hey guys- the man said he got out of breath by lifting his arms, not that it was impossible. i don't know about you guys, but typing on the computer isn't like doing step aerobics! to the person who posted the original message: it doesn't matter right off if you can't do anything physically demanding. diet is 75% of weight loss. just lose enough so that you can do something, or even be moble to start with. it sounds difficult and i can't even comprehend being imoble but that's the best advice i can give in my situation!
