    The Ideal Protein 25 by Spring is up!

    This one runs New Years Day to the first day of Spring.

    Some of us want to drop a few lbs, some of us are remaining steadfast on or beginning our initial P1 journey, and others are rebooting. Whatever the reason, we can do it together! We can be 25 lbs lighter (or more) by the first day of spring!

    Let's get going (or keep it going)!

    Here are the rules. It helps to know how spreadsheets work.

    Please read all of the following:

    Click the link to request access.
    Access is NOT automated so be patient. You only need to request access to this challenge once.

    I'll send you an email asking for your 3fc screen name. After you reply to that email with the requested information, you will be granted access and notified by email (not right away...I have to do it manually from my laptop, it doesn't work from my mobile devices. Please only send ONE request. Sending multiple requests only fills up my email box. It doesn't get you approved faster).

    No one will see your email address except for me. I keep track of everyone on the list so when data disturbances happen, I know who to talk to or delete. During a previous challenge, someone kept changing/reformatting things & didn't respond to my requests to stop so I deleted them from the challenge. Last year, these challenges were "open" but trolls messed up the sheets too often so we had to "close" them & issue invitations <so sad people have nothing better to do in life>.

    Be ready with your starting weight. No waiting for "next" WI. Just plug in your current weight.

    When granted access, put your 3fcscreen name on the next available row. (just click the first blank box in column A)
    Then tab over to complete columns B, C.
    Please don't add data to columns D,E,F,G (they're in color). They auto-calculate as you add info.
    Please don't sort or otherwise re-format the challenge. Data has gotten all mixed up/lost when that happens.

    Only type in the white spaces. Any columns that are highlighted with color will auto calculate. If your auto calculate doesn't work, just leave it be. I'll fix it. If you try to fill in missing numbers, I won't know the auto calculate isn't working.

    Current weight goes in the "starting weight" column. Use your current WI.
    If you joined late, just enter zeros in the WI columns that you missed.

    Please only request access if you actually plan on participating. A LOT of people requested access before and never participated. No lurking! Only active participants!

    This is a spreadsheet. Please make sure you know how to use spreadsheets before you join. Don't forget to bookmark so you can find the spreadsheet again!

  • 11 weigh ins. I don't average 2.5 lbs/week but I'm hoping for 20 lbs anyway.
  • I too am in! 25 pounds is a major portion of my remaining pounds to goal -- this challenge is a great way to start the new year!!

    Once again, thank you so much for setting this up for us, Lisa -- you are a true leader in this Ideal Protein community -- I am not sure how we would fare without you!
