    I am a recent amputee and trying to lose weight from the comfort of my wheelchair. With using the wheelchair I give my upper body a workout, but I've cut down on portion sizes and I am aiming to lose a half ound a week for a year. I best exercise I found because of it's wheelchair accessibility is the Skierg from Concept2. Google it. It works for me; from doing only a few minutes when I'm unwell after dialysis or a whiole intense 45 minute session when I'm feeling like I maybe should not have had the beef curry with fried rice the night before :)
    All the best in your endeavour, be paitent with your self.

    Hi Thanks for this. I'm a recent wheelchair user eho also is on dialysis so really struggling to lose weight and not gain! I've tried cutting portions and doing bit more physical exercise but so tired all the time. I'm gonna look up that site. Thanks
