Losing weight can seem overwhelming, but it shouldn’t be. In fact, you can quickly lose ten pounds before Memorial Day weekend, according to one health expert. Gen Cohen, CNC, recently shared a motivating video via Instagram with her followers, offering some easy ways you can lose weight without going to extremes. “How to feel your best by summer! Here’s how I lost 10lbs in the first two months of my health journey,” she writes in the caption of the Instagram post. The Body Network also consulted The Diet Diva, Tara Collingwood, MS, RDN, CSSD, LD/N, ACSM-CPT, a Board Certified Sports Dietitian, to weigh in on the weight loss suggestions that could get you feeling like the healthiest version of yourself before swimsuit season.

Focus on Losing Body Fat, Not Water Weight

“What I would do if I was trying to lose 10 pounds in the next two months,” she says in the video. “And I'm not talking about 10 pounds of water weight that you just gained back the next day. I'm talking about 10 pounds of body fat.” She starts by pointing out things a person should avoid, even if they could work in the short term.

Don’t Starve Yourself

“What I would not do is starve myself,” she says. “That is the quickest way to lead to fat gain after weight loss.” Collingwood agrees. “Starving and fasting can produce fast weight loss, but it also stresses the body and causes the metabolism to shut down, which in turn can cause rebound weight gain,” she says.

Don’t Do "Hours of Cardio” Daily

“What I also wouldn't do is ... hours of cardio every single day,” she continues. “Exercise is excellent, but too much can also stress the body and cause injury, not to mention burnout,” Collingwood adds.

Eat in a “Modest Caloric Deficit”

She then reveals her plan. “What I would do is eat in a modest caloric deficit, which, if you're a woman watching this video, means you'll probably be eating an average of 1500 to 2000 calories per day in order to lose weight,” she maintains.

Download a Meal Planning App

“I would download an app like MyFitnessPal and pre-plan my meals the day before to make sure I was able to hit my calories and my protein goal while still enjoying my social life,” she continues. Collingwood loves the idea of the app. “Keep track of calories to increase awareness, but don’t obsess over it,” she elaborates. “Focus on getting target goals for macros and balancing with movement and exercise.”

Invest in a Big Water Bottle and Hydrate

She also suggests investing in a big water bottle. “I would drink 16 ounces of water before getting out of bed in the morning, which helps regulate your cortisol and stress levels throughout the day,” she says. “And I would also drink 16 ounces of water before each meal. This will help you feel full quicker while you're still learning proper portion control.” Water is always essential for overall health, and when embarking on a weight loss plan, “however, it will not really fill you up for very long because it is absorbed within minutes into the stomach and intestines,” Collingwood points out.

Lift Weights and Walks

“And finally, rather than subscribing to some crazy fitness routine, I'd commit to lifting weights three maximum four times per week and prioritize getting a 60-minute walk in per day,” she suggests. “You can go to the gym and do 12-3-30. You can take your dog for a walk. You can get a walking pad and put it under your desk. I don't care how just 60 minutes of walking.”

Collingwood agrees that walking is a great way to burn calories with low impact. “Lifting weights is key to maintaining muscle while you are losing weight,” she says.

“I'd also visualize myself being the hottest, happiest version of me and remember that while my life isn't defined by the number on the scale, it's okay to want to take control of my health,” she concludes the video. In the caption, she added: “P.S. It’s okay to want to lose weight and improve your health...but please remember your life isn’t defined by the number on the scale.” Collingwood is on board with Gen’s overall approach. “Positive self-image and body image are wonderful. You don’t walk around with people knowing how much you weigh, but people do respond to your energy and attitude. If that is positive, you will be someone others will want to be around!” she says.

Do you want to shape up fast? According to an expert, you need to focus on only five habits. Karen Trasatti is a fat loss coach for women over 40 who looks half her age at 61. In a new viral Instagram post, she gets honest about what it takes to lose weight fast. “To all the midlife women out there…If you want to lose 10 pounds in the next 6 weeks and finally feel comfortable in your own skin, you need to commit to these 5 habits,” she writes.

These Habits Will Help You Feel Stronger and Also Boost Energy

“Want to lose 10 pounds in the next 6 weeks? If you’re a midlife woman and ready to shed some weight, feel stronger, and boost your energy, these are the 5 habits I would commit to,” she continues in the post.

