I want to start 75 hard again tomorrow (did 43 days at the beginning of the year!) does anyone what to start with me? Maybe a small group on discord?
I stopped because I had a hard mental time (breaking up with my boyfriend of 6 years) and I need to finally finish it to prouve myself I can do it!
Is anyone interested?
Book - “ The Everyday Hero Manifesto “ by Robin Sharma is excellent. Very motivating.
Water- I’m drinking over a gallon of liquid daily.
1 gallon clear plain water
12oz coffee
12oz preworkout (before weight training)
12oz post workout BCAA & Protein
And I usually end up drinking two extra cups of plain water at night after I’ve completed the gallon requirement.
I am sore, but I will push through this because this is a challenge and challenges are meant to challenge you. Pushing through develops grit!
Get it! 🦾💥
I did it — Day 75 complete.
Me, MyFitnessPal, my phone’s Notes app, and regularly following everyone else’s progress in this community kept me accountable and on track.
I learned a lot about myself throughout this challenge—about my perceived limits and what I'm actually capable of. Ironically, the thing I cared about the least, the progress photos, nearly ended my challenge three separate times. You’d think I would have learned after the first one.
I stuck to my calorie target, cut out junk food along with a handful of other personal exclusions, and didn’t make a single exception. No cheat days, no exceptions.
I also read five books—The Year I Met My Brain, Atomic Habits, Leaders Eat Last, The Emotional Intelligence Advantage, and The Let Them Theory—after not finishing a single book in almost 10 years.
For my workouts, I walked and rucked outdoors (doing two outdoor workouts every Sunday) and completed six strength training sessions each week.
I just want to say thank you to everyone who has posted here—whether you were asking for advice, celebrating your success, or sharing your progress. You inspired me to start, motivated me to keep going, and reminded me that even on the toughest days, you just have to show up and put in the work.
If there’s one thing I’ve taken away from 75 Hard, it’s that we’re all capable of far more than we think. Set the goal, commit to it, and keep showing up.
My family is going to eat like 💩 today and try to influence me to participate. I won’t and then the usual comments will come …” just one bite” “you look fine” “no one will know” etc. My husband even said two days ago he should do the challenge. Yesterday he came home with a case of beer.
I’m not gonna let them derail me. I’ve got a vision and I’m seeing it through independently.
Happy Independence Day! 😎🦾🇺🇸
I’ve had 12 attempts! Day 12 was usually my toughest. Then I failed on day 37 twice in a row (progress pic/reading- I even went to sleep thinking I’d done everything!). So this time around we are definitely checking things off before bed (the tough thing is I’m a night owl so the app will start over before I’m done with my day… so I need to problem solve that somehow).
It’s attempt 13 and I’m locking in! This challenge has already been life-changing. And I LOVE being on the challenge. But I am craving that finish. I know I’ll want to do it again, maybe once a year. But I’ve got to finish! Lucky 13 is the one :)
Y’all are inspiring btw! Thanks for the posts.
I’ve never tried this with an accountability buddy so lmk if you’d be interested!
PS The fun part is I have a strained neck and some kind of foot injury. But I’m always injured somehow bc I’m a circus performer. Last month was so busy, but I can focus on treating the injuries now. PT will be an important part of my workouts 😂
Forgot to take a progress photo yesterday 😐 I’m so sad and disappointed. Exhaustion got the best of me lol. What to do now….
With one last chug of my gallon of water, I am done with 75 hard. Boring stats: starting weight fluctuates between 192 to 198 size 38 Jeans (US) large shirts. As of this morning, i weigh 161, and the jean size is down to a 32 fit in my medium shirts again. I read through almost 6 books books 1-4 Discourses by Epictetus and talking to stangers. The biggest challenge was maintaining my diet (no fast food, no caffine, no junk food, pre-made meals only after I've made them myself) first while constantly being invited places. This last week, work sent me down to Austin for work. Luckily, my coworkers were super accommodating, but it was tough to simply say no to different things, especially going out to bars and drinking water while they took shots, got fast food on lunch break, ect. Mentally, I feel like I've taken control of myself again, which is more important than my body just being better in shape. Good luck to those still finishing up and keep going.
Good progress but still a long way to go. Looking forward to the next 4 months.
