| I'm 20 years old, 5'7" and 23 pounds overweight. I need to loose those pounds by June to be in a weding party. But there's no possible way that I can workout due to a handicap. What can i do? |

| Simply eat less calories than you burn. Take the amount you need and subtract 500. Dont stop eating and still eat correct portions, but eat balanced. Go to www.calorieking.com for a calorie database and weight tools. Good luck! |

| Be very careful with what you eat. Cut out all sugary drinks and solely drink water. If you don't like water, you can buy the individual crystal light flavors to add to bottled water. Cut down on your portions and increase you vegetable and fruit intake so you are filling up on healthy food rather than junk (like mashed potatoes for example). |

| Not sure what the handicap is, but maybe water aerobics? You can also start watching what you eat (eating more fruits and veggies, lean meats, and less junk). If you are in a wheel chair, you could go for "walks", even though you're only using your upper body (actually you would probably use your torso too), it's still burning calories. |
