hey everybody hows it goin? i thought maybe someone on here could help me out with a little problem. i am a c6-c7 quad [paralyzed from the chest down] and i cant stop gaining weight. i'm not over eating or anything and i stay very active. here lately i've been trying to stay over active trying maybe to loose some of this gut i'm getting. my doctor says its natural for people in my condition to have a stomach because i can't move any of my muscles there and theres nothing really to do. i thought maybe someone maybe has had or knew of someone that had the same trouble. thanks

i was stuck in a wheelchair for 2 months because of broken bones, but i lost about 25-30 pounds while in it. but i also didn't eat much though, and was healing, so i think that's why i lost weight.

you'll probably need to watch what you eat really carefully, and maybe you could push yourself around a track for some aerobic exercise or something.
