It's September!
One other "addition" some of us have added to the formula is the duration of the current streak. For instance, you've won the last three nights, your scoreboard might look like this:
Me: 7*
LNS: 3
Streak: 3
Again, welcome! You're among friends.

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!

September Weekly Goals:
I think I'm going to raise the bar slightly.- Daily water goal: Full gallon (128 oz) at least 5 of 7 days per week. …
- Daily sleep goal: Seven hours at least 5 of 7 days per week. …
- Late Night Snacking: Eat nothing after 9 p.m. 6 of 7 days per week. …
I realize the first two goals are off-topic. (I hope you'll indulge me.) You friends have become secondary accountability partners, so I'm just puttin' it out there. These are my Achilles heals, as it were. Coffee, tea, and Dt Coke are diuretics and contain caffeine. Both aspects make them counterproductive for me. (The more I drink the less hydrated I am, but the more muchies - LNS - I succumb to.) I've replaced them with water, only having an occasional coffee. Concerning the sleep goal, besides being healthier, the earlier I go to bed the less LNS I give in to.0 -
