Hanging fat pockets

Hi all

I was wondering if anyone has this same thing? I've looked all over the internet and can't find anything not one thing not even images of other people. My inner thighs have fat hanging the best way I could describe it is if you take a pair of panty hose and fill it with sand maybe 2 pounds. Where it's connected to my body is skin i feel very little fat but at the bottom it's like that's where it all went. I asked my Dr and he said that's what it is a pocket of fat. Has anyone had experience with this? Any suggestion of exercise that would help reduce this? I prefer a home workout because I can't really afford a gym membership and no I don't have cable or any real frivolous things, except internet.

Please help I'm ok with flabby arms and hanging fat from my stomach. These things are ugly and I can't even wear shorts comfortably without fear that they will hang out, which they do if I sit wrong.

Thank you in advance.

Massages to break the fat pocket up, deep tissue ones, they are going to hurt you might bruise. Then walking or running. The only thing you can do is lose more weight, but massages to break it up will help a lot.

I have the same thing. I have both lymphedema and lipoedema in my legs. I am currently undergoing treatment for the lymphedema with a physical therapist. I am not sure there is a treatment for the lipoedema other than fat loss and eventual skin removal surgery. Believe it or not, my inner thighs were the first place I noticed weight loss.

You really can't spot reduce fat. You can tone and firm muscle.

My exercise of choice is swimming. It is a great all over exercise, easy on the joints, and feels great. I also happen to be blessed with a pool at home.

Maybe hard pressing , rolling and wrapping the fat pockets. Then us those body wraps I see on the Internet . Just a thought.

Really massages? interesting. Thank you very much it's funny you say that because I just purchased another Tens unit today due to my old one of several years broke. Maybe I'll try that since there is a deep tissue setting.
