NanceXToo Posted March 11, 2012 Author Share Posted March 11, 2012 (edited) So, remember this post? Just wanted to come back again and say that as of this morning, I'm now down 45.2 lbs total!! I have gone from 247.6 lbs to 202.4 lbs. I'm happy about the 45 lbs, but I'm getting SO antsy to be out of these 200's already. It's been several YEARS since I've seen a 1 in front of my number instead of a 2 on the scale!!! Just 2 1/2 more lbs... I cannot wait! By the way I checked that Weight Loss Conversion chart to see if 45 lbs was a special milestone and saw that 45 isn't, but 44 was....I had lost an elephant's heart with 44. A heart is okay but I want the penis, darn it! :lol: How's everyone else doing? Edited March 11, 2012 by NanceXToo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susan in TN Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 (edited) Way to Go!:hurray: I'm up to: an average human leg and a rack of baby back ribs I'm aiming for at least another: chemical additives an American consumes each year Which will bring me to my goal of a 5000 BTU air conditioner :).

thescrappyhomeschooler Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 Wow! Good for you! I really need to get my butt in gear. I could stand to lose a microwave or two! You're great inspiration! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Classical Country Mama Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 Nance, why didn't you attach a pic of yourself holding an elephant's heart? :confused: :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nukeswife Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 Since my last reply I'd gotten up to a human brain lost (luckily it isn't my own:lol:) then I gained back a guinea pig and then lost him again. So I'm still at the human brain, but I hope to get back on the wagon again, now that we're not all sick. The warmer weather will help too, as I'll be able to get out more with the kids.

NanceXToo Posted March 11, 2012 Author Share Posted March 11, 2012 Nance, why didn't you attach a pic of yourself holding an elephant's heart? :confused: :D Funny you should mention that. I'm taking the kids to the circus today. (Not joking). They'll be riding an elephant while we're there before or after the circus. I am SO going to be having odd thoughts about that elephant. :lol::lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YOU DID IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and you're gonna go ALL THE WAY!!!!!!!! And who knows, one day you might just be the sparkly lady sitting in its trunk. :D I don't think that will ever happen, although I do think my daughter is currently starry-eyed and plotting on how to run away and join the circus since she's discovered that I don't think it is reasonable or realistic for us to sign her up and travel together as a family so she can be a circus performer lol. I told her she can try to marry someone in the circus and have circus babies and that way they can be a circus family and all travel together when she's an adult but that it's not going to happen now. She didn't love my answer. :confused: (She did seem over it in the car on the way home, though, when she moved on to her next big dream of convincing me to take her to Hoboken so she can meet her idol Buddy Valastro of Cake Boss and order a cake from him, even though that's a five hour round trip, and even though I said he's probably pretty busy and famous now and doesn't come out to say "hi" to every person who walks in looking for him, assuming he's even there. She said if we went for a consultation, like for an Easter cake, he would meet with us. I had to point out the obvious which is that 1) we don't celebrate Easter and 2) he does consultations for really BIG cakes and we have a really smallllll family, and 3) his specialty cakes are probably ridiculously expensive... I'm really starting to feel guilty about destroying all of her dreams here!...We did look up his cake shop address and let her write him a letter last night though, so Buddy will be getting fan mail from my daughter (most 11 year old girls want to write to Justin Bieber, mine wants to write to Buddy Valastro LOL. She gave him her email address, I wonder if he'll ever email her). Maybe for a special occasion some time I'll coincide a visit to my aunt's house in NJ with a visit to that bakery so she can get something from there. I highly doubt she'll see Buddy but maybe she'd recognize somebody she's seen on the show, and she'd get to taste something from the bakery, she'd get a kick out of it. We'll see! On the bright side, the scale said 201.8 this morning, so I'm even CLOSER to being out of the 200's!!! Can.Not.Wait!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My dh's neice has indeed "run away to join the circus". After getting a degree in engineering, she moved to Austrailia to attend NICA "circus school) - training in aerial acrobatics (ala Cirque du Soleil). Dreams do come true :D.
