What is your motivation?

Hello everyone. Back on MFP after a break and I was wondering what everyone's motivation is for getting healthy and losing weight.
At work, there is a tri-county Biggest Loser contest. 15 of us from my department have signed up.
Find it is a lot easier to do this when you have the support of your co-workers and friends. I don't won't want to be the one on the team who isn't holding my weight (or losing my weight as the case may be.)

I want to travel to Bhutan and the Himalayas. I need to be fit and active to do so and enjoy myself, I want to lead a life of adventure and after going to South East Asia last year I realised that will be easier if I am not so heavy!0

I want to feel strong and be healthy. Also, I hate the feeling, mentally and physically when I go to bed overfull. And there is that whole sexy pants thing...0

I started back on MFP 3 weeks ago and wish I'd started earlier.... oh well. My motivation is that in 1 week and 2 days I am in a play - "Calendar Girls" and if you know the story (based on real life, was also made into a movie starring Helen Mirren) it is 6 middle-aged and older women doing a nude calendar to raise money for leukemia. So, the play has some brief nudity... tastefully done and artfully hidden by props... and I wanted to present the best "me" that I could.
I love theatre... my passion... and I want to make sure that I don't miss out on getting roles because of my rolls. So I'm motivated to lose weight and get healthy. :-)0 -

My kids, I want to be happy and healthy for them.0

My motivation is both my health and the way I look. On both sides of my family, there's a strong history of Diabetes (type I and II), Heart Attack, Stroke and High Blood Pressure. I really want to avoid these dangers. I also want to lose weight to feel good about myself, and wear anything I want without feeling too self-conscious. I still have a longgg way to go, but I can do it! So can you0

I've been down on my face for the majority of 2013 , I want to become fit , buy clothes that fit just fine , become faster , stronger , and get into the dating game again.0

My family are my motivation. That and a sudden desire to fight those forties...0

The desire to be as strong and fit as I possibly can be. Plus achieving a more masculine build through proper diet and training would be pretty nice.0
