SAY "NO" TO LATE NIGHT SNACKING -- AUGUST 2017 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 .
You will notice some people post streaks of how many days they are free of late night snacking. This is definitely not a requirement, but if you want to do it for motivation, it works well.
Welcome!

I'm so thankful I found this group. The majority of my snaking is done at night. So I'm hopeful this accountability helps me break this habit.

I sort of dropped out last month due to a few vacations. But I'm back on the accountability bandwagon!
My goal is to eat only prelogged snacks after dinner 5/7nights per week.
Me: 1
LNS: 0 (and I was tempted because my teenager and his friend are eating big giant bowls of ice cream and it is really hot here!)3 -

Great job staying strong! Ice cream is my big downfall, too. I'm with you...July was a busy month with a couple mini vacations, but I am also determined to get back on track.2 -

I was about half and half last month. I'm reinvigorated and going to try to keep that LNS number in the single digits.2 -
