    This is a great topic for me. My main reason for doing MF Pal is to get my terrible diet under control. My biggest downfall is late night snacking. I do well with eating all day and exercise at the YMCA 5-6 times per week. But when I get home from the gym it's Fruit loops, Ghirardelli's, Kozy Shack.....
    Normally I'm up till midnight snacking, so I'm starting with a modest goal of no snacking after 10:00 PM.

    You can do this *almacdee*. Looks like you and I are in the same boat. I have been what I now know as *skinny fat* all my life. I've been with MFP now for 200 days. I've gone the gamut of almost reaching my weight goal (and now I am TOTALLY UNDER)...going for my high school weight, with the intention of losing body fat that I've carried around since my first child was born 40 years ago. I just became a grandma two years ago...had a heart attack 3 years ago...something I was MOST surprised about...and did a LOT of LATE NIGHT SNACKING!! I found this group in late June...did well for a few days..went on vacation...and just threw my cares to the wind. I want to be healthy and see my grandchildren graduate from COLLEGE!! My only claim to having good genes is my Auntie who is now 89 years old. I want to live into my 90's...be strong of mind, body, and spirit...soooo it is STILL not too late to START. I not letting a small heart attack happen again! Wow...long winded...but...you are doing it right...with your modest goal. GOOD LUCK! We all have our reasons for joining MFP. Add me as a friend if you would like. SUPPORT is CRUCIAL...:drinker: Lifting my glass of water. I have also set drinking 8 glasses of water a day to my regime....I see that it is making a difference already...though I know I am supposed to do this already :) Take care!!!! :flowerforyou:

    Well I give myself 1 point for the past 2 nights. I have decided my problem. I eat in my bed. I eat lunch in my bed. I eat breakfast and supper in my bed. I am depressed so I spend a lot of time in my bed. I am doing better but the eating has stuck. I crochet and knit and I do those in my bed. I have got to migrate meals to my kitchen and hobbies to my couch. Sleep to my bed. Maybe soon I can start having me 1 and LNS 0

    Thanks for encouragement guys

    The weekend away was super-busy, but also meant I wasn't late-night snacking and just hopped into bed, dead-tired, at the end of each day!

    A huge whopping +3 for LNS... cookies and ice-cream temptations in the house are too much... for me.

    Wishing that everyone stays STRONG! I *do* feel great not having LNS'd since the 13th of July. I lost 1 pound at least! Yay! :drinker:

    TOTALS: Me - 14 LNS - 0 I am AMAZED that I have had the will power to NOT LNS. I have eaten what I wanted during the day (in moderation)...and have been able to maintain my weight and not GAIN. However, NOW I need to get going on my way down to Weight Goal. I've found exercise to help me to strengthen and define...Feelin' Grreat! Just want to say "HEY" to everyone here...and taking the time to post...gives us the awareness about what we should be doing. It has helped ME. Sooo THX for this forum :flowerforyou: :drinker:
