Did you hire a trainer? I'm thinking that might be something that makes a difference for me. A bigger financial commitment plus a human being that is expecting me to show up would make it more likely that I follow through.

No, but I did have a workout buddy for the first year or so that I was going, so that probably helped. But anyway, I'd still recommend a trainer as he might be able to identify any weak spots in your posture, mobility etc and give better personalized advice than what you'd find online. Had I had one early on, I might not have ended up as a hunchback with huge arms and chicken legs after my first few years of training (I've luckily been able to develop a more balanced physique since).
Anyway, I think you have to commit to it long enough that you actually see some measurable results. Many people give up before they even reach that point. It takes effort and persistence, but not on some superhuman level. Pick a program and stick to it for a few months, while making sure your diet is on point.
