Everything is laid out in easy-to-understand steps (there s even shopping lists to help you get organised). All you have to do is follow the instructions, and stay strong. I d be lying if I said the next 8 weeks are going to be easy. But if you re ever tempted to throw in the towel, remind yourself why you chose to sign up for #noexcuses in the first place and if you need extra support, it s as simple as jumping online to visit the #noexcuses private Facebook group!
