  • Hey there! I'm bed bound and have lost 150 lbs. I started my life style change before I found this app. I still have another 150 lbs to lose before a hip replacement can be done.

They don't want wound healing complications. The hip is in danger of fracturing which would be life-threatening at this point. So I'm…
  • Congratulations on your loss as well! Thank you for the link. I definitely need to add some upper body strength. I will check these out. :)
  • I had a physical therapist coming to my house to mainly retain as much range of motion as possible. Then....dun dun dun...insurance decided I don't qualify for those services. I've been doing the best I can on my own. Thank you for the suggestion though. :)
