AWG mate well done for getting us started, no date for your pics though, not sure if you knew?

Yes there really must be a date of some kind in at least one pic, as how are we to know that the pics weren't taken 6 months ago!

I told you already I would be using pics form my jounral 2 weeks ago...I'm gonna get a leg shot up later with a date in it

Self timer on my camera and a suitable ledge to place it on.

If you ask people to do it for you they usually act like Tw@ts

Good luck everyone. Let's get this party started ;)

Cardifflads journal - feel free to explore and add your two pennies

Im very nervous as with the wedding etc ive not followed a good diet or trained so well,so im going to look BAD but hey its about improvment after all

Good luck to all

Everyone has been in shape,but not everyone is IN shape,its about where your going not where you have been.

If we all looked perfect it would be a pretty sh8t comp Brucie ha ha. All the best mate

Cardifflads journal - feel free to explore and add your two pennies

Well done to all so far, should be some good results by the looks of things.

I will be getting mine up some time on Saturday.

I will be shedding the lard yet again.

2010 Shape up entry

Yeah, think I might join this. Need some motivation to get started again. Feel like I'm fading away!

But good luck to everyone!

My Journal

Just a gentle reminder - please remember to get the date in at least one of your photos, as I'm finding I am having to remind a lot of people!!

You could use any of these methods:

Hold a newspaper up
Have telly on in the background with the news
Hold laptop up with BBC frontpage or similar
Hold a sheet of paper up with the date on it


Thanks!

If you have lapsed a little, your progress will be more noticeable which is good!  No need to be nervous, we will be gentle with you

I was beyond dubious about doing this and i have to say im well excited about it all now!

Great stuff, there's nowt like a bit of motivation!

I am doing my own shape-up for 3 months in the background (obv not entering the comp!) so I will be feeling your pain all the way. All for one and one for all

Why dont you enter aswell? Id be good to have some female entrants...
Go on... dont be shy now

If she won, members would say the voting is fixed

Yes exactly, for the reasons Hazel has given above - there would be shouts of "Fix!" .... "Swizz!".   Not that I would win of course, but you can see what I mean.

Anyway I'm not brave enough to post up pictures of me in my kacks

Tbf, i can understand your point but i dont think this would be an issue. Best mate voting is always an issue so what difference does a mod make?
 
Come on luv, get em off and get em up! haha.   
 
obviously you know the humour im trying to put across, im not actually a perve... (others may disagree tho lol)

ill wear em then lol
rhf go for it mate,or maybe if you feel a bit iffy,why not make an intro page with no before pic but take one  and post it at the end with a after pic,it wont matter than as youll look great and as your not entering the comp it wont matter having no proper before pic,just an idea

Everyone has been in shape,but not everyone is IN shape,its about where your going not where you have been.

Well done everyone !

I'll be posting my pics etc up on Sunday, spent this week being a total piggy wiggy and making the most of it before the dieting commences !

JEFF come on mate do it!

Everyone has been in shape,but not everyone is IN shape,its about where your going not where you have been.

Is there a cut off date for the before pics,as i feel two weeks ago etc is ok but 3weeks plus older pics is a larger % in a 12 week comp,dont mean to be a grouch but think its fair win or loose to start with a level playing field

Also i think it will help if people clearly if assistd or not

well done welshy a good to have some women also on it

Nice if we can get a mod entering too

Everyone has been in shape,but not everyone is IN shape,its about where your going not where you have been.

Are you referring to someone's pics in particular Brucie, please say if you have an issue?  I think a few weeks old is fine, but irrespective of that I have asked everybody to have at least one picture taken this week with the newspaper or telly or similar in it.

If you have a problem with my picture Brucie then I'll gladly finish the shape up 3 week early

Nah no ones ,no one person just if it goes week back,1-2 seems more than fair and even older if a recent pic dated is up,i just think as more people hop on board it may drift further back,wasnt implying anything
