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).

Notes -
Week two of trt.
80 mg twice a week Subcutaneous.
Before numbers were 280 total test and 5.3 free test. Cholesterol was meh but not bad. Glucose was meh but not bad.
Really pretty excited.
I love the gym and it’s nice to be going steady again after a five ish year break.
What's your age? That seems quite low and a good thing you're starting TRT.
42 - also fat 6ft5 285
However 10 years ago my test was about 320 and 10 years ago I had no car and was bicycling everywhere and at the gym 5x a week
It’s almost 100% due to my very heavy drinking in my early 20’s - live and learn.
