Not eating lunch and dinner is very unhealthy. What needs to be taken into consideration is what you are eating and at what times. What needs to be done is you need to eat healthy foods at proper times of the day and in moderation. What I mean by certain times of the day is for example, not to skip breakfast. Breakfast is quite possibly one of the most important meals of the day. A time to avoid eating though is before you go to sleep. Eating before going to sleep will actually put on weight.

On to exercise, drink plenty of liquids but do not push yourself in your routine. Start off slow and work your way up week to week. Start with a simple one mile. After a week, when you feel comfortable, move it up to two miles. If you find yourself breathing heavily and still sore after only one mile, do not move up to two miles as you are not ready and will injure yourself or simply not finish your run which doesn't get you anywhere. Also make sure to stretch thuroughly before and after running to prevent injury. Also try to fit in other exercises along the way such as pushups (aka: pressups) and crunches (aka: situps).

For a final note, do not weigh yourself as it is an archaic and inaccurate method of finding your body-mass index. There are many methods out there to determine your body-mass index other than weighing yourself and in many cases the BMI isn't accurate eitgher as their is a body composition and body fat conflict that must also be put into consideration. I say this because in many cases both aren't always accurate because your body may have put on weight temporarily through any of the following:
a.) Water retention: This is a major diet demoralizer. More people have screamed "I PUT ON WEIGHT!" when it was actually just water. Water goes in and out, it isn't fat.
b.) Put on muscle mass: Fat to muscle, it happens. I gained a lot of weight from distance running despite me running 6 miles and up as a daily routine.

Hope this helps.

If you want to lose weight and to keep the result, you should train a lot
(swim, skate, do special exersises) and NOT TO EAT AFTER 6 P.M. Change all your lifestyle.

Please BE CAREFUL!

Acording to nutritionist the maximum weight a human can lost is 750 gmr per month. If you lost more, you are on danger to suffer a big problem: deshidratation, or anothers.
I�m fat since I was born. My first weight was 5.500 KG all my life is on diet, and sometimes I got to lost 10 kg, but after lost them I got them in a short time. Loose weight mena think in a new model of life.
It is wrong to miss breakfast or dinner, the first is the most important meal, the second is important to not to get wight untill night.
My advise is Take the three formal meals until the day, and two healthy snakc untill the day (I mean fruit).
Do excersice all days and think that if you want to be thin this will be you new model of life. On the contrary when you got losse the 10 kg very soon you would be able to gain weight again.
Please BE CARFULL, step by step is better.
A GOOD FRIEND

The answer is very simple: excersize daily, don't eat junk food and eat healthy foods.

I think it works when you eat low fat food, at least I have tried and it worked pretty well.
don't eat anything from potatoes, dishes from flour, meat-just chicken without skin, and no sweets.Also it really helps not eating after 18:00(well if you're starving you can have orange or apple).Sounds cruel, but can start slowly,at first refuse sweets, than potatoes and so on.
enjoy such meals as yoghurt with fruits, with flakes, salats, curd with nuts and rasins,or with yoghurt, fish dishes.
Well and the worst thing at the end-when you start eating healthy you can't stop,it must be your life style,or weight will come back, even with some (or not just some) more kilos...

hello to everybody !
Also trying to lose my weight -10 kilograms exactly. But I�m lazybones. 2 years ago I put on weight. Did everything to become a slim girl again � wrote a special plan of my own !
Here I read a lot peaces of advice. Going jogging, drinking much liquid, putting on muscle mass, avoiding sweats, chocolates and ets. at meals and eating more fruit, vegetables, keeping to a diet, training a lot at home and fitness clubs and some others. Have tried all this. It doesn�t work. If I lose 4-5 kiloes then I put on 6-7 kiloes again. It�s terrible !
Quite understand you. But you said you want to lose it in a month or so. Don�t you afraid of that losing weight in such a short time will cause putting on much more weight soon again ? as it happened to me.
I think the problem isn�t in losing weight itself but in Believing in it. And it�s hard to believe in your efforts when you are alone and nobody encourages you. Right?
So my Idea is that- to unite our efforts. Those who want to grow thin � let�s do it all together ! Let�s encourage each other on the internet , sharing how to do it in the best way and sending e�mails to get know how things go on. Think this is possible.
I�ll be glad if you write me. My e�mail- [email protected]

I don�t agree with Hank898989. You don�t have lunch, dinner and you want to lose weight 5 kg per month. There are unhealthy for 3 reasons.
First, lunch is very important. It is the house of your energy, that you use in all activities. Do you know only you breath you use much energy?
Second, you need to have dinner. Only eat some fruits, that aren�t sweet. For example, apple, orange and guava. If you have dinner before 4 p.m. can burn all energy before your bedtime.
Finally, you want to lose your weight 5 kg per month. It is more weight lose. You will have � yoyo effect�, that mean your weight will come more than your weight now after your diet.
In conclusion, if you don�t have lunch, dinner and lose more weight, it is very harmful for your health. The good ways can lose your weight and safety are exercise at least 30 minutes a day (Thai government suggest their people to exercise for good health), drink pure water 8-10 cups a day, eat more nutrient food, decrease sugar in your food, don�t eat more carbohydrate such as bread. If you can follow my instruction, you can lose you weight 2-4 kg per month and good for your health. You needn�t believe me but you can test with yourself.
What do you think about the way to lose your weight?
