I don't see me going so light that my face cheeks draw in and everyone starts to say I look sick. (even thou I would probably feel great).

For those that have been cycling a while and are fit and trim and really lean, will the belly fat ever go away and what BMI might that be if relavant?

The belly fat and love handles are the last the go. It's about the only extra I currently carry but it just never seems to go away. I'm about as fit as you can get and would love for that stuff to disappear but it just loves hanging around.
