Being motivated is the biggest key.
Over the winter, I gave up alcohol and started working out so I could get back into shape for the summer. I only lifted for about 30 minutes every other day. On the days I wouldn't lift, I'd run. I'd workout about 45 minutes after eating dinner so I'd have lots of energy. After my workout, I would have a little snack (apple, low fat yogurt, etc.).
After 3 months, I had lost 3 inches off my waist and lost about 10 lbs. Keep in mind, when I started, I was only 145lbs and a 32" waist. Recently, I've gained some muscle and I'm up to 141lbs. My bodyfat is below 5%. I have more energy throughout the day and not to mention, I feel great!
You just have to motivate yourself to do it. Once you get into a schedule, you'll look foreward to working out each day!
