Yup.. Deb said just about what I was going to say. 97% ground beef. I use wonder light bread(I like the patty melt thing).. And then a burger doesn't end up with more calories than a sandwhich.. Pretty tasty.

Good point. The hourglass shot pourer thingy(if they even use it) has two sides the pony and the jigger. The Pony is just an ounce and 64 cals The Jigger is 1.5 ounces and 96 cals And there are many bartenders that I know who do a generous eyeball.. Great for your pocketbook.. Bad for your diet.. :) Nice point.

I like your reply to this Carrie. About treating the scale as "information" rather than doom(assuming your doing stuff right). I'm a gifted water retainer and it makes weighing myself sometimes illogical and other times just plain depressing. It's good to see things in a different angle. HotSoupGirl

You're an inspiration. Way to go for doing something amazing! -HotSoupGirl

Hey, I love em'. But I didn't until I got the right recipe. This isn't the lightest recipe on earth, but it's a great "intro to shiritaki". Also get the Tofu Shiritaki noodles. They are a little less "rubbery" and only a few more calories. 1. Get two bags of noodles(I like the angel hair, but that's a personal preference)…

Apologies, about the Dames part.. I forgot to check your profile.. I see your a dude.. So it should read "What healthy Dames and Dudes we can be" HotSoupGirl

Hi JP, Thanks for the warm words. Glad to hear that the calorie thing is working well. I'm hoping the same luck will rub off on me! Congrats on the 15 pounds, that's a big accomplishment. The holiday stuff kicks everyone's tail. I'm glad we're friends now! Let's take a deep breathe and show the new year what healthy dames…

Hi Gals, I'm a busy girl also looking for some friends on this whole strange dieting thing. I'm a fairly recent divorcee(that word still feels strange) who works too much looking for fast meals, weightloss and a feeling that I'm in good company! HotSoupGirl
