Close run between Papa and Welshy for me - but PL got my vote in the end.

AWG should get a prize for cheesiest grin in his second after shot though

I think i should consider recasting my vote.

Can we have some photos taken with a thong on to be sure ?

I'm of course referring to AWG and PL not Welshy

Full respect to everyone for having the guts to post before and after pics up,papa you have an impressive physique mate,jealous of that tiny waist.

Based on who's made the best progress rather than best physique,it was between welshy and AWG for me,AWG got the vote 20lb weight loss 4 inches off the waist is excellent going.

Re:MT Shape-up Grand Final! - 14 August 2009 18:15
Im torn, I votedn for PL in the heats but AWG has transformed himself.

I thought of voting for Welshy but decided she had an unfair advantage in the posing wear front...

Ill be back to vote.

Re:MT Shape-up Grand Final! - 15 August 2009 22:55
Congratulations to one and all, like my politics I shall keep my vote to myself but have to say that there has been fantastic progress by all. If I'd been more determined I could have given AWG a run for his money and maybe even PL. Great work guys!

Next time maybe we should have different categories to cover all aspects and types of training.
e.g Women only maybe just to get more women taking part. Welshy some great after photos and befores as well, that half inch can make all the difference. 

Assisted, Unassisted, Unassisted Over 40's only called jps group. (ha ha)

Right new regime from tomorrow. Good night everyone!
