Ready to kill the bad habbit on munching till late at night and doubling your calories by doing so? Then pick dinner or the last (planned) snack of the day as a cut-off and put no more calories in your mouth past that time. After you've commited to a cut-off time, update us here on your progress.

To keep the score, we've used so far the format: Me <your number> vs LNS <Late night snacks' number>
So for instance after 5 days of success and 2 failures, you would write: Me: 5 - LNS: 2

Let's do better in 2012 then we did so far! :wink: Good luck, ladies! You can do it!!!

    Good Luck!

    I was going to read the other topic when I created this, but I was short of time and judging by its name I figured that the other topic was for fixing the cut-off time. Since I don't know of a way to unify the topics and since we'll be doing the challenge monthly, I suggest that we keep it here this month.

    Happy New Year everyone!!

    Thanks dewdrop for the new challenge. :flowerforyou:

    I didn't get off to a good start because we hosted a surprise 50th birthday party here last night. So, tonight will be my fresh start. I intend to have the highest number of nights without late night snacking so I challenge you all to try and beat me. :laugh: A little friendly competition is a win-win for everyone!

    lulabellewoow, I like your ticker. I need to change mine since Christmas has passed.

    Once again, happy new year to all - best wishes for a happy and healthy 2012!

    Zaza, I'll meet that challenge.

    Thanks on the ticker. Hubby and I are going to San Francisco for four kid-free days in two weeks so it's my inspiration. He wants us to run the hills, that silly man. I told him I promise to "fast walk".

    Stay focused, everyone, and don't get discouraged - it's still holidays' season.
    The most important thing is how we finish this, not how we start it :wink:

    So glad to have so many of you in this :flowerforyou:

    I must admit, this is getting easier...and that was the "mental" place I wanted to get to. Instead of spending my evenings thinking, "don't eat, don't eat, don't eat", they are starting to just "be" and then at bedtime I'm kind of like, "hey, I didn't eat!"

    Yeah, here's for "not tonight" :drinker:. Don't beat yourself up for last night, that's in the past now :wink:.

    Beeps, wonderful progress - in the mental attitude :flowerforyou:. Share your tips and tricks with us, will you? :wink:

    I'm giving this to me even though I didn't finish eating until 10 p.m. because of sickness in the household dinner was late. But I only ate the chicken and vegetables and did not go for the pie or the ice cream afterwards, so I consider that a success. :drinker:
