What is the difference between whole grain and 100% whole wheat. About 2 weeks ago i made the transition from wheat to 100% whole wheat. Should i be eating Whole grain instead? I thought i would hate the taste of wheat bread itself but it actually fills me up better than what white bread would ever do!

Whole wheat means that they don't refine then enrich the wheat before it gets made into the bread. I.e., you retain the natural nutrients in the grain.
Whole grain is like whole wheat, but not *necessarily* limited to the wheat (there are other grains in the bread. This tends to make it more gritty, but more flavorful too). Sometimes, however, they put whole grain and it does just mean whole wheat.
My personal favorite is multi-grain, which is whole grain with an assurance of multiple sources of whole food. These tend to absorb better and have a variety of nutrients not present in just whole wheat.
