Whats the best way to prove the date or time frame of a photo so no one can say they are not real?
Just moved off campus at college and can finally eat good, and enough, quality food. I want to make progress and have the photos to prove it afterwards…
Hold up that days newspaper.
You need to hold up a sign that says ‘HolyMac is a Douche.’
Seriously though if they’re real then why worry about it.
Doesn’t every camera offer a date stamp on it?

Yeah, but then again, that could be manipulated.
If it REALLY matters that much, just hold up a newspaper.
If it’s just for personal documentation purposes, just write the date in the name of each update/progress pic on the files.
First, fmaurice, I’d suggest washing that God Damn Shit off your jawline; it looks like someone tried to give you a Rusty Trombone and just kept fucking missing.
Second, yes, holding up the newspaper, or an iPad with the 'paper’s website pulled up.

Damn funny right there
for ultimate proof you have to buy a pair of sneakers. hold up one shoe with the dated receipt and no one will doubt it.

There is no way. If your progress is really good you will have a lot of people crying cheat.
Check out john stone fitness That mad bastard took a photo of himself everyday for years and posted them every morning. Still people thought that him sitting down and spending hours of time photoshopping each and everyone as part of some elaborate hoax was a more likely scenario than him actually hitting the gym and eating right?!
The point is you will always get called out, there is nothing you can do about it so don’t let it get to you before you have even started.

Agreed.
I am calling the roidz right now, before you even did anything.
Just so that you get used to it.
There is a way -
Go stand by the big clock in your local post office, get them to hold up the date - have an attorney present. Rip off your shirt, cry “argh” and get someone to snap a photo of you.
Or, if it matters that much, take the shirtless picture at an important public event. If there’s an assassination planned, and you happen to know about it, fly over there and try to get a most-muscular pose somewhere off the side of a picture of the assassination.
Although personally I’d just call the police. I’m not into assassinations.

I don’t really see the point. I mean do you honestly think that you’re going to make such amazing progress over the next few weeks that no one will believe its real? Why would you give a fuck about some whiny little shit on the internet not believing your progress anyways? There will always be people that will try to dismiss your progress regardless of what proof you post.
Really, there is no easy way to “prove” the photos are not over a longer period of time, manipulated, etc. However, in all of this discussion has arisen an interesting point:
Why does it matter?
While this was posted in GAL, so I cannot assume you are a bodybuilder, one who is truly dedicated to training should be focused on his or her goals. If your goal is to impress some folks with pictures, then this question may be highly relevant. However, if your goals are more about your actual PROGRESS and development, then I must point out that “proving” it to others is at least somewhat unnecessary.
Besides, people believe what they want to believe, and little you can do will change that.
All the best.

lol really loud I almost snorked
The paper doesn’t date a picture. I could hold up a paper from 3 weeks ago. the paper only proves it was at least that late
You could post them on a forum or blog that has date stamps you personally can’t manipulate.
Hold up an iPad

Sorry sir but this is for testing your body fat %. I suggest using a sharpie and writing the date every day on your forehead or chest. If it will not wash off jut more proof that a day has passed.
