Say "no" to munching mindlessly at night by fixing a cut-off time, past which you only drink water/tea. It's that simple

I'm totally in! I have been doing much better, but my issue is when I get home from work and am just chatting with my mom. I just start eating! The past week has been much better but I've also been working 10 hour days and barely talk to here when I get home.0

I have survived Easter Sunday and Monday healthily and back on track, wahoo :bigsmile:0 -
Ok, if you'll have me back I'll come running back to you!!! I have done so bad the last three months. I've gained back 9 pounds and I deserve it. I'm back on the band wagon and want my old motivation and spirit back. I'm not going to bed without reporting in to you all and cheering each and everyone on. I'm seriously back, though a little "tail between my legs". It's ok...I've learned, I'm moving forward.
My goal is at least 5 pounds less....0 -

I'll count last night, though I should reset my watch to match our wall clock.
marpeters, we'll definitely have you back in.
so glad to see familiar and new faces. Still missing some people, hope they'll join soon. feel free to spread the news that April's thread is up,
Good luck, everyone!0 -
WTG April.. we're starting on the right foot. I couldn't sleep last night because my tummy was growling. I was so proud...I just laid in bed, tossing, and refused to get up to eat the food that would drug me back to sleep. I know this is a temporary withdrawal symptom. Will be so glad when it is done!

I was so good last night. I had my dinner and didn't eat a single thing afterwards. Not even my Gran could make me eat any dessert! Try as she might. Tonight is going great as well so April is off to a good start!

Quick question, this week i'm doing a lot of dancing and i'm burning loads of calories but i'm finding that i'm at a big deficit at night and I don't really want to eat because it's late but then i've got loads of calories leftover? For example, my net is at 296 at the moment and it's 8.45pm0 -
Lucypaige,
I'm no expert but I do know that having some days lighter is actually good. Change mixes up our metabolism and gets us out of a rut. The people I've read says that two weeks of light calories is just fine...like for a cleanse or something. But after that your metabolism actually slows down. We don't want that!!! If you're going to be doing that a lot, then just count on it and eat more for breakfast and lunch. Great job working out!!!0 -

Hopefully that will be the last LNS for awhile.0 -
My 3rd night shift is over in 3 hours time and I have not snacked the past 3 nights. I am so chuffed to be on a healthy roll again.
I eat dinner around 7pm, then a banana around 4 or 5am, then porridge at 7am ish. Then I'm off to bed and don't eat till dinner.
So far this month looks great :bigsmile:

Poor choices during the day (felt full all the time for some reason), but stayed strong at night even when I could not sleep (in my case, not cos I was hungry, but just because):

Marpeters, thank you for the advice! It's really helpful :-) Can't complain needing a bigger breakfast, ha ha.

No, you don't. We all go through rough times. The LNS munchies beat me twice the past two days. Take one day at a time, and eventually it will become a habit.0 -

I second this. Don't give up! :flowerforyou:
lamlam :flowerforyou:, too. Nice to *see* you .
Me: 2 - LNS: 1 - they got me last night :grumble: Well, sort of, because in fact it's just been a late dinner (got back late from shopping), but the other 2 points for me weren't as clean as I'd have wanted, so I'm sort of evening it out :blushing: .0 -
I so sucked at this last month.:grumble: If I'm eating sugar, cakes etc I want to munch anything, especially in the evenings, right before bed. It is not hunger, it's just munchies.:ohwell:
This month I am trying to keep away from the sugary cakes and snacks and I am much better at eating dinner then saying the day is complete. My latest treat is a Horlicks light after 8pm, they are far from saintly, but they feel like a treat and are a wind down before bed.
It feels so nice to be in control again :glasses:

I'm blaming the head-cold....I don't eat all day (no appetite) and then I try and cram in some calories in order to sleep. So, it isn't like I'm "over" in my calories, but, yes, I did eat past 9 pm last night!0 -
Evening folks :flowerforyou:
I am off to bed shortly and I'm doing well :blushing:

Take every day as a new day. I find that if i can just get through that difficult first day I can keep it up for a few more.
Off to bed after my last drink :yawn:0 -
Determined not to let April beat me!

Hi all....just love having you here to respond to. Last night I had the munchies in a terrible way AND my wonderful husband (LOL) baked some amazing sour dough bread. But I resisted because I wanted to give you all a good report. I'm thinking of you all and pulling for each one of you to be strong and do what's best for your bodies.
*LamLam...good luck..Hope it goes easier for you. We all suck at this...that's why we're here. I think there's a lot to learn on our weight loss journey. A lot to learn about ourselves. That means we HAVE To stumble and fall so we can change for the permanent.
Beeps...gotta have grace for those days when we really don't have a choice but to eat late. Having a cold just messes up everything. Hope you're feeling much better quickly.
Katemateg. Wow...what a schedule you keep. I'm inspired by your dedication and fortitude. Make sure you're having enough calories during the day, though. You don't want to slow down your metabolism. I have made the no white sugar committment and am so surprised about how much better I feel and how easily I heal my colds now. That doesn't mean that I don't occasionally over eat other foods...just not sugar ones.
DewDrop AWESOME....stick to it GIRL!!!
Karenleine: Boy...I've been right there with you. The past two months I gained so much weight. Well...we just get on the band wagon and keep trying. I've lost 60 pounds so far and I'm not quitting...ever...I may stumble but I won't quit!!!
ChantiC. We've just begun...you can do it and isn't it great that your body will tell you how it feels about what we eat.
LucyPaige....Yeahhh Glad you are doing so good.... You keep going!!!
Well: It's been a good strong start for me.
