Hey Ya'll... Thank you for all your imput on my club that I am starting in the Portland,Oregon area for overweight teens. For those of you who dont' know about what I am going to do within the next few weeks, it is a club for overweight teens that meets 2 times a month with physical activities, field trips, and guest speakers with health classes. What I am asking you to do is....1. What do you think the name should be?2. Do you think meeting on a Saturday 2 times a month is hard?3. Should it be open to all kids? Not just overweight ones?4. What type of physical activities do you enjoy?Anything that you can help me with would be great! Thanks and keep on with the hardwork!!!!

I think it is awsome what you are doing. Infact, I along with some of my fellow nursing students are doing the same thing at the local Middle and Highschools in Atlanta,GA. I think teenagers are more likely to A) respond to people close to their age and B) who have had the same experiences. Let me know how things are going with your group. And it is great to see someone a in their 20's on here. I think it would be great for this organization to create a message board for 18 and Up? What do you think??

I am going to have this be a non-profit organization.
