Hi All :)

Back in April I fractured and dislocated my ankle which required surgery. I was casted with limited mobility for 2 months follow by a walking boot and physical therapy for another 2 months. In September I got the ok to start "walking for exercise" from the doctor. I still had pain and discomfort, but the doctor told me to work through it. At this point I was the heaviest I ever was. 186;bsI felt discouraged because of my injury but I knew something had to change. I started walking, a little more each day. I lost 6lbs.
By October I decided I wanted to make an even bigger change. I joined a gym and started MFP. Since joining MFP I have lost 8lbs (14lbs total). I just finished up my 4th week... I know I have a long road ahead of me. New friends and support would be greatly appreciated! BTW since working out my ankle hasn't bothered me as much

I love this site and I love reading everyone success stories at the end of the day. I can't wait to write my own success story with before and after pics :) Keep up the good work everyone!

    Welcome! I am always looking for new friends to support.
    In my experience, if you work through the pain, it's not as bad as you expect it to be.

    We can lose weight together:)
