How do you stay motivated?

I am curious to see everyones answers.

I have a hard time staying on track. It seems like everytime I am doing good something comes up.
I just got back from vacation as well as TOM came to visit. I gained almost 10 lbs!!!
When I saw I had gone up THAT MUCH I got out my workout dvds and wii fit and started going at it.
I also took before pics and measurements.
I couldn't help but peek at the scale and I am 5 lbs down! Thankfully!!!
Now I just have to stay on top of it. (I still live at home, but I am starting to cook everything myself after this big gain . Ready for my own place, groceries and not having to be around all their fattening cooking.)

What helps you stay motivated?

My goal weight helps me stay motivated. So many say not to look at the scale but it's hard not to judge by that when I have looked up my healthy weight and it say less than I thought it would...I need to get there because I want to be healthy!
