I weigh myself everyday, before I begin my workout and I just saw my scale register 181.2!!!!! I got on the scale 8 times too, just to be sure. My Body Fat% is still 31% (down from 46-47% a month and 13 days ago), but I have been registering my weight-loss as it comes. Some days, none, most day .02-.04% down.

WOW, this is so thrilling for me. The last time I lost an entire pound was the last time I ate a baked potato. I had one last night (no vegan butter, nothing but the potato and I had it with a Stuffed Red Bell Pepper, stuffed with Trader Joe's no beef beef. It was so delicious, I called that dinner my NOT Big Mac hamburger and NOT fries, because that what the red bell pepper tasted like with the beef and that's what the plain potato tasted like--just like fries--only BETTER and I eat the whole potato, skin and all. WOW...I'm down another pound and I'm THRILLED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Bumping because it's happening AGAIN!!!

    I ate a little more than half of a potato last night (I couldn't eat the whole thing, because the HUGE fabulous salad stuffed me to the gills). And Viola (Thank ya Jesus) I didn't lose a whole pound this time-- I lost .04 pounds and now I'm in the 170's baby...179.8

    I'm going have another one tonight:laugh:
  • Maybe that's why I seem to be doing quite well with the weight loss - I eat a potato for luch 3 or 4 times a week :P

    I am going to Longhorn's tonight and just order 10 baked potatos and eat them all. If I do this 3x a week, I will completely disappear in 7.5 weeks.

    SHEESH! I need some potatoes RIGHT NOW!
    I'm going to do research, because potatoes are good, but they're better when you know you'll lose weight eating them!

    Are you high?

    I'm sure not low (I hope you aren't either :heart: )...but if you mean anything foolish like drugs or alcohol--absolutely not. If you are meaning high as in elated that everything I have ever heard or read steers me away from potatoes as super fattening or bad for me, well I am high/elated that I'm doing seemingly everything "wrong" in the weight-loss "business" and the pounds and inches are melting off of me like crazy.

    Thanks for asking though and have a beautiful day my friend:flowerforyou:

    P.S. Also, my body fat percentage went down as well too--so now I'm 30% body fat--talk about high:laugh: WOO HOO!!!!

    Name search:

    Felice is a Italian boy name. The meaning of the name is `Prosperous, Joyful`.

    Well, I am from the southern United States, and down here "Felice" means 'I "heart" hookers & blow'. I definitely like the southern interpretation better.... ;-P

    Hmm some not kind posts on here.

    A Jacket spud is an EXCELLENT food. It fills you up, keeps you full and is very high in fibre if you eat the skin. That might be the trick to it.
    Spuds ahoy!
    Well done OP. im glad you are a happy bunny :flowerforyou:

    I ate 2 potatoes yesterday and this morning weighed 1.6 lbs less.

    IT MUST BE TRUE.

    Actually, the coincidence here makes me giggle. :D yay for potatoes, the magical diet food of wonder.

    Screw dieting for months, just eat however much weight you need to lose in potatoes.
