Topomax
Is anyone taking Topomax for Migraines (or seizures) and have you noticed it helping you weight loss?. I was just prescribed it 3 weeks ago, about 4 weeks into my weight loss journey, and it *seems* to be helping me along.

Trying to get fit, hard day today
I signed up for my first 5K 2 weeks ago and was all gung-ho about it. I've been running for the past 2 weeks about 3 times a week and also cycling 2 days/wk.

Just started
I just started on this site today. A friend who is running marathons has been using it so I thought I'd give it a try. Just signed up for my first 5K, 5 weeks away too. I've been a cycling a bit in the past, but wanted to give running more of a shot. Hope I can stick with it this time!
