Men, what should a woman eat(or not) on the first date?
Hi- I'm going on my first date with a new guy and I don't know what to order. I don't know exactly where we are going, but I'm asking not necessarily in regards to calories but more in regards to what I "should eat." Like what looks better- a salad or a burger? Thanks!

What happens to your body when you binge...

Binge... Self Destruction
Hi! I am a little distraught and upset. Today, after two weeks of not cheating I blew it, and not just a little bit, but a lot. It was a little bingey looking. I have gained about five pounds in three days, and I've been eating more, but I'm still under my calorie goal for the day, but today I blew it. I'm very…

115 or 127 lbs?
Hi! I know this is a little odd to ask, but I am just curious. I am 5'3" and I used to weigh 115 lbs. I personally was confident, happy, and thin at that weight.

sodium help?
Hi! I know that weighing myself every day isn't always helpful. But last night I ate Chinese food at a nice restaurant and then observed my weight. Two days I was down to 126 pounds, today I am up to 130. I have eaten at a deficit both days, but the scale is telling me differently. Can sodium really affect me this much?

How to love your body? (mainly women?)

Doctor's Appointment Tomorrow
Hi- Tomorrow morning I have a doctor's appointment. I was told to not eat from midnight on. My question is this, may I drink Propel water or zero calorie water? Or is that not allowed? I also want to know how to ask for an in-depth thyroid test? Not just the generic. Do you know what to ask for?

self-esteem battle
I just posted earlier about a date, but I obviously need some votes of confidence... I feel really insecure and I'm unsure why a guy would ask me out on a date. I don't feel pretty enough and I feel like I need to lose weight. This sounds dumb, but I don't know how to love myself. Women, how do you do it?
