Ooh! Ooh! Finally! I'm in. I was jealous of the first challenge. I'll be done with Stage 4 at that point, so I guess I'll start with the end of the NROL4W and then pick up something else between Sept-Dec. Maybe the original NROL.
You're such an organizer girl Jane. Every group needs one. : )
I'll jump back in too. Not sure what program I am gonna do yet. But I am heading to Mexico the last week of November so this will be perfect timing. I almost made it last time!
"As far as (healthy) eating, either do it, or don't. Same issues repeated over and over is just insanity. We either commit to the endeavor or pay lip-service to it. This is the hardest part of the whole process, and it needs to be practiced more than the actual physical training. It's mind training." ~ Matt Thorne
"The reason that most people fail instead of succeed is that they trade what they want most for what they want at the moment."
For the newbies, if you aren't comfortable and familiar with hosting, editing, cropping or whatever you need to do and posting your pics, I'd suggest you give it a trial run between now and August 4 so you are ready to post your starting pics.
Guess what? Shhh. I actually bought a bikini top to go with the bottoms I wear with my tankini top. I'm working up the nerve to post pics...without my head... I'm such a weeny.
Oh you might as well. I've ordered a tankini bottom (one that I'd never wear in public). I don't mind wearing my bra for the pictures (you'll see why), but most of my underwear is getting on the big side at the moment, so no way. I'll see when it gets here as I ordered it at the very top range of the size chart (something I never do). The shots will be very strange, but also headless!
I'm in too! I never noticed this signup thread till now, thought it was going to be in the NROL4W forum (though I read that thread and think it's a great idea to run it here). I'm working on posting my first pics today, and Pauline, I skipped the "no head" thing on the last set b/c my face is in my avatar anyway...
*waving hand* Another late-arriving newcomer here who'd like to sign up. I started my program last week, actually (and have already lost two pounds on the body, and and added around ten pounds on most of my weights) -- but it's not like I don't have plenty more work to do over the next few months. (*gazing sadly down at the PMPB [Post-Menopausal Pot-Belly]*).
Up until now, I've used tinypic.com to upload photos to get a URL. It's a public site, though. I don't really want to post my body shots, yes even headless ones...I am painfully modest...on a public site. Is there a way to get a URL for your pictures without them being posted on a public site first? I recognoze that this is a public site, too, but I feel like this is a focused enough site that the pictures will be beneficial to its audience. If people want to search the internet for ladies in a challenge on a weight lifting forum, more power to them!

I use Flickr and there was an option that I could click to make my photos "private", which is what I did.
Does that help?

That's hilarious, Jane! We just cross posted. I figured I better explain my rationale about being willing to post publicly here but not elsewhere so I was editing my original post as you posted! Heehee. Here's what I added:

Fwiw, I allowed my midwife to film the birth of my youngest to show to future clients. It was a lower body shot (headless, my favorite kind) but I figured if it would help others who wanted a natural, birthing center or home birth, so be it!
Ok, I just joined this group last night, and haven't had time to absorb all that's available here (or even introduce myself yet!), but I had my best success last year with a challenge and accountability to others, so I'm definitely signing up for this!!

Yay! Welcome, Girlfriend.
