Wow...great going everyone. Loved to see wilhanisch did well at the hockey game...MAJOR WIN....

Keep up the fight, Beeps...can you just leave the kitchen area and NOT come back...?

I just got soooo hungry tonight after work that I came home and ate dinner at 4:30. Went to the gym, exercised, watched a movie and am headed to bed with no desire to eat. Maybe I need an early dinner every night. Who knows.

Good luck tomorrow everyone. You can do this!!!

mar, you made me laugh about the cooking shows. I like watching them,too, but they are dangerous.:laugh:

wlhanisch, good for you avoiding snacks at hockey! :flowerforyou: I remember taking my boys and I couldn't pass up hot chocolate during their games.

I think what is helping me now is having a late cut-off of 9:30. I got through the first week pretty easily so I am moving my cut-off time to 9:15 p.m. On nights out, I will still keep it at 11:30.

Got to get moving - have a good day everyone!

I am ready to hit the hay one I post here and on one more board. I know I will only be grabbing a glass of water to accompany me to my room.... so I can safely add last night and tonight to my stats...

So glad to see how supportive everyone is here. I definitely like the "supportive" boards vs. the "I wanna beat myself up mentally for my flaws" boards.

I am doing pretty well so far. In fact its 100% to me

I am trying to stick with no processed cakes this year. If someone has cooked a lovely fresh cake than I will happily eat some but cakes out of packets are out. I am trying to keep off the sugar and floury stuff where possible too but did not do so well yesterday with lots of ginger cookies and breadsticks!!:ohwell:

Yesterday we had a joint lunch at work. I always take my own which means I can stick to being healthy and portion controlled. Whereas yesterday a couple of people had bought vegetarian quiches especially for me so I indulged...a lot. Then when I got home I stuffed lots of houmous, gaucamole and bread sticks. But today I am back on track :drinker:

well done ladies. Everyone is doing great :flowerforyou:

Great job everyone!! :flowerforyou:
I am SO motivated by all of you and this challenge. I think of you every night!:laugh:

Then every morning I have a big grin on my face (even though I am still not completely on track) because this challenge works!!! The scale is creeping down. :happy:

Hello all you voices in my head....that's right. You all are living in my head and help me keep from eating at night. Thanks so much for wanting to share and involve yourselves. It's working for me too...scale is going down.

Katemateg: great job....I find eating other people's food to be hard too. It's ok to have a big day. Actually, some people think you should over eat every once in a while to jump your metabolism.

Dewdrop: super job.
Zaza...wonderful
Beeps..super job
Deb...great as always....

Let's finish out the week on the winning side!!!

Mar, you've totally gotten the spirit here. These voices in our heads (or to me the thought of the story I have to tell the next day) is what keeps us off the late snacks/binges.

Zaza, I am really impressed - this is the "you'" that I got to know a while ago :flowerforyou:. I always love to have you back in the challenge, more so when you are doing this great!

Deb, thanks for taking the time to mention each of us and support us. That means a lot! You know it, right?

Kate, wtg on "no processed" sweets! I for one cannot go cold turkey on sugary stuff, but then why put also all the other chemicals in my body?! There were many times in my life when after a few week's break, chocolate didn't even taste that well... Now after a "readjustment" after Christmas, I am afraid that it tastes well again, but I am also proud to say that I still have lots left and seem to eat sweets slowlier... I drink tea when I feel knocked down or under stress and not having sweets handy helps .

Beeps, so happy to see that you are back on track. Goodbye, Tom! For a while. I am in the same boat, btw, with this "friend" of ours.

Last, but not necessarily least, I almost failed last night, but then I actually didn't :happy: (admittedly, I had 3 dried apricots right after 8 o'clock, but since my "plan" of failing the night afterwards failed itself, I will not count those). So it's

Have a lovely day, ladies! We're speeding downhill towards weekend! :happy:

need to try this again. Has knee replacement surgery in november and finally got the ok from physio to start going to the gym again. For me that is a huge part of staying on track with food. Needless to say i have not done well so far :sad: :sad:
but i just had a big cup of tea so i think i will be done for the night....perhaps tonight can be my first success???

Tonight should go well.... As long as DH doesn't pop that popcorn... (I ate a ton of popcorn last night when I stayed 4 hours late at work to get my stuff done).... I did take in a total 24 grams of fiber.... 16 from popcorn (right along with 1600 grams of sodium)

Good luck and good night MFP friends

Popcorn is my FAVOURITE snack. I make it in a paperbag in the microwave!
