Shortly after I posted the website redirected the page to another, different "transformation" (thankfully.) So if you were looking at the really ripped tan blond, then no, not me.
I guess the site has been having problems with people falsely sending in "their" transformations. I'm not the only one.
Ah... gotcha! I was wondering what the heck kind of body building regimen you were on!!!
Okay, the trick to this is - if you posted them on a file hosting site like Flickr or photobucket the legal aspects can be INSANELY tricky. Because those sites - when you click agree under the user agreements - give up your rights under a creative commons license. But in order to use your image - they need a model agreement, which you, yourself, have to sign. It is also considered false advertising. You need to contact a lawyer because you are now owed a substantial sum of money for defamation (you being a before picture is just... well they suck) Seriously. Contact an attorney.
xYourBelleMortex - bodybuilding.com isn't the one who stole the photos. Basically, anyone can find photos and submit them for a transformation and then scam bodybuilding.com for $50.00 store credit. A snaky person did that, a member of their site, not anyone involved in their corporation.
My heart is with 3FC, but bodybuilding.com is also a great resource with over a million members on their website. It's a well respected website, they don't need to steal photos for publicity. Because of having so many members I'd imagine it's difficult, if not impossible to verify the transformations. Again, I just think it was a matter of an unscrupulous stranger - not not not them. Someone stealing photos from Zenor to steal money from bodybuilding.com.
I recognized Zenor and realized what had happened when the stories didn't match and alerted her. I feel very badly for her as she was sharing her triumph and giving others inspiration only to be taken advantage of. To boot, it's really freaking creepy.
I didn't and don't want to create bad publicity for bodybuilding.com, I heart them!

Ohhhhhhh gooooootcha. See, I had only visited that one site that she had posted and it resembled an advertisement. I didn't poke around too too much. Yeah, the whole thing sucks and I posted a note on my journal to make sure everyone watermarks their stuff.
