I probably told you this before, but I buy Knudson's Unsweetened Cranberry Juice or store brand which is half the price (!), dilute it 4:1 with water and sweeten with Stevia. Makes for a great low-calorie, low-carb drink. Lemonade and Iced Tea with Stevia or Monk Fruit sweetener would be good too.

I'm still doing my Fast-Five Diet. Recently started doing more low-carb and added walking 2-4 miles per day, when I can. The weight is finally coming off again. Feels great!
