    Spring Into Summer Picture Challenge

    A spinoff on the Muffin Butt and Lose the Love Handles Challenges.

    (Great idea HEIDI! AND Disco credit is due)

    Here's the deal. You take a picture in pants that don't fit you very well. Tight clothing would be best.

    You copy the contenders list and add your name in a new post. You note whether your starting pictures are up or not.

    The pictures are very important. It PROVES to us that what we are doing is worthwhile. A picture really IS worth a thousand words. We've proven that. Let's do it again!

    Start date for this challenge is March 20, 2008 and goes until the first day of summer, June 21st.

      I'm in.
      40 year old male 6' 3"

      What I know:
      1-Atkins WOE/WOL plan works
      2-I need to always work on the behaviors and triggers that make me over eat.
      3-Atkins WOL is part of the puzzle, but is not the entire thing.
      4-Self-deprecation only feeds our inner ego and not in a good way.

        Since I am in such a huge Pause this might help me focus harder and will definetly encourage me to keep on track so I'm in & I have PLENTY of clothes sitting in my closet that are too tight so the picture shouldn't be a problem.

              People who say it can't be done, should not interrupt those doing it.

                Thanks for having me!

                  No weigh-ins--just pictures--before and after. Last challenge, we had a couple that GAINED a couple of pounds, but their pants fit much better.
