    Good to see you kirstina-23! I already fell off the wagon once, but I've now made it thru 2 days and am going for 3 tonight. We can keep each other company on this challenge.:wink:
    I'm very happy to see how well everyone is doing. Good to see you wlhanisch. You're doing great again. :flowerforyou: Same for you Kathy and phatphanny.:flowerforyou:
    Hello to all the newcomers, too - you're also doing fabulously well! April is shaping up to be a terrific month for this challenge. I hope we hear from dewpearl at some point.
    Keep up the great work everyone. I feel like a mother hen - so proud of all of you. I'm so encouraged to stick with this. Thank you all.

    stopping eating by 4pm is a great plan if you can keep up your calories, and if you're not a habitual night time snacker like all of us here. It's not a great idea to jump right into something like that because you set yourself up for failure. I tried it, failed at least twice a week, and once I ate after 4pm, I went crazy cause I already screwed up, and went to eating everything in sight, 20 percent hungry, 80 percent disappointed in myself. I ended up gaining 12 pounds in the 2 months I tried it. Try it if you like, but I find gradually working my way down to that (I started with my cutoff at 10pm and last month, it was nine, and this month it is 8) and giving myself time to readjust my habits and my lifestyle, I have had waaaaay more success.

    Not to mention people like grammymax, plantlady, dewdrop, zaza and all of the new folks are amazing at holding themselves accountable and providing support, so when I'm opening the cupboard door at 9pm, I see them instead of snacks, and how disappointing it would be to have to tell them I fell off of the wagon and have to start over. :grumble: But good luck, and make the choice that is right for you.

    whoops I forgot:blushing:

    I am on night 3, I had a little wine incident. I had the calories, but not the time.

    Sounds like some of us are doing great though. I'm really proud of you guys and on one hand hope i can catch up, but on the other hand, hope you all keep doing well, and I stay behind:wink:


    Good luck for the day folks!!:bigsmile:

    Day 5. I am amazed I made it through the weekend without eating late. I did fight it off.

    5 day down... 25 to go.

    Last night was very hard because DH is going to be leaving in the mornings at 6am and not home until 10pm 7 days a week for the next 5 weeks. We watched some tv.... He thought he would opt for popcorn (air popped) instead of ice cream with extras. When he offered I looked at the clock and it was an hour past my cut-off so I declined. He asked me why I didn't want popcorn, he said he understood why I didn't want the ice cream a few nights back.
    I guess I never really took the challenges I am in on the site or the way it works. Maybe he will be a little better about tempting me with food.

    Kathy, I know you can do it!
    I made it thru Day 3. Today is my Day 4. Hope I don't forget again. We'll be out late since we're taking our son and his girlfriend to JFK for an 11:30 pm flight to Peru.
    Got keep moving - have a few errands to run before we head into NYC later today.
    Have a good day all.

    Well, even though I spent 6 hours in the ER with my baby boy, I still managed to stay snack free. We left right after supper so I had eaten. On the way home though, I found my self thinking "Taco Bell is still open". How bad is that. It isn't even a good choice. Then I looked at my little guy and drove straight home. After all of the "torture" he endured last night he won't leave my side this morning. It is like I gained all my missing weight onto my right leg. LOL. I feel bad that I won't be able to make my 12 year olds concerts today. One is at 1 and the other is at 7. Lars is to sick and contagious to be around a bunch of elementary kids or around all of the elderly adults that will be at the evening show. I would hate to pass this to someone else. Granted, Lars is sicker with this virus than others would be because he has asthma pretty bad.
    Anyway, 6 day down, 24 to go!!!

    Have fun in NYC and I hope your son and his girlfriend have fun in Peru. I will be pulling for you to keep the night snack-free.

    Just squeaked dinner in under the deadline. I hate eating dinner so late, but at least I didn't snack later :)
