I have never felt more alive than I have in the last 2 months while taking that supplement. My weight dropped, inches disappeared and my skin is clear. None of my clothes fit, and did you see my after pictures, I have on a two piece?! It is completely phenomenal!!
People keep walking up to me saying, you look great, how did you do it? My pastor is using me as an example in his sermons, and almost the whole congregation has joined a gym. This challenge was just what I needed to get myself together. My self esteem has increased and I feel powerful. My life has changed. I started a business, a non-profit organization and bought a home. I found out that a change in diet, exercise and the right supplements can change everything! Thank you Hydroxycut for opening up the opportunity and presenting the possibility!!

Great job!!!!

Yeah, that forum was taken over by an overgrown slice of stinky cheese. He can keep it  I looked through and have seen some great transformation over here too. Ending date here is the 30th? I'm thinking you may have a bunch more posting on that very last day. It'll probably be the same over there.
Whoever isn't done, don't give up. No matter what you do finish.

I'm no expert, but I wouldn't mess with what some of the guys are doing. The whole sodium deal and cutting out water. I say drink plenty of water. Plenty of water means your body doesn't feel a need to retain. I would personally start taking pics a day or two away from the end. I would do two sets a day. Then pic the best set to post. Never know what may make a picture look better or worse. If you are wanting muscle to show you can pump up a little. Meaning doing a few simple exercises before a set of pictures. Just simple to get the blood moving through the muscles. They say don't "pump" up the legs or abs. These are the things I plan on doing for my end photos. Won't be anywhere near being where I'd like to be, so I don't have any hope of actually winning. But... I am finishing. I worked hard the whole time and have no real regrets. I think I can attribute that feeling to simply not giving up and finishing. That's why I said whatever you do finish. You will end up regretting it if you don't. It takes courage and strength to finish. Something to feel good about even if you aren't where you'd like just yet!
Good luck to each and every one of you.

 Good for you! I'm doing the same. Try taking pictures the day before too. So you can get the set that you feel is the best.

I did nothing special for my pictures. Just ate and drank regular. Ate extra carbs and pumped up, felt great. Seems like you know what your talking about so stick with it.

I am waiting until the last minute too! Especially since it took me sooo long before I even started losing weight (according to the scale) but I was still losing inches and bodyfat. I just wish I had a better camera!

You mean the fake pics?  I've come to be comfortable with the fact that I'm not winning anything. I have put in more hard work than a lot of those guys. I'm not getting down on anyone who made changes, but some had to work harder to achieve the results they have. I've gotta just be happy with the major changes I have made. My family are amazed and proud of me. I'm proud of a lot of the guys who have been supportive and have put in major work as well. It seems like those who had a better starting point feel the need to tear at others and are rather cocky. I dun wanna ever be like that!

I was supportive the entire time  Wish some of those guys who are talking about hadn't messed things up. The good posters were pretty much driven off by those few. No one wants to read that terrible stuff. Feels good to be supportive and to help motivate others. I can't see how it is fun or helpful to tear others down  You ladies obviously know how to treat each other. That is a fantastic way to way to make everyone feel accomplished.

I have never been a fan of the guy to say the least. He said that the only reason I could have gained weight was because I had a baby. Funny thing is I dont recall asking him his opinion. To my surprise ,when I stated I did not in fact have any children he never apologized. I found it interesting a few pages later that he said he gained his weight during a trip in Mexico. I guess for men its different . . .
Anyway, I thought the all time low for him came when you posted your final pics and he re-cut and pasted them in a new post with his winning pictures from last year. He then proceeded to verbally bash you from all angles. I was horrified that someone would do such a thing. Especially from someone that won. That was not very nice and I know that if it was me I would have been devastated and cried. You worked so hard and then it was time for your moment and he crushed it. Im glad though that you stood up to him and was able to see past it and only reflect on the good things that came out of the contest. Im very impressed with your transformation as you already know. You should be proud because you look great. I hope that Muscle Tech takes other things in to consideration when they choose their winners as a transformation is not just physical but mental too . . .

Your absolutely right! Thats the only good thing about all that weight I carried on me for so long . . . it humbled me and I will never ever forget what it was like to be that girl who weighed 275 pounds. I couldnt even forget even if I tried . . . some memories of being that heavy will forever be in my mind. But, its ok because like you said it feels good to be supportive and help motivate others which makes it worth it! Your transformation Mykel is extremely incredible because of where you started. You must be feeling on top of the world. I cant wait to see your final pics!!!

Hey! So that's where all you guys went! Don't let the pettiness get to ya! Still some positive vibes going on in MT thread!
I have to admit, the scenery is much better on this side of the fence!
You ladies are all to be commended, looks like you are working hard! I'm sure the judges will have a heck of a time selecting a winner from all the fantastic transformations!
Congratulations to those who saw it through to the end, you are all winners!

Hwy2Hottie's Transformation
Essay:
I started this program at a time desperate for motivation. The Hydroxycut Max! Transformation contest on Bodybuilding.com was the perfect push for my continuing weight loss journey. I needed some assistance with my hunger cravings and my energy levels and Hydroxycut Max! hit the spot. I have recommended it to several others, and have encouraged them to join the contest. As a two-year Bodyspace member, I knew that the encouragements of my friends on the site, along with the blogging were going to get me through each of the pounds lost! My meal plan stayed on schedule because I was able to wait for the planned time instead of eating too much or too frequently. My cravings became nonexistent! My workouts intensified and my endurance boosted, allowing me to put in more effort towards weight training and extra time into cardio. In a very short period, with a major increase in core and weight training, I lost 15 pounds and decreased my body fat by over 12%!!! My clothes are falling off of me and none of my belts fit. I went from a size 12 to a size 8! I recommend Hydroxycut Max! to other women who want to put the jumpstart in their fat-burning regimen. And when it runs out, order some more! I'm on my second 210 count bottle! Thank you, Hydroxycut Max!, for creating such an incredible fat burner for women!
