I can't really do much excersize, because I have weak bones. I recently hurt my back at work also, so that doesn't help matters much. Any input will be helpful.

Aquatic exercise, and watch what you eat.

See your doctor before you try any weight loss, especially if you have pre-existing conditions. And it sounds like you have those.
That said, here's what I would do. I'm not a doctor or dietician, so you have to choose what is best for you and your case.
Eat less, exercise more.
Stop eating anything with refined sugar in it. Read the label - it is says sucrose or glucose in any of the first 7-8 ingredients, don't eat it.
Eat a salad for lunch - don't put more than a tablespoon or so of dressing on it. Use italian dressing, not the thick creamy stuff.
Eat a serving of lean, well-trimmed meat for supper, and a serving or two of vegetables like green beans. One serving of meat is a piece about the size and thickness of a deck of cards.
Walk, ride a bike, row, use an elliptic machine, do whatever you can do for exercise.

After 24 years of helping people to reduce weight and improve their health, I'm convinced that there is no "correct" way to diet or achieve long term weight loss. It's a case of "different strokes for different folks". So if you are comfortable with a low carb plan, that's fine. Or if you prefer a more balanced eating plan, that's fine too. As long as you eat healthy foods and get physically active, the extra weight is gonna disappear!
How to Start Losing Weight
First, I want you to forget everything that has happened so far. Forget about your dieting failures, forget about any recent weight gain you might have experienced, forget about your fat tummy or thighs and give yourself a clean sheet. I know this is easier said than done, but it's very important if you want to lose weight and take back control of your life.
Second, I want you to stop trying to be the "perfect dieter". No one is perfect when it comes to dieting and losing weight - not me, not you - no one! So you are going to make mistakes. You may crash in the first week. You may go on a huge eating binge in the second week. You may not do a single minute of physical exercise in week 3. It doesn't matter. Why not? Because when (not if) these things happen, you are gonna start over. And eventually you will get it right and achieve all your weight loss goals. Trust me.
Third, don't "wait" to have a bad day or bad week on your diet. Instead, you are gonna plan for it. You are going to assume that your weight loss program goes up in smoke and you are going to have an "action-plan" to help you recover and start losing weight again. So sit down and plan what to do.
Maybe arrange to phone a close friend for support. Or decide to take a long walk. Or clean out your garden shed. It doesn't matter what you choose, as long as you have a program of action organised. Because when your diet plan flies out the window, you are gonna feel REAL guilty and start eating lots of calories. By having a specific plan to fall back on, you will overcome your temporary dieting problem and return to your weight loss plan.
Fourth, I want you to stop thinking that dieting is a pain in the butt. The truth is, a healthy weight loss diet is not boring, or painful or uncomfortable. It is your passport to a new life. It is going to open up wonderful opportunities for you. The only thing that is boring, painful and uncomfortable is staying overweight. But you are gonna change all this. You are going to follow a healthy diet and lose weight and enjoy every moment.
Above all, I want you to start believing that you can reduce weight. Don't forget - achieving starts with believing. So no matter how overweight you are, or how unfit you are, I want you to start believing in your ability to get rid of all your excess fat and start over on a brand new life.

Diet and exercise. There is no such thing as weak bones. You hurt your back because you dont exercise. Quit making excuses.
Of course, cigarettes and cocaine work well, too.
