24/F 340 down from 359.  
  
I've just gone from virtually NO activity, to walking 2 miles, 5 times per week (along with diet changes). My biggest problem has been blisters! I'm desperately clinging to the motivation I have right now and don't want to stay home because my feet are a wreck, and risk never getting off the couch again.   
  
On Friday I'll be buying walking shoes so right now I'm not using good shoes, and I'm sure that's part of it. Also, my feet are understandably sweating a LOT when walking, so moisture has been a problem.  
  
I'm thinking the proper shoes, plus building up thicker skin in vulnerable areas will help with future blisters.   
  
My question for you guys: how do you treat bad blisters while you have them so you can still get outside and walk without horrible pain?  
  
I also think I might be getting athlete's foot (hilarious to me - I couldn't be further from an athlete). Nothing itches, but between my toes is burning. When at home, I keep my feet bare and very dry, but moisture is a problem during any exercise. Any advice on products that work best for you?
