Our Resolution is a Covidian sponsered event happening this evening at the Sheraton Inner Harbor Hotel at 7pm. 

The [ Our Resolution ] Campaign is a collaboration of healthcare experts, doctors, nurses, patients and celebrities who share the goal of resolving Type 2 Diabetes.

Featured speaker is Stacy Halpirn, Actress, author and motivational speaker, Stacey Halprin is an inspiration to women and dieters around the nation. On Sept. 11, 2001, Stacey weighed 550 pounds, had Type 2 Diabetes and high blood pressure, and lived less than one mile from ground zero. As a result of her condition, she was unable to leave the area on foot when the planes struck the World Trade Center. During this time of national crisis, Stacey experienced a personal terror that changed her life and helped give her the courage to pursue bariatric surgery and regain control. To date, she has lost more than 300 pounds, resolved her Type 2 Diabetes and successfully made the journey from a morbidly obese woman to a healthy one.

In 2007, Stacey published Winning After Losing, How to Keep the Weight off Forever (Warner Books). She has shared her story on The Oprah Winfrey Show on several occasions including Oprah’s 20th Anniversary special, is an active contributor to WLS Lifestyles Magazine, and starred in the movie “Dresscode" with Shirley MacLaine, Kathy Bates and Gary Sinise.

You can still register for the event at www.OurResolution.com and I understand that walk ins are also welcome.
