One of my motivational pictures and sources.
Visualise what you want every day using little things. That little dress or those `perfect' jeans that don't fit — buy them or pull them out of the closet and try them on every time you don't want to work out or you want to eat ice cream. Write a list of things why you want to look good, stay healthy or keep fit and post them on the fridge. Maybe print out a picture of someone you admire and put it up where you need to think twice about that cookie or sweet. Whatever works, or try them all!
People don't realize that little goals are what is going to get you to the finish line in the end. People make these huge resolutions, but don't decide on the way they are going to accomplish them. It is very difficult to wake up at 5 o'clock in the morning to squeeze your workout in for the day. I would think that you just need to get on a consistent schedule where working out is something you do, just like going to work. Just find a time each day that works the best for you. Plan it. Organise it. Just do it!
Don't let yourself get stuck before you barely even start. Get motivated again — and get moving! You won't regret it when the pounds come off and the results of your hard work pay off.
Don't let broken New Year's resolutions get you down. It's time to think of a more effective way to achieve your goals. If you promised yourself you'll only eat three meals and a snack every day, that's a reasonable goal. If you promised yourself you'll never eat pizza again, that's setting yourself up for inevitable failure. Think about the big picture, but work toward smaller goals. Soon, those resolutions will be a thing of the past — because you've already completed them!

Resolutions are great, since by making them you acknowledge that something needs to change. The problem comes when you fall off the wagon in the middle of the year. What then?
"Think about the big picture, but work toward smaller goals." <- right on.
