Keep a diary of what you eat, drink and when you exercise and what you do.
On the very first page write a list of why you want to change - no matter what it is - and everytime you go to log what you've done read your goals.
If it helps take a before picture and keep it in the book, or, if your really brave, stick it on your fridge.
Good luck.

I started a thread called "Motivation" in another forum... got the notes from a seminar the other night... I can't remember what the forum is titled, but some great tips in there...
