If you're looking for an excuse to get in shape, why not plan to go on a trip in a year that will require you to be physically fit. That will give you the impetus needed to work yourself into shape - which, frankly, is more important than losing weight. Get into shape - the weight loss will follow.
Such trips to plan for could be bike riding across Europe. (These days, you can rent electric bikes. This isn't a cheat. An electric bike would help you get up hills, but you'd do the pedaling for the rest of the time.
Or there's the Crazy Horse Memorial near Rapid City, South Dakota, just a few miles away from Mount Rushmore. For 363 days out of the year no one (except the workers) can get up to the top of the arm of the monument). On the first FULL WEEKEND in June, people can walk up to the arm and see the view from there.
It takes about 4 - 6 hours round trip, and you need to be in shape.
Being in shape is so important if you like to travel - all the walking you have to do, the carrying of souvenirs - you'll enjoy it so much more if you don't end each day collapsed on your bed with sore feet!
