2023 T-ransformation Voting Thread!

Congrats to our 2023 winner: @atlas13!
Congrats to our 2023 “most supportive teammates”: @throwawayfitness and @QuadQueen!

No big preamble this time! I’ll link to the original thread here:

Vote for the most transformed (in your opinion), not necessarily the best finished product.
Voting runs through Friday - I’ll announce a winner Saturday. Then we’ll pick least transformed, if anyone wants to play, and MVP.
We had 34 “after” pics! Thanks for finishing, everyone; great work all around!

The poll will only allow 20 choices, and we crushed it with 34 finishers, so I’m putting up two polls. I can’t force it in the browser, but please just vote for your one favorite candidate. If it’s close, I’ll make the call. If it’s really close, maybe we’ll even go to a runoff.

Some really great results in here. Big respect to anyone who have it a go and got to the finish. Thanks @TrainForPain for organizing this and being chief cheerleader for those who wanted to hold themselves to account and get better. Well done.

Where’s the vote for most helpful? I need to nominate @QuadQueen

I mean, I need to vote for my candidate… in private… all secretive-like…

I was and am just happy to be able to contribute and hopefully help y’all!

Very cool, all around. Lots of people made progress, and as a participant I know (and you all can see) how a lot of effort can translate into very little visual change. Which speaks volumes for those who made BIG visual changes.
It’s good to have this thread every year, weird as it is to post a bunch of scanty selfies with a bunch of internet strangers.

Lots of hard work :clap::clap:.

Brave souls.

Awesome work everyone!! A lot of respect for the effort put in.
If there is a comp for hiding your abs in the same timeframe then I’m in!!

Loved stalking the challenge thread to follow everyone’s progress, very inspiring! Huge respect to all, well done everyone!

Appreciate all the work you’ve done on this @TrainForPain. I haven’t been around much to keep up with everything or even post my own photos, but it’s great seeing how well everyone has done. A self-inflicted wrist injury put me out of the running as I wasn’t able to train as I’d like. I’ve made some big personal and psychological gains around the gym over this time period though so I’m still happy with the last 6 months or so.

Some really awesome transformations amongst those pictures. Great stuff!

Well done to everybody who followed through with an after :clap:

And @TrainForPain for putting it together!

I went MIA just at the end of this challenge but I’m back now to say thank you @TrainForPain for all this work. It has been really nice to be part of this.

Listen, all you suck-ups, I intend to keep the voting fair and square regardless of your “thanks”!

Obligatory Internet “this is a joke” disclaimer

Last day to vote - don’t miss your chance!

After that, I think (unless someone offers a better idea):

  1. I’ll ask for write-ins for most helpful (rather than a poll)
  2. Similarly, I’ll ask for folks to volunteer to be “least transformed” and @T3hPwnisher can select the “winner” from that list

Thoughts?

I am always amazed by @littlesleeper massive forearms :heart_eyes::heart_eyes::heart_eyes: wish I had mine like his!

Great work, everyone. I’m glad to have this extra bit of motivation to:

  1. Eat extra over Christmas and New Year’s to prep for the before
  2. Dial it in and train hard to prep for summer and the after pic
