**25lb Fun in the Sun Summer Challenge**
 

Okay, I've got the new spreadsheet ready for the next challenge BUT...I need someone to take over ownership and running of it.

Long story short, I've decided to phase off IP and go in another direction to lose the last 12, 13lbs I need to lose. Let's just say my clinic transitioning to another diet product and now my coach leaving, was the start of my decision to do this.

There's not much to it but being familiar with spreadsheets/Excel would help. It would also have to be someone who is able to PM because that's the easiest way to receive information on who wants to sign up, etc.

So, PM me if you're interested - even a couple of people doing it would work well.

Thanks!
Jo

I would do it but I have no idea to use excel.

I got it. I'll get it posted as soon as I'm added as an owner.
The new challenge starts Sunday, using this week's WI number.
I'm ready to get to GOAL!!!!

How do I join?

Lisa, if you need help, please let me know. :) I'm not much of a poster but I read a few times everyday. I'm going to try to write more.

I really hope that you can kick this stall & get to your goal!!

Summer challenge!
 

Thank you, Purplemomster. :cp:
Thank you, Lisa, for steppiing up for the new challenge. :wave:

I managed to whittle out 16 pounds during the last 12 weeks. measly it may be, but I am quite happy with my progress. I am willing to stay on low-carb protocol until the end of 2014. Why not? I am not suffering from any feeling of deprivation or adverse effects. Overall, I did not meet 25 but I will gladly take 16.

On the summer challenge:
Midway through the next challenge, I have a two-week vacation in my home country. I am not sure how I can persevere with my veggie-protein diet amidst dinner parties and my mom's sinfully-scrumptious dishes. Let me think about and prepare for it.

At any rate, I want to join the summer challenge and plan to shed 15 pounds, hitting 153 by June 20.

Here's to you IPers for another happy losing day! :coffee2:

Link for joining the challenge
 

All 7 requests have been approved so far.
If I don't get to you right away, be aware I have out-of-town company coming this weekend. Here is the link for the challenge

It will require you to request access by entering an email address. Be sure to use the email you'll be using to sign in. This a google doc.

Once you've been granted access, you're good-to-go.

These challenges used to be more "open" but someone trolled one of the spreadsheets and changed all the data. smh :?: You'd think people would have more to do in life... I feel sorry for them.

Anyway, good luck and thanks for joining me in BUSTING THE PLATEAU!!!

I'm in. Thanks for doing this.

I would love to join this challenge! How fun!!

I'm excited to join the challenge. I weighed in last Friday and don't weigh again until Monday. Will I enter my weight from last Friday or wait until Monday?

pick one

Lisa, thanks for doing this. I think it is a great motivator or way to track our progress on the scale. As we all know (and I continue to remind myself) it is no all about the # on the scale.

Have a great weekend all

I would like to join but I'm unclear on how to join?

I also would like to participate in this challenge! Thank you for starting a summer challenge! Do I require to create a Google account? Thanks again!

Read post #8
The link and directions are there

All requests have been approved so far (9:20 am ct Saturday)
so far 22 people have requested access

I asked to join, I had to use a gmail account that I never use

Thank You for accepting my request. I have entered my information! Can't wait!

people are signing up with non-gmail accounts.
We have aol, comcast, bellsouth, hotmail

Just use your email

I it made me put in a gmail, I have one, it wasn't a big deal, just not my regular mail lol

Lisa, I signed up for an account and then tried to access through the link. It denied me permission and said to contact the owner directly. Can you help? Thanks!

Did you get an email saying you'd been added?
When you sign up, you're requesting permission.
I have to manually allow everyone so it only happens when I'm online, on my computer. It doesn't work on my mobile devices.

I receive an email for account registration. Not sure if that's what you're looking for. Thanks

I just tried again. This time it said a request had been sent, so I should be ok now. Thanks.

Signed up and ready!
 

Thanks, Purplemomster for suggesting another challenge!

Thanks, Lisa for coordinating the summer challenge!

So do I go in and add my own information now that I've been added?

Hi AmberLS,

Yes, you enter your information and on the top right hand side you select share and it will save your information.

Hope that helps

I am in also. I lost 22.2 in the spring challenge, didn't meet the challenge but 22lbs lost is good enough for me. Now I have something to base this challenge against and see if I can do better! Good luck everyone!!

request sent :)

Excited! I am re-starting IP after a 3 week break, so this will be great motivation for me. I will be out of country for two weeks in April, but I'm hoping to push it until then. :)

Excited for the challenge!! :carrot:

challenge
 

I have sent in my request! I am looking forward to this challenge. I have been on the plan since January 1 and have only lost 18 pounds. It seems so little compared to everyone else. However, I am going down on the scale and that is what is important. I hope this challenge provides me extra motivation!!! NO CHEATING! :hug:

I am back in this with no breaks this time! I have completed my training and climbed a mountain. I am coming off of a 2 week break/vacation and my head is in the right place. I am determined to learn more about how my body reacts to food in maintenance and I am going to stick with a coach through maintenance this time.

I'm actually researching other coaches in the area. There is one connected to a doctor's office I may call.
We'll see how the first couple of weeks go...
Mine lost me when she never called me after my vacation

I have also been researching other clinics because I heard the coach I love is leaving but I have serious issues with paying for $10-20 each WI on top of the food cost. Good luck with your first couple of weeks and I hope you break your plateau. I have been reading, no time to post. :) I can't believe how many new people are here!

Ya. No. I won't pay for WI if I'm paying for food. That is price gouging. They can charge me for one or the other but not both.

I have sent a request.

40 people have requested access & been sent approval so far. We've got a good group!
Here is the link:

We will all soon be rocking those swimsuit bodies!

Awesome! Thanks Lisa!

Yay, thanks for doing this Lisa! Love these challenges!
