  • Anything with chocolate as a key ingredient- esp. Reese's Peanut Butter Cups Cheese My way of avoiding the binging is to not avoid the food completely. With the cheese it's about moderation and portion control. With the chocolate, I remind myself that it is a treat/reward - and I restrict myself to one serving and take the…

  • I stick with water for my day-to-day exercise and take a Salt Stick if I am in need of the electrolytes.

  • I disagree. Esp. with the profile photos part. I have friends on here that have completed triathlons who are "bigger" or weigh more than me.

  • I agree! I've been on it for almost 14 and the only negative side effect my OBGYN has talked with me about is bone weaking/loss and to make sure I am taking extra calcium to help counter it.
