So\u2019s Sharon, for that matter!&nbsp; Back to Olly.&nbsp; He was always in decent shape.&nbsp; He looked good in clothes \u2013 you know, like <strong>Darren Criss<\/strong>.&nbsp; Also like Darren, Olly decided he\u2019d like to look good out of clothes.&nbsp; For his <em>New Year\u2019s Resolution<\/em>, he whipped himself into shape by doing what was called a \u201c12-week gym transformation\u201d.&nbsp; Of course, it also included a drastic diet.&nbsp; And that\u2019s how the photos went public \u2013 Olly\u2019s nutritionist is the one who shared the photos.&nbsp; Then someone else took the before and after pics and started a poll asking if you preferred the before or after Olly.&nbsp; The results were quite staggering.&nbsp; While the vast majority of men preferred the \u201cafter\u201d photo, the women by and large chose&#8230;well, the larger photo.&nbsp; Personally, I was happy with his progress by Week Four.&nbsp; You can check out Murs\u2019 incredible transformation on <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.billymasters.com\/\">BillyMasters.com<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.billymasters.com\/custom\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/colorbar1.gif\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-568\" src=\"http:\/\/www.billymasters.com\/custom\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/colorbar1.gif\" alt=\"colorbar1\" width=\"500\" height=\"1\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>When I\u2019m trying to find a trainer and nutritionist with a \u201cfirst month free\u201d special, it\u2019s time to end yet another column.&nbsp;
