depends on what your goals are and where you started from. if you’ve got more body fat you’ll take longer to see defined muscles

Dude how could taking reference pics with your body possibly be unhealthy? Literally an easy way to visualize growth month to month.

Take progress pics it’s the best way to gauge progress. Ur not gonna think ur progressing if ur just judging by the mirror cause day by day you look the same. Change happens over months so progress pics help a ton to visualize it

4 weeks for you to notice, 6-8 for others to notice, 10-14 for you to look completely different

i’m 5’7” 130lb f, so slightly underweight/healthy starting weight. my goal is simply health and gaining muscle mass. i’m skinny af & building muscle instead of worrying about fat down the line is better for my health, i think im probably seeing minor results rn & down the line with more protein intake & overall healthier habits it’ll just get better maybe?!

as someone who has struggled with ED’s in the past i don’t love the idea of taking pictures of my body because i heavily compare and dwell on what i used to look like vs how i do now, SO. i understand that progress pics may be helpful for some but for me i’d rather just continue my journey for health & gainz without worrying about what i used to look like

especially as a girl ive already noticed that my menstrual cycle and bloating and such fluctuates so much so that progress pics wouldn’t necessarily help for abs at least, maybe for back & legs but my leg muscles are WEAK so eh not worth it yet
