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 need this...not just for weight loss but also my digestive issues! I will aim to have no food after 7:30 p.m., as I am usually in bed by 10:30 p.m.
A bit about me:
41 years old, female, 5 ft 3, 142 lbs, goal is to be 122 lbs by Halloween at the latest so I can go back to wearing cute costumes again!4 -
I did this a few years ago and it was so helpful. Then I fell off the MFP wagon and gained a bunch of weight, so I'm hoping it will help again, because right now the late night snacking is out of control! Fingers crossed!3

I'm in. I need this in a huge way. I'm a night owl and a late night oinker. My goal is to stop eating after 8:30.2
