Good Saturday AM to you all -

Just wanted to drop a note here and tell those that are on the fence about going next weekend to jump on over  It will be a blast.  Ya get to meet new friends, and see old ones.  Remember that without YOU, this event will not be successful........

Just a few reminders to the returning folks, and good info for the first timers......
1. Bring a sweeter or light jacket as the rooms get cold, better to add on the extra layers then to take them of..............well maybe!!!! LOL
2. Bring your camera - take and post many pics!!!!!!
3. The clothing exchange will be open all weekend. The difference is that on Saturday it will only be open before the conference, lunch and after.  It has been in the past that folks have hung out in the room rather than listening to a speaker.....
4. Keep your belongings safe - enough said right!!!
5. Make an effort to meet at least 3 people you do not know
6. If you have any questions, ASK.  If we don't have the answer, we can find someone that does!!!
7.  Dress code - well there really isn't any. Casual all weekend,
8. Bring your speedos and t backs - there is a pool.  I will have my pink speedo!!

And most of all HAVE FUN!!! Take with you when this is all over some good memories, pics and most of all, some very valuable information....

Anyone that is a returning guest and has something to add that I forgot, add away.

Love y'all and see ya next week!!!!!!!!!

To all the Fashionista gals.....

Wear a fanny pack to keep your valuables in.  It's with you at all times and you won't be tempted to set it down somewhere.  It gives you two hands to dig through the piles of clothes... carry your plate....easy on the shoulders...and you'll get goodie bags so it will free you up for that.  You're in Dallas.  People are always looking for an 'easy target'.

"Nuff said".

Super post!!!

And yes, please take into consideration that speakers put a lot of effort into their presentations.  You don't want to miss them!  I'll have a video showing off the TMB during mine so I sure don't want you to miss that one!

I'm bringing a bunch of clothes too!

Remember if you have a picture of anything else besides your picture for an avatar, you may not be recognized!!

I think that's it for now!
hugs, Y

It's funny how our minds play tricks on us.  I could have sworn you were smaller than me.  I have no doubt I'll have several that fit!

I do hope there is something in the exchange for those of us stuck in the 6/8 range.  I know most people that have that size don't get rid of it.  I'll cross my fingers.  Maybe I will get lucky, and I am bringing more clothes as well.  Can't give up mine, but Emm has two boxes of stuff that she has undergrown.

I'll have some stuff.  What size tops do you wear?  I'll have some medium and probably large tops too.  Don't worry, there will be stuff there for you!!

Sweater OR jacket?  lol  I'm layering up, bringing both a sweat and a jacket along with a lap size fleece blanket and seriously considering gloves cause my hands are always cold!! 

Bring your before pictures!!  Everyone will want to share in your success. 

And bring something to take down email address and screen names to reconnect online once you get back home.  You'll make new friends, expand your support system, gain workout buddies and maybe even want to exchange recieps.
