Welcome to the November challenge!!! Wow...the year will soon be over...where did the time go?!

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!

    4th month with this thread and I am back! :)

    In October, I maintained my streak right up to 25th then, :( weakened :( for 1 day. Returning with the same goals for November.

    November Goals

    I am leaving the element of choice in here as it seems to help.

    :star: Finish eating by 10pm, 2 days of my choice out of 7 days a week (I'm upping the element of choice here)

    Okay... I really need this because I am prone to eat late in the evening. So, I am setting my cut off time at 8:00pm. I will allow myself a cup of sugar-free green or black tea and water.

    I started at the end of October and found it really helped me. My goal is no eating after 7pm except for water and herbal tea. Hoping to meet 6 out of 7 days.

    I'm in! Since joining MFP, I have discovered that I would never be over my ideal calorie goal if I was not late night snacking! This is a life habit that is going to change. Thanks for the board!

    OK, plan for November: Eating a light dinner no later than 9:30 p.m. (because I work until 9:00 weeknights). Will report in weekly on Sunday morning (my weigh-in day) beginning Nov. 8.

    No eating after dinner. Eat dinner by 7:00pm. Drink a cup of black tea in the evenings. This is the toughest time of the day for me.
