    "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.

    You set what you feel is late night snacking. For example, if you have extra calories left for the day, you can have a snack if it's small. Others decide not to eat at a past a certain time. It's up to you.

    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!

    @Brenda8892 Thanks. Late night snacking is a real issue for me. It's the reason that I have gained so much weight in the last few years and the way I sabotage my weight loss progress. I love this group/challenge. It's really helping me.

    I fell off the wagon hard this weekend, but I resisted the urge to snack after dinner Friday and Sunday night. This thread has been a big help motivating me to stay strong!

    That's okay, we're holding your seat, so here's a hand to help you climb back on. Let's keep going from here! YOU CAN DO IT!!! Nothing tastes better than wearing a size smaller (when you have a couple lbs to lose) feels...

    I lost track of my count while traveling last week, but still did good with food overall, even on vacation! Yay! So I'll start over from last night...

    That was a snacky weekend, but I'm back at it.
    I have a mini vacation coming this week, but I'm planning on bringing food and making good choices.

    It's getting easier to steer clear of the kitchen now.

    Tonight and last night I did 'late night eating.' I saw from 'logging' my food that I had 'used up' all my calories for the day. I was hungry so ate another 500 calories anyway..After 10pm is the time when my cravings are greatest
    ALOT of calories going down. Don't want weight to go 'up' so need to be accountable.
    So I commit for this coming night no eating after 10pm...

    There has been a lot of good advice in this thread so far:
    Cleaning up and the mentally shutting down the kitchen
    Making tea instead of eating
    Eat a filling/healthy evening meal so you aren't tempted to snack
    Keep busy!
    Go to bed earlier
    Track all your late night snacks
