Before photo guidelines

Your before photos are how we track your progress and judge results fairly. Follow every rule below exactly. Photos that don't meet these requirements will NOT be considered.

Before Oct 5 Do NOT submit. Early photos won't count.
Oct 5 Before photos open in the app.
Oct 7 Before photos due. No extensions.

You must use the BEFORE template

Print it, or display it on another device, and have it visible in your first submission of before photos.

Without the template in your photos, you do not qualify for the prizes.

Photo requirements

To keep tracking accurate and judging fair, all 8 are required.

1

Wear all black

Black, form-fitting clothing only:

  • Black sports bra
  • Black shorts or underwear

Your stomach must be fully visible.

No baggy clothing. No colors. No patterns.

2

Same outfit every time

Wear the exact same black outfit for every check-in photo.

No variations.

3

Plain, blank wall only

Stand in front of a completely blank wall. Use the same wall and same spot every time.

No decor. No clutter. No patterns. No distractions.

4

Full body, at eye level

Use a timer or have someone take your photo. Your full body must be centered and fully visible.

No mirror selfies. No angled shots. No cropping. No exceptions.

5

Take all 4 angles

  • Front
  • Side (the same side every time)
  • Back
  • Opposite side
6

Natural daylight only

Take your photos during the day, in natural light.

No dark rooms. No artificial lighting that changes how you look.

7

Neutral posture

  • Stand straight
  • Shoulders back and down
  • Arms relaxed

Recreate the exact same posture every time.

Do not pose or flex.

8

Weekly check-ins, same day

After your before photos, take progress photos once a week, on the same day each week.

No exceptions.

If these guidelines aren't followed exactly, your photos will not be accepted or considered for prizes.

The full guidelines are also in your handbook under How to Take Progress Photos.

What can I help with?

Before you send: fully close and reopen the app, then check the App Store or Play Store for an update. That fixes most playback and missing-program issues on the spot.
