Bob Greene and the Best Life team would like to highlight an amazing group of members (and friends) who successfully planned a trip last week to Tennessee. Below is a description from one of the members, Cookie, and a few pictures of the friends in their customized Best Life green jackets. Members can read all about their trip as journaled by the members on the
message boards. Congrats ladies!

I'm Cookie from NJ and the 50+BestLifers 1/20/08 thread. We've been hanging out together, motivating each other for over a year now with other newbies stopping in and joining up with us.
About six months ago we all decided that we should make plans for a GTG (Get ToGether) and all meet in person.
One of our gals, Judy from Chicago had been to a resort in Sevierville, TN with family and suggested that we check it out. You can do the same thing if you'd like (www.oakhavenresort.com).
I called the Resort and found out it was all a "do-able" thing, so we made reservations for lodging for April 30th to May 3rd. We've been doing a count down since about 120 days and now here it is right on top of us. The excitement is mounting. Bob Greene even knows we're all getting together and we've bought green jackets with 'Living My BEST LIFE' printed on the back of them. Cool
One by one we made flight reservations into Knoxville and two of us are driving in. We've planned our menus for the weekend and have our grocery shopping list with all of our BL meals and snacks ready to go. We'll do our shopping out there.
I have all of my Wii Fit and Wii Outdoor Challenge and Wii Sports equipment ready to go. The Leslie Sansone DVDs, elastic bands, weights and waist belt are all ready to go along for the fun.
The final count is 10 gals. Seven of us are BL, with three travel companions joining us. Besides myself (Grancookie) and a traveling companion Carol who is following the Best Life Diet, these ladies will be coming: Judy (judynsc) from Chicago, IL with her daughter who is also on the Program; Donna (Donabella) from Fenton, MO is driving in; Suzanne (Suzi-Q) from Southwest Ranches, FL; Ginger (GingerK49) from OR along with her traveling companion Norma; and Melanie (Critter7789) from Alta Loma, CA along with her sister Peggy.
Look out Tennessee, here come "Bob's girls!"
