Here is a shortened version of a basic complete system I came up with for my clients to help with weight loss along with some basic understanding:
Eat six square meals a day, smaller to the proportion you would eat normally so your eating the same amount or just slightly higher or lower. This opts to obtaining the most metabolic structure for processing for into usable substances rather than sitting in your stomach and being converted to fat.
Watch what you put in and on your food and make sure what you are eating is organic. No added salts, sugar, no high fructose corn syrup (converts directly to fat instead of being used for energy as regular sugar). No MSG's (stops digestion) the more you do these things the better. I was eating at McDonalds almost every day for lunch and still lost because of the rest of this.
Eat fresh grape fruit (not juice) before each meal and Oolong tea or Yerba mate (green teat can be supplemented but with less effect) four times a day.
Run first thing in the morning when glycogen is at its lowest stores, before you drink or eat anything. Start the day with 10 oz. of room temp. Distilled water. Drink distilled water throughout the day (distilled water does not have chlorine or fluoride of which shuts down digestion and is bad for electrolyte balance and parasite defense.)
Eat your largest meal with most fat content before the most active part of your day, (usually morning before work, unless at an office job).
Don't eat two hours before bed. Consume fax seed oil and caisine protein directly before sleep. (Caisine is the slower digestive protein that will last all night to heal from the day. Found in nuts, peanut butter, certain protein shakes, or 4 oz. fat free milk would work as well)
Low carb. Protein before work out, high carb snack or drink while working out and sugar protein directly after (insulin receptors are creating an anabolic effect for first 20 minutes after a hard workout and will use sugar as a healing regiment.
These are the basics without going into a book about the body and functions of anabolic, catabolic and metabolic structures and how each receptor and hormonal diversities consolidate with each other.
I'm sure you have also heard muscle burns fat, which is true, but muscle also adds pounds which is why most dieting structures don't say to gain muscle and they are actually having you lose muscle while losing the fat, because they care about you seeing the results so you'll stick to it. Which is good for people who need to see the results, but not for those who can wait, cause if you build muscle first, the fat will shed off allot quicker and you'll get toned instead of just thin. How ever the process will take longer, but will be healthier.
If you would like a more personalized approach a lot more info would be needed. A lot on the best way to achieve your goal is on a psychological level of what you can handle and what you need to see to keep yourself motivated. Which is why a good personal trainer that knows what they're doing and that can really get in side your head would be helpful. It's too bad there aren't many around.

You need food for the energy. Eat snacks (healthy snacks all day), so that you are not eating meals 3 or 5 times a day. You want to keep your metabolism going and working out has already boosted it up so you are on the right track. Good luck!
You are doing great!

i have lost 50 lbs in 2 months before, but im not saying that is healthy, i also ruined my gallbladder by doing that and had to have surgery. you can eat 3, 5 10 times a day, doesnt matter, what matters is what and how much you are eating......dont believe the hype when it comes to dieting......only 2 things you have to remember, eat less, exercise more. theres no secret to it.

what eating more meals does is speed up ur matabalism. so dont stop eating. ur body is still getting used to ur comsumption pattern. comtinue to eat 5 small meal a day. 3 meals would slow ur matabalism down possibly causeing u to gain weight. so just eat a little bit, mabey a fruit salad i dono.. but dont give up sounds like ur doing really well! keep up the good work i think ull loose it in less time if u follow this advice

The healthiest way to eat is to eat when you are hungry. As long as you are eating healthy foods that are good for you and give the energy as well as nutrients that you need, eat as often as you need to. That is the whole point of feeling hungry. It is your body's way of sending you a message. The reason you are eating less is because your body is learning to use and store the energy from the food properly.
Congratulations on your success!

you probably aren't as hungry because you are eating more than 3 small meals a day. keep eating those smaller meals, so your stomach is used to having smaller meals and doesn't expect large meals.
if you really aren't that hungry, take two of those 5 meals and make them something more like a snack...maybe some grapes and some cheese. you're still keeping it healthy, but it is lighter types of food.

if you never eat, you lose weight. period.
if you eat the same calories over 3 meals instead of 5, it will make very little difference.
for the most part, your body is in the middle of an energy balance. calories in - calories burned - calories passed = net calories gained. in the form of fat....

Your ideal weight would be 115 lbs so below 95 lbs or above 135 lbs could be regarded as underweight or overweight. Your weight is excellent. If you feel fat perhaps you need a bit of toning and swimming is ideal for toning (and slimming). The more laps every day the better.

If you dont feed your body enough it will think you are starving and hold on to everything it can. You should try to eat smaller portions more frequently. So instead of 3 reg meals try 5 small ones.
