I'm in my early 40s, but was told my xrays look like those of a 70 yr old. One doc tells me I have mixed connective tissue disease and another tells me I have SLE. They agree I have varicose veins and osteoarthritis as well as spinal issues. I've kept off 100lbs, but need to loose at least 60lbs more. I'm down for walking motivation!!! Hope I can help be motivation for y'all too!

Wow, impressive weight loss! Great for you! Taking off all those pounds will definitely help your joints feel better, no question! Might help varicose veins to some extent? I understand those can be hereditary, at least to some extent.
