are you just plain tired in the evenings?  Eating to keep going?
Crunchy food can work for mouth hunger... the proverbial stick of celery!
Can you make your evening meal a bit later? Have you tried brushing your teeth straight after you've eaten?... a few of us find that helpful. 
Just a few ideas. Good luck. 

when i just cannot stop grazing at night, sometimes i just have to go to bed.

Happy Birthday shorebird.  I've no idea what a chocolate solo is but I'm sure its delicious - its chocolate!  I haven't tried a white russian but I had a couple of Moscow Mules this weekend - they are my new favourite cocktail

Morning xx
It's not working for me. I feel a fraud. I've changed my mind. Brambling - please update my 'whatchamacallit' with 4 x  . I gained 4 pounds last week. Actually I think it was also a case of the previous two weeks also finally catching up with me. This month has been a disaster.... so far. 

That feels better (bizarrely).

Even though I am past menopause, I notice that I have the hormonal weight fluctuations...and other body functions affect what the scale says.  Don't be so hard on yourself.

Welcome Snowbird 👋 I'm sorry to hear about your son you're find us a really supportive group here  and it sounds like you have a good support network at home as well.  Did you want to set a target until the end of June 

Well done Ditty, TTB and Blue Doggy  👏👏👏  Blue just remember we're here for both the good and bad times, I was just checking in with you as I was missing your posts 🙂.  Shortbird a small gain is allowed for a birthday (happy belated birthday 🎂) mine is in a couple of weeks and I think I could also be having a solo one, I've reminded my nephew my favourite cake is his lemon drizzle so I'm hoping for a care package and hello from a safe distance and I may dig out the emergency gin and chocolate as well 🍫🍸

TTB additional 👏👏 for meeting your additional goals 🙂

Another quiet day (well lets be honest they all are 😐) but the sun was shining and I've sat in the garden until the pollen won 🤧 and my bedding got line dried, I love putting line dried bedding back on the bed it smells so good 😁 I'm another one who has used a early night to avoid eating 😕

L - chicken salad followed by fruit
D - LO lamb meatballs and fennel with rice and purple sprouting broccoli 
S - grapes

Brambling, yes, please.  I'd like a goal of 30 pounds by the end of June.  Tomorrow I'll give you April's total loss as I weigh...naked...after peeing...first thing in the morning...oh, yes, i take my specs off...and earrings...ha ha ha ha ha!

Snowbird if I take my glasses off to weigh I can't see the scales, let alone the numbers on them 😁

Monday again!  Doesn't it come round quickly when you are having fun.  Even when you are not having fun it seems
Welcome snowbird.  As everyone will tell you, this is a most supportive group.  It is also the place you will learn a whole lot more excuses very good reasons for straying from the righteous pathway than you could ever have dreamt of.

Someone put on half a pound because it was her birthday.  Sorry, can't remember who it was, and if I go back to look I will lose this post and have to throw my tablet out of the window.  HALF A POUND!!!  Are you joking?  What sort of meagre celebration is that?  Honestly, were you expecting sympathy or something?  Actually what you are getting from me is a sort of bitter envy.  I am still trying to lose the weight I put on for my 80th birthday, which I actually celebrated 2 years running.  This was because my DIL arranged a special dinner for my 80th...champagne, huge bouquets, bunting, the lot.  Unfortunately she'd miscalculated and it was only my 79th.  She has never lived that down and I am certainly not missing an opportunity to remind her of it.  We did it all again the following year.  Since then it's just the usual indulgence followed by the sackcloth and ashes diet.
I may come back later to record what I have eaten.
On the other hand I may not.
Happy days everyone.

well, i must say I am very happy this morning.  I can't/WON'T tell you have many stones I weigh--let's just say it's enough to rebuild the entire length of Hadrian's wall.   I have lost 5 pounds in this last week for an April total of 12 pounds gone.   Nothing like the fear of a heart attack to scare the hobnobs out of you!
