Let’s do this. Recent picture. I know it’s a little hard to see my muscle definition with the mumu, so you’re gonna have to trust me. Wait, the tanning part is first, right?

Puff! You’re here! Yay!
Hey! Yep. Nice to see you! Let’s do this.
Swimsuit pics optional. I know after seeing how far I’ve progressed on my tan, there’s going to be a lot of suspense. LOL!
Oh! I have no doubt, you got this thing in the bag.
So what should the standard update rate be? Weekly or bi-weekly? none with a big reveal at the end?
You guys are suppose to GET into shape, not enter 4 weeks out!
Good question, I’m going to want some feedback/tips from the more experienced guys on here to help keep me moving in the right direction over the time period so I’m definitely thinking more than none ![]()
I was thinking about that
I don’t want the main thread to turn into 14 people keeping a daily workout log and weekly pics/progress updates… that would be too crazy
But perhaps a Monthly update for the first few months (visual changes aren’t as dramatic in the beginning) and a free floating Q&A / support / idea bouncing. … like “hey I’m at X calories and doing Y cardio but fat loss stalled, what should I do?” Or even some workout ideas and such.
Obviously people can and will keep logs, but the main thread would get too cluttered if everyone was doing it all in there
Perhaps, naming our logs “(official contest name) - dchris log”. Possibly also having one log where everyone posts weekly/monthly photos? All discussion and trash talking can take place in each individual log, to not bog down the updates.
I’m changing my ‘before picture’. The picture from earlier is going to be my picture in June. This is my picture for now.
Here’s what I’m looking like these days:

Based on the last two “before” pics, I think we’re going to have to require a shoe pic to discourage the cheaters.
Eating a bag of Doritos and chasing it with a 2 liter bottle of soda, then trying your best to look pregnant is perfectly fair. Pictures from when you were 16, or just scary pictures of fat people from the web NOT allowed.
I’m on a strict diet of Poo Tarts until January 1st
@anon71262119, I cannot believe a sensitive liberal such as yourself would stoop to fat-shaming me–ESPECIALLY without the courtesy of a trigger-warning!
I’m mostly motivated by self-interest. I don’t know if those are hearts or cherries on your posing trunks, but I’m interested in never seeing that again.
Here’s my official before photo. I’ve cut down quite a bit, looking to add lean mass to my lats and shoulders.

Don’t make me pull out the 9 months pregnant “before” pictures, dchris.
June is 9 months away…
My due date is January 3rd. Of course I’ll have to crop my face out of the photo to protect my privacy. Don’t think I don’t know how to play this game! Sheesh, dchris. I’d expect some shenanigans from Eyedentist and flip, but the prepubescent “before” picture is a new low.
Just be glad this thing isn’t starting during No Shave November.
Trigger Warning. Before pic of my calf progress.
