Spoonie weight loss.

I used MFP 2 years ago and lost 3 3/4 stone. Due to hospital stays, comfort eating, chronic pain, no exercise, depression & fatigue I put about 3/4 of that back on.
I'm starting again. I have osteoarthritis in lower back, CFS (waiting diagnosis), a neuromuscular disorder (previously thought to be Myotonia but more tests needed with a muscle specialist despite cold, stress and sudden movements making muscles seize up), Fibromyalgia, Chronic Pain for last 10 years, use a walking stick, hypothyroidism, depression, anxiety, mild agoraphobia & IBS and associate with The Spoon Theory.
I want to lose weight. Although specialists have told me losing weight won't make my conditions/disabilities go away they say it won't hurt.
