To credit my 18lb weight loss since 4th Jan to....

[Saladdays]

..... the amazingly delicious Vivaldi potato.

Also known as the weight-watchers potato - delicious even without butter. A godsend and I don't even worked for them (tho' willing to be brand ambassador for a fee)

DH has lost 18lbs too! (we're even starting to look thin!)

..or maybe it's because I've stopped BFing (no excuse for DH)

What is that? Just a type of potato or a way to cook them?

It's worth a try! Going out to get some tomorrow!
PS Congratulations on the weight loss.

Oh this sounds good, congratulations on the weight loss! I have lost around a stone in a month but still need to do more and every little helps

congratulations but

I need some of this potato, what is it?

Stumbled accross them at Sainsbury's. Delicious! Creamy without the need to slather in butter. M&S have some called Chopin ... I suspect they are the same but maybe Sains asked for an exclusive??

Yummy steamed or baked.

Fish poached in lemon and seasoning is my latest investion. Also delicious.

whoops. invention.

Really? am intrigued. I need some. I can't bear another dry baked potato.

So what do you do, just eat this potato and nothing else? What do you have on it? I'm confused!

We have the Vivaldi potatoes as part of the meal (with steamed or (lemon juice) poached fish, steamed broc & carrots or a salad. No butter or cheese on the pots - they are yummy enough without.
We've swapped snacks with freshly made popcorn (yum) and dropped bread..... but I actually look forward to having the potatoes!!!

I love these too. Anya (Sainsburys) are nice too. Mmm, potatoes.

Eccentrica, vivaldi are salad-size potatoes, you can't bake them!

was just doing my online shop and thought i would try these, they do sell baking size ones - 4 for £1 at the moment. I assume they are the same potato as the are called vivaldi.

OMG 18 lbs in 7 weeks. What did you do just eat the potato, plain, every day? Please tell me. I have slightly more than 18lbs to drop.

Sorry just read the thread and you have explained what you do.

lol, yeah i was hoping it was a miracle diet! Have ordered some though, sound nice. If i could drop 18lbs i would be very very happy

blonde is entrigued - as are the others on mn weight loss thread

this potato really tastes nice without butter,whether mashed/jacket/boiled?

well done on weight loss - thats a fab amount since jan 10

I bake 'em, (even if small - just select the bigger ones), boil 'em and steam 'em. Haven't mashed 'em as I fear the temptation to dollop in butter / cream / milk / cheese would be too much!
(My Dh has lost 22lbs!!).. he's also given up his beloved Stella Artois!

I never put butter on my potatoes but am still 2 stone overweight...

lunch is always my downfall, a sarnie is always too easy!

I thought you were saying you had started snacking on "dropped bread" and was going to ask why dropping it made it better for you?

Be careful about the end of breastfeeding, though! You seem to think it keeps the pounds on, but my experience was a sudden increase in weight, as I had got used to eating as I liked! Woe betide me.... You are wise to be seeking Slimmer Spuds!

They are indeed lush. Another big fan here. They have a smooth texture, are very slightly waxy, which imvho always makes for a better baked potato.

Estima and Marfona potatoes are similar but not quite as nice.

gingernutlover - great! Will try some of the baking ones too then, if they do them in my local.

(have just lost half a stone and struggling with it a bit now!)

Looks like it's not just the taste, they are lower in calories and carbs too!

They sound too good to be true!

Navyeyelash - I have a chunky / thick soup (no bread ) at lunch - I have to have this early (noonish) or else I start snacking. In fact we have the eve meal pretty early too as we were both chomping on anything that wasn't nailed to the floor around 6pm.
