I ended up ripping out the sweater I was making for myself. It was coming out too big. I knew it was going to be a little bigger because of my gauge but it would have been way too big. I debated making the back a smaller size but the ribbing wouldn't have matched up and I decided to start it over at a later date. Losing weight is good but this sweater would have been too big. Now I may get to make a medium which is way cool as I would never fit in a medium but the finished measurements for this sweater would work out fine with my gauge and a medium size. So, I cast on the fronts of my mothers cardigan and am working on the lace bottom portion of that.
