I am sure you would like to know a little bit about me and how this site came to exist, right? Well I will try to do just that…..

My name is Megan and I was born and raised in Gatineau, Quebec. My dad is a great father and my mom, who passed away when I was 16, was an awesome mother. I lead a regular life like anyone, I go out to karaoke, see the occasional band, hang out with friends etc, but I grew to just love the junk food and I am trying to change that and could use all the support I can get.

I do not place the blame for my weight on anyone but myself. I have been a very big girl my entire life and have tried more times than I can count to lose weight only to gain it all back and more.  It is hard to lose weight, but it is even harder to be FAT!  Even though I got here by myself, I realized I cannot get to where I want to be on my own…which brings me to creating this site!

A few years ago, my friend’s sister had a goal to make a million dollars in one year. She made a site called MyMillionDollarYear.net where she would blog about her progress and what she did to accumulate the money.  I thought of her site and her goal and decided I would make it a goal to lose 100 pounds in a year, and thus was born My100PoundYear.com! I will be 100lbs lighter on October 7, 2010….the day I turn 36!

I hope that you will be inspired to join me in my journey, and keep up with my progress in my blog as well as offer moral support and encouragement to keep me motivated.  Gym memberships, exercise equipment, workout clothes, a new wardrobe as I lose weight and being able to afford healthy food choices will all help me reach my goal.  I would love it if you are willing to make a donation in any amount to help me purchase them and keep me on the right path.   Every little bit helps!

Thank you for helping me make this my best year ever!