RELATED:I Got My Best Body After 50 and Here’s How You Can, Too

Strength Train

The first habit she suggests is lifting weights, specifically strength training three times per week. “Muscle is your metabolism’s best friend! Lifting weights helps you burn more calories, even at rest,” she says. According to the Mayo Clinic, strength and weight training help reduce body fat, preserve and increase lean muscle mass, and burn calories more efficiently. Strength training may also help you:

  • Develop strong bones
  • Manage your weight
  • Enhance your quality of life
  • Manage chronic conditions
  • Sharpen your thinking skills

Prioritize Protein

Next, prioritize protein. “Aim for at least 25-30g per meal to support muscle and keep you full longer,” she says. According to clinical trials, consuming more protein than the recommended dietary allowance not only reduces body weight (BW), but also enhances body composition by decreasing fat mass while preserving fat-free mass (FFM) in both low-calorie and standard-calorie diets.

Walk Daily

She also recommends hitting 7,000-10,000 steps daily. “Walking is underrated for fat loss and overall health. Move your body as much as possible!” she writes. A 2018 study published in the journal Obesity found a link between walking 10,000 steps a day and weight loss and weight management. Other studies published by the Journal of American Medical Association (JAMA) in JAMA Neurology and in JAMA Internal Medicine also linked walking 10,000 steps a day to less dementia and less cardiovascular disease overall, with less heart disease, less heart failure, and fewer strokes.

Track Macros (Not Just Calories!)

Her next tip is tracking macros – not just calories. “Balancing protein, carbs, and fats is key for sustainable weight loss,” she writes.

Sleep

Finally, get seven to nine hours of sleep every night. “Poor sleep messes with hormones and cravings, making fat loss harder. Prioritize rest!” she says. What are the health benefits of sleep? According to the Sleep Foundation, getting enough z’s is a mood booster, promotes heart health, regulates blood sugar, improves mental function, restores your immune system, helps relieve stress, and aids in weight loss.

Lace-up your walking — not running — shoes. “Stop running and walk 10k+ steps a day instead,” he suggests.

Don’t Eat Peanut Butter

“Avoid peanut butter,” says Topham. “It’s high in calories, low in protein, and you’ll want to eat the whole tub.”

Don’t Eat Unless You Are Really Hungry

Don’t eat unless you are really hungry. “Before you eat, ask yourself: ‘Am I bored, thirsty, or stressed?’ If the answer is yes, don’t eat,” he says.

Harness Negative Emotions

You are allowed to eat your favorite foods but do so in moderation. “It’s fine to eat pizza, burgers, and chocolate occasionally because you’re human—but not ALL the time,” says Topham.

Don’t Eat Fake Meat

Avoid Extreme Diets

Only Drink Diet Soda

If you have a lot of weight to lose, it can seem hopeless and impossible. However, Samantha Costa, a 23-year-old influencer, lost a whopping 60 pounds in 3 months. In a viral YouTube video, she explains exactly how she did it, and a lot of it had to do with shifting her perspective and overall approach to weight loss.

Losing 60 Pounds in 6 Months with PCOS

Samantha_CostaSamantha Costa/YouTube

She starts with her backstory: In 2018 she was diagnosed with PCOS (polycystic ovary syndrome), which resulted in weight gain. “I fluctuate weight a lot and it also affects my periods. With that being said, because I was diagnosed with PCOS, I put on a lot of weight very fast, and it wasn't a type of weight that was healthy,” she said. Costa, who is five-foot-one, topped the scale at around 200 pounds. “Being in a place where I knew I wasn't healthy was really scaring me.” At the time she was able to drop 50 to 60 pounds in “five to six months” by going to Orangetherory and eating right. “I think I weighed around 196 pounds and I got down to around 135,” she specified.

The Power of Whole Grains

Her main dietary change at the time involved swapping out white carbs with whole grain and whole wheat. “I literally had grilled chicken, pasta, grated cheese, and tomato sauce every single day because that's what made me happy,” she said. After graduating from college in May 2022, “and I honestly was a very steady weight of around probably 129 pounds to 140 throughout all of my senior year of college,” she felt like she was at a healthy weight for herself around 135 pounds. She spent the summer lifeguarding. “I was having a really fun time, and honestly everything was going very well,” she continued.

