in Challenges
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!

    I'm starting this tonight, May 2. I put May 1 onto last month mostly because I totally "Lost it" on May 1, and don't want to have to be reminded every day this month about that slip-up.

    My LNS rule - no eating past 8-8:30pm unless it's a hockey night where I didn't eat enough during the day. Also didn't finish April so here's to another chance at this!

    My no late eating rule is no eating after 7:30 Mon-Thursday and 8:30 Saturday/Sunday and holidays. I threw in the holiday addition because it’s tough when it’s a holiday and I have to cut the eating off early, esp when there’s a good chance dinner wasn’t too early!

    I swear, April killed me for everything - diet, exercise, sleeping... WTF?!? *le sigh* But I am showing signs of life - I have a pulse and am going to get new workout runners (because mine have totally died on me).

    How are you all doing?

    @feliciaboots April killed me too! Too many days of over indulging which led to a 3 pound gain!😬
    Gotta work hard this month to get rid of that all or nothing attitude!
