Most people approach fitness with a goal in mind. That's the problem. If all you care about is losing weight or looking better, you aren't going to have much motivation. You're looking at the ends instead of the means. You need to forget about the ends and learn to consider the means a reward instead. Then you can't be stopped.
Let's say you don't have a goal. You just love working out. Your goal at the end of the work or school day is to hit the gym because you love it. Then you'll get in better shape without even thinking about it. You don't care how you look or what your weight is, and you'll never care because you love the means more than the ends.
So my advice to most people is either abandon fitness or learn to love it without having any goal in mind. And New Years is the WORST time to start a fitness program because you planned it. You shouldn't plan it at all. Just jump into it immediately. If you have the idea to get fit on December 12th, then start getting fit on December 12th. Don't put it off until New Years.
