Negative People thanks for MOTIVATION!!!

I am human we all will mess up, some stay down but LaWonda will always get back up! Please keep all your negative messages to yourself. I have my ups and down like anyone else. The different between me and others(you) is that I will not give up on myself and goals. I am still on the Medifast program. I was not on it as strict(2 weeks) as I was because of personal issues but I am now back on track. I have lost over 200lbs in less than a year. I have weeks where I do not lose weight but that is life. I will just push myself harder. I will never go back to the way I was last March. I will reach my goal of 200-180(long term goal) So why you are focusing on sending me crazy messages, what are you doing to better yourself? LaWonda Cooper is doing GREAT!!! I will not let the BS that you are sending get me down. Please believe that when it comes to what I need to do to save me(because I was giving a second chance) I am a BEAST/SUPER WOMAN.(I'm still standing) So instead of sending me message join the band wagon and better yourself. I have lost weight(still losing), regain independence, got an degree in Psychology, still in school and have my own place. So my question to you is what are you doing with your life?(besides writing me) Please get some business about yourself; your life will be much better if you just focus on SELF. One thing I do know is I'm doing something right, for you all to be willing to waste time out your day just to write me crazy messages. Thanks for your motivation to keep doing what I am doing!!! (LOL) I love it!! Have a safe and blessed day!!!

61 days of Challenge left!!!

I have a 61 days of my 100 day challenge left, I had fallen off for a minute but I am back at it again. When you fall just get up dust yourself off and start again. I am having a lot of pain in my legs and they are really swollen right now but I have things that have to be done. I must get up and move move move daily!!! I've had ups and downs since starting the program but I never let it get the best of me. I know that I want to continue going in the right direction to having complete freedom from obesity and I will not go back to not being able to do for myself. I love being able to care for self and not depending on sister and mother to do everything for me. I still pushing and working hard to reach my goals of a healthier happier LaWonda Cooper. I know that is a lone road ahead and I am ready for that journey. I will continue to knock down the road blocks that get in my way.

I am still not feeling good but I will be back on it tomorrow. I am on day 12 of my challenge and I have not worked out in a few days because of pain.

NEVER GIVE UP!!!!!

YOU SHOULD NEVER GIVE UP ON THE THING THAT YOU REALLY WANT OR SHALL I SAY NEED TO DO IN LIFE. YEARS AGAO I WAS TOLD THAT I WOULD BE DEAD IN THE NEXT 2 TO 3 YEARS THAT WAS A LIE BECAUSE I AM HERE NOW. EVERYONE TURN THEIR BACKS ON ME FROM SO CALLED FRIENDS, FAMILY AND MY DOCTORS, I FELT ALL ALONE AND DID NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO. YEARS OF BEING STUCK IN MY HOUSE IN SEVERE PAIN WAS NOTHING BUT HELL I HAD NO PAIN PILLS BECAUSE MY DOCTOR WOULD NOT GIVE ME ANY. I NEVER GAVE UP BECAUSE I KNEW THE MOST HIGH WAS GOING TO MAKE A WAY FOR ME TO GET UP OUT OF THAT SITUATION. I KNEW HE WAS JUST TESTING MY FAITH. I SAID FATHER I KNOW THAT EVERYTHING WITH ME WILL BE OK BECAUSE YOU WILL NEVER JUST LEAVE ME LIKE THIS. OH YEAH THERE WAS A TIME THAT I FELT LIKE I WAS GOING TO DIE LIKE THAT BUT HE TOLD ME TO HANG IN THERE MY CHILD. BY GOD GRACES ON MARCH 17, 2010 I STARTED MEDIFAST AND IT REALLY WAS WHAT I NEEDED TO SAVE MY LIFE. HE GAVE ME A SECOND CHANCE AFTER PRAYING HARD ABOUT WHAT TO DO FATHER SHOULD I HAVE THAT GASTRIC OR LAP BAND SURGERY? OR FATHER JUST SHOW ME HOW I CAN DO IT WITHOUT ALL THAT THE NEXT MORNING EVERY TIME I TURNED ALL I SEEN WAS MEDIFAST. SO I STARTED AND I AM A NEW WOMAN NOW.I AM NOT GOING TO SAY IT WILL BE EASY BUT PLEASE TELL ME WHAT IN LIFE THAT IS GOOD COMES EASY. I AM STRICT ON MY PLAN THAT IS WHY I DO SO GOOD ON IT. I LOOK AT IT THAT I NEED TO LIVE BECAUSE I AM NOT READY TO DIE. I KNOW THERE ARE THINGS OUT THERE THAT I WANT TO OR NEED TO DO SO I KNOW WHAT I HAVE TO DO TO GET THERE. I AM NOW LOOKING TO GET MY OWN PLACE SO I CAN BE TRULY HAPPY THE WAY I WANT. I WORKING HARD TO GET MY INDEPENDENCE BACK. I AM NOW A HEALTH COACH WWW.LOSINGWEIGTWITHLAWONDA.TSFL.COM . I HAVE BEEN GOING THROUGH SOME ROUGH TIMES LATELY BUT I DID NOT LET BRING ME OFF OF MY FREAKING PLAN. THERE ARE SO MANY PEOPLE THAT ARE WAITING FOR ME TO FAIL ON THIS PLAN AND GO BACK TO WHERE I COME FROM BUT I WILL NOT LET THAT HAPPEN I WILL PROVE THEM ALL WRONG BECAUSE LAWONDA WILL NEVER GO BACK TO HOW IT USE TO BE I LOVE MY LIFE NOW AND I KNOW IT IS GETTING BETTER DAY BY DAY. I ALSO HAVE TO THINK ALL THE PEOPLE OUT THERE THAT IS SUPPORTING ME. YOU ALL REALLY HELP ME TO KEEP PUSHING THROUGH ALL THE BS THAT COMES MY WAY. I WILL CONTINUE TO BUST DOWN EVERY ROAD BLOCK THAT GETS INTO MY WAY BECAUSE I WILL SUCCEED IN EVERYTHING THAT I SET MY MIND ON IN LIFE. IF THERE ARE ANYONE OUT THERE LOOKING FOR SUPPORT OF THERE JOURNEY I AM HERE FOR YOU. I AM NOT LIKE MANY OF THE OTHER PEOPLE OUT THERE I AM WHO I AM AND NO IT DOES NOT COST YOU A THING TO TALK TO ME. THE REASON I SAY THAT WAS BECAUSE I HAVE HAD PEOPLE ASK ME QUESTIONS AND BE LIKE I DO NOT HAVE ANY MONEY TO PAY YOU FOR TALKING WITH ME.. I WAS LIKE WOW REALLY HOW CAN YOU CHARGE SOMEONE FOR JUST A CONVERSATION IM NOT THAT PERSON HELPING PEOPLE REALLY HELPS ME AND I WILL BE BLESSED FOR IT. I AM HERE FOR EVERYONE THAT NEEDS ME..ONCE GAIN NEVER GIVE UP BECAUSE I KNOW THAT IF I CAN DO SO CAN YOU AND I WILL BE THERE WITH YOU EVERY STEP OF THE WAY. LOVE YOU ALL BE BLESSED!!!
