    I'm fat and cheap and I need an old sedan!

    I found a '97 Buick leSabre on craigslist. We looked at it but my husband found three things that concerned him: it looked like it had been in an undisclosed accident, there was oil around the feed tube (could be a clutzy person who added oil) and the worst was that one of the rear floor mats...

    Anyone know a supersized amputee?

    Dear moore2me, I've sent you a private message but will discuss your post here as well: I'll agree that it's been a struggle since the accident (I had a head-on collision in my Mazda 626 with another sedan in May 2007 - it appears to have been my fault). From not knowing if I'd ever walk...

    I'm fat and cheap and I need an old sedan!

    Ann Marie, Thanks, I looked at that thread. For what I want to pay, I'm looking at older cars than were discussed (for the most part) on the used car thread. Probably nothing newer than a 1998 or so would fit my (small) budget, and that's why I wanted to start this "cheap used cars" thread.

    Roomy Cars 2001-2004??

    Personally, I wouldn't buy a Honda. They're the company that refuses to provide seat belt extenders to fat people. If you haven't read SSBBW Elizabeth Fisher's website about her dealings with Honda, you should. Most fat people won't buy from them and everyone I've told about their policies...

    Anyone know a supersized amputee?

    Hi everyone, Here it is, two and a half years after my accident. I've finally gotten rid of my walker and am using only a cane now. At times (when someone is around to help if necessary) I'm walking without a cane for short distances. It's taken a lot longer than anticipated to regain my...

    I'm fat and cheap and I need an old sedan!

    Hi all, I've read the threads about newer cars for fat folks, but my post has to do with an older car, something I can afford. I broke my old 89 Mazda 626 a couple of years ago in a crash. I was originally hoping to get a minivan with a ramp but can't afford one so now I'm looking for an...

    Supersized durable medical equipment in "Marketplace"

    Hi folks, I hope it's OK to post something in the health section. I've put up two items on the newly-created "Marketplace" thread on this website. One is for a super-deluxe brand new power chair and the other is for a fold-down bath bench. The wheelchair is rated to 650 pounds, and the bench...

    Aquatic Center

    I've been going to a warm water therapy pool (94 degrees) for about nine years. It's not a lap pool but rather a place for individuals to stretch, walk, jog in floating place, do resistance movements with the styrofoam toys, and just plain float and relax. Not to mention the social aspects of it...

    The Dimensions Market Place

    Not sure of who you're asking this of, but I'll take a crack at it. My definition of a size-related item would be something that would apply to a fat person's life; something that a thin able-bodied person wouldn't need. So clothing would fall under this unless there was a separate thread for...

    The show your face/introduction thread

    Hi Trudy, I also am interested in food: eating, cooking, judging etc. Do you think that your schooling at the culinary school will help you greatly in finding work or are restaurant owners/managers in your area more impressed by hands-on experience? And by the way, I think you should open a...

    The show your face/introduction thread

    Thanks Sandie, nice to see you again too! Say hi to Guy for me please. I'm going to post something in a new forum that Conrad just set up, for size-related equipment. Check it out - I'll have something posted soon.

    The show your face/introduction thread

    Thank you for the warm welcome, Ginny. I'm so glad you've enjoyed the video and I hope it has helped you. I hope to be able to teach yoga again, in some way.

    The show your face/introduction thread

    Hello all, I've been a fat-acceptance advocate and activist since the mid 1980s when I was introduced to a local group called "Ample Opportunity" in Portland Oregon. A long-time dieter, my eyes were opened; I was in awe of the beautiful fat women who not only accepted their bodies but also...

    Anyone know a supersized amputee?

    Hi folks, I couldn't get back here to post earlier, but I wanted to catch up with everyone who replied to my questions. The fabulous news is that I won't need anymore surgery on my legs. They're healing very well (at last) and I've been discharged by my surgeon. That means no more chance...

    Anyone know a supersized amputee?

    Hi moore2me and everyone else. I've been offline because my health suddendly came to an abrupt change on December 18. I had been experiencing more pain than usual in my legs, especially my left leg. I went to the emergency room because my PCP thought I was having a blood clot. Turns out I...
