Sounds like you are doing everything right in a tough situation. Hang in there, don't be too hard on yourself, and ask you therapist and doctor for help losing weight. They might have some extra suggestions for exercises you can do which are not dangerous.

hi there..how did u break your foot if u dont mind me asking?.....hmm instead of foccusing on your legs, can u just do the dumbells/free weights? or just try using the upper body machines, back extention machine. only things i can think of. also the resistance bands or stabiity ball u can get at walmart that works your arms and shoulders until the dr. says its ok to work on your legs and to take it easy. you dont want to push yourself and end up back in the prediccument that you were in. i know it is hard bc i am stubborn to and i always push myself nad i dont listen to my body.....idk if this helps u out or not.

hi all--i've been a "sparker" since this spring, and have been doing alright, but about 6 weeks ago, i broke my foot, was in a hard cast, and crutches, and just last week got the cast off. now i'm wearing a lace-up brace and was put in physical therapy for another 4 weeks, at which point i will go back to the orthopedic surgeon for more x-rays, and hopefully he'll say i don't need surgery!
anyway, while i'm doing my physical therapy, i've been instructed not to go back to the gym, and be tempted to do more than i can handle, but i still need to be lifting, or doing some extra strength training, or something. i am getting married november 1st, and this kind of puts a kink in my plans.
is anyone else out there in the same predicament, or have any suggestions for my situation? thanks a bunch!!
