I am a newbie here, but from past weight loss...I always try to keep snacks in the car. Usually the desire for fast food is when I am hungry and I am driving home from some place. Also as a Christian I have a hard time fasting for spiritual reasons....so the little things like denying my fast food stop...not going to that…

I once heard that for blisters on feet wear two pairs of thin sock as that makes the socks rub together...not the sock vs the skin...???sounds crazy I know.

Hi, i am new here to...I can totally relate to your spine problems. I have ankylosing spondylitis , chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia. I just resigned from my last job due to the fact I herniated a disc...possible due to the type of work I was doing. I am contemplating applying for disability, as there is not much I can due…

Hi Sarah...I know what you mean about the fibromyalgia thing...as i have it too along with inflammatory spondylitis. Not fun. Exercise is so crucial but do not overdo as tht may trigger a flare up. Topamax is a drug similar to Lyrica and it helps on lose weight. Maybe you could ask your doctor about this? keep plugging…

I make mine home made...a can of chick peas, tahini paste, garlic and a little greek yogurt. Recently I found that Winco(an employee owned large grocery chain in the pacific northwest) has hummus powder in their food bins- all you have to do is add water to the powder. It tastes great and is so much easier too.
