Isnt not wanting to be a fat bastard enough of a motivation for you??

As GTC has stated, setting achievable but challenging goals is key. Sometimes it's more motivating to aim to run to a specific location, and not being concerned with the distance or the time. You may also want to take a look at the NHS' C25K plan. My biggest motivation for running comes from Dean Karnazes' book, The Ultramarathon Man: Confessions of an all-night Runner. Give it a read, highly inspiring and will help tackle any motivational issues.

For me it was matter of getting "teched up" - bought a Garmin GPS watch and logged all my runs online - kept me motivated as I could easily see the improvement, set goals etc.. not as good as having a mate with you, or a group running but it goes a long way. Looking back even a few weeks into the logs I could see huge improvements at the start.

Hi Everybody I have ballooned to just over 14st. This time 5 years ago I was an healthy fit 11st guy who used to run miles everyweek. Finding it hard to get motivated. I know it's a case of getting off my fat arse and getting out there but for the first time feel like I need help. I live in Tiptree and the only running club near me are for runners who can run at least five miles and I would really struggle to do that now. Any sensible ideas ?
