seem to be anything that I can swing into with lessstress and more effort than I'm interested in.

Yes, I know anything worth having or doing take effort-- been preaching that all my life. It's just that my mindset is that exercise is essentially a waste of time with no mental stimuli. No, I don't really believe that, but my biggest struggle is with that attitude, wherever it came from.

Anyway, the reviews of Noom say it's a phone app only, with little function on a desktop PC. I don't really now about that since you can sign up on a pc. I did find it curious that the signup did have health questions, but nothing about smoking or drinking. Yet they managed, with much cartoon graphics, to come up with a "plan" for me. I'll cost me 10 bucks to find out what it is, though.

(I wouldn't mid paying the 10 bucks, but I can't find my wallet.)

Anyway, My Fitness Pal seems to do pretty much the same thing, including turning my phone into a pedometer, and it's free. I assume Noom includes a pedometer, since it talked about my stride, but there's that 10 bucks...

Anyway, I shall see how it goes.

(And I'm really worried about that lost wallet.)
