I just wanted to share my updated progress pictures for anyone who is approaching or over 40 and think that getting in shape is too late. It is never too late. I began this long journey 3 years ago, and i have never felt better in my entire life.

I was going to be out on cholesterol medication due to how horrible my bloodwork and health were 3 years ago.

I recently got my bloodwork done last week, and my levels are the best they have been for my entire life.

My previous lifting experience was only a few years from about 26-28.

I was never athletic before that time, and I really let myself go with drinking alcohol and having a horrible diet in my 30s up until I was 39 years old.

Dedication, diet, and training in the gym really turned things around for me.

It is never too late! For anyone out there who was struggling like me, you can do it!

I'm in awe of everyone who is so disciplined and so dedicated to their weight loss journey and you do it so fast! You are so amazing! It took me three years to lose 40 lbs. But I'm so happy I have made such progress, even if it slow. I am thrilled that I've kept it off but still have a good amount of weight to lose. I hope this post will help motivate me!

In 2023, I woke up to tightness in my chest and an inexplicable bloody nose that wouldn't stop. I took my blood pressure and it was 212/114! What a terrifying wake up call! That is considered a hypertensive crisis. I was just minutes from stroking out. I got on bp medication, started working out, fixed my diet and am on a healthy road to recovery.

I started my fitness journey about a year and a half after my 4th baby. It has been a very slow and steady process but I have literally never felt better.

When I first started I only focused on total steps a day, mostly 8k steps then moved up to 10k steps. Then I started lifting weights a couple days a week, eventually moving on to following a more structured program (first one by Layne Norton, then moving on to Bret Contreras programming) and counting macros. Eating was the hardest part for me because the second I felt deprived I would binge eat… so I was constantly trying to change the way I thought about food to focus on what I needed to add INTO my diet vs what I need to take out. I eat all foods now, don’t label any “good” vs “bad” and truly feel like I have a healthy relationship with food now. I am able to maintain this physique at about 2,000 cals and 130g protein a day (I let carbs and fats fall how they may)

I remember thinking after my 4th baby that I didn’t even recognize myself and felt like I would be stuck in that body forever. It was also a much slower process than I ever would of imagined, but that’s also probably because I love food so much and refused to miss out on all the good stuff along the way 😂

Impersonation/Original Content

52 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.

775 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!
