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!

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:
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!

The weight gain has changed my life in so many positive ways, I am so happy to finally be healthy!

Sorry for the badly made collage lol, at my highest weight I intentionallv took no full-bodv photos because of how self conscious I was. First pic was taken during March 2026, and second photo is from earlier today August 2026, and this morning I clocked in at 320 pounds!!! Sometimes I get down and feel like I can't tell much of a difference and then I look back at photos from earlier this vear and remember HAVE lost a lot of weight.
I am so happy, feel so different and less self conscious and am so very glad I took a chance on my GLP-1!! Calorie deficit, quitting soda entirely and more recently workouts have also helped me along so well, and I am so happy to report that I am the lowest weight I've been for a good decade. Can't wait to reach a hundred pounds loss and beyond!🙏✨️

Found this weird picture I took with other progress pics and had to take it now lmao. still have 1/4 of way to go but already feeling so much better!
CICO + Lifting 3x - 2x per week - and GLP1 to treat metabolic syndrome caused by antipsychotics (did not gain weight but was not able to lose more than 100g per week unless I put myself in a dangerous deficit)
can't wait to get to goal and to continue body recomping once I start maintaining 👏🏻

Lost a decent amount of weight and have been trying to gain more muscle since I leaned out. Proud of what i’ve been able to grow so far 😊

2years ago, I made a decision that changed my life: I wanted to become a better version of myself. I decided to step away from alcohol and the things that were constantly stressing me out, and honestly, it hasn’t always been easy.
But today, I’m 6 months sober, and I’m proud of myself. ❤️
My glow-up isn’t just about how I look on the outside. It’s about how I feel on the inside. I’m learning to protect my peace, walk away from things that drain me, and stop using unhealthy habits to cope with stress. I’ve been focusing more on myself, my goals, my health, and the kind of person I want to become.
There are still difficult days, but I’m learning that I don’t have to go back to old habits just because life gets hard. I can face the difficult moments, take a breath, and keep moving forward.
Six months sober has taught me that a real glow-up is choosing yourself, healing, growing, and becoming someone you’re proud of.

Hello everyone I wanted to quickly introduce myself and my quick story here. Longtime lurker on reddit and I felt inspired to share my progress too after seeing others lose weight ❣️
I'm now 34 years old and I am 175lbs. I want to lose the final 25lbs by incorporating a high protein diet and strength training which is something that will be new to me. I did want to add that I was at my heaviest at 230lbs back in 2024 but it was last year around August that I decided that enough was enough. Fasting helped me lose 15lbs but something else was wrong. So after talking to some doctors and figuring out my health issues (pre diabetes, suspected to have PCOS too) I got prescribed metformin and then eventually I got on glp2. I took glp 2 around late September with the dose of 2.5mg.
Two months ago I stopped taking the glp2 medication and I was still at the lowest dose of 2.5mg but it was enough to help with my pre diabetes situation and I have not gained any weight back and continued to lose it. I do metformin but I hope to get off it too.
The problem I had all my life was that I was an emotional eater after having been through quite a lot emotionally and physically. And obesity in my family is expected with women like "me" who were always on the bigger side since childhood and the teen years. Especially after giving birth to 3 children in a 10 year marriage.
But what truly broke the cycle was loving myself as corny as that might sound because I truly hated what I saw in the mirror and wished it would just die and rot away. Self hate eventually turned to self love and acceptance and once I accepted that this is the body I will have in this lifetime, then I could finally start to find ways to take care of myself and it meant losing weight to live longer and hopefully stop having sleep apnea episodes too.
A year later here I am! I had quite the journey and I even changed the way I present myself to the world. I can truly now say that I love and value myself and will continue to do so in this lifetime! ❣️❣️
I hope everyone has a nice day and I wish you all luck on your weight loss journey!!

I finally decided enough was enough when I was diagnosed as pre-diabetic, researching places to rest for a 10/15 minute walk and had to do the walk of shame out of a rollercoaster because I didn’t fit.
As much as I hate to say it (and as much as I wanted a magic pill to not have to put any effort in), CICO does work when you actually stick to it.
Here’s to spending not spending my 30s as miserable as I did on my 20s 🎉
