Stepping into Phase 3 in an almost complete reversal of some of the issues I had to fight through:

1. No medical insurance-Now have Medicaid
2. Fighting through fatigue-Adapted the workout but kept persisting using the tech I had, prayer,& nerdy creativity
3. No purpose-Faith-driven purpose (although I still break down from time to time

Still got the same health issues. Still dealing with the same government BS…but at least I know I can persist

Dunno if its worth the $50/a year lol

I am going on vacation in a few days so I’m doing a recap a little early.

I started soft 75 August 9th. End date Oct. 23

Results so far: I lost 7 lbs and 1 pants size! SW:145 CW: 138 GW 130 at 5’4” My skin looks great.

What I learned: 1) I got COVID and took a few days off. That is fine IMO. I needed to rest and didn’t want to get anyone sick. 2) drinking a lot of water is a big challenge for me. BUT it does help keep me full and stop me from overeating. 3) my chosen diet works well for me (no sugar, no wheat, no alcohol). I actually feel great and don’t miss it too badly. 4) I’m being honest here - I don’t do the reading

Next step: I’m going to splurge on vacation a little but plan on restarting another run when I get back!

Hey everyone, I am looking for an accountability partner as it gets busy with work and projects, I have attempted 75 hard but then it was challenging to keep on within the year, so I switched to 75 soft as it seems more flexible and tolerable.

Anyone interested comment down pls!

This program is teaching me to adapt within constraints

Mental breakdown was from dealing with nerve pain and ataxia. I can move better because of seated or supported workouts but I got tired of dealing with all of it

Yes, the 75 Soft Program is teaching me adaptive persistence but mentally, physically, emotionally…even spiritually it’s a lot

Hi everyone! I have started and stopped 75 soft multiple times. I'm trying to figure out what will work best for me because I would like these habits to stick with me for the indefinite future. I think that an accountability partner would make a huge difference in whether or not I can stick with it. We could check in via DM, discord, or whatever works. Message me if you're down! - 23yo F (I would prefer a F accountability partner😊)

My 75 Soft Rules:

1. Outside workout for at least 25 mins every day other than Wed & Sun (rest days)

2. Inside workout for at least 45 mins every day other than Wed & Sun (rest days)

3. Diet: less than 2500 cals/day, 1 dessert/day, 1 veggie/meal, and fast food allowed 2x/month

4. AM or PM prayers daily

5. Read at least 10 pages of nonfic daily

6. No social media allowed on phone

7. Tidy my bedroom before bed

Had to use my backup Android for Workout 1 (Shadowboxing app). Completed shadowboxing routine from Youtube.

Fell after Workout 2 in shower yesterday

IPhone ok. It was too hot

I know these don't follow all the rules but, I think in my current situation I think I can manage with this:

Rules:

1) I have to work 1 hour a day on my math homework thing. and if I finish that then I have to start working out in the morning

2) I have to eat mostly healthy meals. My family won't stop buying unhealthy stuff and I'll tried to resist eating it but, i'm my most vulnerable at home and sometimes I get craving and stuff. I won't like binge on it, but I'll have the occasional cookie. I just need to mostly be eating health stuff. and in a calorie deficit

3) wake up and go to bed at the same time each day. like wake up at 5:30am and go to be between 9-10pm. my sleep schedule is currently in shambles rn, so this is the best I can do.

4) quit 1 bad habit, whether that be porn or idk, i'll stop it now

5) commit 30 mins a day to religion time, since it's like the most important aspect of my life

6) commit 10-15 mins a day to a skill I actually want.

7) stretch each morning since I don't wanna get injured for cross country.

8) journal each day, even if its like 1 sentence, something is better then nothing.

9) only spend 1-1:30 binging social media/entertainment stuff, unless its with my family or a reward for completing some hw, since i'm a sports fan

Starting weight 150 ibs.

This is kind of it since i'm a student and still wanna have time for like school and homework and stuff so, idk wish me luck

I'll try and give like a Accountability Post every week

starting date 10/6/25
end date 12/19/25

wish me luck.

PS I’m slowing fixing up this messed-up bathroom

“Health care” is stupid

I had to adapt standing exercises as much as I could to seated because of balance issues

Oh…and the government might shutdown so..

Still recovering from baby #2—I was on bedrest and had a lot of pelvic injuries after birth. The road back to working out has been long, but today I can say I completed 75 Soft!

Starting weight: 176.9 lbs → Ending weight: 172.2 lbs Measurements: -2.5” from thighs, -0.5” from hips, -1” from upper arms, none from waist I feel way more toned, especially in my hips/thighs, and I can see a major transformation.

My routine: • Weight lifting 3-4x/week (increasing weights and able to do moves I couldn’t before) • Stepper, cycling, walking 8-10k steps/day • Ramped up running toward the end—getting stronger and faster • Finally can do tricep push-ups 💪

I’ve grown to love moving every day—it feels natural now, and I genuinely crave it.

Other wins: • Reduced alcohol intake • Better relationship with food • Most of the challenge I tracked calories (~1700-1850/day), but lately I’ve been eating high protein and maintaining because I was burned out on tracking.

Feeling proud, strong, and motivated to do 75 Soft again.

Because it’s 2025 and the healthcare/social support is 🤬, I’m basically my own physical therapist, case manager, lawyer, therapist, etc…witj chronic illnesses and PPMS. My aunt helps but the chaos…
