While skipping meals regularly is obviously not a healthy idea, I certainly think that it can be a great way to jump start a small weight loss. I've done it many times when I needed to take off just a few pounds. I often will skip dinner and then have a healthy snack a bit later in the evening. For me it's about getting the body used to being a bit hungry, so it seemed more normal. Of course it's all a psychological game for me and not so much a metabolism challenge.
Hang in there. I know how that feels to see the scale frighteningly declare larger numbers...even when I look great to others, those few pounds are yelling at me and chiseling away at my self image.
