Impersonation/Original Content

52 Upvotes

Good Afternoon to our wonderful r/progresspics community!

Myself and the rest of the mod team want to wish you a belated seasons greetings and hope whatever your goals for 2026 may have been that they are going strong and you are CRUSHING them.

It is no secret that between AI and the long standing bots we often get pics posted that are clearly fake or they are people impersonation or ,better yet, stealing content/pictures of people on social media. I know myself and I am sure I speak for the rest of the team LOVEEEE how great you all are at reporting things to us (not just the topic at hand either). But we need your help with this particular situation.

Despite what some angry people on our ban lists might think us mods are not basement dwelling, jobless, welfare sucking, pimple faced, free speech hating people. We all have lives, jobs, some have kids, social lives, so on and so on. We can not know the face, abs, butts or biceps of every many/women/they/them on the internet. So if you are going to report a post for impersonation or stealing someone elses content please try to either modmail us the link to the correct socials! This will help give us a few more tools to help fight the fakes and spammers.

Hope you all have a great Wednesday!

META A warning about safety in our subreddit and what to do about inappropriate messages.

780 Upvotes

Hi progresspics! We always strive to keep the subreddit as safe as possible, however, unsolicited/inappropriate Direct messages are always a possibility and unfortunately not one we can 100% prevent. While we hope people never receive anything that makes them uncomfortable, here are the steps you can take to report anyone who gets creepy in your DMs:

  1. report the user to us!

    -take screen shots of the messages, it doesn’t have to be the whole conversation, just make sure we can see their user name, and the inappropriate part.

-upload the screens to imgur and send us a link via modmail.

all users reported to us for acting inappropriately will be permanently banned, however, this doesn’t stop them from viewing the subreddit, or continuing to dm you, so..

2) report the user directly to reddit at reddit.com/report

3) block the user! Simply go onto their profile and click the three corner dots (mobile) or the “more options” button (desktop) to find the option.

To prevent ALL DM's you can disable the DM and chat request options like so:

Mobile: settings > account settings > blocking and permissions.

Desktop: User settings > chat and messaging.

As an aside, a note on image theft:

it's been brought to our attention multiple times over the last month or so that a few content farm websites and social media accounts have been reposting pictures from here, while there isn't much that we can do to stop that we do want to remind everyone that it is a potential outcome to posting your images online, especially in areas with a large pool of specific content to farm from, while we do not allow users to promote their social media, including the use of watermark handles, you may watermark your posts with your REDDIT user name if you so wish.

We hope you all stay as safe as possible and know that any problems or questions can be sent into our modmail. Keep it clean, keep it safe, and read the rules before posting!

I stayed at around 212 lbs for a year and I think that might be the reason I have no loose skin.

I will be starting weight training soon because at this point it’s harder to lose just by walking. I stopped walking November last year up until May.

In May I started again with only 10 min and build up psychologic tolerance. I felt depressed and low after many life events. I now walk around 50 min. It’s the way to do for me to not fail at trying to build habit. I just start very slowly and increase, I learned that after many quits.

I eat everything I want but in moderation and focus on always having protein with every meal.

About to hit 53, was tired of being lonely chubby out of shape single mom and put it all into the gym.

I lift about 5 days a week, grind out my calories and protein, and now moving onto to if I add mass and increase weights or still cut a few pounds. It's a fun place to be.

Through the roof change of life in all ways. I feel amazing. Buying new clothes is still shocking. It's shocking to be in a size s.

It's so freeing to not grimmace for a photo or ...need 99 photos to find one decent one.

It's freeing to be so strong, feeling sexier and enjoying dating and living life. After hiding from life too long.

I am building " the art of the possible" , life wise right now. And what a gift.

Progress. Redemption. Life.

Hard work and discipline I was seriously lacking before. I was lazy, I was mean, I was unhappy, I draink too much, ..the sun was too bright to walk in most days .

..now ... This is shangri la, this is nirvana , this is peace, my mind and body are Teflon coated against turmoil and pain.

Finally, living a real life that doesn't hide in the shadows of others.

Thanks for letting me share.

Calorie counting F/31/5’1.4” [163.1 lbs > 119 lbs = 44.1 lbs lost] (8 Years) Weight Loss Progress

Title
F/31/5'1.4" 163.1 lbs \> 119 lbs \= 44.1 lbs lost (8 Years) Weight Loss Progress
Reddit post
I started my weight-loss journey at the end of 2018, when I was 23 years old and weighed 74 kg (163 lbs). Through calorie counting and exercise, mainly yoga and walking, I gradually lost weight and reached 54 kg (119 lbs).
A lot has happened in these years! I got married in June 2020 and welcomed my baby boy in September 2024. Despite all these life changes, I've managed to maintain my weight around 54 kg for the past two years.
I'll be turning 32 next year, and looking back at my journey makes me proud of how far I've come. ❤️
My approach has mainly been calorie counting, walking, and yoga. No extreme diets or intense workouts.
Sharing my progress as a reminder that slow and consistent changes can add up over time!
Total weight lost: 20 kg (44 lbs).
If you've been on a similar journey, I'd love to hear how you've maintained your weight over the years!

I lost 25 pounds my first year and started on a GLP-1 in January 2026. Since then have lost an additional 30 pounds. I ran one marathon fall of 2025 and two more this fall. It’s been a long and slow road but very rewarding.

ADVICE WELCOME

first picture was 1 year ago (let myself go after son was born)

last picture from this month

should i stop cutting at this point and eat at maintenance for a month then lean bulk?

i feel like cutting any further is not going to help my physique, i feel like i need more muscle to look better at sub 15% body fat

1 year ago - 190lbs almost 30%bf

this month 155lbs and about 15% bf

im fairly convinced at this point i need to focus on building muscle?

TIA!

Fitness/gym gains F/28/5’2” [213 lbs > 148 lbs = 65 lbs] (18 months) Did that NSFW

This is BY FAR the most revealing thing I’ve ever put on the internet, so please don’t be weird to me. I spook easily 🤣

(April 2025) 213 lbs > 148 lbs (October 2026) = 65 lbs weight change

I developed a serious workout habit and utilized a GLP-1 to do what I’ve been calling “the ultimate body recomp”. I didn’t lose ANY muscle OR bone. In fact, I put on 15 lbs of muscle and 2 lb of bone mass. So I actually lost 82 lbs of fat mass, and added back 17 lbs of lean mass, ending up with a 65 lb scale difference.

I’m doing strength training 3 days a week, and advanced classical Pilates 2 days a week. 1 day a week I do something “new”, either yoga, barre, or sculpt.

I just got a reformer for the house, so I’m looking forward to doing Pilates more frequently and using it for recovery from heavy gym days. I’ve been a fan of doubling-up recently, i.e, a heavy lifting session in the morning followed by Pilates at night.

Happy to get an ego boost posting on here, but don’t take it too far (I’m talking to you, random DM’ers).

Hello! I am 27years old. 6'2 In June of 2026 I was 205lbs. I felt a decrease in my energy motivation and overall agility. I switched to light beer, cut sugar out of my drinks, and added a 3/4 mile run every Saturday (7-10 miles a week) and starting doing 10 pull-ups a day. Hopes this helps someone!
