    I am just having a hard time keeping my night time eating under control. I am doing short weight work out everyday. Most day going for a walk.

    @Irene1292113 If night time eating is an issue for you (it is for many people!) I recommend digging deeper into what is causing you to overeat late in the day. When you get the urge to get up and grab a snack, sit with that urge for a minute and see if you can figure out what you're feeling that is making you want to eat.

    Are you tired? Bored? Thirsty? Actually still hungry? Avoiding going to bed?

    ... and then see if you can find other ways to satisfy whatever need is at the root of the behavior. Society teaches us to use food as a cure-all -- but if we can learn to sleep when we're tired, find something interesting to do when we're bored, drink water when we're thirsty etc. (instead of eating to fix all our issues) it can make a big difference.

    Similarly, if you actually get hungry close to bedtime, you might try spacing out your meals differently; changing your diet, so you don't run out of fuel; drinking water first if you get hungry after a certain time of day; or going to bed earlier... and see if that helps.

    If the first thing you try doesn't work, keep experimenting... it can take a while to figure things out. It can be helpful to write down what you are testing, and what you learn in the process.

    @AnnLang219 Way to go on your progress so far! I love your January plan, I think you have this handled <3

    I was just going to invite you to the Ultimate Accountability Challenge, but I see that you already asked to join for February, yay! I sent you an invitation to the January edition. I hope you will join, because there's no reason to wait until the new month :) You can get started right now if you're ready (and it sure sounds like you are!). Hope to see you over there soon.

    My name is Donna. I am 64 years old and I live in the Midwest of the US. I am 5’ 5” tall.


    CHALLENGE STARTING WEIGHT (FROM Dec 31st): 192.6
    CHALLENGE TOTAL WEIGHT LOSS GOAL: Total Loss of 12 pounds to land at 180.6
    CHALLENGE ENDING WEIGHT: xxxxx
    TOTAL LOST IN THIS CHALLENGE:

    Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!
    250’s; 240’s; 230’s; 220's; 210's; 200's; 190's; 180’s; 170's; 160's; 150’s

    Weight in blue makes me blue because it’s a gain. Weight in fuchsia pink makes me feel cheery because it’s a loss. Weight in black means no change.


    01/01-193.4-(Trend Weight: 192.9)-

    01/06-193.0-(Trend Weight: 192.9)-

    01/13-191.2-(Trend Weight: 192.4)-

    01/20-193.2-(Trend Weight: 192.9 It’s been a rough week! Meals have been good but night time snacks have been downright outrageous! I can’t blame social engagements or special occasions or travel. I’ve mainly been at home. I can do better! I’m posting late but this is my accurate scale weight and trend weight on the 20th. The emotional eating needs to stop! I'm only trying to lose 4 lbs per month (12 pounds total for the challenge). Here I am just trying to get back to my starting weight. Disgusted with self today but I'll keep on trying because I'm not a quitter.

    01/27-191.4-(Trend Weight: 192.7)- A nice drop since last week and less than my January start weight, but in all honesty, most of this drop has happened overnight. We’ll see over the next few days if it sticks. Enjoy your week my friends!
