    dewpearl, I have a later cut off for special occasions. If I'm eating later, I save the calories for later and then I don't snack when I get home.
    For me, the point of not snacking late is to avoid excessive calories, i.e. going beyond my allowed 1200 calories. Hope that perspective helps. You have to be realistic. So, I don't think you should go back to 0 unless you snack later tonight.

    Dewpearl,
    I agree with Zaza. I think your glass of wine was ok and shouldn't set you back to day one. :drinker: You were very close to your cut off time. It wasn't a lot of calories and you were under for the day. Plus your next drink was tea. I think fudging the time by a few minutes isn't a big deal unless you gorge yourself or something like that.


    For me, tonight will be night 4. I am so excited. Last night I went out and had drinks and sushi, but I was even home by 10:00pm. I am so proud that I was able to resist. The sushi added up to 180 calories, the drinks.... well they added up to a few more than the sushi, but I still stayed within my caloric intake for the day.
    Then as soon as I got home the baby woke up bright eyed and bushy tailed so I was up until 4am with him. Then up again at 6:30 for the rest of the family..... I swear I haven't slept in three years. LOL:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

    OK, thanks for your support. I did not put anything into my mouth after coming home last night. Will try to make it up today by setting the cut off at, say, 8 p.m. :smile:

    So I'm up for the 2nd day :smile:

    Day 2 successfully completed. When it gets hard, I remember Kristine "this is too hard, I'm going to bed" :happy: . It's nice to know I'm not alone struggling. So... up for day 3 :drinker:

    Wow, You are doing awesome too. So many people are doing AWESOME on this challenge!!!!!
    I hope I become strong enough to keep going...
    I have made it through night 4 and I am onto night 5 tonight..... I am dreading Thursday (Turkey Day). I know I will have food surrounding me until who knows what time.... I might have to stay awake all night just so I can hit my 3 hours before bedtime cut-off. LOL :tongue:

    gmukris,
    How much have you lost since you started this challenge??
    Just curious.

    One pound, but I have very little left to lose, so it's gotten really slow! This challenge really has just helped me stay within my calories. If I eat late, it's calories I don't have!!!! :ohwell: I think this challenge is just keeping me honest and on track.

    Hungry as a wolf in the harshest winter :bigsmile: , but I'm holding with my teeth do Day number 3. :wink:
    Can't fail now, after giving in and counting Sat as Day 1 again, can I? :smile:

    Hop on :wink: . Nice to have you here. As you see, I am not that much ahead, so it's never too late (now I gotta watch out so that you don't get ahead of me like everyone else seems to do, heh :ohwell: )

    So, welcome :flowerforyou: and good luck!

    hm, lost track of how many days straight I've been able to keep it up....but I think this is the 6 or 7th day? I'll have to scroll back and take a peek...

    Either way this thread helps to keep in mind to end meals/snacks early in the evening...water I drink whenever I like...

    How's everyone else been doing?

    tee hee Purdy Mommy? I just glanced down as I was typing this and giggled when I saw you mentioned you woke up at Midnight and ate a bite of dirt cake. Maybe it being nearly 3 am that makes that funny?:laugh:

    Sometimes it's quite amusing what we take a bite of in the middle of the night....:drinker:

    YAY for everyone working on changing old habits!:flowerforyou: :heart: :flowerforyou:

    Guess what.... I had to stay up all night.... I think I have to go back to day one.
    My friend and I went Black Friday shopping very last minute style.... Talked at 9pm about looking at ads and then shopping at 4am..... However while looking at the ads we decided to start at midnight, so we made our list and left my house at 11:30 last night..... We got home at 10 this morning.... We had a blast... It is so nice when you can laugh the whole time you are shopping. Even when people are jumping line, cutting you off, or just being plain rude.... There was a man that urinated on the retaining wall of the store because he couldn't wait and was to scared to get out of line.... What a goofball.
    I guess this world IS made up of all kinds. LMAO!!!!!

    I told my hubby quite a few good stories and made him laugh before he went to work this morning.

    I am smiling.. even though I need to go back to day one.
