    I'm trying to figure out how to respond on the board. It's been a LONG time since I joined one.

    Megan, have you ever used peanut butter powder, PB2? Great taste with far fewer calories.

    @PatriciaNeves2015 Just wondering what type of scale you bought, I desperately need a new one.

    I’m in. I would be thrilled to lose 15lbs. My biggest downfall is late night eating. I’m a night owl and have trouble sleeping. So I spend late night snacking and watching TV. I know this has got to some. Any helpful suggestions?

    Have you tried going to bed early with a hot milky drink and a good book?

    ...I sound like my mum.

    @PatriciaNeves2015 - awesome work on a 1.5 loss :) you are doing great!
    I have tried PB 2 but it doesnt really give me what I need. I used to mix PB2 in greek yogurt, but I want a protein powder for a sweet tooth kick when needed/or dessert when I really want one but have no calories lol. I ordered the IOS Yummy Sports one :)

    @aimjolie try snacking on things like-plain/salted popcorn, broccoli and carrots. You get a low for your calories and it gives you the crunch. Try and save yourself say 150-200 calories every day for night snacks if its your weakness. Greek yogurt/blue berries if you are more of a sweets person, or dark chocolate - 75 % or better. I dont really have any tips on the sleep. I use the app headspace and listen to a sleep noise cast and I am out in a few minutes now vs hours.

    Today's check in.
    Not much to report- finally got a new scale and like it. Tracks trends like happy scale so it will be nice to not double log. Staying in calorie goal today. I am back to working a lot of hours -70 ish a week as I am starting to get my feet wet in consulting as well as my regular 8-4 gig. Meal prep/pre logging is really helping me stay on track.

    I am in. Hi all.

    Been a good girl with my 30-min aerobic a day. Calorie goal has been good since i downloaded this app. Got back to work few days ago and i am on my feet at work, so it looks promising as long as i dont break down and snack.

    Pre-logging is great. I just have to remember to do it more often😀

    Welcome to the group! I also used to snack at night. Maybe you can try to keep low calorie snacks in a drawer or container in the refrigerator so that would be your go to snacks at night. Perhaps, crunchy vegetables with hummus, popcorn etc. you will do great! 😊

    Hey all
    I’m trending down .4 of a pound a week,1.6 pounds lost in may . I’m happy with that. If I keep on this way I will have lost nearer 5 pounds rather than 10 by the end of June. I’ll be happy with any loss though. Im135 pounds and it’s usually this pint where I say eff it I can’t be bothered. Not this time though

    Happy Friday everyone!

    I had a glass a wine last night for the first time in 35 days. It was great! I told my husband that my plan was to have only one glass so he put away the bottle after he served me. The issue with me is that I overeat when I drink alcohol. I went over my calories after having wine but did not have carbs. My daughters had brought cookies home and I did not have any. That is a huge win for me. Once I have a cookie, I can’t stop. Have a wonderful weekend everyone! 😊
