I recently retired and don't see much on Meetup that appeals, since my interests are things like discussion groups, psychology, ideas, etc. Foot/leg injuries prevent me (for now) from walking far or doing much physical stuff. What groups are my fellow Shoreliners into socially?

Also haven't found a good volunteer fit yet, for various reasons. If you volunteer, what do you do? I'm looking for something that lets me talk to people, perhaps from a front-desk or educational/helpful aspect. (Tool Library may be a good idea, though looking for a place where the main faces/staff stays the same. Hard to explain here.)

My husband is 70 and though he lost 30 lbs on his own, he's plateaued and wants (needs, as do I) to lose another 20 or 30. The new oral GLP-1s available this month could be a godsend. As we get older there seem to be more safety issues around using these meds, though, like muscle loss. If he doesn't have a lot of muscle to begin with due to hip and knee replacement muscle loss, this is a concern. Anyone here around his age that's had success without big side effects or other issues? His only current health concerns are controlled BP, controlled GERD, and he's on an SSRI.
