The Wednesday Wellness threads are meant to encourage users to ask for and provide advice and motivation to improve their lives. It isn't intended as a 'containment thread' and any content which could go here could instead be posted in its own thread. You could post:
-
Requests for advice and / or encouragement. On basically any topic and for any scale of problem.
-
Updates to let us know how you are doing. This provides valuable feedback on past advice / encouragement and will hopefully make people feel a little more motivated to follow through. If you want to be reminded to post your update, see the post titled 'update reminders', below.
-
Advice. This can be in response to a request for advice or just something that you think could be generally useful for many people here.
-
Encouragement. Probably best directed at specific users, but if you feel like just encouraging people in general I don't think anyone is going to object. I don't think I really need to say this, but just to be clear; encouragement should have a generally positive tone and not shame people (if people feel that shame might be an effective tool for motivating people, please discuss this so we can form a group consensus on how to use it rather than just trying it).
Jump in the discussion.

Notes -
I was considering making a joke that it would be cool if you could set a "locale" in your user settings, and for non-US/UK users, it would automatically convert Freedom Units to metric. Then I thought, it would be cool if there was a Chrome extension that did the same. Then I thought, I'm sure there is. And so it proved.
Here's how it looks. Would be nice if it rounded to the nearest kg, but better than nothing.
Nice. I looked around and found a more comprehensive extension that, sadly, doesn't replace the values inline, but works with other ameritarted units like degrees Fahrenheit and Florida Australias.
