Well, here is to another week.
For anyone that wants to join, please do. Set a cutoff time (may vary from night to night) for all of you who may find you have the bored late night munchies. Many might pick the two-hour window before bedtime. Post and encourage us, letting us know where your weaknesses are and what tricks you have to succeed. See you on the boards.

Heyy Lula! I am still here, haven't eaten past 7 in 2 weeks! Yay! I will try 2 check in everyday.. BUt I am always lurking...0

7:00 is my cut off for "whatever foods" after that I can only have raw veggies to curb any hunger. After that, 9:00 is a complete cut-off. Only water or tea (if I need something hot) after that.
Hope we can all make it!0 -

I love your reasonableness for your goals. It makes perfect sense.0 -
For me, my cutoff for this week is going to be 7:30 until date night on Friday night with hubby. Then just peppermint tea. Problem for me is I am so sick to my stomach today, I have hardly been able to eat. Might just have to chalk this day up and start fresh tomorrow as far as getting in my calories. Made sure not to exercise though so I didn't hurt myself.
Thank you ALL for posting. It helps me out.0 -
Lulabelle, I hope you feel better soon.
This week my cutoff will be 7:30pm also. Last night, I was successful with my cutoff to a point, but I was out with friends and ate Sushi and drank wine. I don't think I really over did it, but I did not even attempt to log it in. Good luck to all this week!0 -
My goal is 8pm.0

Totally blew it last night. Ice cream got me. No self-control. Felt like YUCK going to bed last night and cranky. Learned my lesson. That's my one mistake for the week. Bad way to start the week, but good reminder of why I need to stick to a cutoff. I know I'll do better tonight.
Hope you all had a successful evening0 -
Hi everyone...I'm here. I have adjusted my weight to be more honest. It has only been 2 weeks for me, so I am still ok. Don't want to lose too fast again. Have a great day!!0

I want in. I will not snack after 6300

Well, I posted my cutoff for the week earlier this morning (it's now 630pm for me) BEFORE I was told that my command wanted to go out to eat. Of course, that means that we would not be eating until 8pm. So, I will shoot for cut-off tomorrow.
To be on the safe side, I went to the gym before getting ready, at least.0 -
We all make need to make adjustments for unexpected things. Sometimes, my hubby doesn't come home until later than the cutoff, so I have to revamp my time. Enjoy yourself. There are exceptions to every rule.0

Still going strong not eating after 7... Last night it was 6:15 by the time I got home, I was running around like a madd woman! The hamburg couldn't cook fast enough, the water for the pasta wouldn't boil fast enough, But I ate at 6:50 ish... So I made it!0

Ahh, okayyy.. lol!
The only times I wont be around is when I'm not near a cpu.. I use works computer for now til I save enough to buy my own computer...0 -
I am going to join you all and set a time for myself-8pm. My biggest challenge is definitely after dinner. I can be totally full, but feel like I need or deserve a dessert. I know this is tied to my emotions, not hunger. So, tonight, I will have maybe a low cal dessert, and if I'm tempted to have seconds....I will run to my computer and get on this message board. I promise myself!0

Can I join? This has become my biggest struggle. My husband is often gone for work, so I spend all my week-nights alone and as soon as the kids are in bed and the loneliness hits...out come the BBQ chips. It's terrible, and I am racked with guilt over it. But get this, looking at my food diary, I have noticed that I have actually started eating less at dinner so I have calories left so I CAN munch at night. Sick, I know. I can't believe I just admitted that.
So here I go. 7 pm is my cut-off time. I am going to eat all my calories before 7 pm so I don't have a choice.0 -
Hi sdgreen17, Everything we do is a learning process, which I am still trying to learn every day. I am learning that you can eat the same amount of calories, whether it be bad or good for your body. It just depends on how you want to feel as a result. It is really hard for me to eat absolutely nothing after dinner. I 'phsycologically' need a snack. Whether it be a grapefruit, yogurt treat or even cereal, I can still make a good choice. I really use this sight as a 'eat healthy snack' instead of no snack. That's what works best for me.0

Well, I stuck to my cutoff last night by 7:30. Technically, I didn't eat anything after 3 p.m., but had all my calories and exercise in. Wasn't hungry either. But remember I woke up and started work at 2:30 a.m., so my day ends a little earlier than most.
Tonight with hubby and kids will be the challenge, but we have a bible meeting at 7:30, so no eating from that point onward. Even trying to get my daughter to stop "late junk night snacking" (maybe that's what we should call this thread instead Bebe?) But she has been loving the peppermint tea with me.
Welcome Ten10, sdgreen17, kookla33. We are thrilled to have your encouragement and support.
Nikki, I have those moments. Just the smell of cooking food drives me crazy when I'm hungry. Great job on reaching your goal.
Teetee, how did your dinner go last night? Hope you had some fun for all of us.
Hope you all have a wonderful day!0 -
I have been doing horrible! At least I feel like I am. I was successful last night. Sadly it was because I feel asleep with one of the kids and as I was about to go eat, the youngest woke up so I layed down with him and guess what.... not only did he fall back to sleep, but I did too (until 4:00am).0

Good morning everyone, I'm proud of you all for sticking to your goals!
I stuck to my cut-off time of 7 pm, but fell asleep hungry and then slept like crap. Woke up at 2:30am feeling kinda shaky, but I take a beta blocker (propranolol) and a seizure med (topamax) both for daily migraine preventation and I know the side effects can affect my blood sugar.
I'm thinking Bebe had a good idea, allowing for a small healthy snack before bedtime. And I HAVE to stop watching Food Network at night. SERIOUSLY!!!
This gets easier....right?0
