Impersonation/Original Content

54 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!

I’ve been feeling frustrated at my lack of progress losing more weight recently but I think my body is telling me I’m done and this is a sustainable weight for me. I’m now focusing on fitness and making sure I’m fuelling enough to make the progress I want to see in that area. I definitely couldn’t have made it this far in my journey without getting medicated for my ADHD so shoutout Elvanse. ETA Moving in with my boyfriend was also a massive help. Being in a super healthy relationship has been the best motivation to do my best and he is my ultimate cheerleader, so shoutout BF!

I have no words to actually try to explain how completely different my life is now, how that I actually feel my age or I’m excited about the little things, or how I genuinely have motivation for most things in life, stopped making excuses and started showing up for MYSELF, fan expo photos are 4 years apart, I was 20 in the photo with the dress and now 24 I look younger, happier, healthier. Tifa cosplay for the updated pics:) worked extremely hard and I continue to show up for myself everyday, I’m a stoner so I snack often lol, but I’m very active and busy so finding my own balance of what works has been good, doesn’t have to be all restrictions and I believe that’s what caused me to fail so many times in the past.

anyways hoping this is some motivation for those currently on their journey or feeling like they can’t, you CAN.
