We continue what we have worked on in October

http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/1109006-say-no-to-late-night-snacking-in-october

... or start anew, depending on the point of view :wink:.

Fix a cut-off or just say "no more junk after dinner" - whatever suits you best.
Let's keep track of our progress as suggested in October and motivate each other!

    I'm back and in again for the long haul. My goal is NO eating after dinner. Eventually I'd love to move to some intermittent fasting. But right now I'm going for NO snacking!!!

    It is time for me to cease focusing on "goals" and to only focus on "systems". I am working with my husband this weekend to put "systems" in place that will help me focus on 2 things:

    1. calorie-deficit to lose bodyfat; and
    2. lifting heavy things to change bodyshape

    So, I am *unsure* how LNS is going to factor into this - it's been a "goal" of mine, but sometimes my goals are hi-jacked (by myself). With "systems", I am only to focus on the "inputs" and let the "outputs" take care of themselves.

    Having said that, with proper "systems" in place, LNS SHOULD be ELIMINATED entirely - because THOSE calories coming OFF the table will assist me with item #1.

    I wrote all this to say.....if you DON'T see me around here, on a daily basis, it is ONLY because I am focusing on "inputs", and trying to leave the "outputs" alone....

    Beeps, we'd notice if you wouldn't post - your numbers are motivational and your presence matters here. However, I cannot but agree that if you need a change of plan, than you should focus on that. Please do let us know how it goes -no LNS can simply mean no junk, no carbs, no sweets - whatever fits in your plan. It doesn't even have to involve a cut-off time.

    I was away over the weekend and had a lovely bonding time with my toddler. I went slightly past my cut-off time, but it was only for a drink or because we did not finish dinner just at 8. Last night went great.

    Me: 3* - LNS: 0

    I aim for finishing dinner by 7, at least when it's in my power. Bed time: latest 10. Will try to post in advance if I there's a deviation in sight ;).

    Yay! Everyone's looking great...and I'm going to break the mold. I did well except for last night. Last night was not so good at all. But I'm back on the ball tonight. I promise!

    I'm back....again (I think, I hope). :blushing:

    Beeps and April - good going!!:drinker:

    I'll see if I can catch up. I need this challenge to help get back on track. Have been out of control - living in the land of denial.

    I'm going with the assumption of:

    Me: 0
    LNS: 9

    Starting tonight, nothing except water after 9:30 p.m. unless it's a special occasion that warrants 11:30 p.m. as a cut-off.

    Have a great day everyone - it's gorgeous here in the Northeast!! The nicest Fall we've had in awhile.

    The weekend wasn't great, cos both nights I got home late (didn't eat out). Last night, though, I munched.
    On the whole, thinking of the challenge continues to help :smile:.

    Zaza, need I say how happy I am to see you again? And that I am convinced you can catch up and get ahead! Good luck!

    Thanks dewdrop! I'm so happy to see you too.:smile:

    I've only been at this challenge one night, but so far so good. The tide is turning in my direction (despite my ticker moving in the wrong direction:laugh: )

    Great job Beeps!

    Zaza - way to be accountable! It's also great to see someone with late cut-offs too. LOL Mine are 9 most days, 10 on others. But mostly, actually, even when I eat later, I judge my win based on WHY I ate. Did I pig out and binge? Mindlessly? Or was I hungry or just having a small treat a bit late?

    lamlam - I don't post every day at all. We're talking...once a week maybe. So you're in good company. :)

    Thank goodness for this challenge. I hate losing so much to LNS and then having to fess up here that I don't snack after my cut-off time! Yay!

    I was so tempted last night, but this challenge kept me in line. I was happy when I got on the scale this morning.
