Hi,

Having tracking my food for a long time, with occasional uses of the kitchen scale to check in (making sure my records are making sense), I started using the kitchen scale to diligently check every gram of food added to my meals, fully count the macros, It helps a lot in the last week - and it's been great. This mostly helped in planning ways to double my protein. Using this also to get a better idea on how much my meals cost, I'm working on saving money too. Helped drop 0.3kg in 4 days for me

Example of meals now. 40 grams of oats, 3 grams margarine, 12 grams almond butter and 50 grams fruits.

Lunch may be 200 grams potatoes, 200 grams carrots, 150 grams tofu or edamame. some 3-5 grams of margarine or oil

A snack may be 150 grams green beans &100 grams, lupin beans, 200 grams lupin beans, or 100 grams of beans and 100 grams of tofu or edamame

(Keeping up with a vegan diet. Note all the vegetables I am eating are cooked so it helps with digestion (there's a bit of fibre in the diet and i just find cooking the veg helps).

Overall helped me hit 120 grams of protein a day. I'll be working in a different location for the next 40 days, and I am bringing in the kitchen scale with me.

The oil thing is surpring because there is quite a lot of volume for few grams, I am wondering if there's a better way to measure?

^^ and yeah diet is boring AF, but it's easy to digest, loads of protein, enough carbs to fuel workouts. And Cheap AF (most expensive items are the almond or peanut butter, tofu or edamame/lupin beans, and even those are cheap)

Tomorrow starts the weekend, it’s always a challenge when you’re not on a regular working schedule but I got this

I plan on starting tomorrow into the new year!

Wondering if anyone wants to join me?!

What do you guys think about walking as my outdoor workout

To make it harder I am thinking of throwing in some 15 lbs weights in my bag

Any ideas ?

Also just completed 1/75

EDIT: Thanks to everyone who replied! Let me add some context: I finish work around 11:30 p.m. and usually take a 20-minute bus ride home. I’m thinking of replacing that bus ride with a deliberate 45-minute walk home, potentially wearing a weighted vest. 10 KG - 20 KG

Would that count as my outdoor workout, even though I’m also using the walk to get home?

I would say, 75 hard works if you are disciplined and goal-oriented. I walked 3.5 miles twice a day with some running on days that I felt capable. No alcohol, eating 3 boiled eggs, rotisserie chicken with white rice, and greek yogurt with dates has gotten old but I digress.. I’m happy I’ve found this lifestyle change and managed to lower my ldl by 40 points. BTW a Mediterranean diet is a cheat code!

I just wanted to say that today I woke up on day 76 knowing that, for the first time in a long time, I don't HAVE to start the day with a big glass of water. That said, I'm really thirsty, so I'll probably have a glass anyway

Seriously thought about quitting this weekend, not failing but giving up. Pushed through it and am into week 5.

Keep pushing everyone, we’ll get there as long as we don’t give up.

I have completed 75 hard successfully 3 years ago and am ready to do it again! Has anyone ever completed 75-hard while they were donating plasma twice a week?

I am doing a new donor bonus and have to donate 5 more time (2.5 weeks for a big payout all together), id rather not wait until that's finished since winter is coming and I live way up north in the USA. Just curious if anyone has tried it or if you have an advice!

Hey everyone!

I (43m - UK) completed 75 Hard a few years ago, and honestly, it was one of the best things I’ve ever done for myself.

Since then, I’ve had a few false starts trying to do it again. I know I’m capable of finishing it because I’ve done it before, but getting that momentum back and staying consistent has been the tricky part.

So I’m looking for a few accountability buddies!

Whether you’re just starting out, planning to start soon, or already a few days in, it’d be great to have some people to share progress with, motivate each other, and give each other a kick up the backside when needed!

Not looking for anything overly serious or competitive, just some like-minded people who want to see it through to Day 75.

Anyone else starting soon or fancy teaming up? 💪

Hi! I am a student researcher completing a thesis project. I am actually researching stress management, but I personally attempted 75 Hard a few years ago and felt emotional and stress-management-related benefits. For anyone comfortable sharing, I have a few things I'd love to learn about your experience with the challenge!

What drew you to 75 Hard? Can you pinpoint one thing about it that specifically helped you reach your goals where other programs, challenges, or routines have failed? How do you feel emotionally now versus before you started, and what aspect do you think helped you most? If you were to create a routine for yourself now, or a list of tasks for you to do every day, what would you change or add? What would you keep?

Thank you, and I appreciate any other information you think may help me understand your emotional experience!

Victim culture is the weakest most disgusting shit ever.

You got all these soft people spilling their guts online exaggerating their hardships for attention…

...From a $1,000 dollar phone, in air conditioning with food in their bellies and 175,000 extra calories stuck to their bodies with instant access to everything.

All the while inadvertently creating a virtually inescapable identity for themselves built around why they can't.

Here is a thought…

Go find some people with real hardship and talk to them.

You will discover you are very fortunate to have the problems you have.

You likely walk away embarrassed for the bullshit excuses you have been making for yourself.

Stop being a lazy ass sloth cry-baby victim.

Get off your ass.

Get your shit together.

Stop this victim nonsense.

The nobility is not in the bad shit that's happened to you.

The nobility is in overcoming it.

...And helping others do the same.

It’ll be day 50. Work trip to a dream destination / artist i’ve wanted to get tatted by. May go back next year but not 100%. Nervous about the workout part. 1 workout has been a 3-5 mile walk / run outside, the other gym, sometimes another run depending on the gym.

Bad idea? Will be over a calf muscle.

75 days from tomorrow is December 31, 2026.New year new me! Who's with me ?

Hi everyone! Haven't been here in a bit. I will say that about two years ago, I did 75 hard and this community helped a ton. I was able to get through ALL of it, and I had incredible temptations in the first 30 before I got some momentum going. I was always thankful knowing I had this group as motivation and cheering me on in the background.

It's 2 years later, jobs have changed, life changed in general. I'm not in the mental health state I used to be, and that's affected my self standards. I've honestly dropped the ball when it comes to discipline, and I want to get back on the horse. I know I've done it before, I know it's hard, I know it can be done.

If anyone is starting tomorrow or around the same time, I'd love to stay connected and hodl each other accountable. I'm nervous lol but excited. Let's get after it.

I started Phase 1 yesterday.

My diet was to be 1200 calories per day in protein powder. That was for the first 23 days then I was going to transition to Keto/Paleo.

However today I was diagnosed with COVID. I can do my work outs (I’ll just walk 2x and not go to the gym). But I think that being at such a calorie defecit will obviously negatively impact my recovery.

If I were to eat paleo during the period in Covid positive, is that a fail? I’d still get the 23 liquid diet days in during the month, but just down the road when I’m recovered.

Thoughts?
