in Motivation and Support
Hey - would anyone be interested in this? I know that there isn't inherently wrong with eating after dinner as long as you're under your limit....but at least in my case, I still slip and do it, especially on the weekends.

So I'm thinking check in every night or morning and report back how you did, and what you did to stay on track if you were craving.

Let me know if anyone's up for a challenge!!

    I would definitely be in! This is my downfall. I've tried "closing" the kitchen after 9pm but I still end up working my way in there. Feel free to add me for support!

    Just for info - you are more likely to put weight on if you go to sleep hungry. So you are better to snack on something high protein/healthy before sleeping rather than feel hungry.. It's been medically researched & proven.. I was shocked but its apparently true...

    I would follow in. Right now I am going to bed around 10 so I want to try to stop eating and drinking after 7.

    I am out. As a matter of fact, in protest of your NO NIGHTIME SNACKING CHALLENGE, I will eat in bed. Just as I am about to fall asleep. LOL

    i cant join this. i have type 2 diabetes. if i go to bed without something in me, my blood sugar will get low and i feel horrible and super hungry in the middle of the night and into the morning. but im willing to go into it making healthier night time snack choices? i do have a tenancy to go overboard with eating at night cause of that. i challenge myself to drinking milk or something healthier:)

    That isn't right that she leaves it out to taunt you. Pack it all up and mail it to my house. I will take care of it.

    I usually try to plan a small snack, because I tried this kind of thing once, that "don't eat after (x)pm," thing, and I couldn't sleep. I already suffer from insomnia and weird sleep patterns, so I decided not to worry about this.

    Enjoy the challenge, hope it works for some of you!

    I'd be happy to have it gone but it'd be a bit expensive to ship it transatlantic.

    I'd be in for this - not to eliminate the after-dinner snack, but say, to eliminate snacking too close to bedtime (maybe an hour). I've found that if I eat too close to going to bed, my sugar dips, causing me to wake up in the middle of the night. Like most people, sleep is very precious to me, so I'd love to have some support in killing this habit.

    What a great idea!! Please count me in....this is the one really bad habit I haven't totally managed to eliminate while I've been doing 'Insanity'. Now I am into my last two weeks and really want to focus, this might provide me with exactly the impetus I need.

    Agree with Kristal though about just not snacking too close to bedtime, I have issues with acid reflux and I am not helping by eating foods so close to bedtime so frequently wake up in the middle of the night not feeling great. Or alternatively to make whatever snack we do have a lot more healthy. I think a general clean up of night time snacking, however we do it, would be very useful!

    Come on guys, we can TOTALLY do this, and who knows after a fortnight's time we'll be like, 'nighttime snacking? Why would we do *that*?"
