Alrighty here are my new before pictures with a national newspaper. Disregard the other ones...I took them off because it was a local newspaper.

Finally...these better be right.

Don't put yourself in last place yet! You have a better chance of winning than you think! You may have more weight to lose, but that only means that your transformation will be that much better! You just keep at it and you could be the biggest winner of all of us! Best of luck to you and remember that you can do this! It's a win/win situation no matter what!

FRICK! Do you really need a national newspaper?

gymrat0226 · 01-14-2009, 06:30 AM

Okay so now I have to do my pics all over again. Have to do side shots and I don't the The Wichita Eagle counts as a national newspaper does it??? It's a newpaper...It has a date on it.

I'm hoping by 'national' they mean nationally recognized - meaning you can't use one of those local free papers - but I could be wrong.

Is there someone we could ask re: this to get a definitive answer?

Editted to add: In by the way.

I emailed admin the other day and basically it boils down to either USA Today or the New York Times. Which sucks for me since I live in Hawaii and those are really hard to come by. But it also says a national magazine so I already emailed to check if that was also acceptable. I haven't hard anything yet but I will let you know as soon as I know. I hope this helps

blondbomber · 01-14-2009, 10:56 AM

I expect to do just that, this time around: Max out. I'm going for the goal of establishing my lean body and KEEPING IT!! I recently purchased another round of Hydroxycut, then found out about the contest. So, why not?!?!? I'll compete. Then I'll compete on stage!

BiologyBabe · 01-14-2009, 11:24 AM

well great unless the Denver Post also is acceptable, I will have to redo mine as well, but no biggie, I was thinking of extending the contest a week or so for a few reasons.

Anyway, are we required to post our pics inside this particular thread? From what I understood, we were only asked to post them to our BodySpace profiles.

This week is week 2, my first weekly body comp/ weigh in and here is how it went, I am doing this every Wed now, my updates that is.

Weight: 147 (-4 lbs)
BF%: 19.5% (-2%)

That is about what I expected it will likely get better over the next few weeks, and then get lower again.

I live in Hawaii too and I picked up USA Today at Safeway. I'm sure they have them at any other major grocery store as well. Safeway also had NY Times.

Okay.. trying again to post my before pics.. bear with me.. the last ones were HUGE and I deleted the post.... Sorry...I'm kinda new to this and this is very embarrassing, but I want in on the competition so here it goes....

Hello,

Okay, now I wonder if my pics are good enough for the contest. How do I find out if my are ok to enter? Thank you for your help and I hope that you have a great day.

Steph_Ard · 01-14-2009, 12:37 PM

Is this product supposed to give you any kind of energy just asking thought it might

trinut001 · 01-14-2009, 12:59 PM

BiologyBabe I used a Denver Post paper and I emailed someone and asked if that was acceptable and they told me it was. I sure hope so as I do not want to take my pictures again!

brownsugar · 01-14-2009, 01:01 PM

Today was the first day back in the gym after the holidays. I decided to keep it easy and only did 28 mins (+5 mins cool down) on the eliptical (339.1 cals) and then some push ups and crunches on the stability ball. I am currently having trouble with my son's daycare. They are only doing hourly care on stand by so that means not going to my regular gym. The one I went to today has stuff for cardio but not so much for weights. I won't get discouraged though

This is what I figured too. If they wanted it to be with only the New York Times or USA Today, then they would have just said take it with one of those.

alytaber · 01-14-2009, 03:23 PM

I am so excited about getting started I just hope that I can keep up with everything and do school and work at the same time! Good luck everyone!

Nope just found out is must be a national paper, and I was asked specifically to select USA Today or NY Times, just so everyone knows, so now I am retaking my photos likely this Friday.

Wow, why does everything have to be so difficult?! (MAJOR low-carb crankiness!!)

melissa76 · 01-14-2009, 06:42 PM

Hopefully this works!

oceanblue149 · 01-15-2009, 01:18 AM

That stinks for all who have to redo their pics. I would have thought that it was the date on the paper that was of importance and not the type but they must have their reasons. I only lucked out because my local one was sold out and all they had was NY Times. Well . . . make the most of it and have that one last cheat meal again before you retake them!

ml_skylark · 01-15-2009, 04:55 AM

Hello lovely ladies!

I started my transformation for this contest on Jan. 3rd, and so far so good! I have my before pics up, but since I've only taken one set of pictures so far, I don't think they show up yet on my bodyspace. I used the Wall Street Journal as the newspaper, I hope that's okay.

I started at 280 pounds, and through good diet and exercise and with the help of Hydroxycut Max!, I have lost 7.5 pounds already! Woo! So happy!

Anyways, today I hit a bit of a wall though. I was SO not interested in working out. I went to the gym to do cardio, which is my favorite thing to do, and just every minute there was a chore. It was awful. I don't know if it was because I had a bad day yesterday and am emotionally depressed or because I've just hit a small wall or what, but I am going to overcome this somehow and keep up with my transformation! How does everyone else get through something like this?

Good luck to everyone! We can so do this!
