  • Usually they award the top finishers in age brackets. otherwise, you can just sign up for the 5k, get your t-shirt, enjoy the energy of all the people wanting to raise money and get healthy and try to beat your time! I think it's neat to do 5k's because of all this, plus free food and drinks!?!??!lol You also get to run…

  • My caloric intake says 1200 as well, before exercise etc. You need to look and see if your sugar intake is over the daily "allowed". You may need to go online and look up what's listed on the low glycemic index for food, and start making your choices based on that. Also, if you are just walking, you aren't burning a bunch…

  • Ok, I am glad I'm not the only one who thinks that there is something wrong with either me or the "if every day were like this" because even if my day varies, there is still an average, and I am still not even close to the average they keep telling me the past five weeks. I was so excited to see that at first, but now, it…
