Replies

So it seemslike forever since I have posted. Having a very busy month. I've been doing great all month, but I haven't been counting. April and May are big months for volunteer work for my family so we have gotten home late a lot. Not to mention work of course. I'm glad to see tha0

oops. What I meant to say, was I'm glad everyone is doing well. I'm off to bed. Have a great Monday!!

Hello....remember me? I'm back and in need of my fitness pals. After several days of mini-vacation in NYC, we came home and then decided spur-of-the-moment to visit my parents in Fla. My mom had had a cold and was in need of TLC. She perked up as soon as we got there. We were out to dinner every night except one (doing our part to help the economy!) Needless to say, I've blown the month of April big time.
I am thrilled though to see that grammymax and phatphanny have excelled at the April challenge. Making it well into the 20s is extrememly impressive and motivating. What a shining example for the rest of us - you are very inspiring. :flowerforyou: I'm already looking forward to May so I can give you a run for your money!
Now that I'm home finally, I'd like to get back into a sensible and healthier routine (my mom keeps multiple boxes of chocolates in her kitchen, right next to the potato chips :grumble: ).
I just read the posts from the past couple days, trying to catch up and I did want to say hi to Sherry and that I hope your mom is doing OK. My thoughts and prayers are with you, too. I can't imagine anything much more stressful.
Take care everyone and I'll try to check in more regularly now. Dewdrop, was good to see you. Same with you Wanda and kerimcdonald.

Hello, "walking in with my head down" . I have to start all over. I just got all out of control with my time with weekend.
So many are doing great. Way to go.

26 down!
Zaza & Kathy - pick your heads up and walk tall. May is coming quickly so the rest of this week is practice for next month?!
You ladies are my inspriation to NOT eat after my cutoff time. Although, I didn't eat the right foods yesterday :grumble: I didn't eat past my cutoff time :happy:
Have a great Monday.

Count me in .
Zaza, I knew you'd have a word for me - glad you're back and still in the competition :flowerforyou: .0 -
Good morning.
dewdrop, will you be around for the challenge in May or still traveling?
Thank goodness it's not May yet - I still need practice. I really thought I was going to stick to my cut-off time last night and then the aroma of my husband's baking reached the bedroom. I finally couldn't take it anymore and went downstairs and ate some of his sweet cornbread (wasn't even that good:grumble:).
But, I haven't given up - I just need to get back into the routine. Thinking of all of you used to stop me in my tracks. I've obviously been away from mfp too long.:embarassed: That is going to change right now.
So, have a great day everyone and will check back later.
Zaza0 -
Good Morning.
Thx Gram. I needed that positive nudge. I did not eat last night. Yea.

I'll start with you and see how it goes .0 -
27 down. Better eating is going to be my goal for May as well as not eating late. I can do the cutoff but I have fallen to eating some 'junk' and staying within the calories but still.....I don't need the junk!
Have a great evening.

Way to go Esther!!!:drinker: I am so proud of you and inspired by you. Tonight, even tho it's almost the end of the April challenge, I am going to stop snacking by my new 9:00 cut-off time.
On April 30th, everyone please post your highest number of consecutive nights without late night snacking so we can determine the winner(s) for April. Will be hard to beat Esther, but I think phatphanny might be tied for the lead. I'm not sure so hang in there everyone for these last 2 days and let's see on Thurs who gets the title for April.
Zaza0 -
Thanks Zaza. I'm off to get my last snack - or maybe just some hot water. Not really hungry. Anyway, it's only 7:30 here so I have 1 1/2 hour until my cutoff time.
HAve a great evening.

i had a late dinner monday night while i was out of town. i made it 17 days in a row before that- which i consider a big success for my first month of attempt!!

28 down. I did go back for that snack but well within my cutoff time.
Have a great day,
Esther0 -
My first day back in the team and I haven't eaten past 8 p.m. :drinker:
I'd like to try 7p.m., but official cut-off is 8 p.m.0 -

Sherry,
I am SO sorry. That is such sad news. My heart goes out to you. I'll be thinking of you, particularly tomorrow, and sending you prayers of support.
Zaza0 -
Sherry...I am so sorry to hear of your loss...my prayers go out to you and your family. Lorena0

Sherry - sorry to hear of your loss. It is such a hard time. You'll be in my prayers and thoughts. Remember to take care of you through this.
30 days down. I did it! :laugh: If anyone told me I would make it 30 days without eating past my cutoff time I would not have believed it. Thanks Zaza for inspiring us to take on the challenge.
Esther0 -
Good morning-
April has ended and it's time to learn who won this month's challenge. Grammymax (aka Esther) is the one to beat with 30 days. What an accomplishment !!!!:drinker:
I believe Phatphanny had been tied w/Esther at one point. Please let us know today if you or anyone else tied w/Esther so we can make it official. We want to recognize everyone's incredible efforts.
For those of us who still need help in this area, I am starting a new thread for May. Please look for that and check back here as well for the official April winner announcement.
Zaza0 -
Sherry. (((((((BIG HUGS)))))). This is a tough time for you.
Kathy0 -
Made it another month..congrats Grammymax for making me tow the line this month...I knew you were going to fly to the end of the month..lol...thanks zaza for a wonderful challenge. It has been most uplifting and although tough at times this challenge has helped motivate me to be accountable for my eating habits..One day down...0

It appears that Phatfanny also made it thru 30 days.
So double congratulations to Grammymax (Esther) and Phatfanny, the two April winners with 30 consecutive days of no late night snacking!!!!:drinker:drinker:
Hooray for you two!!! :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:
What an accomplishment. You are a tremendous inspiration to the rest of us. Hope you will keep us going during the May challenge.
