I can't commit

I'm 33 and every month I say "I'm going to lose weight starting today". I've started a diet several times. My last one where I saw the pounds melt off was the "No sugar/No chocolate" diet.
I have rosacea which makes working out in a gym or outside out of the question. My landlord lives downstairs and I can't run and jump on the second floor. I do have an exercise bike and a treadmill.
The only time that's a good time to work-out is when I wake-up but I'm not a person who likes to wake-up in the a.m. If I could wake up an hour earlier and work-out I would lose weight.
Why am I so lazy? I need some inspiration people. What have you got? Too much stuff goes on during the day and I can't commit to a work-out schedule in the afternoon (my ideal time to work-out).
What can make a morning routine not so boring ?(ok. keep it clean! HA HA! I know what you're thinking. No dirty jokes there --of course my husband wouldn't object).
P.S. I'm 180 lbs. I want to be 145 and stay there forever.

Hi,
I really think it's important to have protein while dieting and if you crash diet then the weight will come back eventually. In highschool I was anorexic because I didn't know how to lose weight the healthy way. I thought eating less and working out constantly was the way to go.
I think cutting out sugar is healthy but you need the protein. I've read that you lose more weight by working out slowly at longer intervals of time.
I'm also going shopping for fish. Omega 3 is essential to the diet. I can't remember the name of the movie...that Clint Eastwood one with Hilary Swank. Anyway, she only ate protein for that role and no wonder she could fit into that Oscar dress.
I do agree that cleaning out the system once may work but I'm not sure how safe that is. They say there is nothing wrong with a juice fast for a few days.