A Stressful Job Ruined Her Health and Happiness

However, in August she started her “big job at a big four company” and it was “the downfall of everything,” she claims. “I'm not going to talk too much about it, but the stress of that job, which I am no longer working in, was very, very hard for me.” She stopped working out and spent most of her free time isolating. Over a period of about 7 months she probably gained 60 to 70 pounds, and was “very, very sad,” she says. “I wasn't happy with how I looked and I was having a hard time with it, but it was more that I knew I wasn't healthy and I knew I needed to get healthy because of this. I would always tell myself, ‘You know what? You did it once. You can definitely do it again.’”

From 10,000 Steps to 500

She couldn’t motivate herself to go to fitness studio again, “something that I used to love going to do,” she says. While she used to walk 10,000 steps a day, she “was lucky if I hit probably 500 steps a day because I was always at my computer, always doing something for work, and there was really just no time for me to do it.”

She Lost 10 Pounds in a Week and Kept Going

Every day she looked in the mirror and told herself “in three months from now, you will look so much better. You'll feel so much better, which is the most important, and you will want to do things because you started.” Eventually she started seeing progress, claiming that she lost 10 pounds in one week, which she knew was water weight. Within a few weeks she noticed a “little bit of a difference” and once she started to see that difference, “it was a lot easier to believe in myself and notice that there was real progress happening and that there was change happening, which allowed me to keep going within my journey.”

The Secrets to Her Success

She revealed that she did keto, which is “very hard to sustain,” she admits. “It was very hard for me to eat a certain amount of carbs every single day, and it was very hard for me to cut out sugar. I'm someone who loves sugar, but I knew that in order to be in a healthy place again, and in order to get to my goal in the most efficient way, especially with summer coming up, I needed to do something that would really change and really allow my body to adapt.” She also emphasizes the importance of protein. “Eating carbs is something that obviously we all need. I am not saying don't eat carbs. Please eat your macros. Please eat carbs. Please allow yourself to have the energy that you need. I'm just saying what I did was I lowered the amount of carbs that I ate, but I was still eating enough to feel energized to be able to go to the gym and to give my body what it needs.”

She Increased Intake of Proteins and Exercised

Amping up your protein intake may help you lose weight. According to clinical trials, consuming more protein than the recommended dietary allowance not only reduces body weight (BW), but also enhances body composition by decreasing fat mass while preserving fat-free mass (FFM) in both low-calorie and standard-calorie diets. She also went back to fitness studio four to five times a week, starting with gentle workouts and working her way up to more intense ones. She also recommends taking rest days.

Stay Motivated and Positive on Your Journey

“In the beginning, you're probably going to feel like you can't do it and it's probably going to feel impossible, and if you are someone who doesn't feel like that, I give you so much credit because I've been there so many times and I felt like it was impossible every single time,” she adds. “The number one thing I want to tell you is to prove yourself wrong. Prove every single person that may have doubted you wrong. The only thing that matters is that you believe in yourself. The only thing that matters is that you have the mindset that will allow you to feel better, and every single time you question yourself, make one of those videos, take progress pictures, tell yourself that you are so much better than you were even one day ago, and if you are really having trouble starting, just try for one day.”

Ever felt stuck in a weight loss plateau despite doing everything "right"? You're not alone. Ali Spagnola, a digital coach specializing in nutrition, fitness, biohacking, and self-improvement on her YouTube channel Ali Spagnola's Fitness Outrageous, recently shared her remarkable journey of losing 15 pounds of fat in just 25 weeks without feeling hungry or deprived. "I just lost 15 pounds really quickly and without being hungry. And I know that sounds crazy," Ali admits. Follow along as she reveals her seven proven strategies that helped her achieve these results and can transform your fitness journey too.

Track Fat Loss, Not Just Weight

The number on the scale doesn't tell the whole story. "Track your fat loss, not just your weight loss. You want to get leaner, not just scrawnier," Ali says in her post. She uses tools like zozo fit for weekly measurements and occasional DEXA scans to confirm she's losing fat while preserving muscle. This approach ensures you're making progress toward a healthier body composition rather than just seeing the scale go down while potentially losing valuable muscle.

Build Muscle First

Before focusing on weight loss, consider building your metabolic engine. "The thing that helped me lose weight so rapidly and easily is because I actually bulked or reverse dieted and sped up my metabolism before trying to cut weight," Ali reveals. By gradually increasing her caloric intake from 1800-2100 to eventually 2700 calories, her body adapted to burning more calories efficiently. This metabolic boost made subsequent fat loss much easier and allowed her to eat more while still losing weight.

