Unfortunately, we may have up to 11% of women in the world have Lipedema and they don't know it because it can be confused with other conditions.

Most of the women think that this is just a lifestyle issue, it's their fault and there's nothing they could do about it.

But the question always is, what is Lipedema?

Lipedema is a relatively common fat disorder often mistaken for simple obesity. Its clinical diagnosis is an adipose tissue disorder or a lipid metabolism disorder. A typical lipedema patient is a woman who struggles with large hips and legs, usually out of proportion to the rest of her body.

Lipedema also appears in the upper arms. One of the hallmarks of the disease is that lipedema fat is relatively unresponsive to standard diet and exercise. These measures may lead to weight loss in other areas, but the size of the hips and legs remains disproportionately large.

Lipedema is a disorder of the adipose tissue distinguished by five characteristics:
☑️ it can be inherited;
☑️ it occurs almost exclusively in women;
☑️ it can occur in women of all sizes, from the seriously underweight to the morbidly obese;
☑️ it involves the excess deposit and expansion of fat cells in an unusual and particular pattern – bilateral, symmetrical, and usually from the waist to a distinct line just above the ankles; and
☑️, unlike the “normal” fat of obesity, lipedemic fat cannot be lost through standard diet and exercise.

I need my mobility back. Sure hope I can figure out how to manage it.

It is so frustrating as there is v little support. And No medical cover.!!! For the last few decades I tried so many ways of healthy eating nd losing weight/fat but it sticks on. Disappointing when you see others get to their goals in health nd I struggle along. To top it all with age and body aches and feet issues and back nd bone issues there is little in terms of full strength nd fitness training
Almost every effort I make I injure myself from flat feet injuries to swollen ankles knee pains back fracture topped up with fibromyalgia diabetes
My spirit and mind is willing so trusting for the body to follow suite.
