I'm going to be there.  Probably get there around 8 am.  I think I'm probably going to wear black yoga pants and a purple shirt.  My hair is short and BRIGHT red.  I'm also over 6' tall.  I can honestly say it's not going to be easy to miss me!

Hope to see you there!

Girl.....we so will have to get a pick of us together.....I am about 5 ft tall.....lol

so excited you are coming!!!

Me and the hubby will be there!!!!

Yay for Ann and husband....cant wait!!!!

Darling lil' Court  will be there.... I am the young one of the group, and I am VERY SHy and Quiet.... Not sure what I be wearing yet, but I  am sure you will be able to find me... I have a VERY Big smile on me at all times...

Court......I am shy too......dont worry.

see you there
be careful driving

Me, my sister and her 2 y/o daughter will be there.  Depends on the weather as to what I will be wearing.  If its nice and warm then probably shorts and t shirt, but if its cool then jeans and t shirt.  ust follow the sound of a screaming 2 year old, LOL just kidding, she is pretty well behaved.

looking forward to seeing you again.....this time talk more.....lol

I know what it is like to attened the walks.....its alot of seeing and doing and walking. I usually do the diabetes walk.....not this year......

see you there

My sister and I have talked about, and are wanting to, do other walks as well.  Not just for the support, but for the fun and for the pride in doing something good.  The only thing that sucks is that we never can get any pledges.  Last year I went all around my street trying to get pledges for the Walk from Obesity.  I live in what's called the "main street district" where it's all old buildings and the courthouse is 2 blocks away and everything else is offices.  Well I went to the local radio station (Kwik 99.9 and like 3 other stations are housed there) nothing, then to Chesapeake oil...nothing, there was a few boutiques and such...nothing.  No one wanted to help out.  I had papers Susan had sent me, so I was armed with info all about what it was for, why I was doing it and what we were raising for. 

I am sure if I had been doing it for Susan G Komen walk, or Juvenile Diabetes or even suicide prev. they would have gave.  Not to many know the importance of needing to fight obesity like we fight cancer and diabetes.  I am going to try again this year and try, but I am sure I will get nothing.

As for family and friends, we are regular people barely getting by paycheck to paycheck with medical bills out the butt.  I will try to get atleast a dollar from everyone I know. 

I also think my sister is registering us online as a family this year to save a little on the reg. fees.

Girl.....let me tell you about people not wanting to donate to "OUR CAUSE"....for 4 of my 7 yrs in Ar I have raised money for diabetes because my neice is type 1 was diagnosed at age 2 1/2 and is now 14....very important to my family.....ok so I decided to ask one of my regulars to donate to my cause....he chuckled and said overweight people should exercise more and eat less......with that I said.....I used to be 233 and I had surgery to lose weight...I tried pushing the food away and exercising,,,,,,,, at that point he felt like a real idiot.....I have never spoke to him again and refuse to use his business .

People do not know there is a obesity problem.....they all think it is just eat less move more.....It is hard to get strangers to donate to this cause.....it is over look by the more public cause which by all means have effected me too in some way.

Good luck on your adventure.....I only ask for support from those who know me and my struggle. It is so sad too.......

see you saturday
Tammy

Val and I will be there.  He's going to be my chauffer, lol.  Can't wait to meet you all.  I'll be the one that is 2 inches taller than you, lol.

dang Sybul.....I am not much bigger than a garden gnome.....you cant be shorter than me???  lol

see you there!!!

I will be there with 2 friends from work who are great!

One friend is blond, one is asian and she will have her son with her.

see you there!!!!!

I'm thinking I will drag my hiney there around 8... I believe I will wear a bright green t-shirt with a cartoony fish on the front and some black athletic capris. 

Can't wait to see you all!

I'll be there and I'm shooting for 8:00, but I'm always late...they don't call me, "The Late Lisa Woods" for nothing!

I'm 5'4 with shoulder-length curly red hair and a mouth that never stops running.  I'm wearing black yoga pants and a grey & black shirt that I HOPE will cover my hiney!  (And I typically wag around a Starbucks cup of coffee at all times.)

I'm bringing a camera and want to take lots of pics to post!  

I was really hopeing to be there this year but guess I wont be able to.
Hubby did not get a check this week so wont have the money to register or for gas.  I was so looking forward to meeting all of you.  Hopefully some other time.
Huggers,
Jan