Understand Reverse Dieting

Think of reverse dieting as training your metabolism. "When I taught my body to burn more by reverse dieting, suddenly 2300 calories, 200 more than I was used to, still made me lose weight quickly," Ali shares. This approach involves slowly adding calories while minimizing weight gain, essentially manipulating your metabolism to work for you. For those plateaued in their weight loss journey, this counterintuitive strategy of temporarily eating more might be the key to breaking through.

Be Realistic About Timelines

Rapid results often come after years of consistent work. "My weight loss phase was a total of 25 weeks, but compared to the year and a half it took me to gain the weight, that's pretty darn speedy," Ali points out. She spent nine years transforming her body, with significant plateaus along the way. If you're just starting out, you'll likely see faster initial results thanks to "newbie gains," but long-term progress requires patience and consistency.

Dieting Can Be Easier Than Bulking

Contrary to popular belief, eating less can sometimes be simpler than eating more. "Cutting is way easier, and I know that sounds crazy because who likes to diet?" Ali admits. When bulking, she needed precise tracking and quality nutrition to avoid unhealthy weight gain. During her fat loss phase, she could be more relaxed with tracking, occasionally enjoy drinks, and still progress toward her goal as long as she maintained a caloric deficit.

Don't Stress About Fluctuations

Daily variations in weight and performance are normal and meaningless. "When you zoom out, that is a pretty consistent ride down, though there's still a bump. So even when you zoom out, don't freak out. Trust the process," Ali advises. She explains that weight fluctuations happen due to water retention and other factors unrelated to actual fat loss. Similarly, strength might decrease temporarily during a cutting phase while bodyweight exercises become easier – these are all normal parts of the process.

Incorporate Passive Movement

Find ways to move more without dedicated workout time. "I happen to do a treadmill desk challenge video for this channel during my cut and I'm pretty darn sure that made my weight melt off even faster," Ali shares. By walking while working, she increased her daily calorie burn without adding structured exercise. This approach is especially valuable for those with desk jobs who struggle to find time for additional workouts.

Optimize Your Sleep Environment

Your sleep quality dramatically impacts weight loss success. "The eight sleep mattress... is so thoughtless that you are unconscious. Yes, I am talking about losing weight in your sleep," Ali enthuses. She sets her temperature-controlled mattress to 63 degrees, citing research showing that sleeping in cooler temperatures can boost metabolism. Beyond potential metabolic benefits, quality sleep improves recovery, hormonal balance, and energy levels – all crucial factors for sustainable fat loss.

Newbies Have an Advantage

Those just starting their fitness journey can make rapid progress. "If you're just starting out, look at my one to two years. It's the biggest transformation I've ever had. Newbie gains are real," Ali encourages. When you first begin resistance training, your body can simultaneously lose fat and gain muscle – something more advanced lifters struggle to achieve. Take advantage of this biological window by focusing on consistent training and proper nutrition from the start.

Trust the Process

Fitness is a marathon, not a sprint. "Trust the system that you set up, not the tiny little inconsistent measurements ready to ruin your day," Ali recommends. Her approach emphasizes creating sustainable systems rather than obsessing over daily results. By focusing on the big picture and maintaining consistency with proven strategies, you're more likely to achieve lasting results rather than quick fixes that lead to rebound weight gain.

Last Word

Ali's journey demonstrates that effective fat loss comes from understanding your metabolism, building muscle, tracking the right metrics, and optimizing lifestyle factors like sleep and daily movement. "Quality sleep is the most important thing for any fitness journey. Before you even think about nutrition or workouts, get your sleep in line," Ali concludes. By applying these evidence-based strategies consistently, you can transform your body composition while eating more than you might expect – making the process both effective and sustainable.

We've all been there – struggling to find an exercise routine that actually works while watching the scale refuse to budge. Kathleen Hart, Mindset & Weight Loss Coach, knows this challenge all too well. After losing 55 pounds three separate times and keeping it off for over 3 years, Kathleen has built a following of nearly 100,000 subscribers on her YouTube channel lil Piece of Hart by sharing practical, sustainable weight loss strategies. Her secret weapon? Walking 10,000 steps daily – a simple habit that helped her drop from 200 pounds to 138. Read on to discover how this accessible exercise can transform your body and mindset without complicated workout routines.

