Hi everyone!!! I am new here....
I am 38 and 5'2, I go between 170 and 180 pounds. I started weight training/ powerlifting when I was 15 and have maintained working out for majority of my life. I was diagnosed with PCOS which causes my adrenal glands to produce more testosterone then normal for a female I also produce high levels of estrogen.
So why I am throwing this out there??? well my issue is that I can gain muscle mass like crazy, but I can not lose the extra body fat. I am solid with a layer of what I refer to as insulation, lol. esp in the rear section. My endocrinologist told me that the only way for me to lose the fat is liposuction. This is due to estrogen saturation in the adipose tissue and insulin resistance. So I have been trying to find other ways to get rid of the fat.
My nutrition is on target. I eat very healthy and I train a lot. Right now I am doing more cardio. I swim two days a week and run the trails in the local foothills four days a week. This doesnt include my interval training.
I dont know where to start on this site, so any direction would be great
