    Wow...August already!!??

    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!
    I will join in these suggestions. I will not snack after 8:30 pm and will accurately measure anything I eat or drink.

    For all of you Christian prayer warriors out there would you please pray for our minister's 1 year old son as he had a seizure earlier this morning. As he was being transported by ambulance to the closest hospital he became unresponsive at one point.
    I would appreciate all of your prayers. Thanks o:)

    I am hoping you each have a Sensational Sunday!! B)

    Well, I blew it last night :s
    I was hungry so instead of eating the planned food I pulled the zucchini bread out of the freezer and ate 3, yes 3 big slices. Sure was good but not worth the consequences!! >:)
    It was a gift from a neighbor so I did not through it out as hubby has really enjoyed it.

    Mariang165 You did it , gal!! Great job!

    @TerriRichardson112 It is so good to see you here also!!

    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!
    What a great idea! My scale is upstairs so maybe that would work for me - not only to weigh but on a different level than the kitchen

    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!
    Good for you!!

    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...

    Welcome to LNS! You have gotten some fantastic advice from the group. My add on would be: I drink sparkling fruit favored no calorie water at nite, I don't purchase anything that is going to temp me later at nite to eat and I go to the gym 2-3 times during week, so a shower and to bed and ready for work the next day. Keep busy!

    Don't compare to us, I have been doing this since April. You have to build up your LNS muscles! If you fall off the wagon, brush off and get back on. GB! o:)

    Hello everyone! It's so encouraging to see this challenge exploding with activity! I had a super busy week last week and am now on vacation.

    Had a little slip on Saturday when putting leftover pizza away from the night. It was so minor but I felt I needed to record it.

    I had a slip last night with a few bites of the pineapple cake my sister in law packed for me to bring home. Before I demolished the cake I threw it in the garbage disposal (Sorry SIL) but better there than adding to my already over healthy waistline!

    ME: 3
    LSN: 1 - darn it
