Need some support in this crazy awesome journey.

Hello My name is Chelsea, and i am looking for some support in my journey. I apologize for the long intro, but i think its necessary.

I have been on here about a month, but i have gotten pretty serious about losing weight in the last 2 or 3 months.

I have always thought i was "healthy". I thought because i only ate one meal a day (a very huge...HUGE meal a day) that i was eating well. I decided to go vegetarian (its actually pescitarian since i just don't eat meat) back in August of 2010. Why you ask? Because i did not think i could do it and i felt a little bit like a hypocrite when i would cry over animals being abused/tortured while i was sitting down to a tasty steak. So i signed up for a 30 day pledge - 3 years later almost and I have no intentions of going back (no matter what anyone says so dont try!!)

Lets backup. I have always been chubby - the bigger girl - and have always been called cute (ugh!). By 2009 (my wedding) I was up to 180lbs. Between 2010 and May of this year I have dropped to 165lbs just from the change in my diet to being vegetarian. I changed nothing else. I still only ate one meal a day, didn't work out and ate nothing but processed food.

Well in May of this Year i had had enough. Something in my brain clicked. I am tired of crying every time i have to go shopping for clothes. I am tired of living in hooded sweatshirts. I am tired of not wanting to go anywhere because i think i look "fat". I am tired of not being able to live life.

I am now working out between 4-6 days a week. I walk during my breaks at work and alternate between Jillian Michaels Killer Abs and Jillian Michaels Ripped in 30 (i would like to do insanity one of these days ). I started C25k about a month ago and got up to week five and sprained my ankle .

I also volunteer at the Humane Society and walk dogs on the weekends - free exercise for both of me and the dogs we both deserve it very much!

As of today I am down from my starting weight on MFP of 165lbs to 152lbs. My first goal is to get to 150lbs (2 more to go!) as i have not been that low since i started my job in 2007. My next goal is to get to a weight that I am comfortable at (Maybe 140/130?)

Anyone that is interested in helping me through this journey please feel free to friend me. I would also love to encourage some people along the way as well!
