Toning without taking the house down with me?
Hey MFP family, I was wondering if anyone can recommend a good workout video for toning that doesn't involve jumping, stomping, or traveling around the house.

low calorie fast food options?
Goodmorning everyone! Well once again I was too rushed this morning to pack a lunch, and yesterday I had thought the breakfast borritos at McDonalds would have been an ok choice, since I gave away the hashbrowns and skipped the ketchup. But it turns out those tiny borritos are 290 calories each! Yikes! So I was wondering…
