MellowGa

OK not really a competition.....

But who ever is interested in joining.....

We take a picture of ourselves in a bathing suit...

June 1st
July 1st
august 1st
September 1st

and post it on this thread.....thus seeing our body change over the summer and giving us motivation to get our bodies in shape.

Anyone want to join me? So get your camera's charged and take a pic next wed......let's see what we can do together!

Akaratel

I am not sure how to make the pictures side by side like people do

HappyathomeMN

I'm in for that! VERY scared for the first pic though!!!

Heather75

Aww. You just want to look at the pretty ladies in their swimsuits, don't you? ;p

etjaneausten

Great idea, but.... NO WAY! Couldn't handle the image of myself like that YET.

MoLivesLuvsLifts

I'm in! However, my pix will be of me in capris, then shorts and then to progress to a swimming suit...hopefully! At 265lbs, I don't own a swimming suit.

Come on MEN - join too!

booberj

I don't think anyone here wants to see this in a bathing suit... but I'll join ya... putting reminder in calendar to take pic... if someone needs assistance with setting up two pics side by side let me know and I'll either can do it for you or try to help with whatever program you are using to do it in

Ok I'm in.

I'll be a secret competitor, like the BL....lol cuz I'm not posting a picture in a bathing suit, 1 cuz I'm SKEERED of that:noway: and 2 because I am way way way too modest.:blushing:

I'm going to follow along though and take them on those days. Thanks for the motivation.:flowerforyou:

I think this is a great idea! I'm not sure I'll post my pics, though.

I recently bought a suit in my usual size only to find it was a little too big. My smaller size should be in on June 1st, but it's definitely going to be a bit snug. If it's not too obscene, I'll post a pic, lol.

MellowGa

this is a no stress "competition" just simply for those who wish to post, you can edit out your head if you want...hehe.

But this is two part...

getting motivated to working out...

also building the self confidence to show your body to the world.

many of us have self confidence issues, lets start to break those barriers down.

side to side won't be needed but I am sure we can figure out how to do them as a group.

those who are in...fantastic....those who wish to participate privately...go for it, just be true to yourself!

MellowGa

yes we would like even numbers of men and women, so Men, step up...be part of this.

Mtsidad

How about I post a picture of me at Walmart in the swimsuit section? Looking at them, maybe.

etjaneausten

I actually just took pictures of myself in a bathing suit recently for this particular reason - I wanted to compare my body now and in future months... i figured that if I have a print out picture of what I look like now, and an inspiring picture of what I want to achive,, it helps to keep me motivated. Great idea and I hope it works for everyone!
I'm unfortunately too shy to upload any pictures of myself but will however, continue to do this privately..

fitmom4ever

I think this is a great idea!!! I'm totally in. Don't know how much progress I'll be seeing, but I would love to see an improvement in self-confidence!

KChristie976

I'm in.

Here's my June 1st

Apologies ahead of time. . .





I actually took this a couple days ago when I bought It but I can't imagine I look much different now.

CanuckLove

This a brave thread Great motivation to look good though!! I love it

lynnmarsh52

Okay - I'm in! I suppose it will be worth it in the end when you see the last pictures. I'm nearing the end of my weight loss, but I have recently started in Insanity, so there had better be a fabulous improvement in my pictures or I won't be happy!! lol

Pebble321

Gee, I wish I could join in, but it's not summer in my hemisphere - way too chilly to put on a bathing suit.
And my old one was too big so I got rid of it and I can't buy a new one until summer, there aren't any in the shops....
Ummm, can I think of any more excuses not to post a pic :laugh:

Seriously though, it's a great idea, I've been taking pics in my workout gear and I can really see the difference.

lynnmarsh52

Okay - so this is my June 1st pic! I'd like to know why there have only been 2 of us who have posted! lol
