2poufs Posted August 31, 2015 Report Share Posted August 31, 2015 Which is better than the news this time last year. I'm 45yo, 5' female, 7.5mo post-WLS. 194lbs now, down from 306.5 this time last year. The doc's weight goal for me is 106.5, but I'd be happy in the 125 range. I've lost enough that my doctors are pretty sure I won't just croak over from exercise... or, you know, blinking or breathing... so it's time to up my fitness game. Right now, I'm walking. I also do beginning yoga and swim. I don't do gyms. I'm slowly branching out into other forms of exercise to see what I like. 25 years ago, I did long distance running, but my knees say I'm still another 50-60lbs away from trying that again. I'm a book editor, so my job is sedentary. However, I work from home, so I can just go for a walk whenever! Here's my standard "About Me" blurb... Red Cross volunteer; wife; mother; grandmother; catmama; dogmama,; lover of wine; addicted to pink stuff; pork bbq connoisseur; OCD closet organizer; Editzillaâ„¢; Chief Instigator at ThesauruSnark, Inc.; combat baker; crochet hooker; useful humanoid I have no idea to which guild I belong. If there were one for Firefly or The Walking Dead, I'd be there in a heartbeat! After all, our house is named Serenity. So, I'll wander a bit like a walker looking for fresh meat and figure it out.

2poufs Posted August 31, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2015 Open bottles are my fave, but I have some love for closed bottles too. Cab, merlot, prosecco, moscato. Then again, any open bottle of red is fair game. Quote Important stuff goes here. And things. Weight loss trek to 106.5lbs... 56%56% Link to comment
Nedwin Posted August 31, 2015 Report Share Posted August 31, 2015 Roscatto is our new thing we recently discovered. We pretty much have to get a bottle for each of us.

2poufs Posted August 31, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2015 Hubby is a vodka kind of guy, so the wine is mine. If he wants any, he can buy his own! Besides, he really loves sweet reds, which are almost always too sweet for me. Quote Important stuff goes here. And things. Weight loss trek to 106.5lbs... 56%56% Link to comment
