When it comes to tearing down internet bullies, she's fearless, but when she talks about her newborn girl and her fertility issues, she's vulnerable.

Key Takeaway
Fitness motivation is just a small part of your whole journey to wellness, and it's probably the one we have the most trouble with when we first begin. Instead of letting your drive wane, think about what you desire for yourself, beyond weight loss and physical beauty.
People that exercise look for reasons to do it because they understand how beneficial it is to their lives. Consider what might make your life better, and you'll be inspired to keep going. Be inspired and try to be a fitness inspiration to others as well.
I hope these health and fitness influencers will somehow motivate you to make the very big but important decision of your life—to start now and have a healthy lifestyle.
