Borrowed from dewdrop/beeps:
"Tired of self-sabotaging by munching after dinner? Upset that you double your in-calories at night? Then it's not just me . To get some help (or inspire us by your good example), please join us in this challenge.
We're usually fixing a cut-off time, past which only non-caloric things are allowed (unsweetened tea or water). Yet, we're not that strict: you may allow yourself a handful of almonds, if you're able to stop at that. Figure out what fits you and start counting... .
We go by the formula:
Me: "number indicating how many evenings you stuck to it"
LNS: "number of times late night snacks won"
Example: Me: 2 - LNS: 0 indicates I won the first two nights.
Some people also add a * to the latest number. In the example, that would be
Me: 2 - LNS: 1*
if LNS won the 3rd night.
It's as simple as that. Or as complicated, as you will discover. Nevertheless, the persistence and good results of some of our "old" members (and some people keep coming back) show that the battle is worthwhile .
Welcome!

Hi-
Thanks for keeping the challenge going. :flowerforyou: I have been so off the wagon and really need this. I am determined to make April a good month.
My cut-off time will be 9:30 p.m. except for special occasions and then it will be 11:30 p.m.
Good luck tonight!

I couldn't decide whether 3:45 am was late night or early morning, so I'm going to split the difference on this one!

Good morning-
Even though I haven't been good about posting, I am psyched about this challenge and am happy to report:

I know it's mind games, but this challenge keeps me honest and away from the kitchen at night.
While some of you may have had a little trouble getting started, do NOT give up. The beauty of this challenge is that you still have plenty of time to show LNS who is the boss. Just get out of the kitchen completely before your cut-off time. Go floss your teeth or bleach them.
Good luck!!

I am off early tomorrow for a few days in FL w/my parents. I won't have computer access, but I am going to stick to this challenge. Will update my score when I get home next week.
Good luck everyone. I know the week-ends are hard.
