I'm not going to let the lack of results ruin my determination, but I really deserved a minimum weight loss of 2 pounds! I guess we don't always get what we deserve *sighs*

Missy: I know they are a little expensive but you can get frozen fresh strawberries in the grocery store. I like to substitute them for when I WANT ice cream or frozen yogart, they can be a good substitute. I also use them in smoothies with soy milk. Yummy
I know they aren't free, but there times they are the better choice cheat than the ice cream I'm wanting. THey also take longer to eat.
The peaches should be on in a couple of weeks. If you choose some that the skins are loose on and peel off easily you won't need to blanch them. Cut them into 4-8 large pieces and sprinkle with fruit fresh or lemon juiice to prevent browning. Place them on a cookie sheet and freeze them. Store the frozen peaches in ziploc freezer bags. These also help in smoothies or eaten frozen.
Blue berries, cantalope and honeydew melon, cherries all do really well frozen and then stored in a bag frozen.
There is a recipe that calls for cut up fruit and fizzy diet drink - lemon/lime is my favorite, but sparkling water also works. You can mix in juice. pour into paper cups and cover with aluminum foil and insert a plastic fork, spoon or craft stick. Freeze. Best popcycles in the world!

I think your popcycle idea is a great one. I will have to try that.
I am going to eat a Tuscan cantaloupe for dinner. It is really sweet and yummy. I cannot figure out what else to eat. I probably should make something with some protein like tuna or salmon or chicken but I am not sure how I want to eat those things. I am just not feeling it tonight. LOL

I have read another article on diet drinks, the article states it's a bad as drinking soda. When my brother in law was a a liquid diet, he was not to use diet drinks. He was told they trigger eating and most of them had to much salt. If you want to add a bit sparkle to your drinks, try club soda.
