Hi - I am a 42 year old active female. I have struggled for the last 7 years after the birth of my last daughter to lose the troublesome areas. My current weight is 142 lbs and I fluctuate between a size 6 and 8. This I believe is my body's "normal" weight and size. I struggled in my youth with being overweight, topping out at 190 lbs and a size 16. Even when I was at my lowest , 134 lbs and a size 4, I still had the "mommy shelf" and my thighs have always touched. I am 5'9" tall. I decided after much research that I would try coolsculpting before going under the knife. So here is my story so far;
On 3/25/16 I went for my procedure. I did 3 applications with all the same size applicators, one on my lower abdomen, and then on my inner thighs. When the applicator was first applied, I was a tad uncomfortable but in no pain for the first minute, after that, it just went numb. I had absolutely zero pain. When the 60 minutes was up, I did the 2 minute massage. From what I read, this has been the worst part of the actual procedure so I was a bit nervous. Again, I was a tad uncomfortable, but it was not painful at all. I would definitely do it again!
Today is day 3, I am still swollen, even feel like I gained a couple of pounds but the only discomfort I have is when I lightly press on my abdomen. My thighs do not hurt in the slightest. Tomorrow I am back to the gym.
I will continue to post updates, and will post pictures at the end. Fingers crossed this work so I won't have to have a mini tummy tuck with liposuction!

hope it works!!! keep posting! but you already look very good... to my opinion.... many people getting tummy tucks can only hope to get a body like yours... so dont be so hard on yourself.

I would love to know what your results have been. It is hard to find reviews from more slim, active people. I had inner thighs done yesterday and am hoping for some good results.

I have a very similar body situation to yours. I work out everyday but when I hit my forties, things change. My thighs and little bit of love handles are the area for my concern. Thank you for sharing your story. It's helping me to understand the process better.

I really have had zero pain. I'm so bloated (apparently I may have IBS...) so I haven't been able to notice any positive changes since I am carrying all this excess water. I'm hoping at week 3 things will settle down for my body and I can notice a difference.

I just had this procedure done one 3 areas of my stomach. I always worked out as well, but just couldn't get rid of some belly fat. I actually had a lot of pain on all 3 areas. The Dr. Said because I have a low pain tolerance. I'm really swollen now and having a lot of discomfort. They said it's normal. I'm hoping this procedure works
