Acid reflux gone?
I've had acid reflux for 7 years and am so hopeful that I will lose it as I lose the rest of my weight. It currently seems to be improving. So I'm curious about others' experiences with acid reflux during or after weight loss? Did it improve? Stay the same?

Falafel
I recently discovered this delicious food. I'd love to hear how you like to eat this. And if you make from scratch do you prefer fava bean or chickpea falafel?

Aquafaba
I've just been learning about this but haven't tried it. If you've used it what did you make and how did it taste? I'm mainly interested in this as an egg replacer in desserts.

Trail Running Tips
My husband and I hike 3-4x per week. We have been increasing our mileage and are now into the double digits. We are interested in getting into trail running.

Hiking Calculator
I hike 2-3 times per week. My mileage usually varies between 3-8 miles. I hike in the Colorado Rockies and the grade can really vary.
