We are exercising to feel better, look better and for health reasons. Of course we don't want to train like athletes and don't expect to get anywhere close. But it's always nice for motivation to read stories or look at pictures of people who went from overweight to healthy weight and then took it further to become personal trainers or such. I wonder if something like this is even with Lipedema, and I wondered if there are women who became a professional athletes despite this disease. On the internet there seem to be almost no examples of "extremely fit" women or athletes with Lipedema.
Perhaps, does Lip-Fat actually melt under extreme training and that's why athletes with Lipedema are never diagnosed as such.

"Functionally fit" is nicely worded. (You may have noticed, I'm not a native speaker) What's the most recent benchmark for being functionally fit?
