  • US Labor Day is the unofficial "end" of summer

    How much weight can be lost in the next 11 weeks?

    This challenge is only for active 3fc participants on the Ideal Protein plan.

    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 20-25 lbs lighter (or more) by summer's "end"!

    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. (Note: Googledocs made some changes that don't work well with some mobile devices. you may need to access from your laptop).

    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).

    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. These challenges used to be "open" but trolls messed up the sheets too often so we had to "close".

    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 (if they don't work, I'll notice. No need to contact me.)

    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!

    The challenge is a spreadsheet. You'll need to know how to enter data into a spreadsheet (or have someone who can help you). Don't forget to bookmark so you can find the spreadsheet again!

    Let's do this!!!
  • Thanks for starting yet another one, Lisa.

    I can open the sheet, but I can't enter anything.
  • I changed the link. Try again.
  • Yay, thank you for doing this!!
  • Lisa - Thanks for keeping this going for us. While I didn't lose as much as I wanted to (my own fault) last time around, these challenges keep me accountable. I appreciate your taking the time to create these challenges for us.
  • Requested! I appreciate you doing this for us. It really keeps me on track!
  • Lisa - thank you for doing this. I'm sure it's a lot of work for you.

    I hadn't started yet when you had the last challenge, this is a great idea!
    I just added my name to the chart.

    Wish everyone success!
  • I'm a newbie and I would love to join the challenge to help me keep on track. Thanks for putting this together!
  • I'm joining, too! Lisa, I got the email, but am having issues adding my name on my ipad. I won't be at my laptop for a day or two, so look for me to add my info then. Thanks so much for coordinating this!
