Random Quote: If voting could really change things,it would be illegal.
You must post your height, weight, and date of starting weight.
Also on this first post you must post a photo of yourself from the knees to the neck, both from a side view and a frontal view. Please do not include anything that would identify you (face, business logo, anything in background etc.)
Each Monday. or as close to it as you can, you should re-weight and post your new weight and PERCENTAGE MOVEMENT, up or down. You are also encouraged to post what is working and what is not. Success stories and/or where you went off the rails are also encouraged!
The first phase will run for six months. After which we will announce a Phase 1 winner based on percentage lost. I will keep a spreadsheet of the results on an ongoing basis and post once a week.
Based on demand we may then start another six month competition.
Prize: Bragging rights plus, as is now the THT custom, a nice logo for your signature line. We may encourage entrants to throw in a $10 gift certificate to go towards the top two or three winners if there is enough interest in doing that.
Rules may be added if necessary to keep the competition fair.
IF THT MEMBERS, ENTRANTS OR NOT, MISUSE THE PHOTOS OR OTHER INFORMATION THEN I WILL ASK THE MODS TO REMOVE THE THREAD.
Should've started this in Jan 07, I have lost 44 lbs. since then with the majority of the loss in the first 6 months. actually lost 50 lbs but put 6 on over the holidays. No special diet just ate sensibly and exercised.
It can be done. Admiral did the same, helps when two of you have the same goal!
This could go to the bilge in record time with the photos !!! This could be revenge time for some of those unwitting spouses who ended up in the sandbar thread.
I'm here!!!! 5'6 212pounds as of today. Lost 20 already but I do not think that counts.
I took pictures of myself the first 4 weeks, the change is amazing. Now that the shape of my body is somehow human like again, i saw no point on taking the pictures so often.

Sorry!!! I lost 20 over 8 weeks, but I took pictures the first 4 weeks. After the forth week I stopped taking pictures weekly, I will probably do it monthly now just because the changes are more subtles than at the begining.
On top of the pictures, I took weekly measurements of my neck, chest, upper arms, rib cage, waist, hips, upper legs and knees.
I'll post the pictures later.. I'm very proud of it...

Like most of america, I made a new years resolution to lose weight and get into shape so I am in.
Will have to weigh myself and learn how to post pics tomorrow.
