im sure my tesco sell it are you sure yours is not just sold out? its usually with the mixers not the kids juice?

i lived on the stuff when i was carrying dd1 it was all i could drink without being sick

also cals are really low think its about 10 per serve or something

WanderingTrolley · 10/05/2008 16:44

What if you just squeeze limes and add water?

WigWamBam · 10/05/2008 16:47

Buy a lime.

You'd only be having a little at a time so I wouldn't have thought the calorie count in ordinary cordials would have been that high.

I would avoid the low-calorie version because of the crappy sweeteners they use, myself.

shhhh · 10/05/2008 16:48

well....Im doing slimming world and normal cordial is 3 syns and low calorie is free .

Hmm.....looked online and its not showing....

Would squeezed lime juice work..?

BTW,I wanted it as a mixer . With some Vodka and lemonade .!!!!

squeezed lime juice would def be better but if its vodka you are drinking try it with low cal sparkling lime water i used to love vodka with apple and blackcurrent flavoured water

WanderingTrolley · 10/05/2008 16:52

lol

Is that like having diet coke with your fish and chips?

shhhh · 10/05/2008 16:53

ha..!

So am I not allowed a drink when dieting..? .

Honestly means as part of my allowance a drink would be 2.5 syns instead of 5.5 .!! Means I can drink more

Although suppose I won't care if its diet or not after a few .

Of course you're allowed a drink when you're dieting.

But I also had a bit of a snurk that you were more worried about the calorie count of the lime juice than the vodka

micci25 · 10/05/2008 17:12

when i was dieting after dd1(which i really need to start doing again) i used to give myself sat nights 'off' cue take away and vodka night in mine with little sis or best mate!!! and i would just try harder the rest of the time and i mamaged to loose nearly 6 stone and was thinner than i was before i had her!!

the rule i lived by was as long as you are good 80% of the time you be naughty 20% of the time. if you deny yourself what you really want you will fail

so just drink whatever you want with your vodka and wash it all down with a big pizza and start again tommorrow!!!

for micci25 as well.

Thing is I am trying about 95% amt and am finding it so much harder than it was pre lo's...

Ben doing it since Jan and only lost 8lbs...Better off than on I suppose BUT just annoyed that I try so fecking hard and its not shifting. Have gone down 2 sizes so guess it possibly inches..

micci25 · 10/05/2008 17:19

8lbs off is better then 8lbs on though, after meeting my partner and having dd2 i have put it all back on again and more but find it really hard to lose as he is a 'feeder' according to my mum who dislikes him somehwat!!!

try exercising i walked every where after dd1 and i am sure that helped a lot i also did exercise dvd's while she was in bed or napping

and drink a pint of water before your meals to help you feel fuller

think i am just greedy, lazy and bored right now but have started a wii fit club with my sis so hopefully that will help

JulesJules · 10/05/2008 17:33

Well you could just drink the vodka neat, and bank the calories you save on the lime juice until you have enough for a Marsbar.

shhhh · 10/05/2008 18:32

now that is a good idea .!!!

Can you drink vodka and tonic with low calorie lime flavoured tonic water?

Where dieting is concerned, I make changes where possible (e.g. diet drinks), to keep having the things that are really important to me (chocolate!)

Ledodgy · 11/05/2008 08:34

Vodka and slim line tonic or vodka and diet coke/lemonade is only 2.5 syns too. I count my syns weekly rather than daily so I have 105 or less every week. I find it much easier to do it this way so if i'm having a drink at the weekend I will used say 27 syns for a bottle of wine etc as on the weekdays I tend not to have many syns.
