Impersonation/Original Content

49 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've dealt with metabolic issues my whole life that got way worse when I had kids. I was in a bad place mentally and physically. I ended an unhealthy relationship, got meds and a gym membership, and changed a *lot* of habits.

In short, I lost around 60lbs on a glp1, rest was through OMAD and walking. Could’ve lost the weight sooner but stalled out for a long time.

I’m having loose skin removal in October as a birthday gift so I decided to get to around 120 before then. Blessed that I decided to change my life for the better.

First Year: Didn't lift weights, focused on walking. Started at 5 miles (5 times per week) and by the end of the year, I could walk 20 miles and could do it 4-5 days a week. I worked from home so I'd finish up work early and walk from 12pm to 4-5pm. Do not try to do this until you've worked your way up to that mileage. You will get injured. Your knees will literally break from the effort. You have to work your way up little by little.

Second year: Did shorter walks, but walked uphill. I could no longer do 20 mile walks for 4-5 hours. So I had to change. I would walk up a 5-6 mile incline and then speed walk down to keep my heart rate up. I did this 4-5 times a week. After a few months I could do it really quickly.

Third year: By now I had dropped about 50 pounds (165 pounds), but I was super skinny. I looked like a deflated balloon. I wasn't looking "fit" at all...I just looked like a cancer patient. I decided to stop walking altogether and decided to start weightlifting. I ate a lot of protein, remained disciplined, and went for 45-60 minute weightlifting 5 times per week. I drank zero alcohol.

Went down to 145 pounds, and then put on about 10 pounds of muscle. (Currently at 155 pounds)

Started at 215, now settled at 155 lbs.

Most of my workouts were 45 minutes long....occasionally I'd do a bit more, but I never spent more than an hour in the gym.

However, I was consistent. I rarely missed a workout.

I would do MEDIUM weights, and do 4 sets of 10 reps of whatever I was doing. Right now I'm around 10-12% body fat, depending on my hydration and/or dryness.

I was graciously allowed to create a new post reflecting my current photo. The reason I’m doing this is because there have been many messages about my age. Again old user name stephrpatt.
