Im a wheelchair user and have azul as a friend :) ive added you as my friend. Lost 3 stone so far this year and its hard going. I am a below knee amputee, also have chronic pain and osteoarthritus. I take lots of meds and life is generally pretty difficult, although Im beginning to feel a little better as I lose the weight.

Im obese. Im also wheelchair bound and have lots of medical issues. My dad told me if I didnt lose weight I wouldnt be alive to see my son grow up (I was around 250lbs). I cried for days. It didnt actually spur me on to lose weight either, it just made me want to avoid him! This year I have lost over 30lbs so far and have…

My husband has lost 100lbs since we got our springer spaniels, and has sustained it for 18 months so far :smile:

Thankyou all

While im here, once I can manage to hold it for a full 30 seconds, what would you recommend as the next step on from a plank-sideways on? Also are there any big no nos I should be avoiding? Dont want to hurt myself.

I feel more bulky and uncomfortable in the run up to A.F. Either that or your pregnant. Or you need re measuring and a new bra.

Hi Dramaqueen. I have lots of health issues too (although different to yours), and some days are so hard. I am on day 40, and 18lbs down. Im in a wheelchair and have probs with chronic pain, ibs arthritus and some other issues too. It is hard. Every day is hard, im not going to lie to you. But after a few weeks I found I…

For those of us in the u.k, mars bar ice creams-140 cals a bar....yummy!

So i can walk again. Im an amputee and am finding being big puts too much pressure on all my joints.

I use fitness blender on you tube, lots and lots of free vids :)

Im in a wheelchair and have set my goals to sedentary. Obviously there is no walking at all for me! My cals are set at 1450 and atm I am steadily losing, with around 30 mins of yoga light weight lifting every other day, which I do add to my excercise. Im wondering as I get closer to my goal (way to go yet) will i need to…

Realise I may not have actually answered the question OP-sorry!

Hi everybody. This is my second post on MFP. Its great reading everyones stories. Chronic pain feels so isolating at times. I am 30, and came of my motorbike at 19. I took the full impact of a 4x4 with my right foot. Drs tried to save my foot and I had many reconstructive surgeries, but 18 months after my accident the…

Im in the uk, we spend on average £320 p/month or $450 usd. Thats for a family of 2 adults and 1 starving 7 year old! But we tend to buy things like cleaning chemicals, soap and deodorant all in the same shop, so the food itself would come in at $50 less a month ish i guess. Seems alot. We get take away perhaps once a…

An accident at 19. The 11 following years having 30+ operations and being on and off crutches. Have been in wheelchair nearly 3 years now. Im 30.
