I have a disability and was in a wheelchair for the longest time.  I have to use bilateral forearm crutches to get around with.  I have lost 73 lbs. by cutting back on my meals, cutting out salt and sugar, stopped drinking any type of soda including diet, I only drink water, I eat several small meals a day.  I cut out all dairy and breads.  I take a calcuim supplement.  Here is a sample of what I eat\n\nFor breakfast I will have 1/2 cup oatmeal and 2 egg whites (disgard the yoke)\n\nmidmorning snack I will have 2 oz. of chicken of fish and a piece of fruit\n\nLunch usually a salad with tuna or chicken and 1/2 baked potato\n\nmid afternoon snack 2 oz. chicken and a piece of fruit\n\ndinner 2 oz. baked fish (NO BUTTER) 2 cups of a veggie, 1/2 cup of mashed sweet potatoes\n\nafter dinner snack 2 oz. of chicken and ground frozen fruit with a dash of lemon juice.\n\nI have cut out all oils and fats as well.  I have lost these 73 lbs since mid July.  I don't take any diet supplements.  I eat a lot of fish, chicken breast, turkey breast, lean beef, and lean pork.  I also have egg whites.  I hope this helps because it does work.

The same way everyone else does, but it would be hard for him to do so since he has a perfect metabolism. He could eat all day and not gain an ounce!\n\nAlthough, if he really needed to loose the weigh, I guess he would just get a pensile and redraw himself. (Sorry, I couldn’t resist.)

It depends on your age and the extent to which you are immobilized.  Ask your doctor and/or your physical therapist for advice.\n\nGet well soon!

You will want to contact a shop that does conversions on vans for the disabled. They should be able to take out the driver seat and hopefully your chair can navigate into that area and they fix it how you need it. Pay attention to how the door/ramp opens on your vehicle and how that affects your navigation.

sorry, i'm too old for you, but wheelchairs don't make the person. wheelchairs just means life is lived differently. a quality woman would see you for your great personality, your confidence, and your sincerity. work on being the best you there is and you won't have problems wondering if anyone would go out with you. take care. :)

The best way to loose the weight and stay at that weight is by eating right.\n\nEating right means 5 meals:\n1 breakfast that can be cereal with fruits\n1 mid morning snack (Fruits, yougurt)\n1 Lunch, including vegetables, one portion of carbs and protein (meats)\n1 mid afternoon snack. Fruits\n1 Dinner, dinner cannot have carbs, the best way here is with vegetables, and protein.\n\nAlso very important, must drink water (8 glaseses), sodas does not count and should avoid them.\n\nExercise is important, 3 times a week, low impact, walk is better.\n\nThe body by itself will loose the body fat and it will mantain a healthy weight.

well, that's prolly the hardest place for you to loose it from and the first place it piles on.\n\nBasically, it's diet, exercise, and time.  You may want to see a trainer for some specifc things you can do.

Expect it to take 2-3 months to loose that much weight.  Be sure that you actually need to loose that much weight by discussing the issue with your physician.  Then find an exercise routine you can stick to and eat a healthy diet low in fat and high in fruits and vegetables.  Eat low fat meats and fish.  Drink lots of water.\n\nYou'll only loose weight if you burn more calories than you take in.

Loosing weight is simply calorie loss greater than calorie intake.  To loss weight requires more than just dieting since the body will compensate for a decrease in food intake by slowing your metabolism.  To truly loss weight, you need to reduce food intake and speed up your metabolism.  Food intake is pretty straight forward.  However, since you can not do any weight bearing exercises, you need to find some aerobic exercises which do not involve the legs.  You can try an exercise rowing machine, where your legs are immobilize and your upper body does all the work.  In addition, there is an arm pedaling machine; it is pretty much like pedaling a bicycle but you use your arms instead.  Granted, it would be better if you could use your legs but these and other aerobic exercises which involve the upper body will still help you loss weight.  Do you have a gym membership?  Most of these machines are available in your typical gym.  If not then now is a good time to get one.

He can do wheelchair push ups, and use free weights to do bicep & tricep curls, shoulder exercises too, possibly push ups, and as far as six pack stomach depends on his injury as to why he is in the wheelchair in the first place as to what muscles are still  functional .  Need more info. for that sorry.

Find a place to do it supervised. It is a lot of weight in a short time. I would see a doctor first and check what you need to look at, and get checked while loosing weight.\nYou want to stay healthy, don't you?
