Exercise equipment for LP's

[Guest guest]

Hello all,

On my attempt to lose at least 10 pounds by September, I went searching for a

hand cycle, something docs in the past have mentioned to me.  I found and

ordered one that also has different levels of resistance. I just hope my arms

are not too short, but it's a risk I took.

While on the site, I nearly fell over as I saw equipment for children young as

5!  It is expensive and I don't know if my legs would reach, but I was shocked

to see it does exist!

I found it at fitnesszone.com,  also where I bought my hand cycle from.

I pray the hand cycle will work though, it will be an awesome way to do cardio

that will avoid my legs, as walking now with another bad leg is hard enough. 

With eating I am also going from eating once or twice a day to around four times

a day.  Need to kick start the metabolism.  I also went to the gov. site for the

food pyramid. It's great because you can enter what you eat in a day and see

what you are lacking or ate too much of. Of course I had to lie about my height,

so it wouldn't think I'm an " on my death bed obese " two year old (if I said I'm

3'3).  I am happy thought because I was able to get my calories to 1,400 which

is great.  Let me tell you, eating once or twice a day maybe getting 500 or 600

calories daily is definitely not healthy.

You'd think eating would not be rocket science, but obviously it is, if I've

gained weight.  Just trying to find the right combo of calories and safe

exercise!
