Lots of you know me, so you can skip the first half of this.
I am 22 years old (and 5ft 1) right now, but last year, during the summer I had a small fall – during that fall I broke my knee a couple of times, and dislocated it. I also damaged all the ligaments and tendons in there, breaking something to that effect in the process.

I spent a lot of time in a wheelchair, even after my operations I was still in my wheelchair for 7 months, I occasionally got crutches but it hurt me so badly it kept triggering my epilepsy – and giving me seizures, which set back my healing time.

After all my operations and wheelchair fun, I have to say I got a bit sad – and I won’t deny I ate too much.
That with the combination of the fact that I used to work out a lot and then I couldn’t do anything…in the end I put on over three stone, bringing me up to 11 stone.

Between the time I started my physio at Christmas last year and summer time, I lost all the weight – very quickly.
I think it was mostly because I could get up and do my work outs again and the diet was helping ALOT.

But now, my seizures have gone mental, so I have been told not to work out.
I broke the rule once and had a massive seizure and didn’t get out of bed for 48 hours…so I figure that they were right, rather than being cautious.
So now I am back up to 126pounds – which is fine.

But my muscle tone is disappearing, which is sad.

I thought some people may want to hear my story. I left this board because a couple of individual people were being unpleasant towards me. It is a shame because I wish I had people I could have spoken to about my problems, expecially when I was particularly sad about my weight.

I hope I can work out again soon.

Good luck everyone.
