Is anybody having 2-3 meals instead of 5-6 and still fit?

I think people confuse what 5 meals per day means. Snacks count. It only meant to eat so that you are never super hungry. It will help increase your metabolism and help keep you from overeating througout the day. Meals are meals, regardless of the food or the time of day you it them.

This. In most cases, the extra 3ish "meals" are what most people call "snacks." I think the nutrition/fitness people wanted to get away from the "it's a snack, so I can have Twinkies" mentality by making people equate the extra eating times with the stereotypical "meal."

If you have three meals and two snacks, you're still eating 5 times a day.

That said, if it works for you, go for it, regardless of whether that "it" is 3 meals a day or 12. What matters is that you eat when you're hungry, but not ravenous, so that you don't end up binging. If you aren't ravenous on 2-3 meals a day, and it's working for you, then stick with that.

it's hard to snack in office healthy (people think you are an idiot while you eat a carrot or a cucumber)

Well I think your co-workers are idiots, so it balances out.

^^ Brilliant. I don't care what my co-workers say or think...i'm making healthy choices while they're on high blood pressure meds

You can of course lose "weight" by cardio alone, but Strength/resistenace training will shape your body.On cardio alone, you will sacrifice water, Muscle and fat. Strength training on a calorie controlled diet slows down the loss of muscle/preserves muscle mass. DEFINATELY something i would recommend strongly from personal experiences.

8 years ago i was around 17.5 stone, lost a lot of weight quickly, down to around 10.5/11 stone within 6 months or so.
I was happy at first, but i made it very hard for myself to "tone up" as i was skinny fat, as people call it. i had lost a large amount of muscle mass and was a size 30 inch waist but withNo definition, just a bag of bones and skin really.
I have been working with weights on and off since, but have been following a good diet and solid resistance training program for around 6 months now and definately have a lot more definition and muscle mass.
im now a 32 inch waist, 13% body fat, 13 stone 6lbs.
My whole point in this is saying dont wait until youve lost loads of weight and then build up. Why not start preserving muscle mass now as over all it will help you all along the way and once youve reached your maintanence level.
It will make it a whole lot easier!
