Donating Plasma
I donate twice a week and I always eat a good meal before hand. But what I want to know is if what I eat still counts towards my calories for the day? Or should I eat back anything? Do I lose a lot by donating? I know I lose carbs and protein. But what about calories?

What scale do you trust most?
So I weighed myself the other day and my home bathroom scale said I weighed 218.6. That's a 6.2 lb weight loss in just 7 days. I was excited.

Lacking Motivation to Exercise
I haven't exercised in almost a week. I can't seem to find the motivation to. I've been incredibly stressed out and that definitely hasn't helped. I actually broke down while I was jogging one day. And since then I haven't wanted to exercise. Or I have but I just don't. I don't know what my problem is. I know that I need…

Its a bit discouraging. But I also feel like I'm not doing something right. I eat between 1200 to 1500 calories a day. I work out…
