What was your motivation to lose weight. What do you use for motivation when you hit a plateau?

For me the motivation was 2 things, 1 the Dr said I had fatty liver diesease and this could kill me. (Huge motivator of course)
The real thing that kicked it off for me was I pushed my riding mower about 30 feet to hook it up to a battery charger. I was so out of breath I could hardly stand up. After 84+ lbs lost I now can bike 8 miles without a problem.

When I hit a plateau I just look at old pics of me. I dont wanna be "that guy" again.

    My short-term motivation is to look and feel good for our family holiday in May 2013 we will be going to visit some theme parks and I want to feel comfortable (and fit) when participating with my children. In the long term just to up my exercise intensity, set small goals for myself in terms of fitness challenges, that sort of thing.
