I thought the same thing - tues. 1/7 was official start so I just assumed today was pic day.

OrangeChic, you have a beautifully shaped physique. I love how your quads and back have shown improvement in just this past month. It's going to be neat to see you pack some muscle onto your body.
This whole thing is neat. There are a group of slim women trying to get bigger, a group of fairly buff women trying to (um...get bigger/finetune,etc,) and a group that need to drop weight.
The changes in the next few months will be interesting to view.

Well, my quick count puts us at 28 participants reporting in with pics/stats. We started with 54.

Well, it also sounds like there is a little confusion with some of our participants and when pictures were due. Since this is the first month of pictures and we are all working on getting the schedule down, I'd like to see a little flexibility with the updates.

I hate to be a whiner but I thought we started on the 7th, so I was thinking the 7th would be the day the pics were due and I won't have my hubby here to take pics until tomorrow? Can't I still stay?

I'm pretty sure that due to the initial confusion of "1st Monday of the month" vs. "7th of each month" for progress checks that you won't get booted out - but it isn't my party ...

Yes everyone can stay. It would be silly for us to boot anyone and I would withdraw if we did.  You guys will simply have less time beween these pics and the next one so we'll look 5 days or so better. LOL!!! |

I plan on posting mine any day now! I completely forgot last night and won't be around tonight...so Thurs. should be the day for me! Then I'll just shoot for the 1st of each month after though. (although I know I'll be in CA for March 1...so I'll just have to post when I can) I'm also about 2 weeks behind everyone since I was finishing up another program while everyone was starting Stage 1. I'm still in though! Loving the program but the squats are killer! Good sign!
