    I'll try this starting tonight. This is my BIGGEST problem, I also have wine when I snack at night, need to stop that too! Hope I can do this, I have no willpower at night. I do great all day and blow it from 8:30pm on so I will start then.

    Thanks for starting this challenge.

    I have the exact same weaknesses as voitdancer. Kicking the LNS habit is what I need to get off my plateau. This challenge is a great idea.

    dewdrop, thanks for keeping this challenge going. :flowerforyou: I hadn't been sticking with it so I was going to skip this month, but the scale keeps creeping upward. I need this challenge so I will try again.

    I am giving LNS all the days so far, but I intend to turn this around before the end of August!

    This is my biggest problem. I gained 10 pounds over the past 3 months because of this =( Time to take it back off! I'll start with this Monday, August 6, and set my cutoff time at 8:00pm. So far this week:

    I NEED this board. I am so inspired by reading everyone's story. I am new to MFP and am working really hard to loose some serious weight. I also have a tough time not eating a ton at night and destroying the day's progress. I am committing to log on this board for the rest of August.

    skinnyiverson, welcome! And remember that slow and steady wins the race! Just take it one day at a time.

    Zaza, so so happy to see you again! As always, you are honest in all aspects. Good luck to you, hope you can show these pounds who's the boss :wink:.

    Debilang, thank you :flowerforyou:. I love the support I have in you in terms of supporting others :wink:.

    Wayaluna, I am proud of you for how your dinner with Daniel went. You are doing awesome! and being over by just 70-80 cals is really nothing! As for the surgery, don't think about it until it's time. I know it's easier said then done, but enjoy the time till then and you'll enjoy the time after, too, since I am really confident that it will all go well. After all, a surgery is fixing things and medicine has made such progress these days that we can really be positive. Meanwhile, keep up the good work! :flowerforyou:.

    As for last night, I finally managed to have the last bites shortly after 8 :smile::
    Me: 3 - LNS: 1 (starting Aug. 6)

    Keep up the commitment, everyone! :flowerforyou:

    woo hoo!
    I'm getting there -
    this past 10 days i have 'give up' added, processed and artificial sugar for 2 weeks
    i tell you what binging on nuts fruit and veges is hard to
    and when i get the idea to make something 'naughty' that i can have i then get distracted looking up recipes on t'internet!
    oh and peppermint tea!

    i think this is working for me.

    Yesterday I wrote down a plan for me to use for the rest of the month--showing what I wanted to accomplish at the gym, when I might be out late and try to watch LNSing, etc...basically a road map for me to follow for August so that, to the best of my ability, I can follow the goals for the day that are already written down. Hopefully I'll take off 1 or 2 of the pounds I've gained back recently.

    This is my problem to. Everytime I woke up last night, I took a big sip of water and then gave it twenty minutes and it subsided so day one:

    There is nothing wrong with late night snacking, even if it's considered "junk food" if it's in your calories for the day you can eat it ! Simple as that ! If you have already eaten all of your calories for the day and you are still hungry then you are not eating enough all day..... losing weight does NOT require being hungry...... EVER

    After dinner, I started in on nachos and salsa. This challenge saved me. I said enough of this mindless snacking watching the Olympics and I went to my room before my 9:30 cut-off and didn't have anything else except seltzer.

    I am on holidays from August 11 - 18, 2012, and my BB doesn't permit me to post on forums - only to log in and log food/exercise.

    I don't plan on doing any LNS while on holidays. Late-night drinking, maybe, but no LNS.

    It is amazing what accountability and encouragement can do for a person. I consider LNS to be over eating rather than a math oops in figuring my calories for the day. I am so very glad you are all here! I arrived home late and hungry but still stuck to my food plan. I planned a snack into my evening and have limited myself to it and herbal tea :drinker: for the evening. This is working for me! at least for today. :love: YEAH! I'm going off to bed soon. :yawn:

    Wayaluna, I sooo feel the same way. I have done so much "mindless eating" in my life, it is *really* wonderful to stay accountable!! CONGRATS on your Victory, tonight. You have been through soo much, I am PROUD of your efforts, and your post! You have ENCOURAGED me tremendously...:heart::drinker: Deb :flowerforyou:

    I have a problem with going to bed and then getting the urge to have a snack, it's like i think what I eat after i go to bed doesn't count!

    veduffy, you made me laugh. You ,too, beeps. This is just what I need in the morning.

    You are all keeping me strong. Another night without late night snacking. Maybe I should move up my cut-off time because I still do a lot of damage after dinner but before 9:30. :grumble: I think it's a sickness - last night it was chocolate.
    At least I STOP because of this challenge so I'm holding steady on the weight for now.

    I definitely need to join I have a huge problem with late night snacking. I get late night munchies sooo badly! I always do good during the day but then at night I feel like I go crazy and can't control myself and stuff my face with food. Today will hopefully be my second day of not having any late night snacks!