The 10,000 Step Secret

Walking might seem too simple to be effective, but Kathleen swears it's "probably the best exercise you can do for weight loss." She explains that getting her steps in every day was "literally the exact key" to how she lost over 55 pounds three times. The beauty of walking, Kathleen points out, is that unlike other exercises, it "does not feel like exercise" – it's enjoyable and incredibly beneficial for your body. Her personal sweet spot? "I aim to get about 10,000 steps every day and I feel like that is my sweet spot," Kathleen shares.

Perfect for Exercise-Haters

If traditional workouts make you cringe, you're not alone. "I hate exercising. There you go, I said it," Kathleen confesses. She doesn't enjoy home workout videos or going to the gym. Yet walking provides a perfect alternative because it's fun and doesn't feel like a chore. Kathleen tried following online workout programs but couldn't stick with them, whereas walking became something she genuinely looks forward to daily.

Anyone Can Do It

One major advantage of walking is its accessibility. "Anyone can do it, all ages, and it is a low impact workout," Kathleen emphasizes. You won't put stress on your joints or knees while still burning calories. Since most people can walk for long distances and periods, it's an exercise option that doesn't require special skills or equipment. Kathleen recommends this approach especially for those who think they can only walk for a few minutes – just aim to add slightly more time each day.

Belly Fat Buster

Looking to target stubborn belly fat? Walking might be your answer. "Walking can reduce belly fat because regular walking can help your body's response to insulin, which is where you hold your belly fat," Kathleen shares from personal experience. Plus, it boosts your metabolism, which helps with overall weight loss. While spot reduction isn't generally possible, improving insulin sensitivity through regular walking can significantly impact how your body stores fat around your midsection.

Mental Health Benefits

Physical transformation isn't the only benefit of daily walks. "Walking is awesome for your mental health," Kathleen stresses. It modifies your nervous system and can actually decrease feelings of anger and stress hormone production. Taking time for yourself during walks provides valuable "me time" that many of us overlook. Kathleen believes mindset is just as important as exercise and nutrition in your weight loss journey, making walking a powerful tool for both physical and mental wellness.

Health Beyond Weight Loss

The benefits of walking extend far beyond just losing pounds. Kathleen explains that regular walking "has the power to lower your blood sugar," reducing your overall diabetes risk. It also helps lower blood pressure and aids in healthy digestion. Additionally, walking strengthens your bones and muscles by maintaining range of motion and improving blood flow. For Kathleen, these health benefits make walking worthwhile even beyond its weight loss effects.

Vitamin D Boost

Taking your walks outdoors provides an additional benefit: natural vitamin D from sunshine. "I'm right in the sun, as you can see me squinting. This is so good for you," Kathleen says enthusiastically. This natural vitamin source contributes to better overall health and can improve your mood. Combined with the physical activity, outdoor walking creates a powerful wellness combination that indoor exercises can't match.

Better Sleep and Stress Relief

Establishing a walking routine creates positive ripple effects throughout your life. Kathleen points out that "by walking and getting more steps and getting your vitamin D and improving your digestion, you are going to get better sleep." Walking also serves as an effective stress reliever by modifying your nervous system to release anger. These benefits create a positive cycle – better sleep leads to better mood, which makes it easier to maintain healthy habits.

Start Small and Build Up

For beginners, Kathleen recommends starting slow: "See how many steps you're walking right now every single day, and just make an improvement a little bit each day." There's no need to jump from 2,000 to 10,000 steps immediately. "It doesn't have to go from 2,000 steps a day all the way up to 10,000 steps in one day," Kathleen emphasizes. When she began her weight loss journey in 2013, she was walking fewer than 2,000 steps daily with her desk job, but evening walks with her husband and dogs became a turning point.

Track Your Progress

Using a fitness tracker can significantly boost motivation. "Fitbits are a great place to start if you're just trying to track your steps," Kathleen advises, though she's since upgraded to an Apple Watch. She finds step tracking "a little bit addicting" because "you like when your Fitbit buzzes and you see your little step goal going up." This immediate feedback creates a rewarding experience that helps maintain consistency in your walking routine.

Challenge Yourself

Once you've established a walking routine, it's time to increase the challenge. Kathleen suggests walking faster: "Push yourself just a little bit faster. Start off slow if you need to and then increase how fast you're walking." For treadmill users, she recommends a structured workout: start with a 2-3 minute slow warmup, then alternate between fast walking (one minute) and medium pace (one minute) for 20-25 minutes, followed by a 2-3 minute cooldown. This interval approach maximizes calorie burn without overwhelming your body.

