Wait - are you supposed to start over when you blow it? I have been tracking good days / blew it days as in my post above. What is the purpose of the * notation then, if you are supposed to start over each time? Thanks in advance. ~ Kathy
It's not "required" to post your streak. Some of us started doing it to encourage each other. If you do, to be consistent you would start over when you blow it. A "streak" is the number of consecutive days you string together with out letting LNS win!
If LNS wins, your next post would have the * on that number and streak would be "0." 
It's the 9th, so we've had 8 nights this month. If I won the first 3, LNS won 2, then I won the last 3, my notation would look like:
Hope that helps.Me: 6*

I'm a little late on this challenge but would like to join starting tonight. The late afternoon/early evening snacking is what gets me, so I'll include it with this challenge. I'll allow myself a small snack after dinner if it's within my calorie range.

The * shows that you won or LNS won on the most recent night.
Me: is the no of successful days overall for the month.
Streak: is the no of days since the last time LNS won.
So for me:
Me: 9* I have been successful for 9 nights including last night
LNS: 0
LNS hasn't beaten me so far this month
Streak: 9...(13...overall) Taking one day at a time! I haven't given in to LNS for 9 days in a row this month.
You have to start a new streak each time you give in.
The no in brackets is the total no of days since I last gave in to LNS.
@WalkerPop looking forward to your Century of success tomorrow. Way to go!
@huango We set our own parameters here. Scheduling in that healthy supper is sensible if you eat so early and work late. Welcome to the group.
@blackburn23 Building in the cushion returns the element of choice to you and means that you stay in control rather than fail :thumbs up:0 -

Hi, everyone! I know I am late to the thread - but I hope the attitude is better later than never!
Since I am in grad school and work full time, my late night snack typically consists of carbs and a stiff drink (both of which are waistline killers).
I joining in with no snacking or drinking on 6 out of 7 nights of the week after 8pm!

I broke down last night and snacked. I went to bed really early and told myself I would wake up at midnight to get some much needed housework done. Well, that didn't work out. I tried to get up and told myself I needed the food and snacks to get me motivated and help wake me up. So, I snacked and said, I'm still tired and unmotivated. I'm going back to sleep. However, I did get a lot of that work done today.0 -

I really need to stick with this.
I just weighed myself, and I've gained 6# in 2.5months. Being short, that's over 5% of my body weight.
I know a lot of it has to do with the bad night time snacking.
So if I can get this under control, it will help a LOT to keeping my weight down.0 -
yes! i already dont eat after 8pm0
