Stuck!

Hey! 22 year old lass from Lancashire. With CRPS in my left leg, I've been using crutches for the past 25 months. Before my injury leading to needing crutches, I weighed over 24 stone. I have now lost 10 and a half stone! I lost 48% of my body weight in two years.

However, I'm now stuck at 188lbs (85kg) (my last weigh in was mid October). My leg pain is preventing me from doing much exercise. I try to eat well and exercise when I can. I work in a supermarket on a checkout, so the only exercise I get is upper body.

My tummy, thighs and arms are my problem areas. I have a fair bit of excess skin in these areas, and the fat just won't budge!

You've done amazingly well! My ability to exercise is limited because of my back and leg. When I injured my back, my Finnish physio (we were living in Finland then) suggested getting an English Pilates beginner DVD. Many of my physio exercises were Pilates-based. I worked out a routine that keeps all the different bits moving and stretched and I find that helps with my pain levels. I certainly know it, if I stop for a day or two! It is possible to mainly exercise the upper body and work up a sweat. Good luck with it.
