SAY "NO" TO LATE NIGHT SNACKING -- FEBRUARY 2018 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've been competing in this challenge for about a year and it has really helped my focus and restraint when it comes to evening snacking.
I now need to get back on track with sugary snacks during the day. So I am aiming high....No late night snacks at all, nothing after 7.30pm, and more than 10 days without any sugary snacks at all!8 -

I am posting this here because I want to thank the person who thought up this group. Although I still LNS, it is much less often and I stop sooner than I used to. After my weigh-in today, I realized I passed the halfway point on the journey to my weight loss goal. I also saw a number on the scales I haven't seen in over 20 years. I've lost 58 pounds, or as a former Weight Watcher leader would say, that's 232 sticks of butter gone. Hurrah for me and for all of us!11

I am in.... I try not to snack at night, but sometimes I am just so hungry I can't sleep.... I still need to loose about 15 more pounds. Over the last 5 years I have lost about 65 pounds. I have not been this low in weight in 45 years, I am looking forward to my goal~ I hope to make it by summer!7

Had a stressful week at work so I used biscuits to make me feel better. If there weren't any biscuits I used dried fruit. Not a good start to the month. I need to do better!3 -
