If you have only incandescent lights, and no windows whatsoever, then you'll have almost no useable lighting, at least when it comes to growing plants. The plants below might do fairly well for you since they all can grow with little/poor light conditons:

1. Pathos (Epipremnum) and Philodendron - Similar plants that grow vine-like
2. Snake plant aka mother-in-law tongue (Sanservieria)
3. Zeezee aka ZZ plant (Zamioculcus)
4. Corn plant (Dracaena)
5. Cast iron plant (Aspidistra)
6. Chinese evergreen (Aglaonema)
7. Dieffenbachia
8. Peperomia
9. Peace lily (Spathiphyllum) - The only one that has substantial blooms

The rubber tree (Ficus elastic) might do OK but probably not as well as the above plants.

Beware, if you have pets, pretty much all of these plants are poisonous to cats/dogs.

The reason it's so hard to lose weight when you get up in age is because your body and your fat have become good friends.
