I'm a Stroke Survivor


I'm 56 and youngest in the nursing home. I'm paralyzed on my right side, have diabetes, and almost daily seizures. I have two children 10 years apart. My daughter is a freshman in college and my son is doing fine and has a good job. I'm very proud of both of them. My parents support me a lot.

I have to lose at least 200 lbs. without being able to exercise. My doctor told me it is impossible for me to lose weight, but with the help of Sparkpeople I hope to prove ...
I'm 56 and youngest in the nursing home. I'm paralyzed on my right side, have diabetes, and almost daily seizures. I have two children 10 years apart. My daughter is a freshman in college and my son is doing fine and has a good job. I'm very proud of both of them. My parents support me a lot.

I have to lose at least 200 lbs. without being able to exercise. My doctor told me it is impossible for me to lose weight, but with the help of Sparkpeople I hope to prove him wrong.

Before I had a stroke, I was a preschool teacher in a Christian school. Although I can't do most of the hobbies I used to do, I can still draw and use a computer(one handed). Now that I have a Bible installed on my computer, I love to read it.

I lost 40 lbs before I started Sparkpeople, and 14 lbs. with Sparkpeople. The doctor was obviously wrong!

    Hi I'm Hope one of the co-leaders on People with Disabilities on Fixed Incomes. We're glad to have you on the team. Just today I had a friend on another team introduce me to some DVD's that are availablel that lets you exercise in a chair. If you look on the internet the link is chairdancing.com . They have a video showing what they do. There are 3 DVD's each a little more advanced than the other. If you scroll down or enlarge the page you can watch and see if its something you can use. Hopefully this will help you lose weight. Also try to drink 8 glasses of water a day if your kidneys allow it. Water helps flush fat out, lower blood sugars, lower cholesterol, and help lower HBP. You can also get more tips on the site. I'll say prayers for you. Hope
