Richard Simmons has an exercise dvd specifically geared for those in wheelchairs. You might find that helpful and you could probably find it on Amazon or ebay.

your best bet is to watch what you eat..
also, work the body that you do have. use your arms.. i know it's hell on the hands, but if you have a regular wheel chair wheel yourself around the block a few extra times and such..
unfortunately, you can't get the normal cardio workout..so you are going to have to use the body you do have to try and get your heart rate going. i don't know if you have a handicapp accessbile pool near you, but if you can get somewhere and swim using just your arms it's a good workout too.
good luck
