Hello all. I am new to this forum but not my weight loss journey. I am not really sure where I fit in the spectrum on this forum. I started my journey back in August of 2009. At the time I weighed 193. Since then I have gotten down to right around 158. I am super stoked about that progress.
My goal weight is currently 145. I want to get to that point and see how easy that is to maintain and see how I feel about myself.
There is one problem in this process though. I was just told YESTERDAY that I have peroneal tendonitis. That is the tendon that starts on your femur, runs down the back side of your outer ankle to your lower foot. Tendonitis itself wouldn't be so bad but the doctor believes I also have either a tear or what is called tendon subluxation (which is where your tendon is able to dislocate and relocate).
I get an MRI and the results in 2.5 weeks.
I am not supposed to run, swim or really anything that stretches that ankle. I am putting the weight loss on hold. And by that, if it happens great but if not, then I won't be disappointed. I am just afraid of gaining since I just lost the one thing that has helped me get to where I am...running.
I do lift but I could really use some advice on something cardio related that would not be overly stressful on your ankle. Thanks in advance
