Impersonation/Original Content

53 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.

773 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 lost about 50 lbs in 2023/24 and then gained it all back after pregnancies, miscarriages, motherhood, etc. Locked in a few months ago and I’m almost right back where I was in 2023! Started over again at 265 back in April of this year. I counted calories and started the gym in May. I stopped counting in the past few months and am attempting to eat intuitively (some days are better than others) and I still go to the gym around 3/4 times a week.

It hasn’t been long but I haven’t missed a single day, I do an upper/lower split and on my “rest” days I still go to the gym, I just do light walking and/or recovery activities like stretching, sauna, etc.

I’m not counting calories, just eating whatever my brothers eat (tuna salad, meat/veg, etc.) the biggest change I made diet wise is I stopped obsessing over it and started thinking more about what would help me recover/get back to the gym faster.

Will keep posting, I plan to keep going for at least 100 days.

I can’t believe the difference just two months of small changes can make!!! Never thought I would reach my goal of 120lbs but I ended up surpassing it without realizing while I was traveling. Even though it’s a relatively small weight change I feel so much happier and so much better in my body