I finished my second time doing 75 hard last Thursday. The plan was to take a two day break and then do my own thing which still had almost everything from the challenge, except for the double workouts and picture. I wanted to do a daily outdoor walk and gym 3x a week, with 4 afternoons off. Well, it seems I still can't handle any diet breaks whatsoever. The past week it has been a huge struggle to get back on track and for 4 days I just massively overate. Instead of letting it spiral even more, I decided to just do another round of 75 hard.
For some reason the challenge mode, zero room for failure and having a paper checklist really tickles my brain and just works for me. It is almost like flipping a switch and everything clicks and suddenly food is not an issue at all. I don't really understand why having my own routine doesn't work, so until I figure it out, I will just keep doing 75 hard. I am glad I turned it around very early before I regained a bunch of weight. So even though today was only day 1, I can already feel this is going to work and I am so excited to lose more weight and get stronger in the gym.
Hi all, I've been doing 75 hard with some friends and we wanted a way to keep each other accountable. I built an app to do this as I couldn't find any other good ones. I'm thinking of making it public for all to use, would this be something others would be interested in?
Heyyyyyy! Popping in for a quick update. Forgot to post when I hit my halfway point so doing so now lol, I’m on day 43 now but posting my halfway progress and then hopefully I’ll update from the other side ~
don’t worry for my final pics I’ll make sure to match my OG stuff so it’s more easily comparable, but I’m damn proud of how far I’ve come so far. The results have been insane and I’m only halfway 💙
Let’s see, it’s 8 AM: I’ve already got one run out of the way, at least 10 pages, progress pic, and 2 quarts. It’s in the bag, this day ain’t ready for me.
I am living breathing proof that this is achievable. Trust me when I say that if I can do it, then you can too. I was (and in some ways still am) a sloth POS who loves his indulgences, but now I wake up at 5:30 or earlier every morning and go for a walk or run, and use my lunch break at work for the same, despite being on my feet all day. Definitely adopting the early rise after this is over, it’s the quietest part of my day and I absolutely love my solo time. Now if I could just get to bed on time 😅
I’ll be doing this again with new goals and guidelines. Definitely feeling more disciplined, and generally healthier., maybe it will be next year, but for now ya boy wants some Ben & Jerry’s, tomorrow can’t come fast enough!
New month. No excuses! Let’s go! 🦾
Hi, Strength Training for 75 days can be so hard. Can both of my workouts be a 45 minute walk, I will do one walk in the evening and one in the morning.
Mostly these would be on Fridays and Sundays.
Pics are Day 1 and Day 37 since I wore similar outfits.
It's not fun anymore, but it's okay. I had a tooth out a couple weeks into my 75, which then got infected, and it hasn't been fun since.
I'm simultaneously surprised I've had some progress and a little bummed I don't have more to show, but during my tooth extraction healing, I've only been able to walk.
Gonna keep on keepin' on!
Just downloaded the all and am posting here for accountability!
SW: 214lbs
Short Term GW for this Round - 200lbs
Long Term GW - 160lbs
So glad to be here and looking forward to working hard alongside all of you!
Not my first time on the programme probably not my last either but there’s something magical about this isn’t there.
The momentum we create just leaks into all other areas of our lives and by the time we know it our entire existence is in this upward spiral.
Grateful to be done.
Phase 1 soon.
Never stopping.
If you’ve done it, well done. If you’re doing it, keep going it’s SO worth it. If you’re thinking, wouldn’t you like to see what your life would look like on day 75?
Forever grateful to Andy he changed everything for me.
Good luck out there guys.
Ladies doing 75 hard, how do you manage during your periods. I have had severe period pains since forever and I have to take sick leave from my work on the first 2 days. I am starting 75 hard tomorrow, just want to get some insights on how you girls manage.
Any pointers are highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
I am a lazy procrastinator, so i am going to do double of what i usually do so here we go, day 1. I will share prpgress of today by eod here
Eod edit: unfortunately i lost today and couldnt get much done.
Hi all! This is my second round of 75 Hard, and today is Day 5.
I’m having what I think is a plantar fasciitis flare. This morning I could barely walk. The pain is most tender where my arch meets my heel, but when I’m standing or walking, I feel it across the entire bottom of my foot.
I want to complete outdoor workout, but I’m wondering what the safest option is. Has anyone dealt with plantar fasciitis during 75 Hard? What did you do for your outdoor workout without making it worse?
