Unsure what to do..

deedun

I have to take medication every day in a form of a drink. I have always and will always have to take it but I never counted it in weight watchers before.

This drink works out at 345 cals per day. I only joined two days ago and I added the drink into my daily food intake but now I am unsure as to whether to keep counting it or not.

What do you guys think I should do??

wow...that kind of stinks. There is no way you can make it for less calories? I would say you will have to count it...calories are calories...and if you are taking them in...you need to count them.

deedun

No, there is no way of reducing them unfortunetly..

When I was in WW they told me not to count it but they never gave me a reason..

just wanted to say hi, im from ireland too :flowerforyou:

I would agree that "calories are calories", so I would count them. Bummer, though - that's a good chunk of the days "allowed" calories. :frown:

Wowza! :noway:

Is the medication "filling" or do you have to take it with food too?

Any way you can increase your exercise to help offset it? :flowerforyou:

Hi Realta good to see another Irish person here!! Congrats on your weightloss!!

The drink itself is not filling at all, I have to take it 3 times a day and it adds up to 345 cals. I recently changed the drink as the one before it was nearly 650 cals per day so the one I'm on is the best and its a huge drop!

In relation to exercise, I was in a car crash around 2 years ago and couldnt walk at all for 6 months so I am only getting back to walking for 20mins now and starting on the wii fit etc.. I have ordered the TurboJam dvd's and I hope my bid on ebay wins.. So I am trying to increase my exercise each day but its really hard!! I used to control my weight before the crash with exercise alone and that worked but now I suppose i'm that bit older and now 4 stone heavier (56lbs) that is really hard to shift :grumble:

I suppose the better way is to track it, least that way I know exactly where I am each day..

Oh that's really no good at all!
Unfortunately as everyone else says, calories are calories, and every last one counts.
I would add them as part of 3 meals a day, and try to find low calorie foods to eat - as a way to compensate.

OOff! Sorry to hear all that.

I guess the only thing I can suggest is to eat foods higher in protein so you're not feeling hungry in between meals.

Good luck with getting back in shape!
