participles - Looking forward to follow vs. following

I was reading this today:

We look forward to following your progress.

Am I correct in thinking that it is missing a be or that -ing should be removed?

So

We look forward to be following your progress.

or

We look forward to follow your progress.

Interestingly I get the same jarring feeling when reading the examples here
What's the difference between "I look forward to" and "I'm looking forward to"?

Answer

We look forward to following your progress is correct; the two proposed corrections are not. "Following your progress" is a gerund phrase; it acts as a noun in this sentence.
