I find a thread within previous contests to post entry photos, but not in this one. Am I to start a new thread? Or is there another place intended?

[Craig Ballantyne]

You don't have to post your before photos. But you can start your own transformation journal and post them there if you want.

Hi Craig- my name is Ali. I am currently finishing off my TT certification and have followed you for a number of years with great success- especially after kids! I am a full time lawyer and mother of a 1 & 2 year old but fitness is my passion and I've been setting up a side business to focus on fitness- Ali Fox Transformations. I am currently kicking off a 12 week challenge that would coincide & promote yours & help get closer to the 1 Million Mission! I've signed up a thread for myself but was wondering if each of my clients need to register separately or if I can submit them at the end of the 12 weeks? I have about 40 clients singed on so far. Thanks Craig! Looking forward to the next 12 weeks!!

Hi TT
Can you please help clear my fuzzy brain regarding the contest end date? Sept 1st start counts to Nov 23 end date by my calcs, making this day 77, but the TT Tip was 79 today. Dec 9th deadline. I realize there will be different end dates for those who started after the 1st, but I'm confused because of the Tip 79 today. I wasn't paying attention to the number until now that the end is near.

So if I started September 1st I would take my after pictures on Saturday 23rd and deadline to submit is Dec 9th. Do I understand that correctly? The date for after pictures is based on the entry date for each person, yes?

Thanks in advance!

Denise

You got it in the last paragraph. Take your before photos on day 1 (ie the day you start) and then day before photos on day 84.

Your calculations are correct. Your last day and the day you take photos is the 23rd of November. Then you need to submit your entry before the 9th of December. This will give you time to write your essay.

Craig usually starts a thread closer to the end day in which you can post you entry. Alternatively you can email it in to support.

Thanks Peter.. The email tips date worried me; I'll have to find my before pictures and double check the date.

Yep the dates are the main thing to get right. Then like I said keep an eye out in the 18th transformation forum for a thread from Craig saying "18th contest entries" or similar and away you go!

All the best with it I hope that you do really well

[SoulSmilen]

Thanks for the well wishes, I'll be sure to keep an eye on the forum! Yup the 23rd is my after date. Wow, hadn't looked at my pictures since we took them.. incredible that I've come so far, yet aggravating that it's been so easy. Makes me even more mad at myself for not doing it sooner, and letting it get that bad to begin with.

Such is life, it's this point forward that matters. Never again!

At least you found your way. Many never do. The secret now is sticking to your new habits and it sounds like you're on track.
