**** The Official 2011 Bodybuilding.com/ON $100,000 Transformation Challenge! ****

[Koyasha]

Good luck everyone! I wish I lived in the States

I think I'm gonna start a transformation the day after tomorrow and just start a thread for those willing to do a 12-week-transformation outside of the US. Just for the motivation. I wish I could participate in the official one but I understand that we can't.

I'll be cheering on you guys, though!

[Kilim]

Even though a Journal/Log is not required I made one anyways.
Was already keeping a Journal but just made a new one to make things neat and tidy.

Now theres an attitude you don't find too often! Props to you for turning a negative into a positive! I'll definitely be behind you and others that want to start something up on the side.

I like that! I at first thought that I had jipped myself by signing up before Christmas, but I like what you said about hitting the new year running instead of sluggish....I love that!

Thanks! Even though I'm sure some individuals looking from the outside in are thinking we are crazy for starting it before the holidays (at least my co-workers are,lol) but I really think we will be better for it. Could've been an extra 5 lbs from peanut butter fudge we had to lose on top of the weight already in the new year! I think its exciting just going for it. It's too easy to say "oh I'll start Monday" on a Friday. If you are unhappy with yourself, why would you want to spend 3 more days living that same lifestyle thats brining you down?

So here's to all of us doing it before the holidays...may we be sexy beasts strutting around the Arnold Classic in early March!

You're right! Starting before the holidays probably makes it harder but it sure will make it worth it. And yes...one sexy beast already here!!! hahaha JK....maybe in March

[lpjdavis]

I going to get in on this transformation, starting after christmas obviously.
Even though I can't win anything (live in Aus) I will still try my best and see what happens.

How come all the Transformation contests happen oversea's? Does Australia have any?

[razor_ramon]

Will the personalized nutrition program be changed every week or is it the same menu for 12 weeks.

[Str8EdgeAthlete]

Good luck to everyone. This is a great thing to be involved in. Keep your goals in sight!

Its just a layout for reference.You will get the hang of it quick and be
able to it on your own.

Morning all!

Just started the contest last night. The timing is great as I had a bunch of issues stalling my progress this year so just the motivation to get me back on track.

Started up my old log to track progress in my sig.

Goal is to drop 30+ lbs over the course of the contest and hopefully get visible abs for the first time in my life!

Good luck all!

Thank you so much, guys!

And yes, I'll be starting before the holidays! I'm gonna go grocery shopping today and then weigh myself tomorrow and take pics!

some people will never understand what makes people like us tick. it is to easy for them to be lazy.

im looking forward to being a sexy ass beast come march

Doing it before the holidays is the way go.doing it now is taking action. Doing it on xx date is leaving room for failure imo. Not that any one who is waiting is going to fail but its just a different way of looking at it.

My supps showed up yesterday! Started my new stack.tomorrow should be an intense back workout!

[muskles26]

[tjwoody]

I am so in on this too! Dealing with a shoulder issue preventing me from lifting so gonna need a week or 2 ta start!

[cm.fellows]

So I love the meal plan. I haven't ever taken the time to prepare my food at the begining of the week but it has help so much. I am never hungry and I have a hard time consuming that much food. I have way more energy and my mood is better too. Thank you bodybuilding.com for helping me reach my goals.

[Derk4397]

Definitely in, waiting for my supps to arrive.

[aashishmehrotra]

The contest should be expanded to a wider range.atleast include India All geared up but no contest to enter coz of where I stay.

[bambiemcfly]

What better timing!! It's been a rough year for so many people.. Let's make 2011 count! I can't believe what my body looks like after a year of basically overtraining and crash dieting for competitions (yes I know that's not how it's done)then rebounding..HARD. Its time to clean it up. I'm about to post the before pictures and oh, is it bad! Its truly embarrassing!! It takes balls to do what were about to do! Good luck!!

[wstsidetat]

I'm in! Will be registering January 8th. I got to have time to get a game plan. 12 weeks is 12 weeks. I need some time to get focused, and have rock solid plan. This would be a great nest egg for my daughters college savings! Good luck everyone

[Rufflez]

Do we have to use an American newspaper? I don't even read the newspaper, but I think my parents read it

You can get a newspaper at the store for around a dollar.

Went and bought my newspaper this morning. Grabbed some groceries since i was out, talk about a MADHOUSE at the grocery store.

Going to take my pics this evening. I don't know why the date on the newspaper is so tiny but I'm going to make sure to take a close up with the paper to show the date and the pics since i'm sure the pics will be more visible in the full body shot.

Hope you all had a successful day!

That's my question, how are they gonna read the date on a newspaper in a full body shot?

Take a close up of the newspaper as the 4th shot.
