Hi-
I'm home from NYC and hoping to get myself back on track. Any disruptions to daily life are just an excuse for throwing mfp out the window. Have to find a way to work on that. For now,
Me: 5
LNS: 4
This challenge keeps saving me so I will stick w/it. Hope you all do too!! We have some great veterans in this group - inspiring.

WOW! this is harder than I thought. Now I realize how much I want to eat at night.
I just started so I will wait the next few days and see how I do.
One question, does hot chocolate count as a snack at night?

Couldn't pull it to my side tonight. 1/2 a wrap is not a very filling dinner for me...One question, does hot chocolate count as a snack at night?0 -

Was helped by the fact that I was out at a Jaguar Skills gig and was too busy dancing to think about snacking :happy: I'm going to a friends house party tonight though where I'm sure there will be snacks galore! going to try and resist them after 9pm!0 -

Hey all I managed to resist the snacks at the house party, but I picked up a packet of snack a jacks on the way home. Doh! Not as bad as my usual snacking habits but i am trying to kick the LNS :blushing:

I'm giving this one to me even though I stopped eating at 10 instead of 9:30 on my late night. We didn't eat dinner til 8:30 and were out with friends. But even though I still wanted more, on the way home, we didn't stop, I didn't eat when I got home, and didn't get to bed until after midnight, and we did a little stroll after dinner (in the cold). So, still going strong.0 -
Great idea
My prob is that on some nights I have my eve meal really early then run or do a class or both getting home about 9.45pm ie too late for a meal which is why I eat before. However, since I have usually run for about an hour and done a class I can't get home and eat nothing! So I have to have a lns. I guess on those nights I could say only fruit allowed if I am to win..
What do others think or is that cheating?0 -

Not doing too well this week. Had friends over last night and we had drinks and popcorn.
So much for no last night snack.
Maybe next week will be better0 -
Thanks for the article! (See below) I can do this too, and If I do snack it will be fruit.
"Just an added 300 calories in the evening after dinner while watching TV — when you're not even hungry — will pack on 30 pounds in one year," cautions Katherine Tallmadge, another spokeswoman for the the American Dietetic Association. But the reverse is true as well — cut out that evening snack altogether and you might lose 30 pounds in one year. Change it to fruit and lose 20 pounds in a year. "It's the small, easy changes you make in eating that have the most dramatic and lasting effects,"0 -

Well, I had been determined that I was just going to lose the point last night and was going to eat my left over cheeseburger when I got home. Fortunately, we got stuck in some weird traffic, which gave me time to think about whether or not I really wanted it and would it still be there tomorrow. So I got home, didn't even go in the kitchen, and went to bed. Guess what? The cheeseburger is still there and will now make an ice lunch that I can burn off. Woohoo!!!!
Thank you guys for the accountability!0 -
Went for cocktails with a friend on saturday night and she instisted on getting something to nibble when we got home :grumble: Last night though I managed to resist the urge

Hoping I can make it to the end of this week with no LNS! :drinker:0 -

You are still ahead of the game. Great job on your success last night and not letting one late night mess you up.0 -

No, not at all. You could have anything you choose to, as long as that is it. Be reasonable.
kkmayes, thank you for that quotation! We should begin next month's challenge with it.
Lorna, as usual, inspiring. :flowerforyou:
Steph, you are doing well too :flowerforyou: - keep up the good work.
emily, step by step. Sticking to it is the key to success. I can't even remember how long ago I started this challenge. Make a guess as to why I am still in it. OK, I'll make it easier for you: read my next post. :blushing:0 -
It turns out that dinner has become my main meal... Sadly enough, but I don't have time during the day to prepare and eat a proper meal. Plus, I can only start eating around my cut-off. I will not up my cut-off time, because I want to keep in mind that whenever possible I should eat before 9 p.m. I don't want to make eating late a habit.
Meanwhile, I have lost a few points and earned one, so it's:

Sorry for being MIA but last week was a bad week for me. I'll be around more this week. Have a Great Week!0
