Not eating b-fast and lucnch makes your metabolism SLOW. So when you do it, you put on weight fast. You shoudlnt have those 2 snacks. Thats just stupid. And thats why your fat.

It doesnt sound like you eat enough calories, if your body doesnt get enough, it will hold onto the fat it has, and you wont lose weight. And you must space out your calories. Studies have shown, people who eat breakfast weigh less. NEVER skip a meal, it is really bad when trying to lose weight.

Hey danielle, first off, you MUST eat breakfast. if you don't have time then grab a banana or a breakfast bar, but you have got to give your body something to function on. i think the reason that the weight is stubborn may be because you're eating all your calories in the evening... it's always better to have a huge breakfast than a huge dinner. so i suggest putting some effort into controlling urself after school and at dinner, and don't skip breakfast, it's just not good for you. good luck!
