I am a 74 year old Type II diabetic. I was married for 50+ years and widowed since 7-3-2018. I have four daughters, 16 Grand children and 8 Great Grand children. I was a Coatings Chemist by trade for 48 years and retired in November of 2018. I am an Ex-marine, Vietnam Vet.
I have been known to play with a guitar as well as a trumpet and a violin. Have added the piano and ocarina.
I'm a computer geek who loves to cook and listen to audio books. Since being retired, in spite of my protests, I still do a bit of woodworking and have finished rebuilding my kitchen. I have added a lapidary operation and studio to go with the woodworking and stained glass works.
I went from 370 pounds when I started and stopped when I got to 260 which took a year. I figured 110 pounds deserved a break. I am currently at 262 pounds which I have held for the last 7 years.
I have decided to come back and pick up where I left off and get rid of the last 100 pounds.
You may have noticed that I have not mentioned sports or exercise. No reason to guess. I hate physical activity even though I understand the need for It.
I have added a stationary bike for some exercise but am going slow as I was diagnosed with A-fib, a fully blocked aortic artery which I seem to have grown my own by-passes for and ascemic heart disease in general. The weight loss can only be helpful.
Wishing all of us all the best!
