Are you ruining the efforts you've made during the day to eat clean and exercise by munching late? Are you turning dinner into the most important meal and snacking all the time until you hit the pillow :grumble: ? Then join us .
We usually set a cut-off time for accountability. You may, but don't have to go cold turkey on food. Feel free to say "no more junk food past 7 p.m.".
Reporting is in the format:
Me: "times you won against snacks" - LNS: "points you lost"
For instance, if you did well until August 5, but then binged before bedtime, then the next morning the score is
Me: 4 - LNS: 1
Good luck, everyone! :flowerforyou:

I'm in. I do good all day and through supper. Then it hits...last night was bad. Watching the olympics - mindless munching. So this is a definite must do for me. Thanks.

I'm in for my 3rd month.
So far so good.
Tonight I go to running club at half 7 so tend to need to eat something after (will eat a small dinner at around half 5) as my body needs to re fuel, but I won't count it as its fuel replacement not snacking (am I bending the rules )0 -
OMG! this is SO my problem! I get home from work around 4:30pm and my boyfriend doesn't get home from work until around 12am. It really throws me off! I am always up so I can see him before we go to bed and between 4:30 and 12 I snack. Mostly on candy to be honest :ohwell:
I am really going to try this! Have some accountability for my serious candy addiction!
Thanks for the GREAT idea!!0 -

Thanks *Dewdrop* for starting the new thread. I tried in June to stay steady, but dropped out, and then got SERIOUS on July 13th (finding this thread)...and FINALLY trained myself to NOT Late Night Snack *YaY* I think you gave me encouragement that since I didn't eat all my calories for the day, something *healthy* that I reported eating after 8pm, was okay, because it wasn't a SNACK and unhealthy. ...I am glad the new thread is up, and that you gave me the format. I sure did a LOT of writing in July. :laugh: It is DEFINITELY a popular thread...and I am IN for August just to be ACCOUNTABLE. I've been eating my snacks BEFORE 8pm, and find it has been helpful with my weight loss. Being SOO near weight goal, the LNS'ing has been sabotaging tha... UNTIL THIS FORUM :drinker:
Wishing STRENGTH and FOCUS to all who have joined us this month! It has REALLY worked for me.0 -

debi, although I wasn't visible last month, I still had the topic in my list and had a look every now and then. I was so impressed by your commitment, by how well you motivated others (by example and in words), so I felt confident that this challenge will be kept alive even in my absence. Thank YOU so much! Together with gmukris, katemateg, beeps and the other ladies, you rocked!!! :flowerforyou:0
