Will the clothing be exchange only or will it be like a garage sale where they might be purchased? I don't think I am driving so no extra baggage.

Hi

I'm planning to attend conference, just want to make sure which Wyndam Hotel it is at, there are 3 in the Dallas area.

Thanks

Any news on how the clothing exchange will work - I will try to bring some on hangers - but I would love to know what to expect - might determine how many clothes I bring. Will it be like a garage sale - you can buy the items cheap, will it be - you bring and donate all yours and then take what items you want. Is there a limit?

Here's the hotel info from an earlier post -

Wyndham DFW Airport North

4441 W. John Carpenter Freeway

Irving, Texas 75063

Can't wait! Wish I were already banded so I'd have something to contribute to the clothing exchange. :thumbdown:

I am definately going too. Wonder if we are supposed to get a confirmation on our sign up for the conference? Guess I could email Coachcher. I am looking forward to this as well.

The Clothing exchange will be available for everyone who wants to participate. No purchasing of the clothes will take place.

Whatever we have left over I will donate to a local women's shelter here in the DFW area.

Everyone who has signed up is on the list. All you need to do is go the registeration table to pick up your name tags.

I am so excited and looking forward to meeting everyone.

You don't have to be banded to contribute to the clothing exchange. Bring what you don't think you will be wearing much longer and pick up some smaller sizes so you will be prepared once you start losing weight.

It's casual, but make it your own "special" occasion! Dress up if you like, make yourself "feel good"!!

I am so STINKIN excited I can't stand it! I mean, a road trip with a girlfriend, a three day stint in a beautiful hotel - all sorts of band-friends that I finally get to meet, tons of useful information - WOOHOO!!! I can't wait!!!!

I hope our nametags have our LBT Handles on them! That will be how I know most everyone!!!

Hey, I know we can wear what we like, but what are you guys going to wear. I was planning on casual during the seminars and maybe a flirty dress for the fall fling.

I SO don't want to feel out of place.

Any ideas on what you guys are bringing with you to wear?
