Ah, that sucks. I hope your ankle gets better quickly. Congrats on losing the inch.

Don't worry, I'm living proof that it's possible to lose weight without exercise! Maybe lower your calories a smidgen to make up for the inactivity, and then just stay on plan and try not to fret until you can get back on the scale. Can you do chair exercises for your upper body at least? Best of luck with the ankle healing, that must be a right nuisance.

Not that I necessarily think you should weigh yourself, but if you really want too... can't you do it on one foot? I've done some pretty crazy things on my scale, trying to check different body fat percentages.

You could be doing chair aerobics, resistance bands, hand weights so why are you just sitting on the couch?

For the one who said you can lose weight without exercise, that is a very unhealthy way to lose it because you lose muscle along with fat.

Sorry, I should have mentioned that I can't exercise for medical reasons. My muscles are already severely damaged, all the way down to the muscles of my eyes and other unexpected places, and the nature of my medical condition is that it is worsened by exertion and stimulus. My point wasn't that you shouldn't exercise, it was that it's still possible to lose weight even when you are unable to exercise.

The most important thing right now, of course, is to let your ankle heal up so you don't cause any long-term damage. Until then, consider your weigh-in a nice surprise for the future.
