    The only reason I'm giving the point to me is because I had calories to catch up on!

    This is a wise thing to do! Unless you had chips :wink:.
    Thank you and gmukris for keeping this going. I admire you :flowerforyou:. And everyone else who's sticking with it!
    I often think of this challenge and even if I could not keep the cut-off strict, I did not binge or junk-ate at night. So not totally out of the game :wink:, just not able to do this right this time. Hope to be able to join you soon :smile:. Till then:

    keep this going! You're doing GREAT!

    I guess I give LNS a point last night even though it wasn't a snack--it was dinner out with friends after my cutoff time. I don't know if it counts against me or not?

    It is July 13...and starting again from today. I dropped out of June's challenge for different reasons. I had a sad day today, having to put my granddog to sleep. He developed stomach tumors that grew rapidly to the point of giving him relief by putting him down. He gave us a great six years with him...and he will always be in our hearts. I did not have a real appetite today...but LNS is something I am re-determining to do. I haven't gained wait, but haven't lost either...and I would like to lose another five. If I didn't LNS...I would reach my goal. This group is good commitment for me. Thanks for all of you being here! :flowerforyou:

    July 13 - Me - 1 LNS - 0

    Day 14. I found yesterday soooooo tough. I'm not sure why, I think just because it was Friday and also because we had friends over for dinner so didn't eat till nearly 9pm, I didn't manage to not snack at all, in fact I ate loads, 2 apples, a kiwi and 2 high cal bit nutritious seed bars and guzzled diet cherry coke. However at dinner I ate a decent portion and whilst they all had a hot brownie pud and icecream I had natural yogurt with berries and 2 meringues (the most sugar I've had in 2 weeks).

    I did however not LNS so the score is a happy

    LNS 12.5
    Me. 0.5

    Just 5 days till sunny Kenya :bigsmile:

    Debilang, my heart goes out to you. I know how sad it is to lose a beloved pet. X x:flowerforyou:

    Starting Day 15 today.

    I did snack yesterday but with regards to LNS last night I was a good girl. Just yummy lentil soup, a slice of bread and Greek yogurt with berries for dinner, then just peppermint tea in the evening.


    LNS 13.5
    Me 0.5

    Snacking in general ? I've lost count, maybe 2 days this month. Fridays and Saturdays are the toughest


    Back to no snacks again from today. 4 days till hols so it all counts now.

    Well done everyone, people are doing so well :drinker:

    Late snacking is my biggggest problem. I can be good alll day, and even excercise. And then those cravings for snacking just take over and then I turn into a monster, and sabotage the whole day. After reading your post and some of the other members, I vow not to snack tonight and join you with no eating after 7pm. I will start a count too, of how many "no snacking" evenings I can complete.

    So far so good.

    I am exactilly the same, how has it been?

    We had a party on Friday night and I was still munching on potato chips at 11:00 pm....ugh.

    That's as high an LNS as I've had, mid-month, in SEVERAL MONTHS. So, I really want to taper this down for the remainder of July. Enough is enough. Bad carbs begone!!

    Day 17 on July's LNS

    LNS. 0.5. (bloody hell thats good)

    Me. 15.5

    I also am trying to quit snacking as even though they are healthy ones, i tend to eat them just or the sake of it. I am on nights again at the moment and I am doing really well. I eat a light dinner around half 6, then hold out till around 3am where I eat my first part of breakfast, a banana, then a porridge around 5am then a couple of bits of toast at 9 before bed.Ideally I wouldn't be awake during lunch but th e phone man came ths afternoon so I only slept for a couple of hours. Off to bed now again to see if I can cram in some more sleep. 2 days till holidays and lovely warm sun, yay :drinker:

    Well done everyone.ths group is keeping me strong :wink:
