No late night snacking - March 15 - 21

I'm in... as always. Starting over again with hopefully one tonight and to keep within my calories on consecutive nights (my own personal challenge). 7:30 is my cutoff tonight.

I do not eat after 6 pm. But sometimes it is so hard! Especially if me and my hubby got a babysitter and are out just two of us!

My cut off time is 6pm. This goal was an easier one for me than others. I'm all cold turkey, it's all or none. :flowerforyou:

1.. wow sugar! way to go on the weight loss!

I actually don't have a cutoff as sometimes I don't eat until 8/8:30pm for dinner and I may not go to bed til 2am. My goal is to eat dinner and potentially a snack (like fruit or something) but not to eat junk food and not to plow through whatever is in my cupboards and make my good calorie day turn into a nightmare (which is something I frequently struggle with)

Im so In this is my weakness and why I gaind two of my pound lost!!!

Most nights due to work schedules, we eat quite late. I try to finish a meal before 8PM, but that doesn't always happen. On the weekends, it rarely happens, especially when we go out. No matter what time I go to bed I try hard not to eat anything after the meal! Tough, but it can be done.

I'm in, I'm going to set my goal for 7:30pm.. I have a problem with eating late night icecream in bed while watching TV with hubby. I am sooo going to stick to this, maybe I will loose more weight quicker. I have a question though, what is the best time to not eat after, and when is the best time to exercise? In the morning or after dinner? Thank you

Hi there! As far as I know,

There are 2 opinions about when is the best time to stop eating.
First - 6-7 pm
Second opinion - in 4 hours before you go to bed. But in my opinion the second path is more dangerous because you can have dinner at 9pm and "promise" to yourself not to go to bed till 1 am, but get tired and fall asleep! )))


You should have 2 hours before and after excercises. In this case your body will not be using energy from food on work out. Your body will be using it's own sources. ))

Morning! I wasn't even able to create a cutoff for the last 2 nights because Sunday was a command dinner and that did not start until 7pm and last night, I was supposed to meet a friend from a visiting ship for dinner but that fail through so I went to get something to eat about 730. Now that all the important people are gone, I can get back on track with my workout and my proper eating. I've been horrible for the last two days just because we had an inspection and our commanding officers here from Naples. It's not to often we are graced with the presence, but man, it really throws a person normal routine out the window. Oh yeah, I also have my first ball this Friday night. So I can only make my cut off time, for Tues-Thursday of course it will be 730. Then as of next Sunday, I will definitely be back on track doing my thing. :laugh:

I see a lot of new faces and some posts that I missed. I'm running out the door to the gym now, so I will try to catch sometime while I am at work. Welcome everyone!

Hi everyone. Awesome how many people have joined.

Dewdrop, posting later in the morning was an awesome idea.

For me 1/1 on not eating past 7:30 and also on keeping under my calories.

For tonight, I won't be home until after 8 after the gym, but then, only 1 cup of frozen grapes and tea.

Have a great day everyone!

Yeah I try to drink a cup of green tea or some kind of herbal tea after dinner... It warms me up and gets me relaxed for bed.

I'm really liking this challange I work third shift so my day is most peoples nights which makes it really hard when you get off and your hungry to not go crazy on the eating. but I've been tring to plan out what i will eat when i get off and make sure its good for me and not to heavy. I didn't do bad today I stuck to what i had planned. Keep up the great job everyone.

I work nightshift too but I'm usually too tired to eat much when I get off. So I just stop at the Community Center to exercise before I go home and collapse. My big problem is buying snacks or munching on things other people bring to share. Like last night I got a bag of Krunchers instead of eating my apple. :embarassed: It's better because I'm not buying McDonalds at night anymore, mostly eating my "good" food and losing weight. :happy: But it would be nice to figure out a way to get around this desire to comfort eat. Eating at work is a mini vacation since the work is hard. Good for your success today. :flowerforyou:

Hi-
Sorry I haven't been posting - we had no power for 3 days. And we are the lucky ones - lots of people are still out . We're also lucky because we had water and, with propane gas, could take hot showers and use our cooktop and grill. Lastly, the one tree that fell on our property was in the woods and fell away from our neighbor's fence.

My happiness doesn't end there. I must have burned alot of calories trying to stay warm because my weight loss ticker has finally moved for the first time in months!! :laugh:

This challenge really is making a difference. I have managed to go 16 nights in a row without anything caloric after my cut-off time.:happy:

I wish you all luck and a Happy St. Patty's Day!!
Zaza

2/2 for me

Way to go zaza. Sorry bout your weather

Good job pmjsmom, on the weight loss so far. Stay with us. This group is great. And cute pregancy tracker. Will you post a pic when the little sweetie gets here?

Great lulabelle and nicola

Hello, guys! It really does help to have a "support group"! I wanted to tell you how I fight cravings "to chew something" infront of TV. I got some nice herbal tees. Like "Cherry", "Tangerine". It helps to drink them warm. In summer time I add crushed ice and peppermint.
