Can we take our pics now and post on the 7th, or do they have to be taken on the 7th?

Also, another question -- I'm assuming measurements will be unflexed, yes?

si. I must say the measurements AND the pictures were a blow to the ego.
Just done mine, and it's not going over the top when I say I was totally ashamed of what I saw on the monitor.

Hi guys....I'm back. Been away for a few days. Just took my pics this morning....god, what the hell have I done?
Sounds like a lot of interest has been generated then. I can't access Paypal from my gov site, since it's blocked. So how much is our entry fee and who is collecting it?

Spotting this a little late, but I'm looking for a challenge/competition to kick off the new year. I see you already have ten though, any room for more?
What do you guys think? Room for 1 more? I say what the hell, why not. I vote to let rhauser44 in. I believe in fair and open competition, as long as he pays and post by the 7th.
What do you guys think?

I don't see why we can't let one or a few more in.

Sounds fair to me. This might even be a put up or shut up moment for Ninja too! As far as I'm concerned the more the merrier. If we get *so* many people starting and more importantly finishing that gets freaky deaky then we can adapt and overcome as the need(s) arise. Cut off for entry staying with the 7th just to keep it sane and organized. *2 cents off*
$20 to play, (that's on the low side of friendly betting and still equals a pretty nice payout for the top 1/2/3, how ever you want to split the end). It looks like I'll be the designated holder of the cash. Neil did the paypal with no problems. A couple guys preferred mailing checks\MO. Get with me and we'll work something out.
Maybe if we ask real nice Roland will fire up a new thread for us in the "Training Journal" section and those of us that have the pics\measurements already done can go ahead and put them up. After one or two guys are out there for the world to see, the rest of the folks are going to realize that they're in good company and have no reason to feel bashful\ashamed...at least compared to the rest of us fatties.
Sounds good to me globbla. Got your email (thanks!).
Lets get those cameras clicking guys!

Thanks for the support Upnorth! and a welcome to rhauser44.

So, this is quite a change from Rem's 1 guy to complete against.
11 or more guys
Photos
Measurements
Six months (that makes the cash available to pay off Summit cc bills, since it's past the "date")
Should we end (and post our results ) on July 1st or the 7th? July 4th is Independence Day in America, followed by the long bbq weekend. No one wants to look puffy for the pics, right? There might be celebrations. On the other hand, that's life, right?
Winner is most improved, as voted on by forum members in a poll? The other option is to decide amongst ourselves with a few "guest" judges that we ask for input.
