I voted no. I take allergy pills and multivitamins and they always require meals or snacks.

Smaller meals/portions is great Donna,
How do you forget to eat a meal/lunch though ?
If that is the only one not bad at all.
And yes not good to skip much of anything really :)

Well then you are very good Aileen,
Happy to hear you don't since you need to have food with what you take :)

It depends...if I'm not hungry I don't eat. I have been trying to eat small portions every few hours throughout the day to keep metabolism working. I have managed to lose 5 lbs in two weeks. Hopefully I can keep this going!

No I don't skip meals to lose weight, it is very counter-productive.

Congratulations Cappy on those five pounds gone,
Wow looks like what you're doing has worked for you!
Smaller portions through out the day is wonderful.
Hope you do keep at it :)

Well forgetting is kind of understandable Mandy,
So what can you eat in between the meals for the Special K then ?
Hopefully you're doing well & will be losing in no time now :)

Nope, never did it and I don't think I'll do it. To me, if I skip a meal, I will binge on the next meal.

Great to hear Kuan,
That binging to make up for a lost meal is not good.
Like to hear you stick with what you know works well for you :)
