100 POUNDS LOST! I feel I must share.

Well I have done it. I have lost 100 pounds!!!!

I started this journey on December 17th, 2007 and have not looked back. Here I stand 100 pounds lighter. I feel great and I just wanted to share it with all of you. This site and all of you have helped in ways you don't even know you have. I thank you all and I owe my new life to you.

I posted a before and after picture for everyone to see. I am only 35 pounds away from my ultimate goal and it feels awesome.

I guess that is all for now. THANKS AGAIN!

Whoa!  I read your journal!  You look fantastic!  How did you do it?

You do realize there is one major problem your weightloss has caused...

... you're no longer Big Brett... you need a new screenname.  Congrats  : )

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!

That is amazing. You look like a different person. Wow! Good job!!!!

That's AWESOME Brett...  You look fantastic and I bet you feel great too.

Most Excellent!!!

WOW!  Congratulations!  You are really an inspiration to us all!  You look fantastic!

I have to echo everyone else! You look AMAZING! Great job!!!!!!!!!!

I 14th those sentiments - you look amazing! I read in your last journal entry you said it doesn't seem real....I so want to be where you are now, wondering how it can be that me, who had always been a Big Girl, is now a regular-sized person? Jeeeeealousssss ;)

Congrats! Your change is absolutely amazing and inspiring!!! Thank you so much for sharing! now you can be "BuffBrett22"

I'm totally with victoriagirl on this one.  I want to be where you are now.  I think it's the before and after pics like yours that really motivate me that I can do it too.  You look fabulous!

You lost 100 pounds in 6 months? That's intense

I thank you all for your kind words. It really means a lot.

Haley_2008 - No real secrets. Just counting my calories, exercising like crazy, and staying super motivated. I don't really know how I stayed on track this whole time, but I did. It just really clicked for me this time.

milwaukeegal - Thank you very much. I just stuck to my plan. I made a chart with a weekly goal and tried my best to match it every week. I am currently about a month ahead of schedule, so things are going really good.

victoriagirl - It's so true, it doesn't seem real. Like I still feel like the 320 pound Brett inside. I am even shocked when I look at my current picture. I know I am 100 pounds lighter when I get on that treadmill or when I get in and out of my car. The simple things in life that used to be difficult are now easier. I love it! You will get there someday, I know it.

jackattack07 - Yeah, it was intense. I didn't really plan on losing it this quickly. I know it's not the healthiest way to do it, but I really feel that I'm doing great. I feel good and I am healthier than I ever have been.

I really hope to be an inspiration to anyone out there. That is even more important than me doing well and being healthy. If it gets just one person to get off their butt and get healthy, then I am happy. Thank you guys again.

Oh, you look so ADORABLE!

I love that cute little beard you got going.

Have a great day!!!
