    Count me in! My cut off time will be 7:30 pm.

    Question? I quit smoking June 1st and am wondering how you set up your cool "box" that shows how many days you have under your belt, money saved, etc. This would really help keep me motivated. Am new to this site and don't know how to set this up.

    Thanks so much!:

    OK, so here's my update. On Friday night we went out and I had a smoothie (actually I only drank 1/2) past my cut-off, BUT I went to bed 3hrs later. So that counts, to me at least.

    Saturday was crazy and great! We went out and since we've been to more than one place, I could not order just water or tea, so I let go (very little alcohol and no heavy drinks, though). Honestly, I don't regret it :happy: - just wish it wouldn't mean I have to reset a counter :tongue: . But anyhow, I had 5 days in a row, and working now on my other counter :wink: .

    Good job everyone! :flowerforyou:

    Good job, everybody! I love reading the posts on here because they get me so motivated!

    I have done 6 days in a row, but here's the problem. I still ended up eating 2 servings of sorbet and 4 huge brownies. And that's just for dessert.:explode:

    I guess by cutting off late night snacking, I save a few pounds in the long run. But wouldn't eating bad just gain them all back??????:grumble:

    7 days consecutive so far...I need to put some effort into exercising as Ive been slacking in that area and need to get back on track. Maybe if Im REAL good for a week I can step back on the scale and get back into the swing of things...awesome job everyone is doing!!!

    7 days down and it feels so good. I haven't had too many problems and have even stopped eating before the time limits I set for myself in the beginning. It feels good to have that control and not feel like if I reach for one thing late then I've blown it and what the heck if I reach for something else.

    Great job everyone. Let's keep going!! xx

    phatphanny: I know where you're at because I've been there recently. Then being sick didn't help to keep me on track. Today is a NEW DAY for a NEW BEGINNING. Let's do this girl. You are my competition in this challenge :happy:

    7 days down.

    Hi-
    Sorry I have been absent. I have so much to cath up on - will try to read through tonight.
    Was a busy, but great, week-end w/kids visiting and also going to see my parents at their condo in CT. Yesterday I was a substitute teacher in 1st grade and I was just wiped out. My hat is off to elementary school teachers!
    Anyway, while I have been bad calorie-wise, I have stuck (just barely) to this challenge. So, I've made it through 8 nights of no-late night snacking - even on the week-end!:happy:
    Hope everyone else is doing well. I will read throught the thread tonight.

    This challenge isn't meant for those who don't eat late or eat just a little and stop right :wink: . This is meant for US! So, I'm proud of you for fighting the urge to snack late at night. Hope you're proud of me, too:

    Great job everyone!! What positive attitudes. :flowerforyou:
    phatphanny - nice to have you back this month. You and Esther and dewdrop and many of the others whose names I don't have memorized are great competition. You are all pushing me to stick with this. So far, so good.
    Welcome kgrc! This is a great group. Very motivating and supportive.
    fitgal, I have to congratulate you on resisting snacks with the family. :drinker: That is hard to do.
    Keep up the great work everyone.
