"Chelsea Settles" is a twelve part documentary series on MTV that aired on Tuesday, October 11, 2011. This show focused on 23-year-old girl Chelsea Settles' weight loss journey. Settles is originally from Pennsylvania, and had dreamed of pursuing her passion for fashion in Los Angeles, California. However she struggled to fit into the fashion world because of her weight. At the beginning of her journey she weighed 324 pounds. The show focused on her journey of growing physically and mentally–not necessarily on how many pounds she lost on the scale. Her ultimate goal was to be able to feel healthy and happy, while being able to pursue her dreams. Settles made her weight-loss dream become a reality through exercise and healthy eating which consisted of high protein and veggie filled meals.

As Settle's made the difficult decision to move to Los Angeles, she left behind her severely diabetic mother who has been in need of kidney and pancreas transplants, as well as her boyfriend who desires more for Settles to follow in his path rather than hers. Settle's has encountered many obstacles and struggles during her lifetime; by moving to Los Angeles it gives her an opportunity to not only start a career in the fashion world, but to also expand her life by confronting the "social phobias" that have held her back in her past.
