Default 100% Cohens Challenge Fri 8/1 - Thur 21/1

Hello mango challengers!
I can't believe how fast time is flying! Seems like only yesterday I opened the last challenge, but that was last year!
I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday and that you're all ready for the challenges of 2010 - the mangos must dance!

The list for this fortnight:

Belnatjas
Miss_nat
Ladybird
Cobie_lee
Lil_doll
Harriet Vane
Corbyns mum
Gremlin

Stay strong and keep smiling, everyone!

"BUDGIE" @#!$%
I didn't realise the challenge was starting y'day and I deviated y'day - see diary tought emotional time.......). Can I make my fortnight start today and go a day longer (9th???).
I'll understand if its a "no" but the mango is enticing.

I'm sorry sweety, but no. Because the challenge starts every fortnight on the same day, it's too hard to manage unless the rules are followed.
You will make it next fortnight though!

Yay, my first mango challenge!! I'm very excited and determined to achieve one of those little guys.

Thought I'd share a d-free story from sat night (it feels like bragging but really it's sharing success stories right?)... I went to festival first night in Sydney with several friends who instead of spending most of their time watching the free entertainment, fell in to doing a pub crawl. Fun for me - not! One diet coke and two waters later, we finally headed over to the domain which was INSANE! So many thousands of people. My boyf got in the queue to get pies from a Harry's Cafe stall and I got in the bar queue to get the others drinks. Fifty minutes later, we sat down with their pies and wine to watch the Al Green whilst I drank (more) water and ate crackers and an apple. I didn't even feel tempted to accept their offer of "a bite" or "a sip"

My reward for being so good? Watching them get boozed and act stupid (nice to know that they're as silly as I am when I'm drunk which I don't usually notice because I'm drunk too!) and a 600g loss on the scales the next morning.

BTW.. I did eat dinner when we got home - at 11.45pm! I was STARVING!

Gremlin, there you go dearest, I was getting worried you had forgotten about me!

Miss_Nat,
The more stories you - and everyone else - post like that, the better! It's inspirational, and it helps others to stay strong!

Please, everyone feel free to share any victories here, however big or small they may seem! We encourage tall poppies here!

Hi All,

I'm so sad. I'm out of this challenge. I deviated yesterday by accidently by eating an extra (and here's the irony) mango!

I did the mango yoghurt smoothie for breakfast yesterday for the first time and completely forgot I'd already had that piece of fruit when I ate a mango after dinner last night I'm not sure I would have even realised that I'd done it if my boyfriend hadn't commented. Oh well, it'll just make me more determined for the challenge starting on 22nd.

Hope everyone else goes really well!

Cheers,
miss_nat

Hi miss-nat

I thought we are allowed 2 fruit a day unless your program is different so if that the case you didn't deviate cause one for breaky and one after dinner is only 2 serves of fruit

Hiya CM,

Yes, I am allowed two pieces of fruit but I'd had an apple for morning tea as well, so unfortunately it was a deviation. I haven't made that mistake again!

Well a new challenge starts this Friday which I am definitely keen for, so I have another chance to get my mangoes

Cheers,
miss_nat

Oh Maria, I have a very big foot (virtually speaking, of course)

Emjay, you've signed up, that's all you need to do for now - and stay d-free of course. The rules for this challenge are in the sticky in the main challenge thread.

Opening the new challenge now, guys!
