    hi my name is tami im 39 years old ... been in a wheelchair for 19 years ... i have a a wonderful hubby and 2 wonderful boys!!! would love to make some friends on here to get support and give support!! :smile:
  • HELLO, I'M NIKKJ3PLAYER4, A FRIEND JUST INVITED ME TO JOIN TODAY. I'VE STARTED EATING GREEK YOGURT TWICE A DAY. 1 FOR BEAKFAST ALONG WITH A PIECE OF FRUIT. A SALAD FOR LUNCH CONSISTING OF YELLOW SQUASH OR ZUC. INSTEAD OF LETTUCE ALONG WITH LOWFAT TURKEY FOR MY PROTIEN OR A LARGE SCOOP OF PREPARED TUNA IN THE CAN( MAYO,ONION,RELISH, CELERY,MUSTARD,SALT AND PEPPER), ALONG WITH ALL THE SALAD FIXING YOU WANT TO ADD. LETTUCE HAS NO NUTRITITIONAL VALUE. FOR A SNACK I WOULD HAVE ANOTHER GREEK YOGURT. I LIKE CHOBANI(1.59), BUT I'VE FOUND THAT FOOD LION HAVE ONE THAT THEY MAKE CALLED "SWEET INSPIRATIONS" AN IT ONLY COST .89. I LOVE IT. IT'S VERY SMOOTH AND FULL OF PROTIEN ABOUT 16GRAMS. AND I EAT DINNER BEFORE 7PM. I'M A DIABETIC SO I DRINK A BIG GLASS OF MILK BEFORE GOING TO BED. I WAS WEIGHING 216 BUT 30 DAYS LATER WHEN I WENT TO MY DR, FOR A FOLLOW UP, I WAS DOWN TO 209. I WASN'T TRYING TO LOOSE WEIGHT BUT JUST ADDING THE GREEK YOGURT AS A MEAL REPLACEMENT SOMEHOW CHANGED THINGS. MY SON WAS IN A WHEELCHAIR FOR 6 MONTHS AND THE DR.S GAVE HIM AN EXCERISE BAND TO USE. IT WAS A THICK PIECE OF RUBBER FOR HIM TO STRETCH DURING HIS EXCERISES. HE SEEMED TO LOOSE WEIGHT SLOWLY AND WE ADJUSTED HIS EATING.
    I CAN UNDERSTAND HOW HARD IT IS TO LOOSE WEIGHT NOT BEING AS MOBILE AS YOU WOULD LIKE, BUT I HOPE THIS HELPS A LITTLE. YOUR NEW FRIEND. PS. I JUST GOT "WALK AT HOME' AND "TAKE IT OFF WITH MITCH" WISH ME LUCK.

    Hi Tami
    I'm not sure I know what exercises you can do, but maybe I could find out as I have a friend who is in a wheelchair for two years. But I would be glad to just be friends and encourage eachother.
