How about if you write a script that will post your "before" photo at a date specified, but that allows you to submit incremental photos along the way, as you progress toward your fitness goal. When the day for the big reveal finally roles around the script will post the latest image you've sent it -- the fit you in your gym spandex, not the soft you in a swimsuit. Humiliation, milestones, PHP, women in swimsuits...this plan has it all!
