These Feet Were Not Made For Walking
skn1224 commented on tmorgan813's blog entry in A funny thing happend while I was loosing weight
i use to get blisters in the same spots try wearing thicker socks and for the ones on top of your foot mine came when i had my shoes tied tooo tight.. dr scholls makes blister things like bandaids but you dont take them off put them on and leave them there thru your shower and everything and they will heal up quick! -

where im at you are required to loose 10lbs.. (not much but still if your having a hard time doing it already then 10 is rough) and you have to keep it off you are not allowed to gain any back and if you do they cancel your surgery until you can hold it steady....
