Snacks Get out of here:laugh:
ROFL :laugh: You're doing very well, Jason! (surprisingly nice name, considering your nick :laugh)0 -
12 me/ 10 snacks :sad:
Which means that is my limit. So I have to be diligent. Friday, Saturday, and Sunday will be 9:30 as we have parties and dinners all weekend.0 -
Late but still on time.:laugh:

Snacks Psshh0 -
12 me/11 snacks
Close but no cigar (The phrase, and its variant 'nice try, but no cigar', are of US origin and date from the mid-20th century. Fairground stalls gave out cigars as prizes, and this is the most likely source, although there's no definitive evidence to prove that) - okay, after thinking of the phrase, I realized I had no idea what it meant so decided to look it up and then share.
Well, last night was not totally my fault. Went out for our official anniversary dinner. Told the waiter at 9 p.m. to give us a couple minutes to decide which dessert we wanted after he gave us a scrumptious list. A couple of minutes turns into 30 before he came back, which means we didn't order it til 9:30 and officially stopped eating at 10, 30 minutes past cut off. Good news is I didn't go to bed until midnight so it was actually two hours before bedtime.
My goal now for April is to at least break even. If I get 15/15, then I'll consider it a success. Whatever I end up with in number this month, I'm just going to add a number to the plus and decrease from the neg to tip the scales (if 15/15, then next month's goal is 17/14 - because of 31 days)
Another party tonight for me, so 9:30 is the cutoff, and I can control that. Just have to control my wine intake as it makes me munchy.
Have a great weekend everyone. Great job!!!0 -

Funny LulaB, and I'm glad you didn't get a cigar since I'm a Respiratory Therapist. LOL :laugh:
The snacks are 4 and I'm the rest.
It's been crazy busy at home and at work. I've slept 1hr out of the last 30. Ya know if you never go to bed you can't be snackin before bed. Can't say as I can recommend it though. :huh:
What happened to Callie and Sunnysashka? Miss 'em.
Keep up the good work everyone. :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker:0 -

Snacks still haven't gotten me:laugh:0 -
Rose 21 / snacks 40

13 me/12 snacks
Saturday, I'm not actually sure because I didn't get to bed until 12:30 and we had ice cream at some point late in the evening but I'm not sure if it was past my 9:30 cut off or not as it was a party and I wasn't clock-watching that night, so I'll let snacks have the advantage. But last night went out for my anniversary dinner and was actually in bed by cutoff time so I know I succeeded there.
For the rest of this week, 7:30 every night but Friday (girls' night out - 9:30)
Be glad to start a new month. This one is ALMOST kicking my butt. 0 -
Dunno for sure, I'm probably at Dew:19 - Late snacks:6. Party on Saturday (though I did pretty well there, but like Lula, I wasn't clock-watching) and had dinner late last night. I'm not thrilled of how this month went, but I think having the challenge in mind (and that I'll have to report
) has been a real help.
Bring May on! 0 -
I agree dewdrop, may come on down.:laugh: May will be a better time for us all more healthy choices in nutrition & physical movement. I have to so get back to my exercise regime atleast half I was doing an extraordinary amount before, maybe I'll pick that back up for a few weeks to get to the weight I want to be at.:bigsmile:

Ay yi yi - me 13/snacks 13
I gave into peer pressure. I told my husband no eating past 7:30. We all went to the gym at 6 p.m. But when we got home and I tried to go into the basement to work while they eat dinner, I got an unintentional guilt trip and ended up eating dinner, which wasn't unhealthy. But the wine and the bread I could have done without. So snacks is whipping my butt this month. Still breaking even. I have four more days to go. I hate to make the time later (like 8:30) because I end up going to bed no later than 9:30 anymore so I like the two hour rule. Sent him an e-mail this morning yet again begging him to support me on this. Need to not be a wuss and "Just Say NO!!!!"
Tonight, 7:300 -
Jason, you are so boring, man! :grumble: How can you keep that 0 standing? :noway: No mistake, nothing? :huh:
OK, OK, let me just say: you deserve :flowerforyou:s
Lulabelle, I am totally convinced you can make 13 the unlucky number for snacks, where they'll get stuck for the rest of the month.
Judging by my mood, you probably figured out that I won last night :bigsmile: : Dew:20 - Late snacks:6.
I'm still hoping that the others are still with us, just counting on their own. Come on, guys, let's cheer together for May:

LulaBelle - My guess is that he thinks your great as you are.
Does he say that?
The snacks last night won at work. I kept away from the chocolate covered peanuts and cheese pretzels that dayshift left for us. (My rule of not eating any of other people's food until my good stuff was gone.) But caved a few hours later when I saw some chips in the department. :grumble: .
So it's Rose 22 and The Snacks 5
But ya know what, I feel like a winner because due to this challenge and knowing I'll have to check in, I'm not going crazy like I've done in the past and I'm losing weight like I never have before :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: .
So even if I "lose", I'm WINNING !!! Isn't that amazing :flowerforyou:0 -

This says it all. I TOTALLY agree! :flowerforyou:0 -
Hi-
I blew it again. :explode: If I stay away from mfp, I just don't do well. Hopefully, the negative behavior is out of my system and I can start May with fresh resolve.
Dewdrop, will you be starting a new thread for a May challenge? I hope so - I really need this.
Thanks.

(Lula) Lorna: 17 vs Late snacks: 13
Okay, so it was rough going in the beginning but I think I'm finally getting the hang of it. So I'm ready for the new challenge. For May, my goal is to obviously not screw up. But ultimately, to not let Snacks win by more than 12.
How did you all do?0 -
(Lula) Lorna: 17 vs Late snacks: 13
Dew: 23 vs Late snacks: 7
(I had dinner too late last night - though it's been just a big green salad with some olive oil and some bread). Although my eating times have varied a lot the past month, I had no mindless snacking (on unhealthy stuff). So, like Rosemary, I think all in all this was a success. THANK YOU all so much for sticking with this and for being so motivational. 0 -
