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.

774 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!

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.

F 5'4” (163, 164 cm) F/35/5'4" [235>194.6 = 40.4 lb lost] (6 Months) Celebrating 40lb down!

Put on this shirt this morning and was like "oh wow it's getting noticeably loose" I've had it for years and there were definitely times I wouldn't have been able to fathom it being loose, I haven't worn it in months because I've treated myself to new athletic wear along my journey but threw it on this morning to do some mucky/manual labor and was so pleasantly surprised! I also hit 40lb down this week! Still so far to go, but I'm so proud of the progress I've made. I don't feel like it necessarily looks like 40lb yet most days, but I feel so great and am just continuing forward and excited to see the progress as I hit new milestones!

F 5'5” (165, 166, 167 cm) F/31/5'5" [85KG>85KG] (1 month) Trying to feel better about not losing any weight and feeling frustrated

In both these pictures I am on my period and the pic on the right is the before... I have really tried to be more physically active (HITT, Weight Lifting, yardwork) at least 3 times a week. I have not lost or gained any weight but I have noticed that I am not bloated or puffy anymore. Even before my period no significant bloat.

I have been eating the same foods and same quantity so I did not expect to lost alot of weight but I am very annoyed that not even 1lb.

I feel very frustrated because I eat clean, I do not binge eat, I make sure to hit my fiber and protein as best as I can daily.

Some non-scale victories: much stronger, higher energy levels, more mobility and flexibility, no more pain, my period is much lighter and no cramps, reduced cravings for sugary snacks, better skin and better quality sleep. I know all these things are so good but I feel frustrated still.

2 years ago I hit my highest weight of 309.6 in rehab in 2024 and ever since then I wanted to lose weight. I lost weight slowly until I hit 272.3, then my doctor prescribed me zepbound in February of 2026 and I lost even more weight and now im 217.8. I’m in a bit of a plateau right now so I just wanted to look back and see that I’ve actually made some progress. im kinda embarrassed posting this cuz in no way is my journey done at all and i have a long way to go. ive been doing CICO and logging everything i eat in lose it so thats how ive been tracking everything.

Not very comfortable with showing my face, but I think one can see my progress anyway. I still got a bit to go to be normal weighted, but it's going great! :)
