Say "NO" To Late Night Snacking in January

Welcome January. New year, new goals, new success!
"Tired of self-sabotaging by munching after dinner? Upset that you double your in-calories at night? Then it's not just me . To get some help (or inspire us by your good example), please join us in this challenge.
We're usually fixing a cut-off time, past which only non-caloric things are allowed (unsweetened tea or water). Yet, we're not that strict: you may allow yourself a handful of almonds, if you're able to stop at that. Figure out what fits you and start counting... .
We go by the formula:
Me: "number indicating how many evenings you stuck to it"
LNS: "number of times late night snacks won"
Example: Me: 2 - LNS: 0 indicates I won the first two nights.
Some people also add a * to the latest number. In the example, that would be
Me: 2 - LNS: 1*
if LNS won the 3rd night.
It's as simple as that. Or as complicated, as you will discover. Nevertheless, the persistence and good results of some of our "old" members (and some people keep coming back) show that the battle is worthwhile .
Welcome!

Thanks for starting this challenge again in the New Year! I need it desperately. I wasn't paying attention to my 9:30 pm cut-off time until last night so I'm giving the first few days to LNS. Hopefully, no more than that.

That's an idea! The ones who originally started this group haven't been active on it for months. I'll post it and and then post the link below. Thanks for the idea, zaza!
