Set a performance goal. Don't focus on weight loss, focus on finishing a half marathon, swimming a mile, or something else you might like to do. Then set up a training plan 3-5 days a week and keep a calendar where you get to cross off every day where you follow through (off days are freebies).

I agree. Signing up for a race motivated me to train. I hated running. The first part was the hardest, but I learned to love it. My garmin device and online tracking has made it quite a fun and rewarding experience.
