    Me 5/Snacks 1

    Loveme - WOW, that is an awesome weight loss. But I hope you are feeling better.

    Zaza - We all have those times when it is just hard to get in a routine. But we are here for you. You can do this tonight and Friday. We'll worry about Saturday when it gets here.

    Glenjen - Welcome. We can always use the support.

    Betterchoices - Keep doing good.

    Rosemary - I know you are limited on computer. Just wanted to say we miss you and can't wait to hear your update.

    Hiya Dew :drinker: Hope your world is growing along. :happy:

    Me :4 - Snacks: 2

    1 for me and 1 for them, to be even. Well, I'm still leading :wink: (silly to have such a positive attitude when you lose points, right?)

    Stay on track, ladies! You can do it, you've proven so many times that you can!

    I lost the battle tonight. :grumble: Went out to eat with my family to celebrate my baby boy's 1st B Day. :smile: I didnt order all the things I would have normally ordered and I only had water so I dont feel too bad.

    Having a little gathering tomorrow for him with my extended family. Hope I eat ok....I'll keep you ladies posted.

    Well, got home later than expected so ate later than expected, but I'm still giving it to myself because I made very healthy choices, no junk, and didn't even finish my whole dinner.

    So ME 6/ snacks 1

    I'll make last night one of my 9 p.m. nights and tonight probably. Tomorrow is a party, but it starts at 5, so I'm going to try and keep it under control by stopping by 7:30 and just dancing the night away :)

    This is SO hard, which is why it's SO necessary. My score is only worsening. I used to be better at this.:grumble:
    Me: 2
    Snacks: 5
    I exercised later than usual and was so hungry and I gave in. Ugh!!!
    I'll keep trying. I have to think of you all sticking to this challenge and get motivated!
    Have a good week-end.

    No late night snacking. Set a goal for yourself (mine is no food after 8pm, 8:30 on Friday and Saturday night, since I'm up a little later), and then stick with it. Check in as often as you can, like everyone else.

    Zaza... Maybe you can make your cut-off time a little later (like, 1/2 hour or something) so that you won't be so discouraged. Even stopping eating just an hour or 2 before bed, is still better than eating and crashing.

    ME 7/snacks 1

    Well, I was definitely done by 7:30. Actually I was done by 2 p.m., but had eaten ALL my calories and then some, so I went and did an aerobics class, came home by 7:30 exhausted and went straight to bed. Tonight is the party. Going to try to cut off by 7:30, but will allow myself til 9 as my second late night in the week.

    Zaza - don't beat yourself up. I agree with Steph. Change your time and then gradually back down in increments of 15 minutes if you need to. You have already been successful at this in the past. You can do it again!

    These past couple of days have been HORRIBLE!!! I went WAY over my calories 3 days in a row and I only exercised 1 day this week cause Ive been sick. I hope I dont gain too much weight back next week. I have to think positive and start fresh tomorrow.

    Will try harder tonight.
    loveme445, hang in there! You are aware of it, that's very good! Better then when you did not care for the calories. Don't worry about the possible gain, sometimes it's just water weight and will go off as soon as you get back on track. Late night snacking will do the job for you :wink:, as long as you stick to it :wink:. Good luck!

    Thank you for the encouraging words Dewdrop!

    Today was a good day! I was determined to make up for my exercise this week and met my weekly goal. So this morning I went for a walk with the family for 1 hour and 40 mins. This evening me and my husband went for a bike ride for 1 hr and 45 mins. Then I logged my exercise and noticed I was short by 5 mins and 54 cals. So I got on my ellipitical for 10 mins and burned 109 cals. Now, I need to burn those extra cals I consumed those 3 HORRIBLE days before I weigh in Wed. So, I plan on working out like CRAZY on Monday and Tuesday to burn off those cals.

    Yes, I am counting tonight because I already ate dinner and I am CONFIDENT that I will not be eating anything else tonight.

    Good Luck to Everyone this Week!

    ME 7/snacks 3

    Well, I lost big time this weekend. Even with the alarm going off, I said, "who cares". But today is a new day with new resolve. Sometimes Mondays aren't a bad thing...
