Support groups such as Yahoo groups is a good place to go for information as well as support from your group's peers. Group members also can post messages that can provide alot of useful information on various tips and products that they've personally tried and liked or disliked.
Forums in my oppinion are the best ever for support and motivation. There are many forums dedicated for members to share each other's experiences and resources. Alot of them even have personal diarys or journals which you can post a log daily of your progress and your efforts to achieve your goals. Feel free to show before and after pictures of your progress. This will also inspire others to work harder as well as give them motivation to. There are alot of friendly people who are just like you in your same situation.
Social sites such as Face Book, Tweeter, Digg, etc. are good ways to show everyone your progress as well as meet others and view their progress as well. You will make new friends this way which will help get you motivated. There's no since in being alone on your journey so why not get some extra support from others that are in your shoes to?
Don't be shy to tell your friends and family about your goals. Discuss with them how you going to change your lifestyle to accomplish your goal. True friends and your family will give their support. If you have a friend that wants to lose weight just like you then by all means offer to work together. This will help keep both of you motivated since you will have a personal partner involved in your journey.
Feed your desire to lose weight. Think of what you would be wearing if you were at your desired weight. How more attractive you will look towards men/women. Think about how much healthier you will become. Plan out what your diet and exercising will be based on. Think of holidays you'd like to be slimmer around. Let this feed your desire to lose weight and get you motivated for the months to come.
Make reasonable goals each week or month for yourself. Don't go crazy and make outrageous goals. You will only tire yourself out and most likely give up. Take it easy and dont be too hard on yourself. Stick with your goals and take it one day at a time. It doesn't hurt to have a cheat day once out of the week. Make it reasonable though you dont want to mess up your diet from overdoing it.
Now that you have some insight on how to get motivated. Get out there and get motivated and start accomplishing your goals. Best of luck to you.
