Asked By:Thriving184515 in Los Angeles, California

I already train 4x a week, and eat within my calorie intake, but this pooch has never left, even after 3 coolsculpting sessions! Not sure where to turn next? After so much weight training and cardio it’s a bit discouraging, I’d love to get a professional opinion. Thanks! (133 lbs, 5’8, 30 y/o, no kids)
