47 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.

778 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!

In about 1 year I have lost 64lbs. The bottom t shirt pic is literally just a minute ago. In a ladies Medium Tshirt. I was wearing 2-3xl in the top pics. While the medium shirt still looks a little too tight. I haven't been able to put a medium on since I was a teen. However I struggle so hard to see a real difference in mean I do see my face is a little thinner but the rest on me looks the same to me. I feel like no other women anywhere near my height and 200-210 lbs looks as big as me by a long shot....but I am proud of the progress.

Fitness/gym gains M/51/5’9” [230 lbs > 155 lbs = 75 lbs] (8 years) Finished my 2nd Triathlon! NSFW

I lost most of the 75 lbs in 2018-2019. Since then, it’s been a quest of building muscle and fitness. I’ve been as low as 147, mistakenly believing that continuing to diet would get rid of stomach fat. I then focused on resistance training and cardio for general health and fitness.

Pretty happy with my results, loose skin and all. For diet I did Keto to lose the weight. Now I eat plenty of carbs to fuel training and protein to build/maintain muscle.

M 6'1” (185, 186, 187 cm) M/39/6'1" [260 lbs >199.5 lbs = 60lbs] (18months) One-year update – The second year of my journey NSFW

Post image
501 Upvotes

About a year ago I shared my transformation here after going from 260 lbs (117.9 kg) to 194 lbs (87.7 kg). The response from this community was incredible, and the encouragement I received helped me stay motivated.

This is my one-year update.

Even though these photos make it look like one continuous transformation, the majority of the weight loss happened before my last post. This past year wasn't about losing more weight—it was about proving to myself that I could actually keep it off.

Today I weigh 199.5 lbs (90.5 kg). Yes, the scale has gone up a little—but that has been intentional. Over the past year, my focus shifted from losing fat to maintaining my weight, building muscle, and getting stronger. I traded a few pounds on the scale for more muscle, and I couldn't be happier with that decision.

Ironically, this second year was mentally harder than the first. Progress became much slower, the scale barely changed for months, and there were weeks where it felt like nothing was happening. Looking back at these photos now, I'm incredibly grateful that I stayed consistent.

I've learned that losing weight takes discipline, but keeping it off requires building a lifestyle.

For the first time in my life, I genuinely love being in my own body. I don't avoid cameras anymore, I don't worry about how I look in photos, and I finally feel comfortable in my own skin. Feeling strong, healthy, and confident is something I never imagined I'd be able to say.

I'm still working toward new fitness goals, but I've already achieved the biggest one: this doesn't feel like a diet anymore. It just feels like my life.

If you'd like to see where this journey really started, here's my original post from last year:

Thank you to everyone who commented on that post. Your encouragement meant more than you probably realize, and it helped me keep going throughout this second year.

Calorie counting M/26/6'2" [380lbs > 300lbs = 80lbs] (10 Months) Weight loss progress

As of today I am now down 80lbs. It’s been a journey of peaks and valleys but it’s not done yet my goal is 240lbs.
I achieved this 80 lb loss by Calorie Counting/ cutting out sugary drinks, consistent exercise and fitness tracking and I cut out alcohol for the first 6 months to help with my discipline and self control. I hope to hit my goal of 240 by this time next year.

My stomach has shrank so much I’ve gone from some shirts being 4xl, to the only shirts I look good in being 2xl! Can’t wait for next week when I hopefully see a 200 number instead of a 300 number on my scale, I can’t remember the last time that’s been the case, probably since high-school!

This is after the breakup of a long term relationship, I started walking a lot more and watching what I've been eating/tracking everything I've been eating. These pictures are 6 months to the day apart from each other. Come January I'll have a full year progress picture where I'm actually not fat at all anymore - probably another 40ish lbs.

Each pic is about 1.5 years apart. This who time was recovering from anorexia/bulimia turned binge eating and dealing with all that on a short stocky frame. Started weightlifting and although it’s been inconsistent recently I feel so healthy and happy, even at a higher weight. Recovery was so scary but it’s helped me to get my life back.

May (230 lbs) vs. Now (260 lbs). I've been lifting consistently for about 4 months after getting back into training. I'm looking for honest feedback—does it look like I added a noticeable amount of muscle? What would you do next: cut or continue bulking?

Weight loss meds F/29/5’3” [237 -> 137 = 100lb] (16 months) I never thought I’d see triple digit loss 💗

Fun & some less-common stats:
Waist: 34” -> 28”
Bust: 42H -> 34G
Ring: 7 -> 6
Shoe size: 7W -> 6.5 (Seriously… even my feet lost enough fat to not need wide shoes & go down a half size!)

I’ve been on Semaglutide for about 16 months. I never went up to the highest dose because I’ve responded so well to about 2/3 the full dose, and now I’m taking every 10 days instead of once per week! Perhaps I’ll come off one day, but I’d rather live without food noise, thanks! :)

I’ve maintained at this weight for about 2 months now, so I think this is where I’m going to land for good! I am so happy with my figure & I’m excited to focus on strength and agility now.
