I'm boiling a batch of Yukon Gold Potatoes this evening. I took a couple of days off from the potato diet. I'll be back to eating potatoes tomorrow. I plan to check my weight again on Sunday or Monday. Some 3XL T-shirts that I was ready to throw out a few weeks ago fit me again.  Great

My houseboy will be giving me a hand preparing another batch of potatoes this evening. I'm down to 312 lbs. now.  Great

So, do you think you will be reaching Trump's weight of 215 pounds?
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

For now, my goal is to lose weight to the point in which I can walk about without the use of a cane.  Thumb up

I tried all kinds of diets: Atkins, intermittent fasting, high carb, calorie restricted ... nothing ever lasts more than a year for me, and anything I lose just goes straight back on with extra. I've never been my appropriate weight for my height, not even close.

Who knows, maybe the secret was potatoes all along? Smile

I've been off the potato diet for a few days. I had a tooth extracted last week and had to consume soft foods, like cottage cheese, for a while. I had frozen yogurt for lunch yesterday. My jaw was a bit tender for a while, but It's almost back to normal now. No hot foods for a few more days, however. I'll be back to eating cold potatoes today.  Hungry