The 10K Steps Weight Loss Formula

Through trial and error, Kathleen discovered her personal step goal: "I aim to get about 10,000 steps every day and I feel like that is my sweet spot." This target allows her flexibility with her diet while still making progress toward her goals. "That helps me have a little bit of wiggle room with my diet and still be able to crush my goals," Kathleen explains. She shares that she's currently down to 138 pounds from her starting weight of 200 pounds after having her daughter. Finding your personal "sweet spot" might take experimentation, but Kathleen encourages consistency over perfection.

Real Results, No Magic Pills

Weight loss isn't a quick fix, as Kathleen candidly shares: "There's no magic weight loss pill. There's no like apple cider vinegar drink that you can drink that'll just make you drop pounds." Instead, she encourages readers to "start enjoying the journey and the whole thing will change for you." Walking provides a sustainable approach that can become an enjoyable part of your daily life rather than another dreaded obligation. "Losing weight is a journey," Kathleen reminds us, and her impressive 50-pound weight loss in 5 months through walking 10,000 steps daily proves that simple, consistent habits can create dramatic transformations.

If you have over 50 pounds to lose, it can feel overwhelming. One way to ease the burden is by getting advice from weight loss warriors who have successfully gotten in shape and are sharing their solutions. Tara Dixon is a personal trainer and online coach who helps women “find the best version of themselves, lose weight & break free from fad diets,” she writes in her Instagram bio. In a recent social media post, she revealed her top 5 asked questions about how she lost 84 lbs in a year. “Just remember what worked for me might not work for everyone!” she reminded.

I Worked Out My Calorie Deficit

“How do you work out your calorie deficit?” is the top question she is asked. “I guessed at first… and guess what? I wasn’t eating enough 🤣. And then I found out about a TDEE calculator (I used a free one online) and this should give you your deficit. 3 months into my journey, I started working with a coach (worth its weight in gold if this is something you can afford). My top tips with this… always make sure you are eating enough, you can’t function and workout effectively if you don’t eat enough. Don’t stress too much over cals: try it for a week, if you’re being honest with your tracking and still not losing weight, you can lower it slightly. Keep it simple,” she said.

I Tracked My Macros

Next, she is regularly asked about how she tracked her macros. “What do I track with? NUTRACHECK. I find it simple and clear. Easy to track cals and protein,” she reveals.

I Ate Enough Protein

Protein is another core part of any weight loss journey, and Tara made sure to eat enough. “How do I get 150g protein in every day?” is another FAQ her followers have. “Plan your meals around your protein and make sure your breakfast is protein heavy so you’re not chasing your tail all day long,” she responds.

I Cut Out Alcohol

A lot of people also want to know: “Did you cut out alcohol?” she says. “I did at first as I was so determined to lose weight, but I have since reintroduced it. Just remember nothing is forever and it’s ok to stop something for a bit if it’s not serving you in a positive way.”

I Prioritized Nutrition Over Exercise

The last question: Is exercise more important than diet? “Nooooo. You cannot outrun a bad diet. For weight loss it’s all about nutrition and calorie deficit. Steps second and then exercise. So if you’re strapped for time but really want to lose weight, prioritise your nutrition,” she says.

The Challenge That Changes Everything

We all have moments when we look in the mirror and don't recognize the person staring back. Jennifer Madison found herself at that crossroads and decided to take action. "It was honestly kind of on a whim that I decided to do this," Jennifer admits in her post. "I gave up alcohol not too long ago, just because I wanted to feel better about myself, and I felt like alcohol wasn't helping with any of my goals." Her journey began after hitting 38 days alcohol-free, coincidentally the same number of days she lasted in her previous 75 Hard attempt. This time would be different. Discover how this ordinary woman achieved extraordinary results through pure determination.

What Is 75 Hard Anyway?

75 Hard isn't just another fitness challenge—it's a complete mental toughness program designed to transform your life through discipline. The rules are simple but demanding: take a daily progress photo, drink a gallon of water, follow a diet with no cheat meals or alcohol, complete two 45-minute workouts (one outdoors regardless of weather), and read 10 pages of a non-fiction book. Miss one task, and you start over at day one. "If you're already looking for excuses, there are plenty out there," Jennifer says. "There will always be an important event coming up. The weather won't always be 70 and sunny." But the rewards are worth every sacrifice.

