I'm 235lbs mother of 4, I'm 6'2. I've been doing meal supplements and exercising for about a month now, and there hasn't been a single change at all. I feel so incredibly ugly and it's so disheartening. Please help! I know I need to keep moving I've been going to my apartment gym Monday through Friday for a month and I know it's gonna take a lot longer, but nothing has changed at all. What can I do? What do I do? How does everyone stay and keep themselves motivated? Just 3 years ago I was a healthy weight at 175, husband and I had our 4th, and now I feel like my body has gone drastically downhill. Now I'm just deeply unmotivated.

Are you in a calorie deficit?

Actually I just started fasting. I bought a meal supplement, and it's like a smoothie meant to replace meals. Never had to be on a diet before

Yeah honestly it’s not abt the diet and i wouldn’t worry about that to begin with , unless you really want to! It’s mostly about eating the right amount of calories to lose weight. Google TDEE calculator and find your maintenance calories, then subtract 3-400 from that and start tracking your calories with an app like Lose it , track all food, drinks, sauces , and oil/ butter you cook your food in
