    Oh gosh this couldn't have come at a better time! I am so guilty of this and I just keep doing it even though I tell myself every day NO MORE! So I think if I am a part of this, with a lot of other people doing it too, then we will ALL have a better chance at succeeding.

    So yes I know I am a few days late but I just found this thread and I'm starting TODAY! :D:flowerforyou:

    I'm with you Poptart!
    I'm a night owl so my cut off time is going to be 8:30pm this will also force me to get my workout in earlier!
    Great thread, keep it going! :drinker:

    I just wanted to say hi to the group, especially to dewdrop for keeping the challenge going. Amazing what you started so many months ago! Good luck to you all!

    Thanks for this, I don't usually, but last night I had a whopper of a MEAL at midnight!! I will set for 8pm, 9 on my late workout days (3 days a week). I'm so happy that I feel I'm doing this with others for a change and not by myself...I am in THIS house (two teenagers and a snacking husband!!)

    Another fail last night .

    AFter finding out ONE of my sons stole something from the place my OTHER son works, and as a result, they FIRED him, I am now officially the only income in a house of four people.

    So because I paced my house for an hour in SHOCK, I found myself drained and a little hungry - I drank water, but then needed a little bit of food. Not much mind you, about 6 saltines but still...

    ok after my total fail on monday I have been late night snack free!!! yes I know it is only WED but since I used to snack everynight after 8 this is a huge step!!! I do have to say when I see the clock say 8pm and it makes me a little sad cause I just want to eat some cheese and crackers.

    Yay two days down! I'm so glad. Keep trying guys. I recomend trying to go to bed earlier too if you can. Then you aren't up to eat LOL and you get up at a decent hour in the morning. I used to stay up till 3am almost every night cause I couldnt sleep, now I'm asleep by 10pm and if you stop eating earlier and then go to bed early it really helps.

    Me too - I will probably not be able to keep from eating after 8... I am working out til about 6:30, and by the time I get home and then get to the restaurant, it'll be 7:30, so I'm eating after 8pm. Plus the fact that it's gonna be somewhere HE likes to go (TGIFs for the jack daniels ribs:grumble: ).

    Day three and no snacking. Last night I had no time to eat dinner so just before 8 I had a quick snack. I didn't eat after 8, and sadly I had like 700 calories left to eat for the day. LOL oh well. We are in the middle of going through my parent's house for a garage sale this weekend and it took like 2 hours in one room when I got off of work last night and we are only half way done!!! Its crazy. Tonight will be the same so I"m going to make sure I eat as soon as I get off work so I don't make my body think I'm starving it :laugh:

    Welcome, popart, vegangirl and everyone else.

    jojogirl, don't get discouraged by the nasty comments :tongue: - it was a misread :wink: and sometimes irony is sort of self-critical. Right, grils? :wink:

    Okay, so TGIF's wasn't a total wash - we finished eating at about 8pm. Then last night, I finished in time to have a snack. YAY!

    Day 2. Pretty much all I've managed to do for the day, plus the evening walk. Not so bad, right? :huh:

    good job everyone!!

    I have made it 5 of the 6 days so far! So thats good, the only reason I had to eat late last night was because I didn't even get to my apartment till after 8pm.

    Keep it up.
