    I was just talking to a coworker about how I exercise nearly everyday, eat so good during the day then eat a whole days worth of calories nearly at night and wonder why I'm maintaining instead of losing! lol I was in denial till I saw this thread.
    Better late than never! oh, wait, no, no late night that's right!! Count me in!!

    i am horrible late night grazer!!!! so to help this rather than saying i CAN"T eat i plan a snack and thats it, something like strawberries and sugar free chocolate pudding snack cup!!! or 100 calorie pop corn!!! this has helped me TREMENDOUSLY!!!!
    really good advice, i have loads of healthy snacks that are under 100 cals, but i grab choc, crisps etc, then feel guilty for eating them and end up eating more junk cos that silly man living in my head says 'well you've blown it today, might as well eat more' (i wish he'd move out, lol) starting tomorrow this will be my new challenge, saving 100 cals from my allowance so i can have a snack and not want to kill myself!

    Having a set calorie limit is really a good deterrent to LNS for me, it seems. Helps that my doctor is holding me accountable, too. :-)

    And it wasn't just snacking, it was a BINGE. But I recorded everything in the food log and got a good look at why I had gained so much weight prior to changing my eating plan. My calorie total for Saturday was TWICE the number of my actual goal.

    If that isn't reason right there to stop the late-night binges, I don't know what is. So time to suck it up and get back on the horse!!!

    Had a 1/2 an 1/2 week.... I snacked the other times too but I had enough calories to cover them....
    One GOOD thing is it has went from 11:45pm snacking (after going to bed) to 10pm snacking (which is BEFORE I go to bed) ....
    baby steps... baby steps.... to getting rid of it
    AGAIN!!

    Had some bouts with LNS this past week. Big stressors going on, but has since passed. Me 3...LNS 4


    Feeling more confident for the now and the future, which is all that matters!

    Did not post over the week-end. While I did not have late night snacks I also did not eat well during the day so not sure I call it a victory. Monday is a new day and a new week and no snacking tonight!

    I am very late to this party but would love to join. I am trying to break the habit of eating when I wake up in the middle of the night, especially. Thanks. :)

    I've had a small bowl carb smart ice cream the last two nights and the scale hasn't changed. Yippee!

    Oh, LNS is the bane of my existence! I'm so good during the day, and all that will power is thrown out the window around 8:30-9pm. I actually will walk into my pantry, stand there, and eat handfuls of whatever I can grab (popcorn, cereal, crackers, pretzels) for 5-10 minutes straight. I can't even determine what portions I've eaten, because I keep telling myself "one more handful, just one more!" the entire time.

    Sigh.

    I'm in.

    Tonight I have restaurant club...so, it is likely tougher that I won't be eating late. But, we'll see!

    Hi-
    Very stressful time right now so I haven't been logging on.
    I think I've been sticking to the challenge more often than not, though, and it's helping. Good thing since my son's wedding is in 9 days!!!

    I am definitely in. Late night is one of my worst times, especially for the unhealthy foods. I love that there is this group formed.

    Ok I'm on board but I don't know what the rules are...is it just keeping track of the nights I win vs. eat late??? That's always been one of my big downfalls...I used to get up in the middle of the night and eat but I don't do that anymore thankfully. I've made so much progress but late nights for a night owl is challenging...thanks for any feedback!!
