Cheeseburgh Β Β 3,080 Posted September 30, 2019 This is my favorite sweater, Iβve had it for years and itβs a bit big now but I donβt mind. Unlike most people here I am always hot (temperature wise) so I canβt handle thick sweaters. 1 1 GreenTealael and Sheribear68 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

seaforest Β Β 562 Posted October 1, 2019 1. My goal is to get into onederlandβ¦.(no joy this morning) and then beyond. Mostly, I'm loving how fit I feel and I want to keep that going. Oh yes, working on lowering that BMI. Continue my yoga teacher training and gym. 2. Sleeve on 12/12/18. Still losing...slowly but surely. Current weight is 200.2 and BMI of 37. 3. Anywhere abs. 4. Right now, I don't know what sweater fits me so not sure of my favorite. I haven't gotten them out of summer storage yet. Will have to update this one later. 2 Sheribear68 and GreenTealael reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
