I bought an el cheapo that is very unreliable. Just today I downloaded an app on my phone. The jury is still out...I will say that there are a TON of them available for your phone, so if you decide to try one, be sure to look them over carefully and read the reviews from other users. Some apps are very invasive, using way too much of my personal information from my phone for my comfort. The one I'm trying is called Stepometer, has several ways to program it, and only uses the ability to keep my phone from sleeping (while using the app), so, we'll see.

Update: Stepometer seems to be fairly accurate...there are several adjustments you can make in the settings, so I'm still experimenting, and I neglected yesterday to mention it is a free app on my android smartphone.

weigh in
Good luck! I weigh in every day which has to stop. It is too easy to get caught up in the excitement of seeing the scale drop so much in a week-that is because of water weight I am sure.

Need suggestions on healthy/low-calorie foods.
You can use shakes for a few days. I have used the Atkins shakes and they are very good tasting. Soups are good though as stated above you may have to puree them. You could puree or blend cottage cheese ...
