Gym anxiety after major weight loss — what worked for you?

A narrower follow-up, since the general answer is now clear:

Was that from a primary source or from a summary of one?

OP back with an update, since a thread like this is useless without one.

Reporting back with a partial result, because a partial result is still better than silence. Two of the three things suggested helped; I cannot separate them and I am not going to pretend otherwise.

Worth stating the units and the reference range whenever you post a number here.

Fair, and it stops being fair at the extremes. The middle of the range is well understood; the ends are where the honest answer is that nobody knows.

This is exactly what I could not find anywhere else. Sending this to two other people who asked me the same thing last week.

From the other side of the consultation, briefly. The honest answer is that the effect is real, the magnitude is contested, and the individual variation is larger than either. Those three things can all be true at once, and most arguments here are two people holding different parts of that.
