@britts_getting_fit_: Fun fact - over the past 3 years, I’ve lost over 100 pounds, gotten healthier than ever, shared my weight loss story with hundreds of thousands of people, and learned of and got diagnosed with a disease that I didn’t know existed (lipedema). I share this because without the hundreds of people online who commented on my posts and messaged me, I might still be in the dark about what lipedema is and how it affects me. Lipedema is a chronic medical condition characterized by an abnormal buildup of fat in the legs, hips, butt, and sometimes the arms. There are several different types of lipedema. I have type 3 which means I have lipedema in my hips, thighs, and calves, along with my arms. While I also struggle with obesity, this is not obesity. I still have weight to lose but without intervention, the lipedema fat will remain. To manage my lipedema, I use pantyhose compression, diet and exercise, manual lymphatic drainage massage, workouts, and my vibration plate. If you’re built like me and you’re suffering through symptoms, just know that you’re not alone. I highly recommend looking into a specialist in your area. Check out lipedema.net and lipedema.org for more info. #weightloss #lipedema #lipedemalegs #lipedemafighter #lipedemaawarenes
