I'd rather work out in the evenings now than lay down and watch a move :) I don't think I utilized my netflix membership once in the last month.

I'm proud of me!

    Honestly, there wasn't much I liked on there anyways, it was just an excuse to lay on the couch after the kids went to bed. Now I can do the elliptical instead.

    I've never used mine excessively, but I have terrible insomnia spells so it's something to pass the time quietly. Several times I've thought of discontinuing the service but then I get a week or two where I can't sleep at night for anything and I end up keeping it.

    I am finding myself in a similar position. I am not remotely interested in trying to watch any movies on netflix. The "couch potato" has left the building. Since starting this journey, my new mindset loves seeing the changes my body has been going through with the weight loss and it is directly a result of my increased activity.

    I love netflix. I watch an episode or two while working out on my elliptical and it helps the time fly by!

    I use mine a lot! There are workout dvds that I like to do. I also use it for when I'm on the elliptical at the school gym. I'm currently working on catching up on How I Met Your Mother. Started watching it when I was recuperating from surgery and now I'm hooked! LOL We definitely get our money's worth!

    I would give it up not because it made me lazy (because it didn't...they had some exercise videos on there too that I would borrow) but because I would need the money. I already cut out the 1 dvd out a month. If things get tighter then yeah Ill probably have to put my membership on hold. You could watch netflix whilst on your elliptical. It has a good selection of shows I like so thats my take on it.

    I love Netflix. The streaming sucks though. I get the DVD's and watch movies all the time. For streaming, I am currently watching Lost. Love it. I could not live without NetFlix because I got rid of Satellite TV because it cost me freaking $100/mo. What a waste. Got rid of that crap, and now I have NetFlix, which is less than $25/mo.

    i agree the streaming sucks. I like their DVD selection but I just leave them around the house and then "force" myself to watch the movie like a month later. and now that they charge for both services, its not worth it to me. i think I'm gonna cancel and start using red box (thats the name, right?)
