Question Real Weight loss?

OK I admit it. I am one of the ones touting my gut as a real mans physique for several years. However it has gone above and beyond out of control. Last time I had to drag a deer 100 yards my chest very nearly exploded. Saying I am way overweight is an understatement. So much so that I have problems trying to excercise. I have never been this large before in my whole life. Think 5' 11" and 310+ lbs. I fear summer in Texas. Not because of a bathing suit, I am a man = I have no shame, but because when it hits 100+ out there my internal temp is going to be around boiling.

I have a good deal of muscle, but I just cant move around much anymore and that has GOT to stop. I work behind a desk all day. I drive an hour each way to work, and I have VERY little time to excercise like I should have done to prevent this in the first place.

I have found the following answers so far.

#1 Weight loss Supplements only remove weight from your wallet.
#2 The only thing a situp seems to do is test the ability of my couch to hold my feet down (Months I have been doing this).
#3 I don't have the time, or the money for gyms, health clubs, etc and even if I did there are not any within 100 miles of me.
#4 Telling somebody to walk is great. Now with one bad leg and about 100 pounds of excess fat YOU show me how to do it effectively. With 50lbs I could do it, but not with 100.

Alright all that aside, and keeping in mind I eat small reasonable meals and try to stick to the Omega diet the Doctor put me on two years ago I need major help here. I need to loose enough weight that I can move around enough to loose weight. . . . talk about a catch 22. Anybody have any ideas about indoor excercises, that will help, that don't involve the purchase of equipment, with limited space to move about in the house?

Keep in mind I am not lazy. I WANT to move around and get excercise. On the weekends I work in the yard, I hunt and fish, etc. But I have to find a way to drop this weight and the faster the better. Once I have dropped about 50lbs and can actually move around, and work out on machinery, etc then I can go back to using my lunch hour to work out at the company wellness center (Which I was doing last year) However I tried not long ago and I am too big for most of the machinery, two short legged for the excercise bikes (And I mean it sheesh you cant set the thing to where I can use them, I think they ordered them for somebody with legs like a spider monkey) and baring those things there aint a whole lot you can do in there but stare at the people working out.

Anyway. Any ideas for getting fat off quickly at home? I tried to get my wife to buy me a wet dray vac (After all I own several good skinning knives) but she nixed that idea.

Thanks.
