Since June had such a good following, I thought I'd start a July thread.

My cutoff time is still 7 PM and that means I will not snack after that time. And I succeeded last night, so I'm:

Me: 1
LNS: 0

No haters here please--if you want to eat until midnight, that's your choice. Let those of us who want to avoid late night binging and ruining our otherwise clean record for the day with junk, do this challenge in peace.

    Late snacking is my biggggest problem. I can be good alll day, and even excercise. And then those cravings for snacking just take over and then I turn into a monster, and sabotage the whole day. After reading your post and some of the other members, I vow not to snack tonight and join you with no eating after 7pm. I will start a count too, of how many "no snacking" evenings I can complete.

    So far so good.

    I applaud your self control!!

    I am most hungry when trying to go to sleep and will snack just so my belly rumblings dont keep me awake!!

    I havent been doing this diet thing long enough to go without the snack but am trying to make it healthier rather than crisps and sweets, swapping for carrots or a small peanut butter wholemeal toast.

    Best of luck and i will keep an eye out for good tips ;)

    I read you should stop eating 3 hours before you go to bed so this should work for me!

    I am coming over from the June thread where I did really well for the first couple of weeks, then had a piggy weekend. So starting from July 1st (which being as its the first day of the second half of the year I almost see it as a New Years Resolution).

    So far so good

    Me: 2
    LNS: 0

    And as I am quitting unnecessary snacking in general I will score that too here

    Me: 2
    UN: 0

    Good luck everyone :drinker:

    i think i'll try giving this a go too! I usually try and leave enough allowance for a small snack after dinner, say near 9pm, usually a healthier cereal option.

    So going to set a cut off of 10pm initially as often go to bed at midnight but try and keep anything after 9:30pm at a minimum.

    gmukris, :flowerforyou:

    I am staring late, but I am definitely in!

    Cut-off is dinner. In other words, I do not want to eat anymore after I put my baby to bed.

    Good luck, anyone! Waiting for June's determined bunch of people to keep this going in July!

    Yay. I've cut back majorly on sugar too, so no cakes or puds until at least during or after my hols which are two weeks away.
    Well done everyone. Going strong.:wink:

    I'm so bad for this, getting into bed and feeling a little hungry so I can't sleep so grabbing a bag of crisps !

    I'm going to set my cut off time at 9pm, or 1/2 hr after exercising ..
    I sometimes have exercise classes which go on till 9.30 so I will allow myself to eat something healthy within half an hour of the class if I need it :)

    Sunday night I failed but otherwise I've done ok !
