I am craving a margarita.  Hungry Girl has several receipes - I will post it at the end of this.  Anyone else have any ideas - maybe even one without the alcohol since I really should not go there at this point?  (I don't like any of the Nectar stuff... just in case that's a suggestion...lol)

No, you shouldn't go there yet.

I think without the alcohol it still might be too acidic this early out. Also..115 calories? for a drink? I just don't drink my calories.

I drink the crystal light lemonade all the time - no trouble.  I also have done a diet soda here and there in the past couple weeks - no problem.  I hear you on the cals - but if we are craving something and have it once in a blue moon I don't think it's a tragedy.  I am an "all things in mdoeration" kind of person.  I am so lucky to have been blessed with a cooperative pouch. 

I hope hope hope someone has a recipe for one with ) cals - now that would be a perfect world!!!!  :-) 

Wondering if it's the lemon salt thing I am craving and should try to rim a glass a bit with salt and then put in my crystal light lemonaide with a slice of lime?  (need to get limes) 

(Note:  sodium is not a problem for me - mine tends to run low.  my doc told me to salt shake freely!)

Yes..it's your world and you can do whatever you want. I will say that there are many good reasons not to drink alcohol so early out. Mostly because your liver is working overtime trying to process all the weight you are losing.You liver is really taxed right now.

I hope you find something for your craving. Early out I craved salt because everything I was eating and drinking was sweet-yogurt, protein shakes, etc.

A salty drink that is low in calories is v-8. Maybe a pretend bloody mary?

I totally agree on the alcohol and I appreciate what you said. 

I do think I may get some lime tomorrow and try the lemon-lime hint of salt thing.  That may do the trick.

I love my crystal light lemonade and I drink it really strong.  I was/a, so tired of fruity SF stuff!

I took my son to the taco bell drive in today. The limeade drink looked good. I just looked up the nutritional info..493 calories and 49 gms of sugar. Maybe your hungry girl isn't that bad!
I have had SF torani lime syrup. I've made SF limeade with it. It was fair. It was better with fresh limes added. The lime syrup was good in ice tea though.

I found margarita flavored drink mix (sugar free) made by Market Pantry at Target. I put a sprinkle of salt in- lovely!

I was just at Wal-Mart last weekend and they have their brand of drink mix-ins (Great Value) - their newest flavor is Margarita!! Check it out - thr package had 5 envelopes each making 2 quarts all for under $2. Haven't tried it, but it might just do the trick.
