Best apps for home exercise?
I'm looking for a good *FREE* app to use for exercise. I have an android phone and an Amazon fire stick, for reference. I like yoga/pilates kind of junk. I'm in horrible shape, so realistically I probably need something a little less intense initially. All that said, I'm not a big exerciser so I'm open to trying new…

Eating at the office
I dont officially get a lunch break. Normally, I get coffee on my way to work in the morning. Around noon, I'll snack on some pretzels or crackers and have a diet Pepsi. Once in a while, I'll pack a small salad to eat at my desk. Any suggestions for healthy, low calorie stuff to eat for lunch? I want something more…

Back on mfp (again!)
Hello all! I've used mfp off and on over the years. A few summers ago, I lost about 40 pounds over the summer. But alas, I have gained it back in time.

Laser tag
Help! I'm playing laser tag today with my clients at work. I figure this should be a good calorie burn with all the running and ducking involved. But how should I log it? I don't have a HRM to use. I'm a 25 year old female and I weigh 162, if that helps any.

Brief Rant on Overweight Kids....You've Been Warned....
