Default 100% Cohen's Challenge - Fri 12/12 – Thu 25/12

It is time to start a new challenge! This is a big one, because it includes Christmas Day, but I'm sure that you are all up for it! I've put together the list of contenders, some of you haven't specifically said that you want to be in, but I hoped you would be! If you don't, just let me know and I'll take you off, and of course, if you haven't been put on the list and want to join, just let me know and you'll be added quicker than you can say MANGO!

On the Christmas Mango challenge are:

Dmon
Shanara
Samnich01
Polly
Ruby
TwoZeds
Jamanoha
Joroma
Maria1969yellow
NBS
Purple Lady
Gorgeous one
Skinnykat
Mette (that's me!)

Stay strong and keep smiling, everyone!

HI everyone

Just realised this mango challenge ends on Christmas day - what a wonderful way to give us extra incentive to stay Dfree for Christmas.

Well I have just received my 3rd mango. Always laughed at how, when my kids were little, they were so swayed by getting a merit certificate at school. After all it was just a piece of cardboard - yet it symbolised so much. Now I am just as chuffed with my litle dancing mango men...too funny.



All hail to the mango goddess who sets sucha wonderful example with her gazzillion mangoes. Mette - thanks for entering me automatically in the this one. You know I am hooked.

Hope everyone in the last challenge has a lovely time today posting their little dancing man go!

Shanara

Thanks Mette

I'm definitely up for mango #4... planning to stay DF over the entire holidays

I will try to pop online to let you all know I am still DF, but we're going to be camping from 26-30 Dec... I will be visiting my sister during that time though, so if you can, I would love to be included in the next challenge also.

Wishing everyone a Happy DF fortnight!!

Take care and good luck everyone - STAY STRONG, it's just another day in the year and will be there next year!!!!

NBS and Maria, you are now included on the list! Good to have you on board! And you're exactly right, NBS, it's just another day, and it will come again next year and the year after that. And you will feel so empowered and proud once you accomplish this. Always remember: nothing tastes as good as being slim (and healthy) feels!

Congratulations to everyone who claimed their mango! I'm taking home number 9 today! Not quite a gazzillion, sweet Shanara, but the rate my losses are going, there will be a gazzillion of them by the time I'm done!

Hi Mette,

YAY! I finaly claimed a mango... now I can die happy

Though, I'm not sure I'll be in the next one (this one)... my Refeed is due to end on Sunday 21st... so all going well, I'll be doing the Maintenance thing on Xmas day, and not trying to score a mango

LOL

You're in, Chailee!

And Ruby, I think you should stay in the challenge and claim the second mango when you finish refeed successfully!

Count me in for the dancing mango. Shouldn't be hard as I have been deviation free the whole time since I joined. Does that mean I can add mangoes for that time or do you only get them if you have registered for a challenge.?
Michele

Purple Lady and Gorgeous one, you're both in for this challenge, provided of course that you have been d-free since Friday.

Purple Lady, all you have to do is stick to your program 100% and you will be able to claim a dancing mango of your very own at the end of the fortnight!

Gorgeous one, you only get mangos from the challenges you're registered in (and complete, of course). You can see the full rules and instructions here:

Question Hope I'm not too late!

Hi!
I'm new around here, but have been on Cohen for almost 6 weeks - deviation free for 5. I would love to earn a dancing mango... Is it ok if I still join the challenge? I promise I have not deviated since 5 weeks ago or Friday last.

Thankyou
Skinnykat
