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.

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. ❤️
