If you haven't seen this challenge before, let me brief you about it:
We started this thinking: "Looks like I'm self-sabotaging by munching/bingeing after dinner" or "Mhmm... I'm kinda doubling my in-calories at night".
What you have to do to change the way you feel about your eating at night:
- decide what late night snacking means to you (could be either bingeing, if you're inclined to it or simply eating anything at all after a certain time; some may find that having a healthy snack after dinner is perfectly alright and be upset only when they go overboard)
- report in the thread. We post by the formula:
Me: X vs. LNS: Y,
where X is "how many evenings you stuck to it" and Y "the times late night snacks won". You may want to also add a * to the latest number. Feel free to also post streaks of how many days (in a row) you've managed to be free of late night snacking
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!
Have I touched a cord? Then: You are welcome!

I picked up Subway on the way home so we could eat quickly and I could get outside and finish a few projects before big brother. It kind of worked out differently but I'm pretty happy with what I got done. Now to push and finish a bunch of things this weekend!

My goal is no snacking after 9pm. If that fails, my “hard line” is not exceeding my daily calorie limit because of it.
June: 85% 🥈
July: 84% 🥈
August: 94% 🥇
September: 86% 🥈

Lost the gold last month in the final hour due to a fit of despair over the scale not moving. Finally saw a drop. Determined to fight my way back into the right mentality. This month is going to be rough, as we’ll be traveling for 1/3 of it, but I’m here.1 -
