The keynote speaker will be Dr. Nick Yphantides, M.D., from San Diego, CA and author of the book, "My Big Fat Greek Diet."  Throughout his adult life, Dr. Nick constantly battled his weight and the embarrassment of not being able to fit into airline seats and restaurant booths.  Galvanized by poor health and years of humiliation, Dr. Nick set out on an incredible physical and mental weight-loss journey.  In 2001, Dr. Nick traveled 38,000 miles across the United States, visiting 30 major league ballparks and 110 major league baseball games.  During that time he dropped 267 pounds without surgery or medication. His life story has been featured in People Magazine, Reader's Digest, Washington Post, New York Times and on CNN, Fox News, Focus on the Family and the National Enquirer.  Register at http://www.okturningpoint.org/ before November 13, 2009, to hear his amazing success story of his weight loss.
