Where you been Osagi, completly forgot about you.
something tells me that the shape up is going to turn into a farce populatity contest, but I hope not, cause then I'll have a chance of doing well
Nah mate, I'll be doing my very best to ensure the comp is judged according to a fair set of criteria, obviously we can't stop members from voting for their pals but on the whole I'm confident members will vote based on the results they are presented with.
So make sure you after photos show your results in the very best light as this is what you'll be judged upon!!

What is the situation with voting, who has the right to vote, is there only one vote or 1,2,3 scenario?
Also assisted and non-assisted - are theses two separate categories or combined - personally i think they should be separate...my view.
Mod vote only would make it unbiased imo.
I do realise that people on here are good friends and that may/may not affect their vote, however i would vote and hope others would as well based purely on the photos and differences - perhaps mods could evaluate the result of any votes to ensure free and fair voting - just a thought!!

That's what you think 
So kitty there's some truth in the email rumour about you and toyboy jack5r 
What..!? I didnt... I swear! 
Yes, how exactly is the voting to going to work? Are the mods yet to decide? Maybe a vote on how the voting should be done?

out of how many members mate 31 odd thousand? I dont think a few mates on here if the votes are made by the general public of MT somehow, drop in the ocean springs to mind
btw why are you as red as a tomato in your avatar?

Silly suggestion imo....
I'm on team Pagan but if he looks a blob in his pics then I'll vote someone else . I'm hardly gonna vote for someone who clearly doesn't look as improved as another
This isn't school....although I am still very much a child

Hi fellas, sorry for logging on so late this evening, really wanted to log on a little earlier but just got home.
First up - well done to those that have already posted up their pics. Looks like some good progress has been made and it's great to hear that this comp has helped provide a little extra motivation.
With regards the questions that have been raised in this thread;
i) In terms of where to post the pics - I will shortly create a "MT Shape Up After Photos" thread where contestants can post up there pics or if they have decided to withdraw from the comp for some reason, leave a brief post confirming they are no longer in the running.
ii) Only members that have entered the shape up comp should post in the "MT Shape Up After Photos" thread.
I'll also need the thread to remain 'banter' free as I don't want to have to trawl through umpteen pages of discussion when I have to harvest all of the photos to update the official competition thread.
So please keep it to one post each guys containing the photos you wish to submit along with a brief description of any gains you may have made or, if you are no longer in the running, a brief word confirming so.
Of course you can feel free to use this thread or the previously created shape up discussion thread for any on topic banter.
iii) Contestants may post up any number of pics between now and Saturday. Contestants may also remove any pics they have previously posted if they wish to submit a different set of photos to be judged upon.
However only photos submitted before midnight on the 5th April will be considered by the judges. So make sure you post them up or get them to me via email before the deadline.
iv) Contestants may also use any means at their disposal (except photo-editing ) to enhance their after photos and show their results off in the best possible light. So tanning, shaving, lighting etc can all be used to good effect. However, since this comp is to be judged on the progress contestants have been able to make, it would be advisable for you're after photos to match your before photos as closely as possible (poses etc) to make it easier for members to assess what progress has been made.
v) In terms of how the comp will be judged;
The initial 2 rounds of voting will be open to all members of MT;
When I have all of the photos in, myself and the mod team will categorize them as fairly as possible (e.g. beginner / advanced, bulk / cut) and then a series of threads will be created placing batches of contestants from each category up against each other.
Members will then be able to cast theirs votes in these threads using the forum polling mechanism.
The poll will remain open for 2 weeks and will ultimately leave us with a shortlist of 10 finalists (so if we have two categories, we will take the 5 members with the highest number of votes from each category to give us our ten finalists).
The before and after photos of these finalists will then be posted in a 'shape up final' thread. This final line-up will once again be subject to member vote via the polling mechanism, with this round staying open for 1 week.
At the end of this round of judging, we will take the top five contestants with the highest number of votes as our winners.
Each of these top five contestants will all receive a MT t-shirt kindly donated by James and Jason.
Finally the two members that receive the highest number of votes will stand head to head in a grand final to be voted on by the mod team and board owners, with whoever receives the most number of votes walking away with the grand prize...
£100 kindly donated by www.musclefinesse.com to be spent on their online store!
I hope that all sounds agreeable. As you can probably tell it's my first time organising a comp like this and it's all been a little bit of a learning curve. However I'm sure if we can make a success of this one, we can go on to make this a yearly or even bi-yearly event which would be great for the forum and members alike.
So once again good luck to all those still in the running. To all those that have had to pull out - you still get my respect for entering and posting up your pics and there's always next time
Osagi

Didn't quite realise that there are 31 odd thousand members of MT...so yeah agree with your point.
Just out of the sunbeds, quite an old pic, needs updating.

pics are up for the world to see, what do you think guys and gals
Thought you were doing them saturday ?
Good progress mate, 10lb fat loss (maybe more if you gained some muscle ) is nice anyway you look at it. Definately see the beginnings some abs there. You have also gained strength which is excellent in light of your weight loss. I've definately lost strength.
How do you feel about your progress ?

My neighbour has the same camera as me so i took them just in case my one doesnt come back in time from Nikon repairs
I feel ok, but i wouldve done a lot better if it wasnt for the binges, still though progres is progress nonetheless.
I need to take some better photos as the bloody colour is all over the gaffe, stupid camera !
