Weight Loss with Disabilities

Hey guys....I am looking to lose another 40 or so pounds after losing approx. 22 since the day after the super bowl (Feb 6th).
Wanted to see if there were other folks out there with disabilities that hamper ability to exercise (I have a neuromuscular disease called CMT). My disease causes a tender back which goes out everytime I do anything involving my legs (treadmill, walking long distances, etc).
I think motivation is key for me in my battle to lose weight and keeping a firm grip on recording food intake (I have a friend in great shape helping motivate me--even though I tend to fight him every step of the way).
I have adjusted my goals to take small steps (10 lb. increments) and celebrate victories earned.
Want to see if anyone is interested in creating a support group for folks needing to lose weight with a disability.
Hit me up/add me and lets keep each other motivated!
