    SAY "NO" TO LATE NIGHT SNACKING -- NOVEMBER 2015 CHALLENGE

    Posts: 6,574 Member
    edited November 2024 in Motivation and Support
    Welcome to the November challenge!!! Wow...the year will soon be over...where did the time go?!

    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 .

      4th month with this thread and I am back! :)

      In October, I maintained my streak right up to 25th then, :( weakened :( for 1 day. Returning with the same goals for November.

      November Goals

      I am leaving the element of choice in here as it seems to help.

      :star: Finish eating by 9pm, 5 days out of 7 days a week
      :star: Finish eating by 10pm, 2 days of my choice out of 7 days a week (I'm upping the element of choice here)
      :star: Post progress here (most important goal)

      :sunglasses: Going for a full 30 day streak in November :sunglasses:

      Okay... I really need this because I am prone to eat late in the evening. So, I am setting my cut off time at 8:00pm. I will allow myself a cup of sugar-free green or black tea and water.

      I started at the end of October and found it really helped me. My goal is no eating after 7pm except for water and herbal tea. Hoping to meet 6 out of 7 days.

      I'm in! Since joining MFP, I have discovered that I would never be over my ideal calorie goal if I was not late night snacking! This is a life habit that is going to change. Thanks for the board!

      OK, plan for November: Eating a light dinner no later than 9:30 p.m. (because I work until 9:00 weeknights). Will report in weekly on Sunday morning (my weigh-in day) beginning Nov. 8.

      No eating after dinner. Eat dinner by 7:00pm. Drink a cup of black tea in the evenings. This is the toughest time of the day for me.

      This sounds like a great idea!

      My goals is to not eat after 8PM on work days, and 8:30 PM on non-work days.
      Have water if still hungry after that.

      Thanks for this thread!

      I posted my 10/31 on the October page, but want to commit to my health goals for this month here! This accountability has been a huge help to me since finding the group on 8/2. Thanks @lamlam2013 for keeping it going.

      Here are my November Weekly Goals:
      :star: Daily water goal: Full gallon at least 5 of 7 days per week. …
      :star: Daily sleep goal: Seven hours at least 5 of 7 days per week. …
      :star: Daily walking goal: Exercise-paced walk at least 5 of 7 days per week. …
      :star:Late Night Snacking: Eat nothing after 9 p.m. 6 of 7 days per week. …
      …
      I keep the following reminder in front of me throughout the month. I know most of my LNS was simple impulse action, before engaging my brain! Maybe it will encourage someone else:
      Adults devise a plan and follow it. Children do what feels good. Maturity is the ability to delay pleasure. (Dave Ramsey & others) … Am I adulting or impulsing today? :grin:Great goals aren't achieved on an impulse or a whim!

      I think you will be very pleased with the scale! Since I controlled my late night snacking and bingeing Sept 1, I'm down 13 lbs.
