Hi, hope I'm not stepping on any toes by starting this thread. Had a quick look and various cohenites are interested I think.

I would like to join if not too late please.... Haven't done any challenges yet!

[Never Give Up]

Hi hayzey, yes you can join, just have to be deviation Free since Monday. I'll try to post the rules into your diary tomorrow, won't have power for most of the day here, so maybe in the evening,
Have a great week
Lesley

[Hayzy]

Thanks Lesley! (have been deviation free)

[toothfairy]

Being deviation free is actually harder than I thought. So many times I have almost but not quiet put something little, left over etc up to my mouth. Suddenly I see these dancing Mango's which remind me.
Day 3 and so far so good but the mental focus is switched to high alert all the time. Full on motivation. Hope everyone else is successful so far.

[JTB]

Im brand new too, had my first weigh in this morning . Is it ok to join in?

[Never Give Up]

Hi JTB - I think you can....you need to have been deviation free since Monday - did you start the program today? If it was monday, you're in. If not, I'll be running another one the next fortnight

have a great week,

Lesley

PS The rules are below:-

Rules and instructions for the Mango Challenge
We've put together a list of the rules and the instructions on how to add mangos to your signature, so you don't have to spend so much time looking for them!

Rules:

We are going for 14 days deviation free
Mangoes are to be added at the end of each fortnight
Anyone can join at any time, but for new participants, more than 4 days after the beginning of the challenge and you will need to wait till the next one starts. Those who have been in the previous challenge can join after the 4 day period (unless, of course, they have deviated)
If you join after the start date, you still have to have been d-free since the official start of the challenge to be eligible
You can only use mangos in your signature if you are part of the mango challenge and have confirmed the d-free fortnight (Anyone who uses them without this will have their whole sig deleted)
If you earn five or more mangos, please only have one in your signature and the number, for example x 5
Deviate once and you’re out for the fortnight
Deviate again and you lose all your mangoes
HOW TO ADD MANGOES TO YOUR SIG

copy'n'paste the next line into your Sig to get your first "mango" dancing.

[color=purple@] 100% Cohens Challenge DEVIATION FREE: :mango@: x1 [/color]

After pasting that in your sig, delete the @ symbols (2 of them) then Save your profile. After that, simply edit the "x1" bit in your Sig as you complete each new challenge.

It should end up looking like this: 100% Cohens Challenge DEVIATION FREE: x1

(To get to your signature, first click "UserCP" at top right of any page - then look left for "Edit Signature" - click that, then paste the copied line - above - into your sig as the last line, get rid of those @'s, then go to "Save Signature" and click it - you're done) - Koh.

[Never Give Up]

JTB, have you thought of starting up a diary? it's easier to track ppl that way...there is a post for it on the control panel I think.

have a nice evening!
Lesley

[Never Give Up]

So how are we all travelling people? This is the amended list (late I know)

Toothfairy
Jozilicious
Odette79
Myf
JayCee
Evince
Lesley (NGU aka me! )
Singmealullabyy
Hayzy
JTB
The challenge has got me over the line several times this last few days, hope you are all going well with it.
Just to let you know....I will run a mango challenge until the end of this month, sort of concurrent with the Deviation Free December one I suppose. Not everyone may feel they can commit to the whole month
Have a great week 2!

[toothfairy]

So far so good, well actually great. Had a few crazy days but haven't deviated yet. It's been harder than I thought and hasn't got easier through the week. Weigh in tomorrow (week 1) looking forward to posting my loss on this site. It's got to be good. Hope everyone else if going ok. I've learnt heaps this past week and the most important thing is to plan and prepare in advance. So the 2 P's are my strength. Plan and Prepare. Saved me time and time again .
