Last month, I shared with you all about my current weight loss journey where so far I’m down over 50 pounds. I say current because I’ve tried it all over the years. While this is my most significant weight loss to date, I still have about 75 pounds left to lose. I’ve been at a stall for a few months now and a lot of it’s my fault – I’ve indulged in too many cheat days, I stopped going to the gym on a regular basis and I just got a little lazy.
I still think that 2015 is my year and I’ve got a few goals that I want to accomplish.
Weight Loss: Losing the 75 pounds this year would be amazing but even if I lose 50, I’ll be happy {Hey, even if I lose 25 this year, I’ll be over the moon!}
Fitness: I’d like to make sure that I’m working out on a regular basis – I get such a rush afterwards that I always forget why I didn’t want to go! I also have always wanted to run in a 5K. I participated in one before but it was walking and this time, I’d like to actually go with the idea of running and breaking a sweat.
Thanks to the GOQii band and app, I think I’m going to achieve those goals this year. Using your own device or the GOQii band, you’ll be able to track your activities, sleep and nutrition. You’ll even be able to sync that information to popular apps that you might already be using like My Fitness Pal. Sounds like any other health band out there, right? Nope, GOQii is so much more. GOQii integrates certified health coaches that look at the big picture of your health – they analyze your activities, nutrition and sleep habits collected by the GOQii Band and App and they help you to make a permanent lifestyle change and to help you achieve your goals.
I love that I will have someone along with me every step of the way. You can check in with your coach via unlimited daily text messages and even schedule a video chat session for face-to face motivation and accountability. Experts in the field of nutrition, human psychology, fitness and gamification will be there to help keep you on track and talk through any struggles you may face.
Users can even earn ‘Karma Points,” which convert daily goal achievement into monetary donations for global causes. So losing weight, getting fit AND helping others out? How can it get any better?

Isn’t $99 for an entire year unbelievable? I had a trainer at the gym for a few months and let me tell you, $99 didn’t even begin to cover it.
