 I've been looking at the Obesity Action Coaltion Conference in October. Looks pretty informative. I still plan to come to OH Conference in the beginning of the month BUT the seminars are usually a variation of the same thing every year (I mostly go to socialize). 

Anyone live in Dallas? I like to multi-task on my trips :)

I'm thinking about going to this, too. I'm in Houston.

 If you do let me know as the room price for double occupancy actually makes it that much more affordable! My flight wouldn't cost *that* much either.

Moi.

Well, close enough.  About 20 miles SE of it.

 Ohhhhh....If I do come we must lunch! Or Zumba. Or run. Or something.

Hummmm....Dallas in October.  At least it won't be too hot.  It will be mid-level hellish rather than Dante's Inferno 9th ring of hell hot.

I'd be interested in making the trek.  Where can I find some info?

Here you go ma'love! The agenda actually looks really interesting. Good mix of stuff for WLS and non-WLS community. And subjects I have not seen done to death!!! 

Plus this whole ask the experts lunch thing is intriguing. I am really going to try to make this.

With our mild winters lately it could very well be Dante's Inferno 9th ring of Hell hot.  We had 80-90 degree temp days over this past winter.

August should be 100+ so October will probably still be in the 90's.  Which I'm okay with because 90 is just my style as cold as I stay!

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!  I was in Dallas last year 4th of July weekend and I was MISERABLE the entire time.  Seriously it was HAWT in Dallas.  Granted I was 360 pounds at the time but still....Walking from the rental car to the chuch left me a hot sweaty mess.  We can not have a repeat of that.

Temps in the 90s I can deal with.  I'll just pretend that I'm on a tropical island soaking up the sun rather than dust bowl Texas.  I've got lots of imagination.  I think I can swing it...lol.

You come, and I'll bring you one of them little tropical drink umbrellas so you can pretend away!
