Why not a challenge?

I am 5 2" and weigh 176lbs. Yup.. lots to lose. Some months back with lots of hard work, I suceeded in reducing my weight to 165lbs. But then I got busy with personal works and couldn't be on track. I sort of let go of my goal.
Now I want to fight & lose my excess weight. But I amnot getting that "all fired up" feeling I get normally. I don't feel motivated.
I was wondering if a challenge will do the trick. Anyone interested? Do you have any suggestions? Maybe like a 1 month challenge or something?

    I'm in......I love challenges. As for an idea however, I don't have one. I will keep checking back to see if you think of one or if anyone has a suggestion. Maybe I will search to get some ideas.

    Everyone seems to be doing so well!! Today is my rest day. I've done 30 min on the elliptical and am trying to convince myself NOT to go running or I might hurt myself with the constant demand on my poor bones and joints. I use to HATE running. It only took about 5 years but I think I might finially like it!

    Thx! Two pounds in one week is good if you ignore the 3 weeks of plateau before it... lol! No, MORE then happy with my weight loss and will be moving to maintenance soon! It's all with no little thanks to MFP and the support system I've had on here. I hope everyone is doing well towards their goals as well :).

    weighed myself this morning down 2 lb. yeah, finally off the plateau. hope it stays that way. my goal is to lose at least 10 lb before I go on vacation the end of May to see my daughter out west. By the way, when I started this last weeks challenge,I posted the wrong weight it should have been 159 not 149. :embarassed: So as of this morning I was 147.:happy:
