    Bad follow up dexa scan, where to go from here

    @jamsie Right so my comment was that this information isn’t coming from people I feel have the credentials to be giving it out with any reliable measure of accuracy, and I stand by that. Outside of hydrostatic weighing and MRIs (which are available in very few places for the purpose of elective...

    Bad follow up dexa scan, where to go from here

    @jamsie ?? Is there no one running the machine? Doing maintenance/calibration? Edit since you edited your comment which was previously just “It’s a computer program” idk where you live but you absolutely have to have certification in my state to use both x-ray and CT scan machinery.

    Inbody and fat

    @nguyentrongphuoc I honestly really doubt your body fat percentage is that low, you would be very visibly lean. These scans are notoriously inaccurate. That said, if you’re looking for a more “firm” appearance it would not be a bad idea to increase your intake a bit and do some resistance training.

    Bad follow up dexa scan, where to go from here

    @mellerd OP’s body fat is objectively not 31%. I would bet anything on it. I’ve said it under other posts, these scans are not reliable and they’re not even being done by anyone I would consider sufficiently credentialed to be giving out this kind of information.

    Women who don’t bloat / gain weight / feel weak before or during their periods…

    @freds I bloat a little before my period and I’m likely to want to catch an afternoon nap the first couple days of my period but I don’t feel different with respect to how much I can lift at any point in my cycle. The only thing I think I do that’s even a little bit different than some other...

    Vent …. I feel hopeless

    @stevensloan Do you track your food? Once you know what you eat on a regular basis, you can start finding ways to increase your intake without eating until you feel sick. Even adding 100 calories a day to your maintenance can help you put on 10 lbs within a year. That's just one tablespoon of...

    Sometimes…it just comes down to grit🤷🏾‍♀️

    @jodi1028 I love that for her, but that still doesn't give her the right to make sweeping generalizations about other people and their situations. In America especially, obesity is very much a systemic issue and I think we aren't doing anybody any favors when we try to alienate those affected by...

    Sometimes…it just comes down to grit🤷🏾‍♀️

    @jodi1028 I think what a lot of us are dealing with is influencer fatigue. These are now people whose entire lives/careers revolve around their bodies looking a certain way, so it's kind of impossible to not roll our eyes when they make it out like everyone else who doesn't look like them just...

    @mustang4christ Take 5’s are so chaotic lol but I get the vibe. Have you tried the Justin’s peanut butter cups? The chocolate is so dense, it has changed everything I thought I knew.

    Weight lifting makes me irritable (but running doesn’t)

    @hopeeternal Ultimately whatever you can stick with long term is going to mean better results. Also, I’m just not a proponent of doing things that make you miserable when alternatives are available.

    Period cravings: I just ate 4 chocolate bars and I’m ok with it

    @marks1mpson Absolutely. Good chocolate exists in the US but you have to intentionally seek it out. Maybe helps me watch my weight but, tragic nonetheless.

    Period cravings: I just ate 4 chocolate bars and I’m ok with it

    @marks1mpson Are you a UK girlie? We don’t have Twirls in the US…I could probably find them online…much to think about. Honestly though I’m willing to book a flight solely for a bag of Milkybar Buttons, I need them 🤲🏽
