Ht. 5'9, Wt. goal:170 - I am now really discouraged! I have lost 12 pounds so far, since July 15, but today I just found out I have a really bad stress fracture in my shin! It has been hurting since my softball season got over, and today we found out why it was. So i can't do any cardio exercise, actually i can't do any "weight baring" exercises for at least 1 month if not 2. I will just have to keep eating really good, and use some dumbbells or something.

Just be glad it's on your shin. I had one on my foot, and it's just about the worst kind you can get. Mine lasted about 6 months, with a cast on for about 1 month. Take it easy and listen to you doctor.
