Early this year I wrote, as a part of my Making Change series, about Lose It!, the online/iPhone app to help with losing weight. I wanted to update you on my progress and make a different recommendation. … In early spring, I began looking for something else, something that incorporated workouts, because I was tiring of the same gym routines.

You’ve probably figured out by now that I’m a huge fan of Seinfeld.
