5 months after replacement, down 25 pounds. Because I choose to be active in life instead of sitting on my couch worrying about damaging my new hip. Up to 5 Ks every other day, winter has set in snow and ice on the streets and sidewalks so going to ride my exercise cycle during the winter. I have also notice quite a few follow hipsters being active in sports again so that is a good thing. Okay peace be with you all. Merry Christmas. P.S. Remember kids talk with your Dr before starting any kind of exercise and if anybody gives you grief look them right in the eyes and ask to see their medical degree.
