I had one more terrible crave last evening for a Margarita, :devil: I bought the light. It taste better than the original to me. If I drink a couple of those which are less than 100 calories per serving, will I still be able to lose weight. I exercise regurally and watch my calories. Any help is much appreciated. Thanks :bigsmile:

    Girl, if I didn't have a margarita every once in a while, I might shrivel up and die. And I'm three pounds away from my goal weight. So that says something, right? It's all about calories and balance... just work out more that day, stay within your calories, and enjoy your life!

    What is the sodium levels? You can loose weight but eating 1200 calories of twinkies but it won't help you have a healthy body. I would suggest making it a once a week thing of restricting yourself to just one a night.

    All I can say is: Don't fall prey to the Skinny Margarita by Bethany Frankel in a misguided attempt to save calories. So gross. Not worth it. Just split a real, delicious one with a friend. And go somewhere that makes them fresh, not with a mix.

    just know what you are eating and drinking make it fit in your daily calories and try to get your daily vitamin in there if you are going to have one of those days of nights.

    That.
    is why I skip the mixes and head straight for the tequila. Let's cut out the middle man.

    Love this!

    Seriously, I've heard that your body will metabolize the alcohol first so it takes longer to work off the food you ate. My personal philosophy is "everything in moderation."
