    I started doing this challenge in April. I struggled every night at first. A 3 day streak was good. Things I tried:
    1. Brushing my teeth
    2. Saying that I could eat it in the morning if I still wanted it
    3. Going to bed earlier if the craving was really bad
    4. Having a cut off time. Mine is 7.30
    5. Posting everyday to the challenge.
    6. Being determined to succeed.

    Having stuck with it, it has now become habitual. I look at the time and if it's after 7.30 I say no. It has become easy. If I slip up it usually because I didn't look at the time.

    Good luck everyone!

    My goal is to stay under 1300 net calories & no alcohol. So if I meet both goals, then that's 1 for me. If I go off plan for either calories or alcohol, than that's 1 for LNS.

    Great job all! Can we please add what did we do to avoid LNS to help each other?
    Example: I drink coffee to help but it does not work everytime.

    I like the idea of sharing ideas. I have tea or water at night which helps a little. Unfortunately my downfall is when I get together with friends in the evening and the snacks come out. I was able to stay within my calories last night, but did eat after 8:00 pm and ate back all my exercise calories :(

    Having a hard time here. I had such a great day yesterday, I ate well and exercised and had a healthy dinner, and then 10 pm rolled around. I feel like I am sabotaging myself. I exercise a lot and I love to exercise, and I like eating healthy foods. So why must I continue to find the night snacking so difficult? I am going to keep going with this challenge and am determined to do better moving forward. Still so motivated!!

    I got up at 10 pm after finishing a Netflix show and grabbed nuts :(, I am going to add a tbs of coconut oil or unsalted butter to my coffee tonight to make it a bullet proof coffee that may curb my appetite.

    I nearly didn’t make it tonight but knowing I’d be posting pushed me through. Big thanks go to every team member but especially our organiser.

    I've just begon; the first night was a complete failure. I still had a bag of m&m's and couldn't resist it. Still had a few today, but I didnt overeat (cuz there weren't anymore :( ). My plan is to NOT buy all these delicious chocolatey treats... and don't go shopping hungry

    I'm using the suggestion of posting in advance this evening instead of in the morning. I don't want to be untruthful either and hopefully this will help.

    I started with this challenge in July when I was LNS almost every night. The accountability of posting has really helped me. I went to the doctor today and have lost 11 pounds since my last visit two months ago (51# loss total). I attribute the recent loss mainly to this forum. What has helped me not to LNS too is feeding my sweet tooth with a container of Halo Top as the last thing I eat in the evening. I have it incorporated into my calories for the day.

    I love everyone's tips! Thanks for sharing!
