I’m one of those people who is always on a diet. My mother in law tells me that’s why I’m not super overweight…because I’m always conscious that I need to keep my weight in check, although I’m afraid I really get on peoples nerves with my “I’m on a diet” announcement every couple months.  I’m also VERY type A and can never start a diet in the middle of the week. It always has to be in the beginning of the week. Which brings me to this…January 1st also happens to fall on a Sunday! First of the week, first of the month AND first of the year…oh boy!! It’s the perfect storm!! I don’t see that I have a choice here, I MUST start a new diet!!

I’ve tried every diet under the sun. But the only time that I ever lost a big chunk of weight was when I joined Weight Watchers online. This is because it is not a diet…it’s a lifestyle. It took a good 8 weeks to get to where I wanted to be, but it was worth it. I was so skinny and so happy!! YAY ME!!! 🙂  Then I gradually started eating all the wrong foods again and never went back to that “way of life”. I am so busy with the blog, homeschooling, keeping up with housework and many many other things that I’m sure everyone can relate to, that I barely have time to even think about eating well. I just throw whatever is closest in my mouth, which is not always the best choice. I am now at my heaviest and want to lose at least 20 pounds (if not more!). I also want to schedule time to cook more…like EVERY NIGHT. I absolutely LOVE to cook. It is truly one of the things that I enjoy most and have not had time to do every night. Weight Watchers will force me to take the time to prepare meals and get organized…which is another one of my goals.

So, here’s the plan. I am starting Weight Watchers on January 1st. I will be tracking my progress here on the blog. I will also be posting frugal menu ideas to help us stay on track. If you’re not familiar with the Weight Watchers plan, I will start off by telling you that you can eat ANYTHING you want. There are no food restrictions; you just have to track your points. You get a set amount of points to eat every day, depending on your weight/gender, etc. and as long as you stay within your points goal for the day…you’re doing great! You will have some leeway for the entire week as well. The only downside to the program is that it can be time consuming. You need to PREPARE PREPARE PREPARE. And I am not viewing this as a downside this year, because I WANT to be prepared. I want to be ORGANIZED. I thrive on having a well stocked refrigerator and pantry with everything ready for me. The only way to succeed is to make sure that you have plenty of options at your fingertips and that you track everything you eat.

So, who’s with me?

Weight Watchers is currently offering a $29.95 savings when you sign up for the 3-month plan. So, you pay just $18.95 per month (a total of $56.85 for the 3-month plan) and you get so many tools and benefits with the online plan!

With Weight Watchers, every food has a PointsPlus value, which takes into account a food’s protein, carbs, fat, and  fiber. Using advancements in nutritional science, they’ve developed a formula that helps wrap it all up into one easy-to-use, number. You’ll get a daily personalized PointsPlus Target, so you know how much to eat to lose weight safely―while feeling satisfied. You can even earn more points by logging your exercise!

And this is not just limited to my female readers. I know I have plenty of male readers who may want to participate as well! Weight Watchers has a fantastic program for men too and you will not believe the amount of food you get to eat!

If you plan on joining me in losing weight (average 2 pounds per week)….you can SIGN UP HERE and then please LEAVE A COMMENT BELOW so I can get an idea of how many people are in! All that is required of you is that you log your weekly weight (or weight loss) with me here on the blog when I post that on Mondays. You can remain anonymous if you would like…but keep in mind that you are among friends here. 😉 We will have our own weekly Weight Watchers “meetings” and keep each other motivated by sharing our experiences and tips.

You will not be disappointed in your results!!  And I am soooooo excited to get started and to help everyone out with some great menu plans and healthy recipes!

I absolutely LOVE Abe’s Market – they provide a huge variety of eco-friendly products from groceries to toys, from beauty to pets, from diapers to fashion and so much more! PLUS, Abe’s is currently offering FREE Shipping! Woohoo!

If you’re wanting a couple ideas on what you can get on Abe’s Market, a couple months back I got this Krooom Farm Set for $29.99. It’s just made of cardboard, but it is actually very sturdy and has held up very well. Kambell uses it as an extension of her Calico Critters house. It’s the farm that the sheep family live and work on. 😉 You know how kids like to play with the box that their toys come in? It kind of has that effect I guess.

I also purchased a nice jar of Shady Maple Farms Organic Grade A Dark Maple Syrup Glass, 16.9 Ounce for $19.39. It is DELICIOUS. There’s nothing like REAL maple syrup.

If you’re looking for a great gift idea for the fellow couponer in your life, why not give the gift of All You Magazine? There’s currently a coupon for $0.50/1 All You Magazine that you can print. This magazine is sold exclusively at Walmart for $2.49, so ONLY $1.99 after this coupon.

$0.50/1 All You Magazine

If you want to purchase a subscription, just put a note inside the current issue stating that they should be expecting a subscription!

Here’s a great deal on a subscription.  Buy one 1-Year Subscription for $19.95 and you can add a gift subscription for just $5.00 more! That’s 2 subscriptions for ONLY $24.95, which works out to JUST $1.04 per issue! That’s not the BEST deal I’ve ever seen, but it’s certainly the easiest (no cash back involved) and a whole lot cheaper than purchasing it on the newsstand.

If you’ve been reading for awhile, you’ll notice I use All You Magazine in a lot of my deal matchups. If you’re unfamiliar with this magazine, let me familiarize you! All You is a must have to build up your coupon stash quickly! It is a monthly magazine that is exclusively sold at Walmart or you can order a subscription. Each month features nearly $100 worth of coupons! At this price, it might be worth it to grab a second subscription! I guarantee you will find at least ONE coupon each month that will more than pay for your subscription. In fact, the months of October and November had FREE Product coupons included!!

You may also be able to extend your current subscription. Just call the publisher a couple days after your place your order. It should be in the system by then and they can change it to an extension.
