Set up the same way.
This is the setup you'll repeat for every weekly check-in. Tick each one.
Setup checklist
A setup I can repeat every week. Same room, same time of day, so your check-in photos match this set.
Morning, after the toilet, before food or water.
Same spot, same wall, same light. Mark the floor where you stand and where the phone goes.
Same shorts every time.
Normal 1x lens, not 0.5x wide angle. Wide angle distorts your proportions.
10 second timer, or record a video and screenshot it.
Phone at chest or shoulder height. Propped or on a tripod, not held.
Phone upright and level, pointing straight ahead, about 2 to 3 m away. Not tilted up or down. Head to feet in the frame.
No pump, no tan, no flexing (except the optional double biceps).
Tick all of these to carry on. They're what make one week comparable with the next.
Phone on a tripod at chest height, level, 2 to 3 metres from you, whole body in frame
Plain wall
2 to 3 m
Chest or shoulder height
Level, straight ahead
Phone upright, level with your chest, lens pointing straight at you. Your whole body, head to feet, fills most of the frame.
Why chest height? The camera sees you face on, not looking up at you. Low or tilted phones stretch the legs and shrink the upper body, so your proportions change from week to week even when you haven't. Same height, same distance, same angle: every photo matches.

Upload and send.
Each photo is checked on your phone before it's sent: framing, light, sharpness and pose. Nothing is uploaded until you press Send.
Anything I should know? Optional. Bloated, poor sleep, different time of day, new lighting.
Confirm
I've followed the setup: same time, spot, light and shorts, 1x lens, phone level at chest height.
Tick this to send.
