Motivation is a problem that requires a multifaceted solution. You have to slowly set up your life so that weight loss just figures into it naturally. I am not the sort of person who can maintain a healthy weight without exercise, so becoming involved in running has been great for me... but that's not all I do to stay where I should be.
I also became interested in veganism, and have been one since December. This can make weight loss simple. As my interest in whole foods increased (a natural progression for an enthusiastic vegan, though not limited to vegans), my interest in processed foods decreased.
Above all, I would get on the personal trainer bandwagon. It changed my attitude toward exercise. Get them to explain why they're making you do something and hopefully you'll develop an interest in the process.
You know, I think that's the key. Getting an interest in the process of something. Just wanting the result isn't going to help.
