Nikki - awesome job. You don't even need us, but we sure need you, so keep posting as we need the encouragement.

sdgreen17 - Whenever my hubby brings home junk (because I to tend to want to eat junk after an argument), I throw it in the bottom of the trash can. If it is something I really want and might dig out, I crush it and put water on them. Desperate times call for desperate measures. If you stayed in your calories, you still did good. A lot of time with my late night eating, I start and can't stop and go over.

For me last night, it was a half success. Dinner didn't get put on the table until 6:50, but I was finished by 7 (didn't even get heartburn). Of course, I'm the one not eating late, and who gets called to get everyone else dessert? Yup, good old mom. So as I was making the ice cream floats, I took 3 bites of ice cream. But that was it, which is a HUGE accomplishment for me because I usually am unable to exhibit self-control with ice cream. One of the things that helped me is that I am finally starting to lose weight and I have to keep reminding myself not to self-sabotage it like I usually do. Even had to plan out my calories last night for "date night" tonight to make sure I evened things out throughout the day.

We are doing it ladies. Keep it going. Cut off time tonight is 9 p.m. because of "date" :blushing:

Have a great and successful evening!

I am still on track! Tonight I am succeeding even though I have 3 teenage girls in the house for my oldest daughters sleepover. YIKES! I have NEVER bought so much junk food!

Oh well, I am succeeding tonight! A glass of water and then sweet dreams!

Date night with hubby and friends went well. Best part, the friends are his boss, so it got written off as a business dinner and we didn't have to pay. Stuck to the three bite rule for all sampling. Didn't even eat my whole small plate. It was a great night and a success for me - altho a lot of water today as I think my salt intake was a little more for me than usual.

Hope you all had a great night!

Hi! Weigh in day. I am back down to my 4 pounds of weight loss after 3 weeks. More permanent then the last time, I would think, when I lost 4 pounds in one week. That was nuts!! Anyway, I contribute it to regular exercising (mostly walking) and choosing healthy snacks at night. One night, I wasn't so good. I just felt like eating everything. (My old habit was coming back.) I ate popcorn cooked in oil with the kids. Then, I wanted something else. My mind was first thinking of chocolate. Oh, I consider chocolate one of the 4 food groups. Can't live without it. Anyway, I decided to get some oranges and peel them for a snack. I ended up feeding my whole family that way. It was nice to swing them my way for a change. Even though I wasn't totally good, I still call it a success story for not over indulging. You go girls!! Keep up the good work.

Hey Ladies, sorry, I've been MIA, but it seems as though I have been eating later and later each night (at least for the weekend that is). I've come to realize that on the weekends, my day starts and ends so late that I just don't eat right and always eat late. I can definitely admit, that I do make better choice and eat smaller portions so I am not mad at myself.
This weekend, I only ate out once! That's a definite improvement for me. Next week I will do better.

teetee - I'm in the same boat as you as far as eating later and later. Thank goodness it's a new week with new resolves. Good for you for only eating out one night. Great job!

bebe - You did awesome! My family's desserts now are fresh fruit and whip cream. No complaints yet. Awesome on the 4 lb weight loss.

wlhanisch - hope your friday night was successful. Three teenage girls and a bunch of junk. How did you do? I'm not sure my willpower is even that strong

Nikki143 - You are our inspiration. How are you doing?

All our new joiners last week that I might have missed, I hope you keep it going with us and join us for this week's challenge. we need all the inspiration and encouragement you can give.
