Thanks so much for responding -- your message is so encouraging! I really appreciate that you listed the foods you eat; that's so helpful. I, too, love potatoes and find I get the same satisfaction from them as you do. I think I was gaining because I was eating too many per day, and they were too large. I'm now eating smaller ones and fewer. Also, when I was eating the larger quantities of pots., I limited fruit to 1 per day, but have now increased fruit to 3-5.

I'll see how this works. I think I'm starting to lose weight again. I'm pretty satisfied, but my preferred way to eat is MORE starches, less fruit.
Have you struggled with the starch/fruit balance? Got any comments? Congratulations on your 3 yr success!! You've inspired me to continue.
