TSR New Year Transformation Contest - Official Discussion Thread
Scroll to see replies
I'd be interested to follow but won't enter anything because I can't commit and don't have a tonne of fat to lose (ie it's gonna be slow rather than a dramatic difference in a couple of months).
I will like to do it this time however I'm a woman trying to gain weight and build muscle so I may end up looking fat afterwards

I will join this as extra motivation for my rowing! The aims will be in terms of erg times and muscle gain since I am already quite thin, but it will be fun to compare anyway.
Aims: 75kg+ with lower body fat, coming from 65kg with around 5kg of losable fat.

The moderators shortlist potential winners and then the sponsor selects the winner I think. All done really fairly

As above. We could potentially look at a poll, however personally I don't think it would work as it is too easily to spoil the vote
Could you explain it in a way to people who arnt already in the know?
Is it a physical transformation? If so, astheticly or healthwise? How is any of this proved for the competition?

I think letting the sponsors choose who wins is like a thank you for donating the prizes, so I'm fairly sure that would have to remain the same.
It's always done very fairly.. we have a look at every before/after photo and nominate a "shortlist" and then discuss any differences in our individual preferences.. and then eventually come up with a list to send to the sponsors. If fitness mods enter, obviously we won't win, it'd just be for the fun.

Hi
.It is a physical transformation. Most go for either losing weight or building muscle, and then are proved by a series of photos posted both before and after the contest, including one with a proof of date.
It's all aesthetics; there would be no way to prove health benefits unfortunately!
I'm in
Planning on cutting and getting lean!!

A photo on Jan 1 would result in my progress photo going from passed-out drunk to sober :P though a good improvement I guess...

I'm in, although I probably won't change that much body wise, fitness and strength wise though...

That sounds good to me I think, if it's any later you risk losing the spur of the moment resolution entrants.
