    Today's supposed to be my rest day, but like every week, I'm bored, and I'm probably going to go to the gym anyway...

    I'm in the same boat. Yesterday I was stupid and worked out on top of rearranging furniture. Everything points to this should be a rest day, but it's too damn nice out to stay inside today.

    It is nice out, but I know I'll burn more calories on the treadmill as I can put an incline, lol. And I'm 2400 calories in the red this week (assuming I stick to my goal today), so I don't think it's going to hurt if I burn 300-400 extra calories...

    It is snowing here and I was going to use it as an excuse not to get out. However, my husband and I dug out the Playstation and the DDR pads. Burned a few calories doing that.

    Does anyone binge on "walking dead" ? I think me and my daughter have a million times lol mostly my daughter , she controls the remote.

    TWD is my husband's favorite show. He begged me and begged me to watch it with him. I just kept telling him it is not my thing. Then, after my last c-section, I was so bored I decided to just watch one episode....four days later, I had seen all four seasons. It was so crazy!

    My kids and I did not pick it up until season three, so we binge watched the first two and a half seasons.....all of us had zombies dreams a few times during those weeks, lol

    I also binge watched Breaking Bad from start to finish and I loved that show

    I love AHS too but watch it as it is on....

    I feel like people binge watch shows a lot faster than I could ever.....it takes me weeks or even months to get through a show where I feel some people do it in days......

    I binge everything. We downgraded to basic cable and watch everything online. If I have to watch something week to week these days, I tend to lose interest and forget about it for a few months. Then when the season ends, I'll catch up in a week. Now I watch tv from a lot of countries, and don't have to worry about when they're actively airing. Some are harder than others, though. Things like UK Big Brother and Australian Masterchef air 6 or 7 nights a week while they're on.

    We don't have cable just Netflix/Amazon prime/Roku channels. I binge watch everything, then get annoyed when there is nothing left to watch.

    So, speaking of feeling like a fraud... I'm down almost 37 pounds as of this morning. I'm still just above 260 pounds. I was 300 in January. What I'm doing is working well for me.

    Anyway, I haven't seen my cousin (more like a sister) in a year because she keeps making plans and cancelling. She has mentioned repeatedly that she's at her highest weight ever and I think that is the reason. We text all day everyday so we are pretty close.

    She went to see a dietician a few days ago who told her *drumroll* "eat more and eat more often -at least every two hours- to lose weight". That was her take on it anyway. :neutral:

    I just listened and felt like a fraud. I can't say "I've lost x and this is how" because I want to see her and I know that she's super self concious about gaining weight. I hope that makes sense. I don't want her to know that I'm losing while she's gaining and it make her less likely to show up. Also, I don't feel like a whole lot of people want diet advice from someone overweight.

    It's so tricky, isn't it? I have a cousin that's getting married in October, and she's mentioned off and on via Facebook that she's trying to lose weight. I never post about my weight loss, but when she posted about going down a size and how her loss has stalled, I sent her a private message. I congratulated her on her loss, confessed my own loss, and told her all about MFP in case she wanted to give it a shot to help her get to her goal. She never responded, and now I wonder if she thought I was bragging (I wasn't, I swear; I just wanted to prove that MFP works) or if she thought that I was implying that she needed to lose more weight. I was just trying to help and never would've said anything if she hadn't mentioned being stalled (implying that she did want to lose more weight). I guess it's basically a lose-lose (no pun intended) situation when it comes to talking about weight loss. :/

    Yes! You are exactly right. It is a very fine line to walk and I don't want to make things worse. *sigh* Sorry that happened with your cousin. That's what I'm afraid of happening. :(

    I watched like, 6 episodes of the Netflix Daredevil today. I was doing a really good job of only watching one at a time... Oh well.

    I watched the whole third season of American Horror Story in one night. 13 45-minute long episodes. Yep. You are not alone with the binge watching.

    Is Daredevil any good?

    I liked it. It definitely is a violent crime drama.

    I love TWD too. Best show in a long time, imo. That is if you're into flesh eating zombies. ;)

    It took me MONTHS to actually measure how much creamer I put in my coffee. For a while I lied and logged 2 tbsp for 70 calories.

    And then I stopped logging it at all. ¬_¬

    And then when I was stalling for two weeks in loss, I hunkered down and measured. 1/2 cup of creamer at a whopping 235 calories. Such a bummer!

    I had to do a week of black coffee only before I couldn't take it and switched to sugar free/fat free creamer. Now I drink more coffee and only a 1/4 cup of creamer. A 60 calorie coffee is better than a 235 calorie one. I still miss my calorie laden coffee though. :bawling:

    When I eat things like Pringles, I can't just eat the serving size amount. I eat the whole container in one sitting, even if I'm not hungry.

    Me too and I think it's designed that way, too cruel. How is it that some people take a few out and put the can or whatever away where it stays for days or weeks untouched??

    My coffee is so filled with cream and sugar that it isn't a drink, its a dessert. I measure one serving of cream and one serving of sugar in the cup then add the coffee until it is the perfect pale brown. Its not much coffee in a very tiny cup but it tastes just the way I want it. I can only have one cup a day or a won't be able to fit any food into my calories but it is worth it.

    I'm already 200 over my goal and it's only 3pm. And I've been mostly eating things that are supposed to be filling. And I'm still hungry. This week has been ridiculous.

    I was having two cups or so. I'd drink one right when I got up (hazelnut coffee with hazelnut creamer) and then put some creamer in my travel mug for work. Now I just drink tea at work.

    They provide free coffee, but it is the RANKEST, MOST DISGUSTING coffee you have ever tasted. So I just drink black tea to keep me going. And they just have generic sugar and powdered creamer that does nothing for the taste. So I just drink my black tea and herbal teas.

    I saved up 600 calories over the week in anticipation for today and all my sister had was some ham and rolls.

    I did help myself to five rolls and had enough calories left over to finish off my B&J pumpkin cheesecake pint along with the sweets I already had logged. :wink:

    I liked Daredevil. I wish the show was released the standard one episode a week because having all the episodes available at once just feels daunting and I can't stand binge watching.

    I wear Spanx ALL the time...even to the gym.

    I ate all my calories one day in the form of bacon and eggs. All. Of. Them. Won't lie, it was pretty glorious.

    So I'm now looking at 3500 extra calories this week... I'm just so hungry, I'm just not even craving anything but eating anything I can find hoping it will help... and it doesn't. I hate PMS. I'm seriously in tears over this... every single month, I end up undoing 2 weeks of deficit because of it...

    I confess to giving into food easily... I do. I do. Sometimes, I don't even try to fight it. I could be 20 lbs lighter by now, but I. Like. Food.

    And food likes me back.
