[crocker710]

Sounds good I'll post my pics tomorrow; are we having a vote for the winner?

[xoxAngel_Kxox]

Fab I'll get some pics taken tomorrow but I'm dreading it as feeling really self conscious at the moment.. I know underwear will be best though so I'm just going to stuff it and go for it. .

I've not been so determined to loose weight!

[blahhh]

Ill get my pics sorted tomorrow...dreading taking underwear pics...though at least it'll provide me with the motivation to improve on them for the end of the competition!

I'd rather not, as we all know the amount of trolls etc on this forum. If someone has put 12 weeks of effort in, I think it should be judged properly. If it's a public vote, you can guarantee some people will just vote randomly.

We should be having a company sponsor / supply prizes - so they will be one of the judges. I was also thinking the fitness moderators as judges, and perhaps the TSR admins (if TSR offer up prizes).

I think it's fairer that way

Gutted I wasn't quoted. I'll try and get some pictures up in a few days.

Also, to ensure authenticity, maybe write username on the newspaper or something in the same vein..

It says swimsuit, are we allowed one piece suits?

I'm not actually sure I have the balls to post these pictures. Have taken them, and honestly wouldn't want anyone who knows me to see them (and I know there are some on here who do know me/have me on Facebook etc). Sorry guys. Will be keeping up to date with you though (and there will be lots of clothed photos of me on the weight loss thread if anyone cares).

You need to have taken them between the 2nd and 8th of Jan. With a newspaper showing one of those dates on.

Oh yeah I hadn't read that. Well I'm not going to look any better tomorrow.

It's not ideal; but if you aren't comfortable with less then it'll be okay.

Nobody is ever happy with their start pictures. You can always blank your face out, or I can post them for you without revealing your name (someone has already asked me to do this, will post as Anonymous 1).

You've got to be in it to win it!

Come on now you know you want this! I can tell you now my pics are far less than flattering, but they will be up there! Blank for face out or send them to commandant. Don't miss out the this epic comp

Coolios

There is however, a minor glitch for me...I'm going on a 'lads' holiday to Amsterdam for 3 days on the 9th, so that's not gonna help any muscle gain I'll try not to drink too much Heineken and hopefully it won't hinder me too much ;D

[mituozo]

Haha my start pictures are going to be awful too, at 5'8" ~180-185lbs (not weighed myself over christmas period), safe to say I have a fair bit to lose. Particularly the moobs.

I think once a couple of pictures are up people'll feel less conscious about posting. It's great motivation to make sure you actually stick to it.
