17 People Who Didn’t Settle Until They Reached Their Body Goals

Motivation is wanting to achieve something, which keeps you from failing since you think about how much you have to lose. In order to keep the momentum going, you need to set a realistic, achievable goal and start planning it out for your everyday life. Of course, you will need some support during all this effort, since everyone can have moments when they feel they are about to break. But hard work always pays off in the end, and, hopefully, the results will make you happy.
