Day 20 for me is done. No snacking after dinner - nothing till breakfast. This group has been great for me, I am now just a couple of pounds away from my original goal - set over two years ago. I have fought the last ten pounds forever! But identifying where I have been failing and doing something effective about it took me a loooonngg time.

Well tomorrow will be 21 days for me. I've appreciated this grouping the support it offers but I know my journey continues. This last week has been easier as I have been off work and my other half has been around. I struggle most when I'm home alone so this week will be a telling point for me.
I hope everyone is ok and achieving what they want to achieve.

Well tomorrow night I will be starting over :grumble: And it wasn't even worth it!!! Complete stress, mindless snacking. We just had a huge storm pass through with hail and tornado warnings. grabbed some snacks for the kids and headed to the lower level garage. next thing I knew I was eating the snack food!!! not happy with myself.

21 days. This has been SO worth it. I plateaued for about a year! And this group has helped me get the scale moving down again. How cool is that?

Thank you Bo, and everybody for helping me be accountable. I couldn't have done it without you! We can all do this. Just never give up, and you will get to your goals, whatever they are.

Rlstepp29 - good for you! You can do this, it does get easier and if you do slip a little just dust yourself off and start fresh again. We can all do this!

Thanks a bunch gxmiller31!!! You are such an inspiration!

Finally last night was the 1st night was the first night that I haven't done late night snacking. Even though I did get in late from a meeting and working out at the gym I only had a PowerBar that I counted as part of the calorie count and after workout routine.

HI Adobo,

Thanks for moderating the group. Can you remind me how the check ins go? Do I reply a general message or reply directly to you?

I still want to be able to have a snack after dinner (insulin) but want to stay within my calorie goals. Can that be considered a success?

Thanks,
Debby

Hi! This looks like a very motivated, supportive group--just what I need! I had been doing great with MFP, but fell off the wagon. I have been back "on" for the past two days. Nighttime eating has been a problem of mine forever, so I am thrilled to find this group. I will try to check in each day. Thanks!

Well last night was 22 nights, so habit broken? I wish! For me the habit is not broken until I am sitting there home alone at 9.15 thinking I really want to eat. I don't need to eat but I want to. Last week my partner and I were off work so it was easy. As a secret eater when you have company it's not going to happen. But now? Back to working long hours, lack of energy for preparing even something simple for just myself and the convenience of just reaching for a biscuit ( or 10) or crisps or nuts or ANYTHING. that is my ongoing challenge. It's not helping that I have been logging everything, generally coming in at 1200 calories and not losing an ounce. I'm ensuring that I do10000 steps almost every day and am hitting 70000 at the end of the week as a minimum. I'm feeling disheartened. :ohwell:
