Help with snacking!!

REDMANIV

Hows it goin fellow snakers and snackettes?!? Things out this way are going pretty good. I am having a pretty good run at saying no to our snackies. Curious to know if you are up for a little 7 day challenge.... I remember somewhere that it takes 21 days to lock in a new habit..............well how bout lets just shoot for 7. Ok here goes.

The challenge..............For one week............Once we close our MFP for the night...........no more snacks...........we have to close our MFP before midnight which means no more snacks until after we wake back up..........

Anyone interested in joinin meh??

We can simply come in here and say how we did.............goal is to get 7 out of 7.......... No snacks for me after my eating time was up however I will start tomorrow...........

Just in time for the weekend soooooooooooooo lets go : ).

Just past midnight here where I am at. I had a reasonable breakfast and lunch, skipped dinner and replaced it with a nice workout then got showered up and had a nice filling snack of mixed nuts, trail mix and pork rinds....I am very satisfied and done eating for the night........next food intake will be at breakfast. 1 of 7........yup I am calling it early : ).

No good today that's all I will say

Today will be a new day. One day at a time. If that is a recent picture of you...you look to be in pretty good shape. Are you in maintenance mode? 2 of 7 on this end, no snacks at all. Had a filling lunch and a filling dinner. Added in a salad with plenty of veggies for lunch and dinner and that seemed to really help keep me satisfied. I just finished up a late work out so my body is like.................feed me.............now. I am going to hold off though. It is after midnight and breakfast is a little under 4 hours a way. Have a great Sunday.

Great job on the no snacks last night. Awesome job on erasing almost 60 pounds this is impressive! I started around 240, last weigh in I was at 214 pounds. I will weigh in again on the 11th of May. My goal is also to get down into the 180's. No snacks for me again after midnight. 3 of 7 days complete. Lets have a good solid week of no late night snacking.........you can do it!

Late night snacking is my norm. I work the night shift. Any advice for night shifters?

Sure thing. I feel that I have a lot of freedom when I plan out the food that I am going to eat for the day and allot a certain amount of calories for snacks that I want. I will weigh out my portions and put the snacks in baggies or will buy snacks that are in the size that I want. Depending on what kind of day that I have planned (night for you) I will often have 500 to 600 calories or more in snacks. I know that whatever is in my "snack bag" is available for me to use. I can choose to eat all of the snacks or I can choose to only eat some of the snacks that I packed. Either way it is logged and available......I find that often I tend to not end up eating all of the stuff that I bring. It is nice to have options though.

I would do say if you eat your meals at night then snacks at night are OK if they if your calories for the day .But the no snacks during the day.

Day 2 no snacks so far so good

REDMANIV

Nice job Ralphone..........snacks are ok.........just no snacks after midnight for the next 5 days.

Ralphone

Ralphone

Ralphone

Day 3 lol so bad posting

Ralphone

OK sorry I fell off the wagon. I had peanut butter bites. We'll have rest to night

REDMANIV

Hang in there Ralphone....Doing good out this way. Been staying off the late night snacks...hang in there this weekend. You can do it.

Ralphone

OK did good no food last night. Day 1 no snacks

REDMANIV

Nice job Ralphone! When is your next weigh in? No snacks here last night after midnight either. Doing good in that department. Hang tough tonight.

Ralphone

I think I will weight in on this Friday. I will try and go 5 day with no snack. Day 1 no snack

ereck44

2 days in a row. No snacking. Tomorrow I go back to work. I have to figure out what "midnight" will constitute.

REDMANIV

Nice job on the no snacks after midnight. Still no snacks here after midnight. Ereck I reckon that would depend on when you normally get off of shift and when you normally go to bed. Whenever your bedtime is go plus 2 hours and no snacks after that time. So for me normal bedtime is around 10pm (yeah right) so i make midnight my cutoff to eat any snacks. When i am really on point i have no snacks once I have closed my log for the night.

Day 2 no snacks

Ralphone

Good job red keep it up 3 to go for me

REDMANIV
