Not eating breakfast will make you tired and grumpy. Eating small, healthy meals every 3 hours and eating healthy food in general, is a much better way to lose weight for someone who normally eats too much.

Speaking from experience here. If you skip meals and go a long time without food, you'll crave junk food/snacks, and plenty of it. It's harder to stop eating then.

I've read some of his previous posts. He's lost 145 lbs in 11 mos. so whatever he's doing (for breakfast) must be working. That takes a lot of will power and determination....so good job 2Crowded!

About what I eat & when I eat it:

Here is an example of what I eat every day:

Breakfast- 1 banana, 1 Thick & Creamy lite yogurt, 1 boiled egg.

Lunch- 1 banana, 1 Thick & Creamy yogurt, 1 boiled egg, & a High Protien Slimfast meal bar.

Dinner- 1 big bowl of hearts of romain lettuce, topped with "Free Zesty Italian" dressing, 2 sliced boiled eggs, shedded cheese, & grilled chicken strips, I also eat another yogurt/or banana as well. In between meals I may grab a handful of raisons or a spoonful of peanut butter.

Some other dinner items I incorperate are a Turkey sandwich on whole wheat with lite dressing, or a 6 inch turkey sub from Subway, or canned corn, or 2 Baked breaded flounder that I make into a sandwich with of course Whole wheat bread.

The main thing is I make sure I never over eat.. & if I feel at all like I may have just a tad, I make myself pay for it by doing extra time on the bike. And as far as drinks go, water, water, water, & a glass of V-8 Fusion Lite. I take a multi vitamin twice a day as well.

There are lots of different flavors of the yoplait(not sure of the spelling) lite yogurt to choose from too so you can keep your taste buds happy & they are surprisingly good & good for you & they only have 100 calories each if you get the lite.

So basicly I am staying roughly at or below 1500 calories a day with the things I mentioned above, and it's working for me, it's not always fun of course, but the results make it worth it.

Good for you for posting your pic! That takes nerve. I have a very good friend Imet online, have been friends for maybe three years, and I still have only sent her a very small, vague pic of myself.

As for the weight lose thing... try exercise!
