Welcome to the next challenge!
This one will run from Valentines day to Easter, so from February 14th to March 27th. Everyone and anyone can join this challenge in which we all set our own weight loss goals, this gives us 7 weeks in total to work towards them!
This group of lovely people provides encouraging support and words of advice as we all share our experiences, good and bad. It has proved beyond helpful to myself and many others as we become healthier and achieve amazing things.
To be part of the challenge you start by posting your initial weight stats and what you would like to achieve by the end of the challenge. You can then check in as often as you'd like with a weight update, to share a story from your week or start a conversation about a topic you'd like some advice on.
So excited for us to keep working towards our goals with the fantastic friends from the last challenges and a big 'Hello!' to all the challenge newbies!
Thank you @awood08 for kicking off the last challenge!

I tend to bulk up really fast, gain lots of muscle, lose fat but not weight. I need help losing weight, ie fat. I do lots of cardio(elliptical, stationary bicycle, stairmaster and HIIT), 5 days a week to the tune of 400-500 calories daily. Calories do not exceed 1200 daily and have stayed at CW for the last two weeks. What to do?

Exercise won't help drop fat once you are fit (sounds like you are).
How about eating like a lioness for a few weeks?
Cut carbs dramatically, eat less often (occasional stretches of 16-24 hours fasting won't hurt), and chow down protein and healthy fat (or a zebra) when you DO eat. Don't sweat the calorie count; just wolf down zebra when you eat.
If 'normal' diets have failed, you might be surprised with this plan's results 🙂 Rob

Hello, Everyone! I was on the previous Valentine Challenge and I am happy to report that I met my previous goal (I lost 12 pounds). Now it's time for a new goal. Here we go:
I am 5'5", and will be 62 at the end of March.
Thanks, Saraj91, for setting up this new goal for us all. This is so helpful!
Best Wishes to you all.

Hi, @dianenyc ! Good to see you enrolled on to the new goal. Congratulations on reaching your previous goal. I am happy to report that I have reached my previous goal on Valentine day (171lb). My goal for this season is to get to 160 lb. I pray you have a great time as you prepare for Easter, and continue to grow closer to the Lord.
Blessings, health, and strength to you and yours.
