DEXA SCAN on MONDAY!
As a birthday present to myself, I am having a DEXA scan on Monday. I want to know my body's composition and find my ideal weight range.
Right now, I am in maintenance. My body seems to like 165-170 pounds. My original goal is 160 pounds so after the DEXA scan, I will decide if I need to reset it.
I will follow up with the results.
Please let us know what you find out- I'm interested in having one also...

I had one on my birthday in April! It was really cool and I got a sense for where I'm at. I used it to check my goal weight and found that it's right on point at 140. Excited to see how yours turns out.

Have a safe weekend.Hi Gary,
Its original purpose was to check one's bone density/bone loss. Now, elite athletes and folks like us can have one to find out about our overall body fat and muscle percentages. According to others, it can give you an idea about your ideal body weight.
I want to see if I am in the ballpark or need to lose a few pounds.
