in Introduce Yourself
Hello, I am not new to MFP but have been gone for quite a while. I have been in a cast and or boot for almost nine months due to a misdiagnosis! I have gained 40 lbs through all this and have lost 20 lbs so far. I need to lose another twenty to get back to my original weight. Problem is I cannot do cardio quite yet and have no idea how to proceed. I need any help and ideas you can give me!

    Search wheelchair, broke foot, broken foot, broke ankle and broken ankle in the search function.

    You’ll find several useful threads.

    @Br00klynbaby90 has your therapist given you any upper body suggestions yet? (BTW she is kicking *kitten* on crutches to keep moving.)

    you lose weight in the kitchen, so, theres that.

    if you are not weighing and logging your food, definitely start there.

    Finding workouts you CAN do (upper body for example) will help keep you moving and you in the right frame of mind for when the cast comes off and you can do more (and after that long i wouldnt be surprised if you need some kind of PT)

    Yes, log your food. As long as you are in a calorie deficit, you can lose weight.
    As for exercise...
