Be Good To Yourself - Part 1

<span style="color:blue">Restored from backup 1/5/08 - John</span id="blue">

Back in January 2005 Sally D started a thread which later became known as the OV Slimming Club. The first thread went on to 280 pages[msneek] before we eventually had to start Part 2, then Part 3, Part 4 and finally Part 5[msneek]

Fast forward almost 3 years and many of us are still long term posters - myself, Mizzy, Fiona, Julieanne, Sally D, Thorton (Jill), Janny, plus in 2007 some newer comers canarypam (Pam), another (Frances), SDJ (Sandra), Stabard (Jan), Albear (Ali), plus of course Caitlin (Paula), Nikki D, Sharon G have all popped in for a while[msnwink]

Of course it goes without saying that we welcome newcomers with open arms, so feel free to pop in for a chat anytime[msnsmile]

The thread started out very much as a Slimming Club but it has developed into so much more of a healthy living thread with a huge amount of support, care and understanding of what we all go through as we strive towards a much healthier way of life for ourselves and our families[msnsmile]

I would just like to say at this point a huge big THANK YOU to all the girls on the Slimming Club threads for all your love and support over the last 3 years[clap][clap][clap][clap]

So it just remains for me to say that the old Slimming Club Part 5 will now be locked and we can look forward to a fabulous 2008 on our renamed thread BE GOOD TO YOURSELF - PART 1[cheers][cheers][cheers]

Can't believe its been nearly 3 years[msneek]

Still not ready to come back just yet, too much christmas food still about[msnoo]

Was hopeing once I get flights booked for August it will get me going again. Have been looking like mad but a couple of days before christmas DH was told that 7 of the 11 managers at his work are being made redundant in April, great just what we need after the awful start to the year we had last year. So all on hold AGAIN. Never had this worry before and it's not nice.

Just glas we had not already booked.

Wishing everyone a great 2008[clap]

Good Luck with this new thread. I am sure it will be as successful as the old one Julie.[cheers]

Hope your new is not as bad as you are expecting Sally, but still not a nice way to start a new year off.

Happy New Year to everyone and Healthy eating plans!!!! [high5][high5]

Well, it's weigh in day today! As our usual day is Tuesday our consultant has deceided to do a quick weigh in session today to cover xmas day and new years day! I have had no mince pies, xmas pud, custard, cream , ice cream etc but .... I have too much wine and we went to my sisters for xmas day - she cooked roast potatoes with olive oil and leeks in cheese sauce which I cannot resist - oh dear! We have entertained every night since xmas day, I have avoided pudding but have had cheese and biscuits (cheese healthy A choice) so I am hoping for just a couple of pounds on which I am sure I can get rid of before the next weigh in!!

Wish me luck!! Will check in later and own up to damage!!!

[mizzy]
