Fat globules

Does anyone else have a massive amount of these after quite a considerable weight loss?
I've seen some people mention getting a bit squidgy but I'm down about 55lb and they are everywhere, some are like marbles but some body parts have areas that feel like craters and cliffs. Its fascinating but I find myself walking around shops with my hand up my top feeling them.

    You should probably try and kick that habit, anyway.

    I've never heard of this or experienced it; I have some cellulite but not like you're describing. Interested to hear other experiences.

    HA! I've caught myself waiting in the grocery line playing with my "fluffy" sides. Then going, oops, did anyone notice? Hey, it's better than farting in line.
    I went to Macy's and bought a nice stretch waist undergarment to wear out. I'm old, so likely they won't go away. It's my stomach area, but I've had kids.

    Squishy fat? It's a phenomenon. Check this out.

    I don't get the squishy fat described here, but I get melty fat (that's what I call it). I'll just look like a melting candle for a week or a few days, then things even out again.

    When I'm getting leaner and my weight has stalled for a while, the texture of the fat under the skin feels like small marbles. I'm fairly sure there are many old threads on here and 50% of people get them and the others have no experience of it.

    Not sure on large craters though.

    I guess I feel those marbles too. I just thought it was normal. Like what your body should feel like when it's not covered in fat.

    I have spectacular stretch marks which go deep, so I'm used to my tummy feeling lumpy anyway. Possibly if I had this I wouldn't notice it.
