Hi LL,

Thanks for putting me on the list Loulou...day 1/14 was a good one.

[brooke22]

Oh no... I was too late to catch this time round. But Id love to be on the next one.
So far 5 days into Cohens and deviation free!

[lindy]

Hey Brooke,

Wait for Lucy Lou to get back to you but I don't see why you couldn't join the challenge still. It did only start yesterday and I would assume that if you have been deviation free since starting that you would still qualify to join. Just wait and see....

[SuzieQ]

Okay confession time, I stuffed up and had an alcohol deviation last night while at the coast. My tail is between my legs and I feel like crap so yes, I have learned my lesson it was the first and last D for me.

Loulou what do I do? I was D free up until last night so I guess I am out of the challenge for this fortnight . I was supposed to get another mango for the previous fortnight but now I don't even feel that I deserve it, so I may just hold on to the ones I have and join you again next fortnight if that's okay.

Take Care

Suzie

[Ronky]

Oh No,

I have to pull out of the challenge. I went to my sisters house and she was so good with providing food for me even weighing it beore I got there. When I was eating my beautiful fish I knew something was wrong and found out her husband had marinated it in sweet chilli sauce. I will have to pull out for the next 2 weeks. It wasnt delibrate however I ahve gone into this saying any deviation is a deviation so I will have to wait a little longer for my next mango. Back on the path now.

I will just add as a word of warning. This slight deviation has left me with stomach cramps so take notice all. Its not worth it!!!! Although the fish was beautiful AT THE TIME!!!

Good Luck

Yes Brooke, Lindy's right, I am going to put you on the list, you were DF on Friday and were only a day late checking in. it's so exciting getting a Dancing Mango I wouldn't want to deprive you of it. I'll edit the list so you're on it. Great to have you on the forum and joining us on our Cohen's adventure. I think being 100% all the way is the easiest way to do this...plus it'll ensure you get to maintenance ASAP!

Suzie Q - you get to hang on to your Mangoes for this fortnight, if you deviate in the next fortnight I'm afraid you lose the lot. A great incentive to stay DF isn't it! You've been doing so well I'm sure you'll be fine and adding up those Mangoes again.

Ronky - what a shock for you! And after all that trouble you went to. This is why I don't eat in restaurants, you never can be sure, but from your own family, that is a tough one. All the best for the rest of the fortnight and see you back for the next challenge.

[brooke22]

Thankyou so much!!!
How exciting!

[Francesca]

Hi Loulou

Just wanted to check in to report that I'm still in the running for this fortnight's mango, despite feeling a bit discouraged by very slow losses of late AND being very tempted by a ton of gourmet pizzas at a friend's party today. I was so good! I brought some food, helped make the pizzas and distributed them to the guests. Did not deviate at all! It was tempting at times, but the mango challenge kept me on the straight and narrow. Thank you!

[Lulabelle]

I think we get our first mangos this coming Friday, don't we Francesca?

Good on you for staying 100%... I've gotten through some really tricky social situations (one of which included sitting at a restaurant table with about 30 friends and being the girl eating her pre-cooked dinner out of a tupperware container *laughs*)... it's SO worth it, isn't it?

Congratulations to everyone who has just picked up another mango last week!!!

[lucylou]

Hi Lulabelle and Francesca

Well done on getting through some tough situations. It is worth it. I've sat through dinner parties and not eaten a thing or taken my own food, it's not forever and the results are worth it

The 100% Challenge runs over a fortnight so not this Friday but the next those Mangoes will be dancing i your signature.

My computer is going to hospital today but I'll still try and drop in and make sure you're OK.

[Francesca]

Hi Loulou and Lulabelle!

Yup, it really is so worth it. I felt really good afterwards, even though it didn't feel great at the time when I could smell some gorgeous pizzas right in front of me. Nothing tastes as good as looking good feels!

Can't wait for my inaugural mango next Friday. Mango! Mango! Mango!

[Ellabelle]

Still going strong - whoo hoo... bring on the mango! mmm... mango

[Francesca]

Hey Ellabelle

Way to go on being d-free! I've been good too! I can almost smell that mango already

Keep up the good work, everyone. One week to a mango!
