Make the effort to incorporate more fruits and veggies into your daily diet. Be creative! And email your tips to: support@shapeupango.org — we'd love to share them!
Make a plan to get moving! Walking your hospital or health center campus, jogging in the park or rollerblading with your iPod will help you reach your goals.
