SAY "NO" TO LATE NIGHT SNACKING -- MARCH 2018 CHALLENGE

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 .
You will notice some people post streaks of how many days they are free of late night snacking. This is definitely not a requirement, but if you want to do it for motivation, it works well.
Welcome!

Drat! I wanted to do better this month. It was a small carton of yogurt and frozen fruit mixed in, but still. I guess it's better than a loaf of bread.5 -

Sweet challenge, made for me! My currently reality involves wine lots of evenings, so I'm not going to sabotage myself by eliminating ALL my vices at once.
Goal: nothing to eat after 7pm on weekdays, 8pm on weekends
Exception (reality, folks): wine allowed after 8pm on weekends
Me: 1

I think I have been doing this challenge for a year!! I'm not perfect but this thread has really helped me to be mindful about snacking in the evening/night.
Hasn't started well.... but I'll catch up....

I'm back.
I had broken the habit with the support of this thread last year, but those cravings have done me in lately!
So, my goal (once again) is only pre-logged late-night snacks 5/7 nights per week. This allows for snacking on the weekends, which makes sense for me.
Starting tonight!
