Hi Lisa and Everybody,
I've been MIA as well... sorry. In the mean time, I've gained and lost weight... got divorced... moved twice and am now about to take my board exams and start my last 2 years of medical school... WOOHOO!
So, anyway, I would like to get back on-board with MFP and the September challenge and hopefully be included on the next one? Has anybody picked a date for that one? Christmas, New Years? I have about 30-35 more pounds to lose, but am glad that I've been able to at least mostly maintain in my absence.
So,
Highest weight: 208
SW with MFP: 195
GW: 125-130, I'm 5'4"
CW: 160
Catch up with you on Monday? Granted, I don't think this number will change much, but who knows!
Thanks again!

Actually made it down to 165.8 on friday, but then had a bad weekend. I was up over 170 at one point, so I will take 167.4. Why is it that it takes forever to lose it, but it only takes 1-2 days to gain it. I know its mostly water weight, but it is still a week lost.0 -

Goal met! Let's see how far I can get by the end of August. My body has been changing rapidly for a few weeks with little movement on the scale, so I'm expecting a big drop at some point soon...I hope!

How are you?
: )
It's been a long hot summer. And I have had NO motivation. Between classes (finished my masters degree) and vacation I did a BAD job of keeping track of my food. Rather than losing this summer, I have managed to gain 4 lbs and then lose 1 of those. School starts back up on Monday, so hopefully with getting back to a routine I will be able to start losing again.
How have you been?0 -
Well, it's been a little chaotic on my end as well. I've been up and down on the scale, moved twice, studying for board exams, got a concussion and that ended all physical activity for a couple of months, got divorced, so, I completely understand having to put some things on hold for a while! Hence, I'm just now coming back. : )
I hope things will fall into place for you and a routine will help make things feel less chaotic so you are able to focus on yourself again. : )
Shall we do a New Years or Christmas challenge? I'm not tech savvy or I'd offer to "host" it. I'm just dreaming of the day when I'm no longer considered over-weight! I remember how exciting it was when I was no longer categorized as "obese" on the BMI!
Let me know if I can do anything for you b/c you have been an inspiration to me in that no matter what, you're on here.
Thanks,
Chelsea.0 -

{hugs} Thank you! It's so easy to get discouraged. I've bounced around 165 (+/- 3 lbs) for just over a year now. I get so frustrated with myself, but then I remember that I have MAINTAINED approx 165 lbs for OVER A YEAR! Considering that I started at over 200 lb, this is no small feat. It's not where I want to be eventually, but it's a huge step in the right direction. Just gotta get my head back in the game. We can do this!
I will volunteer to start a New Year challenge once this one ends. I will do a better job this time around, I promise!0 -

I did a lot of hard biking this week (well, hard for me anyway... can't keep up with those guys that fly by at 20-something miles an hour), and while I'm glad I lost almost a pound, I look in the mirror and see a lot stronger legs and arms. It could all be in my head, but I know that I have ridden some hills that I didn't know if I could do it or not, but decided to try anyways and did it! I told this to my son in the hopes that it would encourage him to try things and push himself. We shouldn't let the uncertainty of whether or not we can do something keep us from trying! Right? I almost wrote, "we shouldn't let the uncertainty of whether or not we succeed....", but if you don't even try, you've already given into failure, and if you at least try, you've already succeeded whether you finish it that day, or the next day, or week, or year... it's all a process, as we all know!
Ok, I'll get off my soapbox! Hope you guys have a GREAT week!!! Hope you all find your own little successes this week!
Chelsea.

Hi Guys,
So, I was reading a post by a lady who put her goals in writing and how it was scary initially b/c she didn't know if she could do it or not... well, I have my big end goal, but I thought I should do some mini-goals so, I'm posting it here for accountability and motivation for myself... you don't have to read these if you don't want to, but if you do, feel free to remind me:
WEIGHT GOALS:
First week of Nov: 145lbs... healthy BMI
Second week in January... 135lbs... this is a weight goal for me. I have 125 as my final goal, but that might be too skinny depending on the muscle mass I'm carrying.
First week in April: 125lbs.
FITNESS GOALS:
Rehabilitate my shoulders in order to start KAYAKING next summer
Rehab my 1st MTP joint so I can run and rock climb.
Build my core: very essential in kayaking and pretty much any sport!
Triathlon next summer
LIFE GOALS:
Be the best mom I can be for my son, even if I'm tired.
Pass the board exams
Pass my shelf exams on rotations
Graduate
Residency
Out of debt 5 years after residency
Go over to South America and work for peanuts0 -

<---- So, I went to the mall in search of workout clothes and saw this dress on clearence for $17 and decided to try it on just for the hell of it.. Size 12p and currently sitting in my closet!
Also, I've decided 2 things. After this month is over I'm only going to weigh in about 2x a month, so I may or may not post much if there's a new challenge for us. And....The second...
I'M TRAINING FOR A HALF-MARATHON!! :drinker:
Am I nervous? Sure! But I have a plan and I've got this! Here's my blog on it if anyone cares to read it:
