April is here already. The year is going by fast!
Another Month -- Another Challenge!!!
"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.
You set what you feel is late night snacking. For example, if you have extra calories left for the day, you can have a snack if it's small. Others decide not to eat at a past a certain time. It's up to you.
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!

So... the title of the thread means "say YES to late night snacking." Which I was totally on board with, as a challenge, but I see now that is not the case and I'm a little disappointed.0

I was inspired by your thread last month. Although I only saw it last week, I accepted the challenge and logged in my diary as to if I met the challenge the night before. The little success each day is empowering. Thanks for starting this. I'm in for May!0

I didn't understand it but I am half asleep, I think you count how many nights you didn't screw up your whole days good eating by raiding the fridge. I scored 1* tonight, no glass of wine, crisps nothing, just my dinner, yoga, water, sleep. I'm shattered!0

I really need the support for this, it's a problem for me!0

Glad the challenge is up and running! I am in again...do we keep running from last month's score or reset for May?0
