I don't necessarily agree with everything you suggest, but I think I'm headed in the same direction. I can't skip lunch and stay focused, but I am eating less at lunch and trying to graze more often throughout the day.

But remember the challenge for weight-loss is NOT getting there, it is keeping it there. My tips: 1. Cut out ALL sugar, switch to splenda sugar instead.(immd. 3-5 lbs within 10-days) 2. Cut out as much bread as possible. Includes (crackers,snacks,chips,pasta,etc..). In the case of sandwiches try to use 100% whole wheat. 3. Cut out lunch all together (go cold turkey),try it,for 2-3 weeks. Have a decent breakfast like oatmeal,Cereal, or poached eggs with a multi-vitamen. Then maybe a snack like a powerbar,trail mix bar around 2pm, (no vending machine junk) and drink plenty of water. 4. Have a regular dinner with the family. 5. Keep up the minimal exercise that your time allows; use stairs instead of elevators where possible. 5. I am sure that these tips will profoundly help you get to your goal of weight loss. Good luck.

Of course, I did struggle for a bit after I started, as noted by the sudden weight gain in week 2 :) If you only knew how geeky I was :) The chart is actually a rolling three-day average to smooth out anomalies (in case I have a weird jump in either direction).
