Pop Chips!
My new favorite snack: Pop Chips. They're all natural, and healthy. They're real potatoes, but they're air-popped, not fried or baked.

Hello from Chicago
I too vow to make this the year. I'm 40+, and not extremely overweight...but a little over the high end of the "acceptable" range for my age and height. I want to be on the low end of that range.
