One thing to think about, do you think that maybe your weight is exacerbating your back pain? Remember, even if you have trouble exercising, you still control the calories you put in your mouth.

I was thinking the same thing, but figured someone else would bring it up as well. I would love to add to your comment, but fear someone will turn it into something bad and start a senseless argument, which has been the case for me lately, something I'd rather avoid for now.
Like most others, I haven't seen any negative comments or insults to overweight individuals on this board. I'm guessing a mod wouldn't let it last longer than a few minutes anyway, so chances of catching it are low also.
EDIT: I just saw CandleIntheDark's statement, which I fully agree with and it for the most part sums up the situation. Unless it's medically or physically impossible for someone to lose weight, all else is just excuses.
EDIT 2: I don't think CandleInTheDark is saying we shouldn't be accepting of those who are overweight, but rather those who want people to feel sorry for them for being overweight yet do nothing about their problem except whine (generally speaking, it's not exclusive to weight). Unless I misinterpreted what he is saying, that statement is correct. One must be responsible and take action rather than complain and expect results if something is bothering them.
