Bodysport Spring 2010 Transformation Challenge

Rules:

• You must be at least 18 years old to enter and you must be a legal resident and reside in continental United States of America.

• The Bodysport Transformation Challenge is a 12 week challenge. You can enter any time between January 10/2010 and midnight February 1/2010 pacific standard time. Your individual 12 week challenge begins the day you enter and ends exactly 12 weeks after the day you enter. We will provide you with your end date so you are clear as to when you must provide your “after” picture.

• We have created a password protected forum for all of the Bodysport Transformation Challenge entrants only and each entrant will be provided with their own thread on that forum. We will create and start your thread for you by posting your before pictures. The password MUST remain confidential to Bodysport Transformation Challenge entrants and Bodysport staff and designees ONLY. Every entrant will be required to post on their thread at least once a week every week of the challenge. If you do not post on your TRANSFORMATION forum thread at least once a week you will be disqualified from the judging portion of the Bodysport Transformation Challenge. You will find that posting gives you a level of accountability and support from others that will help you during difficult times. You can post about the ups and downs, successes and slips if there are any, and of course ask questions. The Bodysport forums are educational, inspirational, and motivational and you will find the Transformation Challenge forums to be the same. Your commitment to the challenge and the fitness lifestyle may be factored into the final judging if need be.

• To enter the Bodysport Transformation Challenge you must submit by email to the email address listed below, the following:

- 3 images of yourself in clothing that reveals your body sufficiently to make a visual assessment of your overall condition. You must submit one full-length photograph facing front holding a newspaper clearly displaying the date on the newspaper. If the picture is not clear then do a closer shot cropped at the knees. The date on the newspaper will be the start date for your Bodysport transformation challenge. The second shot must be a full length side profile and the third picture must be a full length photograph of the back side of your body. These pictures should show the entire length of your body with as little extra background as possible. You will need to take these “before” pictures in a manner that allows the judges to assess your overall physical condition and appearance.
- You will also be required to submit 3 pictures from the same three side of your body on the date your 12-week challenge ends. All pictures must be clear, well lit, and unobstructed to easily assess your progress over the 12 week time period. We recommend all pictures be taken with the camera held at waist level, at the identical location, and the identical distance away from the subject so the images can be properly compared.
- You must submit in the entry email your first and last name, your date of birth and age, your address complete with city, state and zip as well as your phone number and email.
- You must also submit a 250 word essay on why you entered the transformation challenge, what your goals are, and what do you want your life to be like when you reach your fitness goals.
- We will provide you with the end date of your transformation challenge. On that date you must submit your 3 “after” pictures taken the same way as the “before” pictures including a full length back , side profile picture and facing front picture.

Hello,

I took my pictures tonight and noticed that even with it cropped at the knees for the front view picture; the date on the newspaper is really hard to see if at all. Any suggestions?

Thank you,
Pam

I had the same problem i took an extra pick close up...with the paper not sure they will use it but it verifies date

[Terry]

No problems. Take a shot holding the paper then take a close up of the paper. The front page will obviously be the same and in the close up we can see the date. Thanks very much girls, we are very excited for all of you!!

[Rhiannon]

Although I can't see whats going on in there I would like to say how awesome you all are for doing this, for taking the time to focus on you and to motivate others.

Good luck!

[MauiSun]

THANKS Rhiannon!!! Much appreciated.... just the first week has been amazing when you truly push and focus! Tasha has been pushing me and I am loving it.

To clarify - we don't "enter" until our essay is complete and pictures are attached??? Thanks.

That's right Liz... You have to email your essay and before pics and when you do this, Ana will start your thread that day and this is considered your "start" date, then you have 12 weeks from that date. She will post your end date once you officially enter.

Good luck Liz!!!!

Thanks Liza. I've been off the grid for a few weeks getting the new Bodysport built so thanks to Ana and Liza for holding down the fort over here!

I am writing my essay now and I am already over the 250 word requirement! Will I be disqualified if I write too much? Or is it a word minimum rather than a maximum? Please respond ASAP!!! Thanks

Hi there... it's okay if you go over a bit... 250 words is max word, but more of a guideline... as per Terry. So you will not get disqualified, just make an effort to avoid getting too lengthy over this amount and good luck !

I know this is kind of late, but if I still want to enter the challenge and tonight is the deadline...what do I do if I don't have a newspaper? I've been taking progress pics of myself for the last 3 weeks. Is there any way I can use those? The newspaper is my only issue. Thanks!

MauiSun...I had the same problem with my photos today. I couldn't get the date to be visible unless I cropped at the chest! Maybe some newspapers have a larger date than my local one. Lol.
