Why I have mixed feelings about “Extreme Couponing”.

Have you been watching the new TLC show Extreme Couponing? I’ve only watched some clips online, and have mixed feelings about it. I think that it is great that it has helped make couponing a bit more “trendy” with all of the attention. I also like that it does share some great tips and tricks, and I’ve learned a lot of new stuff.

What I don’t like is the “extreme” focus of the show. I mean, how many people really have the time and effort to spare that it would take to leave a store with $150 worth of stuff for $5 or $10 bucks, really? And even if you could find the time to do it once, this isn’t really very realistic. This is why…

The average household couldn’t spend that much time on a weekly basis just to get their food free. Plus, another big problem that I see is that the things that they purchase are not going to work to make meals each night, you know? I understand that they probably stockpile their great buys, and put them together with other products… But you will still need to have “regular” grocery shopping trips to get needed ingredients and produce, right? Plus, it seems rather greedy to wipe out whole shelves in the store, leaving nothing for the next mom that comes through with a coupon.

So, as I said, I have mixed feelings on this. What do you guys think?? I’d love to hear your thoughts!!

AND…. If you’re reading this, you’re probably a coupon junkie too, so here is a list of new coupons you can get today!!

{Hey Mommas!} Which Diet Plan Works For You?

I had my first baby, a little girl, last July. I ate really healthy, and did Yoga through most of my pregnancy, but managed to gain over 60 pounds while I was pregnant! Wooo.

I lost a lot of weight really quickly in the first two months… Probably because my little one took so much work, and I was so sleep deprived, that I nearly forgot to eat! And I know everyone says, “It takes 9 months to gain the weight, give it 9 months to take it back off.” Ok, fair enough.

Problem is, my little one is now 8 1/2 months old…. And momma still has about 20 extra baby-baggage pounds on her hips!! So, I’ve never used a diet plan before, and I eat pretty healthy, but I think I need to up my game here. Our new house has a pool, summer is coming, and I need to be ready :)

I’m really familiar with Weight Watchers, but not so much some of the others. Here are a few I’m thinking about, and I’d love it if you guys could give me your opinion if you’ve used them. I found all of these on some deal sites, with really great promotions, so I added the info too in case any of you ladies is looking for a new plan too.

Here are some of the options:

I am amazed at how hot Suzanne Somers still looks, so I suppose that is part of what drew me to this one, lol. This is what you get:

“100s of recipes, Calorie Calculators, Weight Tracker, Personal Journal, and more. Start Losing Today! Your first 7 days are FREE! Just $4/week after that.”

I’m a big fan of her show, and think that this might be a plan that I could stick with. I also like the fact that she used to have weight issues too, so maybe she is a bit more realistic. The Jillian Michaels plan says:

“You’ll get all the tools, support, and motivation you need from my customized online program. It’s Customized based on your body type, fitness level, and goals – you’ll get a customized weight loss program designed for maximum results. Your first 7 days are FREE! Just $4/week after that.”

I’ve heard a lot of really great things about The South Beach Diet from my friends who have used it. It sounds really fresh and healthy, which I love. Here are the details on this one:

“Get your own customized Meal Plan Tools to track your weight, phase, and diet goals 24 hour online support and community WEIGHT LOSS RESULTS! Your first 7 days are FREE! Just $4/week after that. “

So, now how to decide??

As you can see, the prices are the same for each one, so that doesn’t help me narrow it down! :) I’d love to hear from you guys… Have you used any of them? Or are any of you planning to get started with one of these diets?

Maybe if a lot of you are using the same plan, I can go with that one, and can do a set of posts with everyone’s experiences, to help keep us all motivated?? I’d love to hear some weight loss stories to help keep ME motivated, thats for sure. You know how hard it can be to focus on yourself after you have a baby demanding loads of attention :)

Also, if you have any other suggestions, or tips, or, well, anything you think will help me get my old pre-baby booty back in time for summer, leave me some comments!!!
