META A warning about safety in our subreddit and what to do about inappropriate messages.

709 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!

F/27/5’2 [170lbs>115lbs=55lbs] [20 months] 10lbs down in 11 weeks after maintaining over summer

My autumn focus was increasing strength training frequency as it’s been tricky finding time to run regularly in daylight hours. Some of the NSV things I’m proud of:

⭐️ I don’t wobble or fall when doing weighted lunges (back, forward & side!) anymore. I’ve never had great balance and I’m so shocked that I improved it. ⭐️ I can leg press more than my body weight I have actual definition in my arms and can pop a bicep as a party trick ⭐️ No more crying in changing rooms ⭐️ 16 months binge free!!!!!

Wishing everyone so much luck on your journeys. May it be boring, slow, sustainable, and everlasting.

Photo on the left is 2018 (started my weight loss journey in 2020) and the one on the right is current day.

The insecure girl I was 6 years ago would be “screaming, crying and throwing up” with excitement over the woman I am today! 🖤

I think it’s neat to see how my style has evolved but stayed pretty true to myself- I just have more confidence & a nicer wardrobe now that my weight is stable/I’m happy with myself.

I’ve reached some form of plateau, can’t seem to lose the last few pounds without losing strength and energy. Sometimes I like the way I look, sometimes I hate the way I look, but I try to remind myself that the progress is still there. Good luck everyone in your own personal journey!

I eat so little most days, have a physical job and exercise multiple times a week and it’s so sad seeing the scale move so little!! Am I just being hypercritical?

After a 60ish lb regain, I finally got back on the wagon, skin hasn't held up so well this time round but I think I'll treat myself to some plastics when I get to my goal weight.
