Both Pete and I have lost weight! I bought Pete a housecoat about a month ago, and he was unable to close it all the way and tie it up. He now can close it and the "end" of the housecoat, goes almost to his one hip!!! I hope this is not confusing. If so, quickly go try on your housecoat, and you'll know what I mean. We are not sure how many pounds he's lost, but his clothes are getting looser! Way to go Pete! I'm losing weight on the "chemo diet". LOL! Not recommended, but I don't really have an option :) So, YAY for us!
