How tall are you? You look great! You're probably nearly done losing the weight you need to lose; give yourself more credit. Look at that very first pic with the green hair compared to you with the new tattoo. You're a completely different person!!

I still have to lose weight to a healthy weight for my height, but you just inspired me to start lifting once I get there. Like, wow. The change in your body is amazing! You look amazing! THANK YOU for posting this!!

I didn't read any of the replies, so forgive me if people said these already. Consider buying yourself, like, a DVD workout or a bike or whatever (DVDs are much cheaper, lol) so that you do not have to head to the gym. Do not be afraid to work out late. Sometimes I have to work out at 830, 9pm, but I do it. If you can wake…

OP, remember that you began your weight loss severely overweight. During your journey you built up quite a bit of muscle while you were losing all that fat, so your optimal weight is going to be higher than average because you carry more muscle (which weighs more than fat, but takes up less space). So generally, going by…

Charlie! Thane! Shane! Owen! Derick! BATMAN!

Thanks :)

It really depends on how much you have to lose. Also, if you're really unmotivated (and thats not a bad thing), giving yourself a reward for each time you hit whatever mini goal you pick is REALLY motivating. Like, for example, once you lose a certain amount of inches, you're going to get a pedicure. Or a cute new hair…

My goal is 75! I got a late start but I went two miles yesterday and now I'm all excited :)

SW: 135

Hey there! I'm Sara, and I gained thirty pounds while on the birth control Depo. I've already started dropping weight but I need to get fit! I have a terribly busy schedule so I wanted something that would tell me exactly what to do every day so that I didn't have to think too hard about it!

Okay, I'd love to do this. I need a team!

I would love to join, I have never done a GO4IT challenge. I am 5'2", just barely overweight (but huge for my size :( ) at 137, have had a completely sedentary lifestyle thusfar and would like to change that a bit. Thoughts on how many miles should be my goal?

Thank you EVERYONE. Wow this was really helpful! (I wasn't able to stick around yesterday because of work, ha.) I'm definitely going to buy a cooler first thing and start thinking about my food the day before. I definitely have trouble just wanting to say "screw it" in my ten minutes and eat a piece of left over pizza :P

Thanks! I haven't tried them. :)

I'm all the way back up to my starting weight of 127. Not exactly sure how this happened. I do have the bikini though. Looks like I won't be wearing it until August.

This week's check-in... Current weight: 122.5 :D Pounds lost since last week: 1! Pounds lost since the start of our challenge: 4.5 Question of the week: When you hit your goal will you do anything else to get bikini ready??? A wax? Or a spray tan? Or some sort of shaping swimwear???? I bought a bikini! I would like to tan…

Weight: 123.5 Pounds lost since the start: 3.5 I have seriously plateaued and this makes me sad. I ate GREAT last week. Time to SERIOUSLY start hitting the gym this week and break this plateau! How did you determine your goal weight? For the challenge? I just wanted something realistic, so I took the average 1 pound lost a…

Well, I had a terrible week last week. Lost half a pound and got so excited that I binged for four days. So... Scale said 123.5 this morning but know that I was 123 last week some time! I didn't want to weigh in this week at all, but its the first of June! So I had to! Goal is to lose 3.5-4.5 more pounds by July :D Which…

Pounds lost since last week: 0 Pounds lost since first week: 2.5 (Just realized I'm not sure what you're asking for.)

Current weight: 123.5 Total pounds lost since: 0 -I had two or three cheat days last week and only gymmed twice. Its a miracle I didn't gain. This week will be much better :) Question of the week: What's your favorite healthy and quick lunch? Vegan pizza. I buy it at Trader Joe's and it's already made up, just needs to be…

I really don't like much about my body right now. I like that I have long finders and long toes..

Thanks! This makes me slightly sad though, because I love pineapple, lol.

Thanks :) This makes me feel a lot better. I'm going to try and stay under my carb cap that they set on MFP, and just be glad that pretty much all of those carbs are the good carbs.

So true. I would LOVE for my BF to keep that **** to himself... and maybe casually suggest that we should go to the gym next week or something. But hey, you're really strong for not breaking down. If someone asked me if I was pregnant, I wouldn't eat anything for a week :P

THIS IS WRONG. I don't have a lot of time to explain this because I need to get going, but, I don't know how long you've been eating 700 calories, but with your height and weight the amount of calories you are eating puts you in a "starvation diet". Starvation diets cause the body to go into starvation mode over a period…

Thanks!

THANK YOU SO MUCH.

Mmmmm, hummus :)

Well, poop, lol. I suppose I'll start doing some research.
