Evie Wi 7 Posted March 10, 2015 (edited) I'm wondering if anyone from Washington state is planning to attend the Obesity Action Coalition's annual conference in San Antonio TX this summer? I've made my reservations, now I'm just waiting for their registration to open. Looks like a great educational opportunity. http://www.ywmconvention.com/ Edited March 10, 2015 by Evie Wi Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Susie P. 8 Posted March 22, 2015 Mine will be at PSSC. How are you feeling so far? I'm nervous about those first few weeks.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Michelle Rynsai 84 Posted March 23, 2015 I started my journey with PSSC but ended up going to NWWLS because the people at PSSC we're a bit rude for my liking. I love the choice I made with NWWLS and would recommend them to anyone. I hope things go well for you Susie. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
