I have lost 48 pounds, simply because I got really sick (some kind of stomach flu) that lasted for a few months (never did find out what it was). The only reason I think I lost the weight I did was I simply wasn't hungry because I felt nauseated all the time. I am sooo glad I lost this weight! I have more to go. I agree, it feels soo good to wear regular sizes and my feet have gotten smaller too.olivia sewsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20350253.post-20805878006226753192011-07-17T15:00:02.168-04:002011-07-17T15:00:02.168-04:00I'm not into masking jackets, but that pattern...I'm not into masking jackets, but that pattern looks super easy, especially if you use a great fleece or sweatshirt knit.
