I've just officially started the app today. I'm 51, and obese with stage 4 kidney disease, so my energy level is pretty non existent BUT I've stated by doing a 20 minute chair exercise routine. I'm starting off with small goals of 20 lbs every 3 months until I lose 100lbs.
Day one exercise, complete!
My question is, how do I record this type of exercise in the app? There isn't anything like this that I can see to record.

Hi Cindy.G- Congrats on starting to track! Welcome to the MND community. I am glad you found us! Nice work on taking the time to prioritize yourself with getting started on an activity routine.
I would suggest using "sitting, light effort exercise." I believe it burns about 3 calories per minute. Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns. We (Kathy and I) are happy to help. Joanna (Dietician)

Thank you! I know it's not much but at least it's a first step, I'll look for that and record it. Thanks again! :)

Hi Joanna! I've been out and about all week this week, which isn't normal for me, so with the extra exercise in the form of walking, I haven't been doing it this week. Home tomorrow, so back at it. Have lost just over 5lbs so far by counting my calories! So happy it's working!
