Looking for a reason to go to Orlando, Florida? This could be your excuse! This September 25-27 is Your Weight Matters! The Obesity Action Coalition (OAC) sponsors the event, which is a non-profit organization that advocates for individuals who are affected by obesity.

Your Weight Matters! is an initiative to help you take control of your weight. The national convention is focused on…you! It gives you the chance to mingle with other individuals who are fighting obesity, as well as healthcare providers and other experts. Educational sessions include talks by surgeons and other doctors, physical therapists, dietitians, and nurses. Topics include:

  • Avoid weight regain after bariatric surgery.
  • Figuring out which weight loss option is best for you.
  • Stress management.
  • Getting active at work.
  • Mindful eating.
  • Long-term medical concerns after weight loss surgery.

Besides these talks, you can attend useful and fun events such as:

  • Group exercise classes to start the day.
  • lunch with experts in obesity treatment.
  • Free health screenings.
  • A health expo, where you’ll find BariatricPal!

That’s right. BariatricPal is going to be at Your Weight Matters! I hope you’ll make it, too! If you can make it to Orlando between Thursday and Saturday, September 25-27, I’d love to see you at the expo! Stop by the BariatricPal booth and introduce yourself!

You need to pre-register for Your Weight Matters! if you want to go to the talks. There are free tickets available if you live in the area and just want to go to the Your Weight Matters! Expo. I hope to see you there!

Even if you can't make it to the convention in Orlando, you can still support the Obesity Action Coalition by becoming a member or an advocate or getting involved in other ways. It’s a great way to get involved in the fight against obesity.

I hope to see you soon in Orlando!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
