100

I started this journey with over a hundred pounds to lose. This is the one hundredth post for this blog and if I live to be a century old, I know that the list that follows will still be valid and will help me maintain the weight that I am currently working towards. I am recording here a hundred reasons for creating the healthier lifestyle that I yearn to achieve. A little more than one hundred days before starting this online journal I weighed the heaviest I ever have, but every one of these motivators has helped during that time to get me onto a better path. I will do this!

  1. Hey girl! Awesome loss this week and excellent list! I just got your comment on my blog...no, lol, sorry, that's not why I was asking...and you weren't abrupt at all.

    I was just asking because right under your name, she listed Shmologna at Me vs. the Buffet, and I was wondering if she got you 2 confused, because Shmologna's name is Brittany, too....that's all! I didn't know I had 2 friends now named Brittany!! Hope you're having a great weekend...you must be with that killer weigh-in!! :)

  6. Great post. A lot to think about. I'll trying to edit that post so it doesn't say Brittany. Sorry, sorry, sorry. Just a mistake. Didn't mean to cause so much drama!
