The Contest weigh ins will continue on this post only for everyone that enters. Also note, this is not just about losing weight, even though this is a weight loss forum. It's a "body transformation" ... if your goal is to tone up, bulk up, etc, you are still eligible to win.

Good luck with your goals, and I hope that if you get stuck, at least our monthly prizes will encourage you to keep going!!!!

From the WL Forum admin, and Fitness.com: Good Luck.

For further details on the contest, please refer to the original Body Transformation post in the News section. Thanks!

what ar the prizes?

good luck all

damn it!!!

i only have like 35 lbs left!!!

Jeremy-so what I only have about 15 as of this morning but that is when you can really see the biggest difference in my opinion with loosing the least because I can get pretty firm and toned which will be a big change. You being a guy and only having 35lbs I would think you could make a HUGE transformation if you were to loose about 2lbs a week you would pretty much be at your goal! Jump in I bet you will win!!!! --wait I want to win he he he he

i drop about 4 lbs a week....

the difference wouldnt be as good as my 386 - 215 pics.. lol

where what you are comfortable in... or will show off the changes but the before and after should be wearing the same ensemble...

do you mean "wear"

you'r planning on posting naked pictures?

if that makes you happy...

lol, maybe in my after pics, lol

you wrote "where what your comfortable with" not WEAR what your comfortable with

Sorry, I took my english class today, can you tell? lol

haha ha and ha...

rest assured there will be NO naked pics here LOL, but I am considering a bathing suit for maximum observable difference since most of mine is in the upper legs thigs butt area it would be harder to tell in clothes.

Before Picture :

Yes you can wear what you like - but it has to be the same outfit before and after. Preferably it would be easier to see a change with tighter clothing, but it is what you feel comfortable in.

Take the photo within the sign up week - probably the 28th, or even the day it starts 29th if you want to be exact

Also this is not a competition about who can lose the most weight - it is more geared towards a goal you have in mind, whether it be the last 15 pounds or gaining muscle, or losing a lot. It is your choice!
