Oddly, what speaks to me the most is your chair. It looks like you began with an automatic and are currently in a more...analog chair..sorry, I don't know the real names. That is awesome!
this is exactly what I was thinking. What you have done is shown that the excuse of 'I can't exercise' (which my disabled sister uses) is no barrier at all to losing weight. You've done brilliantly and look so immensely happy!! Congratulations on your impending wedding. Keep at it.

Yes! That was a huge part of getting more active. Lots of people just can't use a manual chair, for loads of reasons. I couldn't have used one at the start either. I started using a big manual chair that had power support wheels on, and that was the perfect transition to using manual wheels all the time. There are often periods of illness when I just can't manage it though, so it's a balance every day. I just move as much as I can each day. Food was the biggest element for the weight loss. I am not an average woman, 1500cals is above my maintance so I had to think really carefully about how to eat the most for 1200. Now I'm working out more I'll be slowly adding calories.
Thank you for all being so supportive! x

I am glad to see, my 21yr old daughter which is wheelchair bound since 2013 because of failed back surgery has ballooned up in weight because of her situation, and she has been trying to lose weight. What types of exercises are you doing?0
