Last night for dinner my family had real hamburgers with real cheese on real buns, and hash browns (becuse there were't any fries in the house...HA).  I, however, resisted and had lean turkey burger on whole wheat pita with cucumber/mint yogurt, lettuce, tomato, onion and a little feta cheese.  Just as good, probably better!   

Thanks for all the input, I so appreciate it.  Stats..5'5", 157, exercise=running about 15-20 miles per week for now, will start training for 1/2 marathon at end of June, so right now I am just maintaining my mileage and trying to get my mile time down.  I do this about 5 times a week.  I have always been active, competitive swimming, couple of tirathalons, weights, aerobics.  Just last year got back into running to drop some of weight that has been creeping up.    Was able to get to about 145 last October for 1/2 marathon.  I get a fair amount of support from my family, even have designated exercise room in the home, with equipment.  Going to the gym is out of the question as we live in a kind of rural area the closest decent gym is about 15 miles away.  Just started counting calories with this site about two weeks ago but have been struggling with this for a few years now.  The journal does help, it's amazing how the calories just add up.  Calorie intake fluctuates between 1500 to 2200 a day.  Less on rest days.  Oh yeah, and I have a real bad habit of getting up in the middle of the night and eating....anything.:)  And...I have high blood pressure so I take lisiniprol (sp) with HCTZ?  Thanks for any and all help.
