I think this is true. I was fighting my waisteline before my accident. I
lost a bunch of weight after my accident and even more living at my mother's
ecause of stress. When I moved out and into this apartment, I probably lost
more. I got down to 115 lbs. I have a pic of me at that weight and I had a
very small quad belly. I cannot even get into a beautiful silk shirt my
roommate from China gave to me. I used to wear it without any problem, I
have not even 'tried' it on in years! I weigh ,oh, about 30 pounds more
and "know" I could not get into it now! I was doing pretty good untilk my
mother introduced me to a "wonderful" Belgium chocolate made for Aldi's. It
is a huge bar about 12 inches long and costs less than $2!! It was too good
to be true, but it was! I can tell a difference in my quad belly that it
may have grown some. I always weigh when I go to the doc every month. So
next week, I will know, ugh. take care,
Dana and Rocco

I'm a para at T 7. I have a long torso. I do exercise. I push my chair a
lot. I'm up and down my ramp several times a day and it's a fairly long
ramp since my house is pretty high up because it's raised. I live near the
ocean where the water table is high and flood concerns. Anyhow I also push
quite a bit at school and I diet. I'm not small person with a large bone
structure. I do have a belly. My arms, legs, and face are fairly thin but
my belly is hard to get rid of. I have seen many people in chairs that are
thin but I think they are small people in general. I also think that if you
don't have a belly to begin with then your chances are better but once you
get one it's harder to get rid of it. In my opinion.

my doc keeps thinking there's some exercises i can do to 'build up'
strength or maybe work down my quad belly. maybe he's right...

I think quad-guts are mostly on C5's and higher. At least the C6's I
know can push their own manual chairs and have more stomach muscles. As a C5
there are not many exercises I can do. Other than lift my arms high and
swing them around. I've used weights, but 1 pound and I can't do it much. I
try and twist my body as fast and much as I can, but in 15 seconds I'm out
of breath and dizzy.
