I eat them. Any other website or plan I have seen that involves calorie counting usually gives a range for calorie goals. For me it was usually 1200-1550 a day to eat. MFP exercise calories usually fit nicely into that range when I exercise, so I keep that in mind when I am planning my meals and snacks for the day.

Many people have already mentioned apps that I like, but I also want to recommend the Nike+ app, which works with the shoes if you buy the chip insert. It tracks my jogs and is pretty motivating. There is also an app for This American Life, the NPR podcast. It has every episode from past years, and is great for distraction…

One great tip is to bring your old shoes with you. The tread should be pretty worn if you have had them for over 2 years, and that can give you and your salesperson clues as to what sort of support is necessary, especially if you go to a mall store. Good luck!

What kind of vinegar do you use? I use a pomegranate balsamic as salad dressing. I spent a bit more on a nice bottle, but since I don't even use a tablespoon at a time I've had it forever. I also use it for roasting beets-delicious!

I like making my own chips as well! One of my favorite snacks is a wedge or two of Laughing Cow swiss cheese with salsa on top. It's a substantial and filling snack with a serving of wheat thins or chips, and seems much more rich than it is!

The Skecher Shape Up is similar to the original, more expensive MBT, which is marketed to people with back and knee problems. Skecher marketed their more affordable version as a fitness shoe, and voila, the brand struck gold. I no longer work with the shoes, but at the time each box came with a pamphlet and dvd about the…

I second the vote for vodka and water with a slice or two of lime. I used to drink vodka tonics all the time (or greyhounds), but it is really hard to find bars that stock diet tonic. I like that it isn't a sweet drink, and I am more likely to take my time and enjoy it, rather than rushing to the next round.
