I want to share with you something that I use my Mini Measure all for. I don't know if this has been shared before so please forgive me if it has.

I have done weight watchers off and on for several years.... I use the mini measure all to measure out my ice cream and use it as a push-up. My hubby and kids call it a "Mommy Push-up" It helps with portion control and takes longer to eat as you are licking it instead of eating spoonfuls of it. I've shared this at several different meetings and a lot of people have been interested.
 
What a wonderful idea! I think I'll use that for my next few shows and see how it goes over.
 
Sounds like a great plan!!

I try to eat my ice cream from our prep bowls. Makes me feel like I am getting more with a "full bowl" than with two small scoops in a larger bowl.
 
I love push ups ice cream. The idea is very cute and portion controlled.

I eat ice cream from our prep bowls only because I don't like a lot of ice cream. Seems better to dirty a smaller bowl than a larger bowl!
