Disabled vet needs to lose weight.

Greetings everyone! I am a veteran of the Gulf War. While in service, I sustained serious damage to my spine and wrists. As a result, I experience a lot of pain in my back, and I cannot stay on my feet for hardly any time.
I remember back to a time when i was not carrying as much weight as I am now. I could get around so much easier, and my pain was less. Carrying so much weight puts a lot of pressure on the spine, and as a result, I experience so much more pain.
At this point in my life, losing weight is a decision between living or dying. I need to lose weight to lessen my back pain, to give me greater mobility, decrease the risk of diabetes, and lower my blood pressure just to name a few reasons. Looking better is a goal, but for now I just need to get my health in order.
I am new, so if you would like to be friends, friend me.
Take care, and good luck to all!
Blessings,
James
