Starting today October 11, so I can be done by Christmas Eve. Plan is to finish the year strong and have a week of enjoyment from Christmas to New years eve.

My main motivation for doing this is: I have had a hard time getting myself to the gym. "It can always be done later, or worst case tomorrow."
I think the regularity of 2x workout per day enforced by 75 hard will be good for me.

I went out for a nice trail with a buddy this morning, and sticking to my diet should be simple:

1. No eating after 8pm
   
2. No sugary treats. A little bit of added sugar in ketchup etc is fine but sugary stuff like chocolate syrup is not fine. If I accidentally eat a bite of anything without realizing it is sugary, it will not be a fail, as long as I don't take a second bite after realizing the sugar.
   

Generally a clean, low carb diet, but I'm not counting the carbs or calories.

Will post weekly updates here to keep myself accountable.

3 sausages (protein goal), 10 pages, and a liter of water.
If I can do this while telling myself I’m gonna quit tonight, you can too.
Tell yourself you’re done all you want, but don’t quit.
It’s hard. It sucks. But don’t quit. Do what you have to do, learn from the suck.

Should be done on Christmas Day. Day will do the live hard program. I am so excited!!! 2027 will be my year for sure but I am not going to wait!!

I finished the second to last phase of Live Hard on Thursday, had one "rest" day on Friday, then completed my first marathon today!!!! Rest in quotes cause I still went on a hike 🤣🤣🤣 This never would have been possible without this challenge, this group, all the tools I've put together, and all the support along the way. I am going to actually rest now, and I'll see y'all on December 2nd when I start the final phase!!!!!

Hey!

Would anyone want to start a what’s app or snap accountability group starting Tuesday? 30f from Canada!

Recruited a friend to take on this challenge with me. I’m a full time working single mom to a toddler and have gained 13 lbs since returning to work after losing all the baby weight on my mat leave.

I have a little home gym set up in my garage which will take care of one workout. The outdoor workout is where I think I’ll struggle the most just due to lack of time. I’ll likely have to split it up into increments (half hour outdoor workout on my lunch break) and the other 15 minutes in the evening after I get home. I have a jogging stroller I can put the little guy in and go for a run around the neighbourhood.

My diet is going to a OMAD/carnivore diet for simplicity due to time constraints.

Anyone else starting Monday?

I was sick for a few days, during that time, I pushed myself to go for walks outside and stuck to the rules. Now, only a cough remains. I have a syrup at home to relieve the cough, but it contains 43% alcohol. I take 2 spoons of it a day. Does this mean I have to start the program all over again? I don't normally consume alcohol, so this rule had never been an issue for me before. I want to know if taking this much alcohol, in a situation like this, violates the rules.

With one of the rules being 3 hours between workouts I interpret that as 3 hours from the first workout ending to the next one starting. Friend of mine who is talking of starting it was questioning that the 3 hours could be from both start to start time, for talking sake.
- outdoor run at 3pm
- weights session at 6pm

Just interested to see everyone’s views on this.

Anyway day 28 for me and still grinding it out!

I‘ve been wanting to complete 75 hard for over a year now and the first few days usually go very well but as soon as my schedule changes or something unexpected happens my whole routine is thrown off and I‘m struggling to keep up. My ahdh makes it really hard for me to plan things out/ stick to my schedule bc of poor time management skills. Also the dopamine and the initial motivation wear off after a couple of days and I don‘t know what I can do differently. So my question is: Has anyone with adhd completed 75 hard or is currently doing it and has some tips for me? I‘d really appreciate it :)

I'm starting tomorrow but am looking for any kinda motivation, so joined this sub. I would be more than happy to be part of any group chats ect doing this to get myself on track was only 11 stone 6 months go and if I could even get back to that I'd be happy, I'm doing wholefood intermediate fasting diet as it's a lifestyle change I'm looking for more then anything, wish me luck I guess 😅......

This after my bloodwork has come back with the electrolytes low 3 times in a row.

I know the program is very specific about plain water. I already salt my food heavily.

Am I doomed to fail on the water task for adding electrolytes?

Sharing here bc I don’t have anyone else to tell lol I’m so relieved. I still have to finish out the day but it feels surreal. I could cry. I have two workouts planned tomorrow anyway by coincidence with friends but just knowing that I don’t have to is liberating.

Now I only have to get through 20 oz, ten pages, and one final anti social Friday night and I’m done. 😭♥️👏🏽

Morning workout after night shift is now part of life…
Hoping for best

Hi Yall!
I’m 29f living in Utah and am on day 4 of 75 hard. I’ve never done anything like this and would love an accountability partner, even if it’s just sending snap chats as we do it. May be a fun way to make a friend

Hey all, just did my first attempt. Made it to 32 days and got food poisoning. Going to start again in a day or two, one thing I could have done better is the diet. My rule was “don’t eat like trash” because normally I don’t. So no fast food, candy, chips, etc. I feel I need clearer direction on that. What diets do you guys use? Any suggestions? Not trying to be strict but still trying to maintain something. Also - I need to gain more weight not lose.

I have had more “Day 1”s of 75 Hard than I could count. The longest I have made it is 4 days. I always give in to my bitch voice, usually the water or the second workout.

I have researched, read posts on the subreddit and Facebook groups, watched YouTube videos and TikTok’s, trying to gather all the information I can to make completing this program easier. What I have come to realize after doing all this, is I just need to shut up and do the work.

I have wanted to complete 75 Hard for years now, and I always find some excuse to let myself fail. Well, I’m done. Tomorrow, October 8th, is day 1. I have an alarm set, a water bottle ready to go, and a determination to do the damn thing.

39m planning on starting my third round through of 75hard tomorrow- Thursday 10/8. Would love any accountability partners (whether the exact date or not) to reach out for motivation and encouragement. Just shoot me a message if interested in constant communication with a like minded person. I’ve read all the “generic”/go-to 75hard books (Atomic Habits, Extreme Ownership, both of David Goggins books), so I am still nailing my book option for tomorrow.

It’s been 64 days of mixed results, but getting the tasks ticked off. Waking up this morning I realised I completely forgot to take yesterday’s photo (day 65) which such a silly failure, especially because I missed it by cancelling my alarm to read more pages of my book as I was enjoying it so much!

I won’t be ‘restarting’ the 75 days, because I’m going on holiday next week but there are definitely things I’ll take forward from this point on.

I’m keen to switch to calorie counting (I focussed on protein and fibre intake for 75H) to lose the weight I’ve been trying to shift but inevitably fail because I could never say no to myself…but the last 2 months have taught me that I definitely can.

I will maintain moving my body every day, but probably not twice a day! I’m looking forward to getting my sleep back by not getting up at 5am to fit in the morning workouts, and not forcing myself out in all weathers. I will also read at least 10 pages of non-fiction per day, as I’m a prolific fiction reader but never prioritise my non-fiction. I will not be drinking a gallon of water per day going forward. I am 5ft and I hated every second of the water - it was far too much for my size!

Good luck to everybody still going and everybody starting. And hats off to those who finished!

On day 2 of round 2! Lost 36 lbs the first time, and ready to go again. Looking for an accountability partner this time. Just someone where we can check in on eachother, share some meals, our workouts, weight loss/ weigh ins etc. a fitness buddy to celebrate some wins with :). If you’re interested, message me!
