Hi and welcome, REBELION1 :)

That sounds like a very painful injury and I hope you're mending well. We have other members with very similar injuries, who are still managing to lose weight, although their inactivity, as I'm sure yours is, is very frustrating.

Follow this link to our chat thread and a list of all the activities we run. We've found active participation to be key to success, especially with our weigh-ins and Daily Diary.

I’m also on crutches following ankle surgery and have been immobile for a while so you have my sympathy. The good news is that for weight loss it’s more about food, and there are exercises you can still do such as stretches and strength exercises

Have a good read of all the information above and please just ask if you have any questions 😊

Sounds like a bad break hope you're on the mend now. You could try some of the seated exercises and so long as eating less should be able to loose I've lost a stone and do no exercise other than walking Archie ( my dog). Good luck
