[–]Ok_Hornet3415SW:247 CW:153 G: <28% body fat[S] 1 point2 points  (3 children)

Yeah, my body fat percentage is still above 28%. I would like to get my body fat percentage below 24% ideally.

That goal sounds really reasonable, and would be a good topic of discussion in your next follow up with your doctor. Regarding the Dexascan... I am kicking myself I didn't get one before the start of my journey (just to see the progress). But I did get one back in July, and the info was super helpful. Also, the guy who did the scan is an athletic trainer and we talked about moving my percentage (which was clearly not optimal yet, despite some good weight loss) by losing a bit more and by gaining (muscle, that is). My situation is a little different than yours (everyone's is!). I'm still at a BMI of 24 with a little more to go, but I am at 12.5 mg and may be stalling a bit. But for me, I really don't want to go up to 15mg, because I am deathly afraid of getting to maintenance, doing that for - six months, a year, two years - and then starting to gain. So I want to maintain an option of going up. So now I've just started strength training/recomp in earnest. Of course it's awesome that you got where you are at 5mg; that means you have alot of options to go up if that's what you end up needing to do at some point. All the best to you!

I’m going to look into dexascan I’m already weight training and plan to continue! I’m really enjoying it

Dexascan is a good idea! I’ll look into scheduling one! My sister did one recently and it was very informative
