I was just thinking, wouldn't it be cool if MFP had like an annual convention, were we could all meet, have special speakers about weight loss etc. See how people are progressing, meet the people that have been supporting you along the way. Idk might sound crazy but I think its a great idea. There are so many organizations that have annual meetings so why not us?? What do you guys think??

    Good idea, lets have it in New Orleans! It's a great convention city and lots of things to do. Plus I wouldn't have to travel lol.

    Same here, it would be such great motivation for all of us. It could be planned in advance so that people can make arrangements.

    I always thought that would be awesome to meet the people I'm pals with but this is way better! Like a convention for weightloss! how awesome. We could also have like the superstars...people who have lost like 100+lbs and they could speak. that would be so great!

    great idea

    Why not have it at a place like Hilton Head Health? That way we know the buffet would be nutritious, and we could get some great workout tips!

    One of the groups I am is MEETING in Vegas at the end of the month. On a work trip I did meet one of the group members in her location. This trip I get to meet the others.

    So, it can happen.

    Sounds like a great idea! I'd be glad to help organize...it's one of my strong suits.
    Of course, I would vote for Atlanta though....great airport, and lots to do. Plus it's not far for me. :)
    Vegas sounds awesome, but don't know about it....too many gourmet restaurants!!
