DEXA SCAN!!!

That's where I'm at! I feel like I will never get to goal and when Pam posted about her friend saying she was happy at her current weight even though Pam knows she isn't, it got me scared!! I don't want to settle. I'm excited by my success so far, but I'm in one of my slow loss stages, and I always get scared by that.

It is scary when the weight stops dropping daily, and then we have to wait for it.

But you aren't like my friend... you have instilled good habits and you are working hard. She never really ever figured out the diet thing, and chose to ignore any suggestions we've given her. You are NOT that person!

I suspect you'll be at goal long before you consider giving up and settling!

Looks like thigh gap to me! So freaking awesome!

I'm getting mine done next Wednesday. I can't wait! :D

And I feel you on the bones. I'm surprised my clavicles and os coxae aren't permanently bruised.

So glad you had it done! Interesting that they mentioned that the fat percentage included excess skin.

Sounds like you are overall happy you went. Gives you a framework to put your brain around.

Yay for thigh gap!!

Well they didn't offer up that information... I asked. Honestly I'm not sure she was 100% sure about her answer... but I'm taking it none the less. And it does make sense.

Wow: You are doing phenomenal! What great information. I'm going to do it (with the RMR). I'll have to schedule it in the morning and tank up with coffee later...

Screw bone density and being at a good LBM. Did I just hear thigh gap?!!! Wahhhhooooooo! Congrats girlie!

Haha, you ladies and your thigh gaps! As a guy, it's not something that's really on my radar, but after all this discussion I had to go take a look t my scan....and I present to you...thigh gap:

I case you're wondering, that blue square is my shiny new hip.

I'd also like everyone to take a look at my seriously messed up knees. This is the absolute best image to explain to people why I can't sleep on my side without a pillow between my knees. You see those massive lumps on the inside of my knees? Yeah, and with essentially ZERO fat on them, those bones just press right up against one another. Painful!

I almost can't tell whether to greet you or say goodbye. LOL. Look at your feet. It almost looks as if you're laying face down, but I know you're laying on your back! Ouchy on your knobby knees!
