What is/was the last body fat to go?

If you've finished your WLI journey what was the last fat to go? I'm finding body fat distribution interesting and what my body chooses to burn first (Been on mounjaro 5 months, hour glass shaped, lost 16kg everywhere but my hips and only gone down one dress size from 18 to 16)

There's a hard dome of suet stored in my omentum that is not getting used up at the same rate as the subcutaneous fat everywhere else.

I've lost 14 stone so far, and a rock hard pot belly has slowly emerged as the enormous rolls of fat have gone.

You can tell that it is a different kind of fat (even if you've never seen an omentum packed with solid fat rising like a protective, hard dome above the intestines) because it is rock hard, the subcutaneous stuff is much squishier.

I only have 4 kg left to lose before reaching my initial goal of BMI 24.9, but my waist is still 5.5 inches too wide to be considered safe and healthy. It's annoying, and not something I remember from the 4 previous times when I've lost enormous amounts of fat. I suspect it is age related, bodies can't be expected to be the same shape at 68 as they were at 45, 30 and 15. My "healthy" size always used to be 36" 28" 36" and I'd assumed I'd naturally end up there once I'd reached a healthy weight again. Now it looks like I'm going to have to keep going to a smaller dress size before my waist gets down to a healthy circumference. Thank goodness for GLP-1 medication, making it possible to keep plodding along.

Stomach. I've lost just over 5 stone but only gone down 2 dress sizes because of my belly. My clothes are all too big on my hips/thighs/chest but I can't size down because of the belly.

I’m a pear shape, 4 stone down and maintaining. No WLI’s, managed it with intermittent fasting. My stomach is still flabby, I’d be a size 8 if it wasn’t for my belly.

I’m not complaining though, 4 stone heavier and I looked like Humpty Dumpty, I lost my waist completely and I was round!

First to go was my boobs, they are non existent now!

Stomach here too. I still have 12kgs to lose to reach my first goal. I wish tops weren’t so short these days!
