Wellness Wednesday for January 22, 2025

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).

I've done it. At first started with semaglutide. Semaglutide is good, but has more side effects than others.

I lost about 30 pounds on semaglutide, but needed to lose another 20 to be healthy. After a year of semaglutide, I swapped to tirzepatide, and finally broke through the weight barrier and am now approaching the weight I was a decade ago.

Go for it. I buy from grey market because it's so expensive in the United States, though sites come and go and it can be difficult to find a new one when the old one shuts down.
