No more Late Night Snacking - September

in Health and Weight Loss
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 ? Tired of it? 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 September 5, but then binged before bedtime, then the next morning the score is
Me: 4 - LNS: 1

Good luck, everyone!

    I am going with no junk food because I ate a piece of toast and jam at 7:15, but that was dinner.

    Thank you GM for posting a link to September! :flowerforyou:

    YEAH for EVERY BODY who has Joined us!:love:

    This month, LNS represents emotional/stress eating. If I am eating past my planned evening snack and beyond my calorie limit for the day, I am LNS. In August there were days I did NOT have a LNS but I’d had extra snacks earlier in the day, which with my scheduled evening light snack put me over my limit for the day. Ugh! SO this month I am aiming to stay inside the daily calorie limits consistently. YEAH!

    I am recovering from my surgery and am on heavy physical restrictions this week and moderate restrictions for the following five weeks. This will be a very challenging LNS time for me. That doesn’t mean I’m throwing in the towel! I will be tracking my food and finding little ways to move each and every day!

    GO GO GIRL POWER! Lets kick LNS butt!!:drinker:

    Thanks for starting the NEW THREAD for September, **gmukris** :flowerforyou:

    Me: 1*
    LNS: 0

    I finished strong for August...:drinker: YAY!! 30 days of no LNS...and my weight is under 115 (which goal is 110...and I NEVER thought I would want to be at my HS weight ever after I reached 30). I have learned MUCH about nutrition, exercise, body fat, etc....here at MFP! When I first started here it was late December 2011, I was already on a 30 day NO SUGAR challenge. That actually lasted 59 days, and I have made some grrrreat friends here on MFP. When I found this forum 2.5 months ago, I dropped out, cause MINDLESS eating just took over during the latter part of July. In August, my DETERMINATION has gotten me to this point...where if I am up watching TV late, I am drinking tea...THINKING about snacking...but NOT WANTING to RUIN my Accountabiltiy :laugh: What has developed is a Grrrreat Habit of NO LNS!! I expect to go through September with PERFECT record. I slipped one time in August...but it was my BEST effort yet!!

    WELCOME to all the new Members who are making your determinations. We ALL have slipped, fallen, but INEVITABLY have gotten back up to start again!!....when you do THAT...YOU WIN over your yourself...and YOU are ALL that counts!! We LOVE supporting and CHEERING you on...but you have to make up your mind!! GOOD LUCK!! Always looking for active and dedicated friends...soooo ADD me, if you are on all the time, and willing to participate in your NEW GOALS before YEAR END :happy: If you *do* friend me...make sure you add a note from where you saw my invite. Otherwise, alas, I won't accept. You are ALL AWESOME!!

    See you on the Forum or Newsfeed!!

    Hugs to All! :flowerforyou:

    Thank you, Kristina, for starting this and everyone else for joining. The thought of you kept me strong on Saturday :smile:.

    My plan for Sept is to have dinner at 8ish and only allow myself a glass of milk after that, should I need it.

    Me: 2 - LNS: zer0 :happy:

    Hey Bop! :flowerforyou:

    Welcome to NO LNS! Make yourself comfortable! When you post, include your score for the month: ME VS LNS. Somewhere along the line, it would be helpful to tell us how you see LNS and what your goal is. And then, throughout the month, you can do a happy dance; share a little about your journey; offer words of encouragement and support, etc.:laugh:

    We’re in this to build healthy habits. YEAH for us! :drinker:

    Well I am counting today already even though it is only 7.30pm here in the Uk because after my pudding in a minute I will not eat again till breakfast.

    I ate loads yesterday (though not snacking after dinner) as I knew I had to run a mega long way this morning. It was quite horrible seeing red numbers on my diary but hey ho, today I will never reach my target so its swings and roundabouts. I ran 20 miles this morning so have made sure I have eaten really well today. But now I am shattered and need my bed very soon

    Well done :laugh: everyone for your efforts

    I'm in too. I have to stop the late night snacking now, not later. I usually get home from work around 11p and snack till I go to bed at 1a. Starting Sept. 4, I will allow myself to have only one healthy snack (100 calories) after getting home from work. And on the days I don't work one healthy snack after dinner. My goal is to stop the sanity of late night snacking!!
