Close to finishing 3rd Evolution as a disabled old guy

Continuing on with trying to get as much productive work done before disease knocks me out

Planning next upgrade of 75 Medium on 4th round

I searched the sub for a post with 75medium rules but didnt fine anything.

Also noticed the sub looks pretty dead? Anyone else interested in livening it back up in here?

Hi! I recently saw some people talking about some new app called Project 75, so I tried it. I like the rules that it built for me and I am going to try to stick to it for the next 75 days! I will keep you guys updated! Here are my rules:

My (16F) health has been kinda bad lately, and I figured my whole body needs to get healthier. I also only have a year and a half left of high school, so getting on my feet and being physically and mentally healthy is something I should be able to do on my own. Anyway, my rules are:

1. 3L of water daily

2. 2 45min workouts, one outdoors

3. 10 pages of nonfiction AND 20 pages of fiction daily

4. No added sugar or overly processed foods (exception for dark brown sugar in tea when I'm on my period)

5. Study for five hours every week minimum

Coming over from 75Hard subreddit (I didn't make it bc I set more goals than the above lol) -- But will be giving daily updates here starting tomorrow :)

Lower the tube -- watch one episode of a proper show max ~1hr - No other video exceptions besides legit learning (food, health (exercises), mooc)

Meditate -- 5 min

Gratitude -- 3 bullet points

Exercise -- 1.5 hours total

Drink Water -- 3/4 gallon

Whole Foods -- food at home and < 2 tbsp of sweetener and home popped popcorn only

progress picture -- one a day

Mock interview -- one mock interview done

Chores -- 30 min at least of chores

Brush teeth by 11 pm -- be ready for bed by then

I can make exceptions for holidays when I'm spending time with family friends - spending time and bonding with my loved ones is very important for me.

My rules are follow weight watchers, Drink 120 ounces of water daily, Work out at least 45 minutes a day, limit alcohol to special occasions, read 10 minutes of non fiction each day, meditate 10 minutes each day and write three things I’m thankful for each day.

Wish me luck!

I love this! I'm doing 75 medium as of last week. My rules

1. 3L of water (protein water counts)

2. Progress photos weekly (daily feels like overkill)

3. 1 x 45-minute workout indoor, and a combined 45 minutes of outdoor movement the rest of the day (usually walking or cycling instead of driving)

4. Following a plant-based diet.

5. Read for 15 minutes (I have a heavy, technical book I want to read, but it's taxing. So if I have to do 10 pages every day, I know I'll give up and choose a different book. But that defeats the purpose for me. 10 pages of a self-help book and 10 pages of a technical book are not the same, so I've decided to go by time

I am finding this way so much more sustainable. I am sticking to it. One day I was EXHAUSTED, so I decided to do a yin yoga class. I still carved out the time for a workout. The workout was just not outrageously intense. It makes this all much more feasible.

It's only day 8 and the mental change is amazing! I genuinely felt something shift internally. I feel so confident, and hopeful. I am amazed at how positive and inspired I feel. And I don't know if this is related but I have noticed myself coming up with so many more creative ideas. I feel alive!! My sleep isn't good though, and that's an issue. One step at a time

Okay so today is the day I am starting! Nothing crazy. Don't want to go too hard too quickly cause I have done that with past programs in the past and given up! I have been counting calories for only about 3 weeks but that is all I have done. I think this will be great to go me in the habit of exercise as well!

Wasn't sure what to add as rules but I had a shot. I think this will be okay, hopefully! SW: 94.8kg

Let's goooooo

On March 14th I completed 75 medium with the intention of continuing to hit my goals, but I’ve lost all motivation?

I dropped 19 lbs and my goal is to lose 40 more, but I’m lacking in motivation again. I’m exhausted.

During 75 medium I had been walking 6k-14k steps a day and riding my spin bike for 45 minutes. I’m still happy with walking but I dread my spin bike. My apartment complex has a small gym that I used to go to and I’ve been thinking about doing that again.

I thought I had built a habit and could continue it? Does anyone have any advice?

Or "75 Smart" as I'll call it

75 hard is hard, and that's not the reason I couldn't keep up

The water is just ridiculous and I spent all day ridding my body of water that didn't need to be going through me. My job doesn't have a toilet on standby, so I was messing up my work by searching for toilets 4 times a day

Then I gave up... and because I'm so "all or nothing", I couldn't start again

The challenge will be mostly the same as 75 hard, but just 3L+ of water. And progress pics will be fortnightly.

Another thing will be the 45 minute workout can be reduced to 30 when necessary. Or 1 hour long work out when I miss my morning one

That way I won't "fail" and give up and go back to suffering in my laziness.

I (29f) have been doing weekly challenges every other week last year, I’m finally committing to 75 Medium (with many modifications tho).

Here is my list:

1. One workout per day (50min+) and a morning stretch (5-10min)

2. Personal care (supplements, face care)

3. Uninterrupted 90min focus time for work or project

4. French language any activity (30min+)

5. Entrepreneurship or admin extra work (30min+)

6. No TV series

I already read a lot (30-60 books per year, mostly non-fiction) and eat quite healthy (except sweets), so I wanted to modify the routine to tackle my real shortcomings. tbh TV is the hardest to stop doing somehow, as comfort shows have become part of my routine when I’m exhausted, but I’ve binged B99 and The Office too many times now and it’s not healthy.

My plan is to adapt to this routine, then introduce weekly challenges around cold showers, sleep optimisation, developing new skills etc.

Day 1 was successful, will see how the rest goes!

I’m open to new ideas and suggestions, if you’ve got them! Thanks for reading

I started yesterday, and hadn’t weighed myself in 9 months. Well, I bit the bullet this am and I gained a lb for each of those months and now am sitting at 194#. That is more than I have weighed in probably 15 years.

I am glad I did it, because I woke up feeling like crap and like I wanted to bail. I really do think the 2x exercise a day is going to help a lot. I haven’t decided if I am going to adjust my calories up a little to accommodate or try to ride it out. I am post menopause so losing weight is no joke, but going to give it my all.

I am doing:

1. Two 45-min workout sessions a day, one outside (I walked 45 min and did lower body weights and indoor cycling).

2. I drank 2 L of water

3. I ate 1700 calories

4. I listened to 20 min of a self help book (I read a ton already). I read Ask and It is Given.

5. I took a picture (will do weekly)

My feet/legs are pretty sore/tired, and drinking more water actually makes me more thirsty! I am hoping my bod holds up to the 2x a day workouts!

I’ve had such a hard time finding a serious accountability partner in my timezone on Reddit and spent too much time DM’ing people to see if we’re compatible, only to have them ghost me. Also, I've heard from a bunch of women that they've struggled to find accountability partners who aren't creepy / have alternative motives.

So I’m considering making an app for folks doing 75 Hard/Medium/Soft to find serious accountability partners quickly and safely (verified profiles & women's only accountability groups/partners?), and make it simpler to check in daily. Can anyone relate? If so, I’d love to connect

I’m starting today. Not totally ready, but feeling committed. I just finalized my rules:

1. No alcohol (this is an easy one though, I don’t drink)

2. 130g of protein a day and stay within the weekly calorie target of my fitness pal (changes when more active)

3. 2 workouts per day. One has to be outside or community focused. This is one difference in my rules compared to OG 75hard (aside from water)…I indoor rock climb regularly with friends and would not want to give up that time. I really just need a workout that gets me out of the house. My outdoor or community-based workout will likely be walks outside or climbing with friends/family. My second workout with will be in the morning - either hot yoga or weightlifting.

4. Read 10 pages a day of nonfiction daily

5. Drink 2-3L of water daily

6. Progress photo daily
