Help with progress photos

courtneyfabulous

Not the correct place to post I know but wasn't sure where to ask...

Does anyone know how to keep myfitnesspal from squishing the photo when you post a progress photo in a status update?? They always come out more squat and squished in an unflattering way. I work hard to lose weight but when it posts the picture swished down like that it makes me look wider than I am....

I'm on an iPhone if that makes a difference? Anyone else have this issue or know how to keep it from happening?

Random tip, and not sure if it will work... but screenshot the picture in you camera roll, and use the screenshot version. That sometimes worked for another app that tended to squish

Thanks for the suggestion - just tested that out and no it still squishes. Hmmm...

It may be that the pics are just too big. I use an app called 'image size' on my iPhone and resize all pics I post to no wider than 600 dpi.
(Keeps the load time shorter when I am on my phone too.)

I don't post to status update though, just forums and groups.

Cheers, h.

I'm having the same issue...try taking the pic a bit further away.

Not the issue I'm having... the photo looks fine on my phone and any other place I post it to, but when I post it through myfitnesspal it gets slightly squashed/distorted.

I guess I could use a photo editor to pre- squish it the opposite way? But I was hoping it's just a setting I need to adjust. Or something.
