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!

-Brett

I just wanted to say congratulations, that is a great accomplishment.  i just joined the site and am at the beginning of my journey -- it's inspiring to see what you've been able to do.  Congrats again, and thanks for posting.

wow!!!!! yes, this calls for a new screenname huh?

Wow you're looking good.  Your weight loss graph looks like the stock market!  It is very inspiring  to see and now I no longer feel like having a jam sandwich.  I see one of your interests is women - be careful what you wish for ha ha

Good work!  You look great.  :)  Yea!

WOW!!  You look fantastic! You are such an inspiration to all.  Did you do it alone, or did you have buddies that you worked out with? I'm amazed that you stayed motivated. 

You're no longer BigBrett. Gotta change the name.  All your hard work has paid off.  I'm so happy for you!

THAT is crazyyyyyyy!!!! 100 pounds in 6 months!!!!!  You are a very motivated, determined man!!!  WAY TO GO!!!  You are so awesome!  :D  

You'll make it to your goal in no time! 

I agree with the others, gotta change the screenname now! :D

MAMMA MIA!

you look fantastic! Noticed that men look younger when they lose weight? This doesn't happen to women all the times, I'm afraid

you are an inspiration and a role model for all of us, we really want to go there too!!!!

keep it up

Wow!! You look awesome!!  I'm getting up to the 80 pound loss mark.  It feels so much better to be healthy.  You must be so proud of yourself, as you should be.

 I know this is Brett's post and Brett, you look AMAZING!!

But wow, foreverme24 - you look GREAT too!!! Like a totally different person!

People on this site are such an amazing inspiration!

Congratulations and good luck to everyone!

I echo Danby's words to both Brett and foreverme!  You guys both look amazing, but I'm most impressed by the drive and willpower that it takes to get there.  It takes amazing determination to change your life in such a way-- you make us all proud!!!!  Thank you for the inspiration

Way to Go!  You look great!  And thanks for the inspiration.  And you're right, I don't think we all realize how much we are helping each other on CC.  So thanks to everyone for being here and staying strong!

Thanks for the compliments.  They are really appreciated, it keeps me motivated. 

You all are way too kind for all the nice words. It means a whole lot more coming from everyone here because you all know what I had to go through to do this. I read so many inspiring posts on here when I first started. So I figured that I would share my story in hopes that it might inspire others as well. We are a very tight community full of support and motivation. That is what I love about CC.

This site, and the help of everyone here, has changed my life. I will never be that old Brett that pretended to not care about his health because it was too hard to change. I will never be unhealthy and overweight again. I will never eat the complete crap that I used to eat. I am a changed man and I love the feeling. And I have all of you to thank for that. So......

THANKS!

p.s. - If I could change the screenname, I would. But I like keeping it. It's a reminder of what I was and what I never will be again.

Wow, you really look great. It is no small feat to loss 100 pounds ( I just hit that mark myself this morning). I know what you must have gone through and the struggles to get where you are now. You are a fighter. Great work.

great!

you know what - your thread helps build up this very community and think-tank/vault full of info and stories that is so helpful.

i felt quite bad as i have overeaten last night and am generally not doing so good these past weeks, but seeing this helps me get back on track

*heads off to get her daily walk*
