I'm in my 40s and have a big family wedding in July I'd like to get in better shape for. I'm trying to cut down on the sugary snacks and exercise more. Anyone else interested in a support and motivation thread.

@Chocolatecoffeecup well this could be weird if it turns out we’re in the same group 🤣

My dd’s not even engaged yet (prob next year) and I’m already researching salmon sperm for my crepy neck🤣.

@cupfinalchaos look up the nord body peptide oil, ignore the fakes you need the real stuff but I am actually really pleased with it, it’s firming up my arms and stomach a little and I am not using it religiously

Paul's only for 2 and a half groups (mine is about full I think) so the odds are about 50/50 if yours is too. I think he's really good

Mines pretty much full, I like it actually in mine. Everyone seems nice, mostly my age, it’s nice for a bit of a change. My old group were lovely but I found Victoria a bit too self indulgent.

I have been doing quite well in October so far but not weighed myself at all and now we’re halfway through the month I’m quite excited that I might actually have a loss on the scales!

That's good. I'm so glad I moved too. I actually think I would have left if not for joining Paul's team as it wasn't worth it for me at all.

I put a few Lbs on at the end of the summer and that's annoying me so I need to get back on it somehow.

im intrigued as to which groups you are posting about?

I now have 1kg to go to get to my target 🥳 have found the last few tricky and my exercise has also dropped I find it hard to get motivated with dark mornings and early evenings. However I really want to get to my target by the beginning of November although thats just as Christmas season starts Hmm luckily I am not a big drinker, I’d rather eat my calories Grin

That's really good @ApricotRow

There's a podcast called No Shame in a Gain and they have a Patreon
