Calories are Calories?

Tomorrow is the first official weigh in day since I have really started watching calories and attempting to lose weight.  Having a goal like Hawaii is very motivating and I am hoping to see a change.

One of the ways I am trying to amke a change is to make a simple goal every month.  Each goal will add on to the goal before and in this way I hope to make life style changes a little at a time.

The goal for this first month, was to stop eating after 8.  We have a bad habit of having second suppers or big desserts fairly late at night and I wanted to first goal to be to cut those out.  It has been fairly successful so far.  There have been a few night where a snack was eaten, but it was small and no where near the late night calories consumed before.

From my reading this goal seems to be a bit of a controversial one.  Some articles and doctors...Dr, Oz. for one, all seem to agree that eating after 8 is a bad thing and cutting out the late night eating will help you lose the weight.  Other articles say that calories are calories no matter when they are consumed.

I'm not sure who is right, or if there is a right, but I know that cutting out the late night eating has been a positive change to my lifestyle and I am hoping that will be reflected in my weigh in tomorrow....
