Shape-Up 2009 general discussion

Yes apologies, I missed this one off - I'll add it in with the rest of your photos in a mo  

Well done to everyone for lasting the 12 weeks, something I've never done! When will the next one of these be happening?

Have to say though, Body for Life totally lied to me!

Thanks Fi

Cheeky-How did Body For Life lie to you lol?

I think they may have exaggerated what is achievable in 12 weeks! There is some great progress shown in these photos but Body for Life gave the impression that going from overweight to a ripped six pack is commonplace whereas this competition gives a more realistic view.

That's a good point Cheeky. The various shapeups on this site do show what is realistically achievable, but also what is achievable is you really nail your diet.

Had to at Fionas new avatar though.

Feeling a bit inspired to get myeslf a new one this morning. Gonna fire up Photoshop

Awesome pic, but Tony you're not doing yourself many favours posting up tips on preventing the gag reflex and then a picture of a guy touching his toes - Ak

Heeeeee!

Ah yeah...fair point

Allthough TBH if you followed a proper diet for the full 12 weeks then I think it is possible..with no cheating.

I only had a quality diet for about 2 of the 12 weeks and I still did alright..all about how dedicated you are I guess, not to take anything away from the competitors of course

As above, not saying our competitors didnt, but if you have a 100% perfect diet/training routine for 12 weeks, you could get some spectacular results, regardless of starting position.

I was only in it for 7 weeks anyway

Sorry if this has already been discussed, but any news when the next shape up competition will take place?

Age: 20
Height: 6ft 2'
Weight: 13st 6lb

Let the pain commence!

I'll ask around and see what I can find out....

Will there be a play off the for people with the least votes from each group?

Journal + Fitness Equipment + Cheap Webhosting

No sorry!   The top two from each group will go through to the grand final!

I know this is going to sound a bit thick, but do we vote in all categories or just the one?

All....then the winners and runner up of each will go into the final

It bodes well for the BBQ that you have such a high embarassment threshold
