    Awesome results! And an inspiration to us all. I am not a youngster like you, but I do have an 80 lb loss/goal as well. I feel that whatever I do, it will have to be an improvement in all areas to my health and well-being. Thank you for sharing!

    Congrats!! I have the same amount of weight to lose (80lbs) but am much shorter (5'3"). It is so inspirational to see successes like yours. Good luck with your ongoing efforts! You look great!

    Great work!!!! How did you like C25K? I am just starting it. Were you able to keep up with the program?

    I finished it, but the one I was using just trained me to jog continually for 30 minutes. Which would be fine, if I could do 5k in 30 min. Instead I was going 2.5miles in the same amount of time. So now I'm using the runtastic app and keeping track of my time. I'm pacing it out the same way too with three days of 2.8miles, then bumping it up to three days of 5k. I stopped for now since I'm in a summer course and I like to jog in the morning and it doesn't work with my morning class. Once my class is done this week I'm going to start back up with it though. So kinda yes and kinda no. It's definitely worth doing though. :)

    Wow...you look great. I don't know if this makes sense, but you look like a babyface kid in the before pic. You look like a woman in the "now" pic...but you still look younger. Doesn't make sense to me, so I prob didn't explain that correctly.

    But here is something that I CAN say correctly--CONGRATS!!

    Your journey is incredibly inspiring! Congratulations on such amazing success. Your stats are very similar to mine as I am starting out. I love the idea of pics per 10 lbs. I will be taking pics tomorrow to begin. I look forward to seeing more of your successes.

    Very inspiring! I love that you thought to take pictures every 10lbs too, now that I'm starting to see some change myself I really regret that I don't have more pictures of the journey. You look great, keep it up!

    You look amazing! Congratulations!! I also had a blood clot in my leg about 9 years ago, which ran from my femoral artery to my ankle. Turns out I have two clotting factors, I had just had a baby 2 weeks prior, and I was overweight. All big clotting risks. I have been trying to get my weight under control ever since, to reduce the chance of recurrence. I lost about 80 lbs and then got pregnant again and gained a bunch back. Now I'm down another 45 and still going, just slowly.

    Just to give you hope about your circulation issues, my leg aches and muscle pain have subsided a lot with time and staying active. The best advice (which you probably already know) is to keep your leg elevated as much as possible! Whenever you are sitting, just prop it up on a chair or ottoman. The pooling of fluid and blood from just sitting down can really increase the damage to your leg. That, and compression stockings. I HATE them, but I wear them as often as I can. It has helped get my legs back to the same size.

    Keep up the good work, you're a true inspiration!
