For those of us advancing in years the worst payback of losing weight is that you lose fat off your face too.
As you grow older your face stops producing collogen - the natural "face plumper". If you're overweight some of your excess body fat will settle on your face, disguising the fact that collagen production has slowed up. Consequently when you do lose weight, your face can become withdrawn and sallow in appearance, and there ain't a whole lot you can do about it.
You can have your butt or you can have your face, but you can't have both!
If you hadn't guessed I could do with a bit of facial fat at the mo.....

Yeah, that is something I've noticed with some women, which is another reason I want to lose while I'm still young (25) and while I don't have a large amount to lose. Although, I didn't gain too much weight in my face (which looks odd in its own way, thin face/neck and larger body), my jawline is just slightly less defined than it is at 120.
I think I'm an hourglass shape (as opposed to apple and pear), so I have large boobage and a large butt, which I don't mind at all bc I fill out pants. I just want to lose weight around my stomach and abdomen and on my back (terrible, hateful bra fat!). I know you can't "spot reduce" but if my butt never lost an inch, I wouldn't be so upset.
Ugh! I have really small breasts. My hips are wide but my bum is the flattest in the universe. It is just a line. It doesn't even curve. I tried to be optimistic on the possibilities. I say "Ok, if my breasts get smaller, I will be able to go topless swimming when I am thin". But what can you say about a flat behind?

I'd be okay with bigger boobs, LOL. They are shrinking... Even at my highest weight I've never been larger than a C cup. This has always made shopping for nicely fitting tops a challenge as most cuts seem to assume a larger breast size.
I'm OK with my height until I'm shopping for capris or walking shorts.
OK butt stuff ... the treadmill on an incline, the leg press machine, I enjoyed Buns of Steel until I found it was irritating a hip/spine thing, squats, lunges, deadlifts, good mornings ...

That's why my body makes no sense, I'm really hourglass from the front: 34DDD-29-40, but then the butt just ain't there! The weight I gain seems to be distributed perfectly evenly all over my body (for instance, when I gain 10 lbs every measurement from arms to thighs to hips to waist gets 1.5" larger) except there.

Exactly, and false butt padding is seen at inexcusable and laughable, whereas no one thinks of Wonderbras as out of the ordinary.

Oh I remember one of my male friends saying something about Wonderbras are so deceptive and how he wished women would just admit they have small breasts. Don't know what kind of disappointment he went through.
I hate the fact that my boobs are getting smaller. Ever since I can remember, I've always wanted big boobs. And when I finally got them, I LOVED them!!! I've gone down a cup size now and ugh..I hate it. I wish I could take some of the fat from my thighs and put it in my boobs. I have a water bra, and those silicone inserts. If dh would let me, I'd get my boobs done tomorrow, lol. He's pretty happy with whatever size my boobs are. He's just doesnt want my booty to get smaller. Which seems like that will never happen, lol.
