Last January, I decided to do something to end my battle of the buldge...I joined Weight Watchers. It's a plan that works for me, but whatever you've chosen to do to take off and keep off excess weight, enjoying those wonderful summer "umbrella" drinks can put a real crimp in your plan (and your pants for that matter). Here's some information on one such drink and an alternative that may just be an answer to your cocktail prayers. It comes via the Hungry Girl website, which caters to WW followers, but has great recipes for any weight management program.

The average Strawberry Daiquiri contains 675 Calories! If you're female, that’s over 25% of your daily calorie intake as suggested in the US Recommended Daily Allowance (USRDA), and nearly that for males. Puts a favorite summer cocktail in a whole new perspective.
Here are all the nutritional stats in a regular daiquiri:
Serving Size: 1 daiquiri (typical serving): Calories: 675; Fat: 0g; Sodium: 17mg; Carbs: 24.5g; Fiber: 0g; Sugars: 19.5g; Protein: 0g. For you WW members, that's 14 POINTS® .
So here is the alternative, just 2 POINTS®, and still a tasty treat!
HG's Slammin' Slimmed-Down Strawberry Daiquiri
WHAT YOU NEED:
1 shot (1 1/2 ounces) rum
1 packet (two 5-calorie servings) sugar-free powdered drink mix, any strawberry blend
3 frozen strawberries
1 tbsp. lime juice
5 - 8 ice cubes OR 1 cup crushed ice
WHAT YOU DO:
Dissolve drink mix into 1/2 cup cold water. Stir thoroughly. In a blender,
combine drink mixture with all other ingredients. Blend to desired
consistency. Pour, add a straw, and slurp that baby up! MAKES 1 SERVING
Serving Size: 1 daiquiri (entire recipe): Calories: 121; Fat: 0g; Sodium: 10mg; Carbs: 4g; Fiber: 0.5g; Sugars: 2g; Protein: 0g POINTS® value 2
HG Alternative! For a virgin version, swap the rum for an extra 3 tbsp. water. Then your slushie sipper will have just 25 calories and a POINTS® value of 0. Woohoo!

Hi, There's no doubt that your website could possibly be having browser compatibility issues. When I look at your web site in Safari, it looks fine but when opening in IE, it has some overlapping issues. I just wanted to give you a quick heads up! Other than that, wonderful website!

I believe what you said was actually very logical.
But, think about this, what if you added a little content?
I am not suggesting your content is not good., but what if you added something to possibly get folk's attention? I mean "Cambridge Cooks: Strawberry Daiquiri" is kinda boring. You should look at Yahoo's
home page and see how they create news titles to get people interested.
You might add a video or a related picture or two to
grab readers excited about what you've written. Just my opinion, it could make your website a little livelier.
