@totlanh Call them! They literally JUST moved to their W John Street location (as in, 2 days ago) and they are running special pricing that's significantly lower than anything posted anywhere online, including on Groupon.

@dasiebe01 Thanks so much :) That's basically exactly what the lady who did my scan said yesterday, haha! She said I was smack inside the healthy range for a 30-year old. I had my Dexa done in Seattle and honestly have nothing but glowing things to say about DexaFit Seattle. Great people...

@shoeshavetongues I really tried to prepare, I really did. But honestly...I didn't anticipate that the Navy BF test would be off by a 33% margin of error on me. Or that a bioimpedence at my gym, which we all know is bunk, would have overshot my lean mass by a whopping 25 pounds(!) That...

I thought I responded to comment asking about DEXA accuracy and then it disappeared. I'm just full of Monday-fail FWIW, I measure 20% on the US Navy calculator, which definitely skewed my expectations: http://fitness.bizcalcs.com/Calculator.asp?Calc=Body-Fat-Navy Yes, DEXA is the most...

@ove21 Totally reasonable question, I'm an open book! I think the short answer is that I am viewing my training as a very long improvement season and my first goal is to reach a healthy BMI and body fat levels. my training approach is very dynamic (adjusted weekly) and my body is responding...

@akaya Thank you so much!

@bubblegum2021 Awesome, thank you for pointing me to that resource :) I have noticed there's some vegetarian ladies here who smash their protein goals.

@bubblegum2021 Hey, sorry if my post was confusing. When I was thinking about things in the semi-recent past that could affect where my bodyfat is today, one former factor was prior vegetarian diet and prior protein intake. I was vegetarian as teenager and again for about 6 months last year...

@dawn16 Amazed I've never snapped one!

@bubblegum2021 Also, related kind of. I did receive confirmation yesterday that I have large bones. I'm 1.6 standard deviations above the mean skeletal weight by height. But for a 5.8 and 1/2 inch woman? That's 6 pounds total of bone. Cannot stop laughing.

@aeromorg Thanks! And yup, just a number. still fitter than ever. Best of luck in smashing your goals!

@cagepatin76 I do feel more energetic, but I think that has more to do with the fact I'm no longer under eating or under eating protein than being a meat eater. :/

@mauddib You're welcome! There is actually another dexa posted in the archives here from a woman within a half inch of my height and a pound or two of my weight and nearly identical body fat also :) I am currently driving home from the gym but will p.m. you a link when I'm back to my laptop

@mauddib You're welcome! And that's remarkably strong. Wow. Posted a clothed picture below since the check-in pictures for my coach are definitely honest but don't necessarily reflect how I look in day-to-day life.

@mauddib Oh, makes sense regarding sweatshirt. You're definitely an hourglass/x shape. Your shoulders and forearms are goals, you look so strong and I never would have ever guessed that you weigh what you do... definitely appears 20 pounds less. And that's exactly what the dexa tech said, too...

@mauddib Holy cow, you've made an amazing transformation to go from 320 to 176! Congrats on so much hard work. May I comment that it seems that we have some similarities in weight distribution, in terms of broad shoulders and strong arms and apple shape at high weight?

@mauddib

@mauddib Yup quite a few comments from women in our range (which is tall for women I encounter in the real world in the US)!

@mauddib Oh my gosh, stat twin! Did you see the recent post from a woman of our approximate stats, perhaps 10 days ago? Congrats on your transformation! You have halved yourself. I feel my stomach looks fairly average for being 18 months postpartum (which I am), so I'm proud of how far I've...

As I was doing my recumbent bike LISS tonight, my forearm vein appeared to be starting to pop so I thought I'd share because I felt proud of that visible sign of progress. Nothing unusual today in terms of caffeine, carbs or supplements (132 grams clean carbs, a cup or two of coffee, a...
