Haha, I use hurt ankles as an excuse to lay up on the couch for a few days... clearly, I'm not as far into the weight loss journey as you!
Maybe you can concentrate on toning exercises while you heal... pushups, planks, crunches, weights with your arms. I twisted my ankle while I trained for a triathlon a few years ago so I concentrated more on swimming.. it's a weird feeling, swimming with a sprained ankle but I don't think it damages it any more.
You can turn this into a positive. Today I went ice skating for the first time in 4 years (not good for hurt ankles but good for my story). Even though I have been working out a lot lately, I felt so many new muscles even within minutes. This could be a good time to change up your routine and challenge your body in new ways, too.
