Thanks for the help guys!!!
Before I got a chance to read your answer Arnaud, I came up with the
below. Seems to work also. Yours is easier :).
print "We need to count to 100"
high_number = 100
sum = 0
sum += input("Enter your first number ")
print sum
while sum < high_number:
print "Not there yet..."
sum += input("Enter another number ")
print sum
print "We are there!!!"
