Finally, cut up a pineapple and add to mixture.

Sprinkle a little lemon or lime juice over fruit and chill. Serve by spooning fruit mixture into the hollow melon shells. Using large strawberries, poke candles into the tip of the berry so the large top can be used to keep the candle upright.

Sing appropriate song and serve in pretty bowls. Refrigerate leftover fruit.

Alternative: Pour diet ginger ale over fruit in the bowls to give some pizzazz.

Bake a dozen cupcakes, top with sugar free cool whip. Place strawberry candle holders on top of cupcakes and place cupcakes around the melon bowl. Mighty fine
YUMM-O Gwyn!!!

What is cucumber water, and yes I have started walking too! I am going to try for 6klm at least two or three times a week! The first time was tough I had not walked that far in over a year! Ever since i had a an injury to my foot. It felt wonderful afterwards even though my stiff old body took time to recover, it was well worth it!
I am going to check in here regularly for encouragement and also to report my progress!
Keep up the good work everybody!

Sure you can join. It is only the second of July. Weigh yourself today and get going! Never put off tomorrow what you can do today.
