5'5 goal 140 lbs / 10 stone; 29 years old

Hello, I'm 5"5, 29 and presently trying to lose weight as healthily as possible.
I'm 168 lbs at present, I was 176.4 lbs before the new year, so have lost getting onto 7lbs.
Although I dont buy take-aways, and tend to eat reasonably health (I think), I'm struggling to say no to the meals out (at friends houses, restaurants and pubs) altogether, and so I can have a few days where I commit, but then may trash this by eating well in excess of the 1200 recommended calories.
I have joined a slimming world group locally and I'm finding the rules of slimming world in total conflict with calorie restriction via 'myfitnesspal' which is probably not so good for me... I know I have to stick with one.
As I've bought some slimming world books and feel I've probably gained all I can from the group, I feel it may be hard to justify paying £5 a week for a weigh-in.
If there is anyone based in the north east of England (female), Tyne and Wear area I'd love to hear from you! However, I'd also appreciate support from anyone else anywhere in the globe. Particularly females of a similar size looking to lose a similar amount of weight.
I do struggle to incorporate exercise as get bored by myself, and obviously safety wise don't want to go out on walks by evening by myself. My hubby is very active and his idea of a fun walk isn't my idea of fun for the majority of the time! I've got joint problems owing to hyper mobility and resulting from a car crash in 2012 (including whip lash) so again, have to do low impact exercise without straining my back and limbs.
I look forward to hearing from anyone who may want to buddy up on this weight loss journey. x Katy
