I see ABS peeking through! 

Why don't these photos have hundreds of likes? Awesome, inspiring, delicate and fit. 

There are many factors needed for a lot of likes on FS. It seems that Brazil and Russia for example have A LOT more users than we do so likes there are crazy. Also likes and comments boost posts up to featured which makes a big difference. Transformation pics also get a lot more likes than simple selfies too. The last factor could just be jealousy which can make people just scroll on by. 

A lot of posts are simply invisible if you're not a follower. Even the people I follow don't seem to come up in my feed a lot on here. I'll visit someones feed who I'm following and will be surprised at how many posts I missed. 

Those reasons all make sense. That's too bad, some gym selfies or ab or hamstring pictures popping up daily along with the food pics would be excellent. Usually don't care what people are eating. 

I love the gym pics! Although it has taken me years to come to terms with the whole phones in the gym thing but I am a dinosaur. Pila looks great. And it looks a nice gym......keep it up Pila! Photos too. 

You look incredible! I had to put down my toast😁😆 

Anne, I've not come to terms with it and will avoid being within a few feet of anyone filming themselves or photographing themselves in the gym. I doubt I will ever take a gym selfie but maybe I am wrong and will become an insufferable show-off ripping off my shirt and sticking my bum in the camera while others try to workout. But this picture is cute and seems respectful of the privacy of other people at the gym. 

Oats, when I started working in gyms and pools in 1986 you had to get written permission from the manager if you wanted to take pictures. Can you imagine that now! I do cringe when I see people fiddling with their phones instead of focusing on their workouts but as long as they aren't holding me up I ignore them. I do take changing room selfies and they are quite a good record and, of course, I love to show off on FS!!
