Motivate me! Joint problems

Hi! I'm a 53-year-old teacher who is trying to get back down to 135. I topped at 190 this summer and have lost 9 lbs so far, despite vacation and work conferences. I have a connective tissue disease (prob. Ehlers-Danlos) and my joint pains and injuries made me leave my previous career as a field biologist. Once I got a comparatively sedentary job about 7 years ago the pounds just kept creeping up and up. I'm in a rural area and limited in my ability to exercise.
