    I would love to do this! I have made a rule no eating past seven for myself! I did great for three weeks and then last night i failed! I had some chips (doh!) at 9PM. But i still counted them and didn't go over my calories. So today is a new day! me-1 eating-0!

    Okay, so I can either say that it is 3/4 failures, or 1/4 successes. Time to focus and get my butt in gear. Isn't that what Mondays are for?

    Tonight's cutoff: 7:30!!!!!!!

    Good morning-
    As lovely as Easter was and having the kids home, I have to get back on track now big time. So far, April has been a bust for this challenge. However, I am not deterred. I went 27 days in a row last month. I can do it again. Tonight will be my new Day 1.
    Good luck to everyone!

    Callie and Betsy, welcome :flowerforyou:. I go by the rule "the more, the merrier" :wink:, so jump on!
    No food after dinner sounds right to me.

    Lulablle, you're one day ahead of Zaza :wink:. Btw, Zaza, welcome back and nice to hear you had a lovely time on Easter, together with your sons. I wonder where teetee is...

    I ate a bit past 9 last night, but decided to have just an apple and this time I stuck with it :smile:. So I'll keep on counting.

    Thanks Callie. Avoiding nighttime snacking is what keeps me from gaining weight so I really try to stick to the challenge. I can't beat my 27 night record from last month, but I can still try to get the rest of April.
    Good luck to everyone.

    Saturday we had company and we ended up not eating until 9:00 pm so there went my 7:30 cut off. I did however not snack after dinner. Sunday I did have zucchini and yellow quash after 7:30. I finished eating it around 8:15. Today is a new day and I am determined to do it this evening because I am seeing results on the scale just from cutting back on nighttime eating.

    This is one of my big struggles. We eat dinner early... around 5pm or 6pm yet I don't go to bed until 10pm. I really want a piece of cheese and crackers, but I will settle for a cup of mixed berry tea.:drinker:

    Oh, I am such a slacker. I've been MIA so long, the topic has even changed. I have to get back on my posting ball. It just sucks with the whole time difference thing, my day ending as everyone else is beginning. I'm pretty good at not snacking after dinner, and if I allow myself a little dessert, it's always before 730 pm. So, I'm in for the April Challenge.

    wow, lots of determined ppl here, welcome, everyone :flowerforyou:
    5ktorun, I think you've got a really good start there. You addapted very well to the circumstances. Also good to see that you're working on improving. :flowerforyou:
    mathteacher, you might want to start small. From 5 to 10 you might end up starving and this is dangerous - if you're too determined, you run into the trouble of going to bed with a growling stomach. If you give up, you might stuff your face. I have a suggestion: plan some healthy snack around 7. A bit of protein with a fruit - if you have it under control, nothing wrong with a snack after dinner. Just make sure you fix a cut-off and stay strong from that point on.
    lulabelle, glad to see you back on track - good to have you back in the game :wink:.

    I know I've missed some people, but I read your posts and was happy to see how inspiring you all are, ladies! (do we have any guys in the team? I think we had one or two, but lost them on the way - maybe you girls can get you hubs to join :laugh:)

    I was STRONG last night, yeah! Did not eat after 8, actually (did fancy something around 10, but decided today's food will be tastier if I'll stick to my plan :wink:)

    Hi everyone-
    I am back on track. Last night was my Day 1. :happy:
    I feel like I have to stick w/this if for no other reason I'd be embarrassed not to after all the recognition you've given me for going 27 days in a row. :blushing: Thank you everyone for your support and positive reinforcement. It feels so much better than going to bed uncomfortable after late night snacking.
    So think positive - we can all do this!!!!
    Zaza
