Fluoxetine advice
I need advice about people's experiences with the drug fluoxetine (prozac). I have had multiple psychologists and two psychiatrists suggest it, but I'm afraid of trying.

Anyone want to be my personal shopper? :D
I'm looking for clothes for graduate school/ engineering industry interviews that I'll have in the upcoming year. I really want to look nice so I can feel more confident about myself, which will lead to less tripping over words and shaking.

Eating: before or after exercise?
So I've heard both, and I wanted more opinions AND reasoning, do you eat before or after you exercise, and why? Not looking for "because I like to" or broscience answers, I'm looking for reasoning that says which is better for a losing weight/being healthy perspective. My figure skating coach used to say I *should* eat…

Someone explain to me why I'm gaining weight? :P
My food diary is open, at my height (5'8) and weight I don't think I should be gaining, and I'm even more active than my exercise diary shows. :P I'm confused and upset. This isn't just some daily fluctuation, I've been steadily gaining (now at 7 pounds) over the last month and a half. It's not muscle I gained an inch…

Can 1200 cause starvation mode and subsequent plateaus? Also, if you eat 1200 cals for like, 6 out of 7 days a week and ate a bit more on the 7th day would you still go into starvation mode eventually?

I have no idea anymore...was this a balanced day?
So, I have never had an entirely normal relationship with food and I'm just not sure anymore what a healthy day of food consists of. I think today was good, can someone give me input or advice?

new + a question!
Hi all, I'm not really new to the site but I'm new to the forums *little wave* . I joined the site after last year, as a freshmen in college, I realized one night I'd had cookies for breakfast, pizza and a cheesecake for lunch, and a hot dog and an entire bag of candy for dinner. Now that I'm recording what I eat I'm doing…