The First Week Breakthrough

Committing to something is always easier than maintaining it, especially when old habits try to pull you back. Jennifer started strong but knew the real challenge would come during her commute days. "I don't know yet if I'm going to share this, or if I want to put it out there again with the world that I'm trying again," she confessed early on. "I know my family is not going to want me to do this again, so I haven't told anyone because I truly was at a really, really dark place last time." Despite her doubts, the results came quickly—she dropped 5.2 pounds in just one week, proving that immediate payoff can fuel long-term commitment.

Overcoming Social Pressure

Social situations become minefields when you're committed to strict habits. Jennifer faced this head-on during work dinners and celebrations. "Everyone was drinking wine. They were like, 'Oh Jen didn't get a glass.' They told the waiter it was my birthday. He got me a little shot of vodka and pineapple juice. I gave it to a co-worker," Jennifer recalls. She even resorted to smashing cake into a napkin to avoid breaking her commitment when pressured to eat dessert. While these moments were challenging, they strengthened her resolve and showed that saying "no" gets easier with practice.

The Weather Won't Stop You

Mother Nature doesn't care about your fitness goals, but true transformation means persevering anyway. "It's pouring. So this is what I looked like coming back into work. I'm soaked. My pants are soaked. My shoes are soaked. My socks are soaked. I look like a wet dog but I got my 45 minutes in so that's what counts," Jennifer shared after a particularly brutal outdoor workout. Through rain, cold, and exhaustion, she never missed a day. Your excuses about weather conditions will seem insignificant after seeing what's possible with true commitment.

Hitting the 38-Day Milestone

Breaking past your previous failure point creates powerful momentum. Day 38 marked a significant psychological milestone for Jennifer—the day she had given up during her first attempt. "I am feeling so happy. My spirits are very high. I am on cloud nine, honestly," Jennifer revealed. "I'm gonna accomplish it this time around. I know I'm gonna hit all 75 days." Pushing through your former breaking point proves that your past doesn't define your future. You can rewrite your story with persistence.

The Physical Transformation

Consistent effort yields undeniable results. Jennifer lost an impressive 25 pounds during her 75 Hard journey, but the benefits went far beyond numbers on a scale. "My mom kept commenting on how my face looks so much skinnier. I just look in the mirror and I look at myself in the camera so much that I don't really notice the changes," Jennifer remarked. Sometimes others notice our transformation before we do. Your daily progress may seem small, but others will see the dramatic difference when your discipline accumulates over weeks and months.

Developing Healthy Nutrition Habits

Food discipline isn't just about following rules—it's about developing better awareness of your body's actual needs. "Something I really struggle with and something I'm really working on is trying to control food noise and figuring out am I eating because I feel like it's time to eat or am I eating because I'm hungry," Jennifer shared. Throughout the challenge, she learned to resist social eating cues and listen to her body instead. You'll discover that many of your eating habits are based on convenience or social pressure rather than genuine hunger.

Finding Joy in Movement

Exercise becomes something you crave rather than dread when it becomes part of your identity. Jennifer gradually shifted from reluctant workouts to enthusiastic movement. "I feel so good. If I could, I would do midday workouts all the time. I feel like I have the most energy to do my best workouts," she noticed by the end of her journey. Your relationship with physical activity can transform completely when you commit to consistent practice regardless of motivation.

The Mental Transformation

The physical changes are impressive, but the mental shift is what truly lasts. "I give up too often and I'm changing who I am. I'm not that person anymore. I don't give up on things. I follow through with things. I accomplish my goals," Jennifer declared during the final third of her challenge. This mental toughness extends to every area of life, from career ambitions to personal relationships. You'll develop a proven track record with yourself that builds unshakable self-trust.

Life After 75 Hard

Completing a challenge means nothing if you return to old habits. The true test comes after day 75. "In the nearly two months that have passed since doing 75 Hard, I've lost even more weight and feel better than I ever did," Jennifer reported. She maintained her reading habit, consistent workouts, outdoor walks, and even added weight training. The challenge provided the structure to develop habits that became a sustainable lifestyle. Your transformation doesn't have to end when the challenge does.

Jennifer's journey proves that ordinary people can achieve extraordinary results through consistent discipline. She started just like you—uncertain, with plenty of excuses and past failures. Yet 75 days of unwavering commitment completely transformed both her body and mindset. "If someone told you that you could change your entire life in just two and a half months, would you do the work necessary to make the change?" Jennifer asks. The answer is up to you, but her results speak for themselves. What could you accomplish in the next 75 days?
