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 -
She might do better to find a physically active hobby that she enjoys and/or a physically demanding performance goal that she cares about enough to train for. Or just integrating a higher level of activity into her daily routine (though this is obviously contingent on logistics)--self-propelled commuting and/or errands, treadmill desk, whatever. A modest actuarial improvement in health outcomes is not enough to motivate most people to do something that would otherwise be pointless.
I'd also not expect much change in her appearance/body composition merely from starting to exercise. Lots of people can quite easily eat enough to keep up with whatever energy output they can sustain. If she's not bound and determined to change her physique, her physique probably isn't going to change much.
Alternatively, get her into a punishment/humiliation kink and have her do burpees and tuck jumps and so on as punishment, as per a greentext that I can't find at the moment.
