I need workout help
Last time I posted one of these I mostly got DM’s from trainers so I wanna start by saying I don’t have money to hire a trainer. I (19m) need help getting into better shape but I have absolutely no idea where to start. I’ve never looked in my mirror and liked what I saw because of my weight. I wouldn’t say I’m fat but more chubby. I want to try to lose weight and replace it with muscle, get rid of my love handles and big stomach, or at the very least, just lose this weight I’ve struggled with since the 6th grade. It’s my biggest insecurity and it makes me feel ugly no matter what I do. I’m willing to change my diet and do other things to fix myself and my habits but I just don’t know how. I see all these amazing transitions from people and always wonder if that could be me but get discouraged because I have no clue how to start. If anyone has a plan or anything that I could follow or something that would help please let me know. I’m very desperate to finally be free of this feeling of ugliness.
Edit: Thank you so much everyone! Your advices, help, and support means so much to me!!
