I just signed up for it.  It's Saturday September 26th.  Who else is going?  Just curious...

I had ignored other stuff I've gotten related to it, but last night at the support group meeting them mentioned it.  They would really like a large turn out.  News media pay attention to hundreds of people, not 50.

If you are interested, the link is:  www.walkfromobesity.com

Just FYI!

I plan to come as a spectator. I heard there would be lots of great vendors and bariatric samples there.  I will be cheering you on from the sidelines.

I am not up to doing 5 mles yet, but will definitely consider it a goal for next year.  Are you already up to 5 miles?

Actually I think the walk is 5K (3.2 Miles) - that being said, I could find that informatin NO WHERE on the website.

You have to click on "join a walk" and then choose Atlanta to find any information on the Atlanta walk.

And yes, it's a 5K, which is 3 +miles.  Can I do it?  i don't run, I'm only walking.  So yes, I can.  I usually don't walk for exercise due to foot issues, but a one time thing I can do.  I'm not racing or anything.  I finish when I finish.

I signed up as soon as I heard about it!  I'M READY!  I might be half dead by the end...haha...But I'm doing it!

I also was looking for how long the walk was and couldnt find it either!  Where did you guys hear 5K from??

I thought I saw 5K on the website, but I also have a flyer I was given at Northside last night that had it in print.

Thanks for this post.  I just signed up for the walk also.  I am excited and will invite many of my family and friends to come and walk with me.
