At least 3 Target Gift Cards

LW 08 - Week 19

I’m up 3 pounds this week, but I’m not buying it.  I would really have to TRY to gain weight if I were to go up that much purely based on eating so something else is going on with my body.  I’m not too upset about it, but we’ll see how next week goes…
Must.  Enter.  [...]

But for the most part they are both doing really well. The only time Jacob argued with me about turning off the TV was the day that he watched more [...]

LW 08 - Week 18

I’m starting to notice a difference in my stamina, too, since I’ve started a walking routine.  I am finding that [...]
