Just wanted to say — for anyone reading this DEXA before/after thread who is feeling discouraged: it gets better. The first month are the hardest. Hang in there. 💪
Slightly tangential to DEXA before/after body but Dr.LipidDallas reminded me — does anyone have experience combining this with metformin?
I know it is not exactly on-topic but it seems related enough to ask here rather than starting a new thread. Apologies if this has been covered — I did search first.
Adding my data to this DEXA before/after body discussion:
| Metric | Baseline | Month 3 | Month 6 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Weight | 268 lbs | 248 lbs | 213 lbs |
| A1C | 7.2% | 5.8% | 5.2% |
| hsCRP | 7.0 | 2.0 | 1.0 |
Protocol: Semaglutide 2.4mg/wk, resistance training 3x/wk, protein 1.5g/kg/day.
Reading this thread on DEXA before/after body hits close to home. Night shift nurse — I started at 279 lbs and felt like I would tried everything.
15 months on tirz and I am a different person. Not just the 54 lbs lost — my energy, my mood, my relationship with food. All transformed.
If you are on the fence about DEXA before/after — take the leap. It was the best health decision I have ever made. ❤️
