Say "NO" to Late Night Snacking in May 2014

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!

    So far so good - 1--0. I hope it's okay that I don't have a set time - basically it's no snacking after dinner...

    Hi, new here! I work from home and almost always stay up late to work after my kids/husband are in bed. This has traditionally been my snack time. Trying to cut it out altogether, but have started by making better snack choices. I'm glad I found this group!

    I am out of the country the next 10 days....likely won't be logging in that regularly.

    I will say that I won't be snacking after supper because my traveler's apartment has ZERO food in it!
