The problem most people have is not doing the proper workout, and not eating the proper diet for their body type. It comes down to education, and if you are serious about gaining muscle mass or losing weight it may be worth the extra money to pay a trainer at your gym to teach you what is right for your body, of course, if you can afford the time and money it takes to go to the gym.

As someone mentioned before, it's easy to get burned out on working out.

You really have to do something you enjoy, maybe a sport you grew up loving/playing, and you need to learn to alter your childhood tastebuds to enjoying healthier foods, which is not hard to do. If you make the attempt to try something new, try it agian, learn about it's benefits, your tastes will actually change. I've learned to eat all kinds of foods I wouldn't have liked as a kid, but learned it was good for me, and eventually you build your tastes on that, it comes natural, your brain and body want what is good for it and you learn to listen to how certain foods react to your system. And then you learn how and when to eat and build your workout upon that.
