    Welcome to all the newcomers!! This is a great challenge.

    alfonsinarosi, you now have the swing of it. Keep it going.

    A couple things that help me with this challenge are:
    1- Stay OUT of the kitchen after cut-off time!! (9:30 p.m. for me, except week-ends/special occasions, then it's 11:30 pm)
    2- Floss and brush teeth after cut-off time (and stay OUT of the kitchen! ha ha).

    Good luck all. Week-ends are often the hardest, but you can do it. Just remember the challenge.

    Me: 6
    LNS: 0

    Me = 2
    LNS = 1* We had visitors. :blush: I ate a clementine after they left.
    Maybe I need to reset lol and make it 'no snacking after 10pm when we have visitors'.

    Say something helpful---not doing well with this at all. I need to reboot my commitment to not eating past 8pm. The only good news is I did switch up what I am snacking on--Whole Foods makes these fruit and veggie popsicles that are 70 calories (maybe 90??--but not terrible), so I have been having one of those instead of a bunch of cookies. So that is a small improvement, but it's not enough. Say helpful things...

    That is a big improvement! I'm no expert on avoiding snacking but my most successful nights are ones where I keep busy - and away from the kitchen - after dinner. For me it's habit rather than hunger so every day breaking that habit gets a bit easier. I also drink a lot of water in the evening, or a small glass of diet coke if I need something extra. You can do it, just aim for one night to start with. Go to bed early if you have to. Good luck :)

    I totally understand your dilemma... I am only beginning to try and stop night snacking. Your choice was better than cookies! It is an improvement. I think you need to feel good about that. Sometimes it comes down to making a better choice instead of denial. These treats sound delicious. I would say try your darnedest to not snack but if you must... make the smart choice like this low calorie treat or maybe a couple of frozen grapes.

    Day 2 for me!
    ME: 2
    LSN: 0

    I really really wanted to snack last night... so I went into the bathroom and stepped on the scale. THAT deterred me from any late night snacking shenanigans!

    My advice is to just pick a time & do it. Maybe start at 9pm.

    This is not easy. Hell, the entire neighborhood was outside last night drinking beer and snacks. I just set my mind that there is no eating after 6pm. Losing this weight is my top priority. Eating late night can blow a good day for me. I just do it!

    One day at a time. It seems to be working so far.

    When I'm done with dinner, I brush my teeth and use some strong mouthwash and then I don't get the urge to snack because mouthwash and chocolate don't go well together!

    Welcome, I think you have just joined our challenge? Yes? This is my 2nd month so firstly,

    You are doing great, if you are anything like me, you want to start our perfect, and if you are not, then you stop and maybe even give up! Here is why I think you are doing great; you joined this challenge, you have already made a change; switched the bunch of cookies for lower calorie foods and are asking for help - bonus and well done.

    My first month challenge was to be honest, and report EVERY day, that was my success. While I was so pleased with the many successes of our other 'Pals', I didn't compare myself with them - I compared myself to my 'before self'. So every night was LNS for me, but in July I reduced my monthly total and now in August I have a new goal to shoot for!

    Some thoughts:
    Drink water
    Brush your teeth
    Walk around the house, walk one flight of stairs (if you have some)
    If you LNS, eat less or better choices ( you are already doing this, well done!)
    Come on line and make yourself read every post on this thread, and as the month goes on, it takes you even more time, and then go to bed, if you can.
    As per some of the earlier suggestions, weigh yourself!
    Your biggest success this month, will be to stay with us, report in, be patient and perhaps see your first month as your awareness month for setting next month's goals!

    Good Luck, looking forward to following your daily updates! Cheers, Marian

    Last night was tough. LNS habit was really calling my name! I resorted to a glass of crushed ice (w/diet peach-tea drink). VICTORY!
