# Uploading Progress Photos

Your coach may ask you to submit progress photos as part of your check-ins. These help track visual changes over time that measurements alone don't capture.

## Submitting Photos

When you reach the **Photos** step in the check-in wizard, you'll see labeled upload areas for each photo your coach has requested — for example, front pose, back pose, or side pose.

1. Click the upload area for each photo category
2. Select a photo from your device or take one with your camera
3. Repeat for each requested photo
4. Continue to the next step when finished

## Tips

- **Use consistent lighting and angles** — take photos in the same spot with similar lighting each time for the best comparison
- **Wear similar clothing** — this makes it easier to see physical changes between check-ins
- **Follow the labels** — upload each photo to the correct category (front, back, side) so your coach can compare the same angles over time
- **Don't skip photos** — even if you don't think you see changes, your coach can spot progress that's hard to notice day-to-day
