I've had MFP for a while now but only just started using it as recently I was having chest pains and I get out of breath very easily so really need to lose a lot of weight the only thing is I'm disabled and due to chronic back pain find it difficult to walk very far before the pain gets too much.

I've been dieting for just over a week now taking smaller portion sizes eating a lot less sweets and crisps than I used to
(I could demolish a 6 pack of crisps in a day but now only take one pack a day sometimes none) drinking more water and eating more fruit and I have lost 7lb in the past fortnight.

I think my biggest problem is the exercise as I don't like going out on my own and my wife and daughter don't always want to go out with me, I've done a couple of short walks (0.5 and 0.6 miles) last week and want to try more and going further but as I said the pain is what is stopping me so i'm just wondering if anyone else has the same problems as me exercising and any advice that would maybe help me.

Sorry if this doesn't make sense it's my 1st post here and I don't know how to explain my situation properly.
