Time to start this Journey!

Hello everyone, I'm on a journey to lose around 40 to 45 pounds. I've been through a lot in the last 11 years. In 2006 I was paralyzed waist down but thankfully I'm back up and walking with a cane. Anyways my goal is to lose the weight and get off my cane. Pretty much what is holding me back is muscle strength. Anyways if anyone has any good tips or advice would be greatly appreciated along this journey. The doctors told me they didn't know if I would walk again or not of course that gave me determination to get up and get going again. So I just have to find the motivation and stick with it along this journey.

Thanks
