In college I spent 6 months gaining and cutting weight. I lifted daily, ate every 3 hours taking in an excess of ~400 calories/day, and after gaining ~20 lbs of muscle and fat, I cut the excess weight. I wish I would have taken photos of my transformation with something like this.

@maxwellhallel or Before and Afters (surgery & injectables) Age progression... etc. The positioning could be better to be LESS "straight-white-male" centric. Women, babies/ kids, and those going through a major transition should be the target focus. Possible enterprise angle with weight loss and health insurance companies...
Interesting to see an API integration as well..

@nadia_yun so, having a single noinfoifstraight-white-male on their website makes this service straight-white-male centric?

@gopietz Ah! Well on first glance under Media - do you feel like the product is inclusive? Now imagine the same screenshots with a pregnant women ONLY. It skews perception of the product & weakens the actual product positioning / capabilities. The maker isn't here to answer this - but I will assume that they are looking to increase their user base? With that said there are many apps dedicated to men and fitness before and after so how can you differentiate? These selfie before & after apps if actually made to target women (because there are not many) would KILL IT. ESP with integrating #AR.

@nadia_yun i don't disagree with you. i just feel like implying that a service is not inclusive based on one available advertising example doesn't make much sense. that is all.

I used Progress for some time, and it's a great idea, but after a while I paid out ~$5 to upgrade to Everyday "unlimited": https://www.producthunt.com/post...
the advantage of Everyday is that you can track different parts of your body (e.g. track the transformation of your bicep vs your main body etc)

This is great, I've been taking photos manually as of now. Will there be an Android version? Also the current weight step is confusing.. "15st 0lb"?

Can this only be used to track weight change or can it be used to measure the growth of toenails?

The shirtless, muscular guy makes it a bit NSFW - sort of awkward for people to see that on my screen. Have you considered perhaps an illustration depicting a person's process rather than the dude?

It's simple apps like this that help you build good habits. I wish I used this back in 2013 when I started getting back into fitness. Lost 20+ lbs. and 8% fat, then been adding muscle slowly ever since.

Looks like a great little implementation. Nice find Chris.
For those looking for a little bit extra functionality (such as custom camera overlays, import of photos, before/after comparisons, a timeline of weight etc) we developed something similar with Snapsie.

I lost about 80lbs after I graduated college. it took about a year to do it -- slow and steady. It would have been awesome to see the progress like this over time.
Great find!
