two weeks ago. I have been driving for 23 years and never had been involved in an accident. It was awful...I'm just glad I never saw her coming or I would have tensed up too! I got my car back last friday and the total damage was $5700. Thankfully her insurance paid everything so we didn't have to pay anything.

Judy glad to see you posting too...we need to keep checking in...sometimes when I feel like eating I just come to this site and start rambling...keeps my mind off food! I am on my way over to the recommitment thread....I need to recommit to losing the next 25 lbs....

Brenda....the dots were only the beginning! LOL I had an all day class with my boss on friday and we went to lunch and from that point forward the weekend was a waste! I ate candy and anything else in my sight!! I got it out of my system and monday I started fresh. I have been below points and plan to stay that way. I need to make up for that 1 lb gain! I have goals!!!

I have a Thanksgiving Goal of 5 more lbs
A Christmas Goal of an additional 10 lbs on top of the Thanksgiving 5..
