Best answer
I always lose better when I eat a lighter dinner “Breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince, dinner like a pauper” as the old saying goes

No, I don’t believe that. Or the stopping at a certain time every night. I have a snack at night every day and I’m losing very consistently. Weighed in this morning and lost 3. 4 lbs last week.

I think you would lose weight faster switching those two meals.

I have wondered if this would help, but i usually feel tired after a big meal and i would probably get the munchies in the evening. have always eaten main meal at night even when a child (mother cooked for when my father came home from work and all the family were together)

Faster? WW is a alow process not a race. It doesn't end once you reach your goal weight and Lifetime. Keep your expectations reasonable and realistic or else you'll burn out, get annoyed and quit.

I understand exactly how you feel. I was the same way and kept quitting because it was taking SOOO long. However once I decided not to quit and keep going no matter how many gains and loses I had. I reached goal in a year. 26 years later still work hard at it every day. Just breathe, follow WW guidelines and remain persistent and consistent. You'll ge there.

I wish I could, but I bring things for lunch and don't have time to stop and eat it, so I end up munching on carrot slices in the afternoon, then starving when I get home at 6:30

What ever works for you and your family is what you do meal wise— we are retired so ours is breakfast, main meal lunch and a very light supper.

When I was in WW a long time ago, I remember this question being asked. They said eat when you are hungry. Someone was saying they always wanted cereal right before bed. They said it did not matter what time you ate it.

For sure. The old adage, “Eat like a king at breakfast, a prince at noon, and a pauper at dinner. ”

@

I wasn’t because I don’t eat lunch and dinner until late but that’s what I am going to try with the new lite dinner plan. so maybe 7-7. we will see. it’s all a trial and error. I have been peri menopausal for almost 6 yrs. so my body truly has a mind of its own . even with clean eating for so many years the weight still keeps coming. but I am determined to keep trying
