    wlhanisch, this makes 2 of us on day 1. It's about time I join this challenge, isn't it? So I am baaaack :drinker: I had a bit too long inertia after New Year's. And did so well over the holidays :ohwell:

    Zaza, thank you so so so much :flowerforyou: for being supportive and setting a good example. It would be a shame not to join you in this journey, even if it were for the simple reason that I so much enjoy your company. :) And wlhanisch and kristine_23 and the others who fought with us in the old thread :love:

    As for restarting, to make things look like a new beginning, I will also keep track of my off-to-bed time :). I have probs with not staying up late, so here's my plan:

    food cut-off time: *8 p.m*. (7 when possible, 9 when going out)
    bed time: *11 p.m.* (11:30 at most) - let's see if I can do it

    dewpearl, I KNOW you can do it!!! Stay with us.

    Welcome also to tparkin!!

    For those of you who started this challenge with me on Jan. 5 and haven't cheated, last night was Day 7!!!! I had lost track of the days, and 7 consecutive days is quite an acoomplishment. Congratulations!!!:drinker:

    If you fell off the wagon and had to start over at Day 1, please do not be discouraged. There's a lot of days left in the month and anyone could still "win" this competition on Jan. 31. Besides, any night we don't indulge, we're all winners. But, if you have that competitive streak, I intend to start a new challenge on Feb. 1 and we'll start again at Day 1.

    For now, let's see who can go the longest without late night snacking. Good luck everyone!!!

    It's been a hard day. I'm feeling hungry a lot of the day. :frown:
    I'm drinking my water - I think my glass will be overflowing when I journal - I know it will. I just want to snack and I'm fighting it. :noway: Hopefully this will by my 8th success night. :drinker: :drinker: :drinker:

    I'll be back later for the update and "announcement of my battle won"!

    I made it through day 8 for the no night challenge but ... I went over in my calories. I know this is not the norm for me so tomorrow is a new day and I can start over with staying within the 1200 calories.
    Hope everyone has a great evening.

    Aw, this came by surprise. Somebody should have told me smiley-angry031.gif

    On a second thought... smiley-angry028.gif, it's best this way. I would have joined anyhow :wink:

    Competitive alright. But not Day 1, pleeeaaaase :glasses:


    :love: ya all for the determination you're showing.

    One week and I have only ate after 8PM once. :smile:
    I think it's safe to say things are going well.

    Yesterday I knew it was going to be a very busy day an I knew I wouldn't be going to bed until midnight or later so I had to adjust my time.... I gave my self until 9:00.
    I never did have a late night snack.... I just didn't get supper until 8:20!!!!
    Happy first day back at college for me:ohwell:

    Tonight will be normal..... Tomorrow will be a late one again.....
    1st day back at college and 10 papers to write by tomorrow.

    Tonight is Day 10.:happy: I can't believe it. I just got back from the movies and had nothing but water. I really want something. I guess I better just grab some water and get upstairs, far from the kitchen!!
    Hope everyone is hanging in there. Will touch base tomorrow.

    Wo:noway: ow. Well done :flowerforyou: !!!

    I'm past Day 3 - I think I ate past 8 yday, about 8:30 (donno for sure, cos we were out and I waited for my food, then waited forever to pay, and it was 9 when I left, but didn't check my watch when I finished eating :smile: ). Considering that I avoided the temptation to snack once home, this really deserves to be seen as Day 3 :drinker: .

    Good luck everyone, Zaza, you are doing great!!! :flowerforyou:

    dewpearl, I agree with you. When you are out, adjustments have to be made. That's why I have a different cut-off for special occasions/week-ends.

    My weight has been a yo-yo since I have been bad about logging calories and inconsistent with exercise. :grumble: So this challenge is saving me.:happy:

    I hope everyone else is experiencing success. Keep us posted, especially if you're having difficulty. We're all here to help each other.
    Zaza
