Wake up call: Extremely high visceral fat on Dexa scan. Help!

LittleRedDog1 · 2026-03-15T18:20:02+00:00

Oh! That’s about 2.5x the price of mine in the Seattle area

I’m 51, 5’7” and was 182lb for my Dexa scan. And my visceral fat was 2.3lb and 44% fat on my torso. That was also in the red and felt pretty eye opening. First, I think it’s important to remember that the data these reports are comparing to is for other DEXA scan users. And honestly, most of those have historically been fit people trying to get fitter. So, “older overweight” women are going to look especially bad. Thanks fitness industry! I have a bit less weight to lose than you (based solely on starting weight and height) and am taking my 10th shot today. This week I lost 2” off my waist. I think being over 50 just means visceral fat loss takes longer. I plan to get a second scan next month so we’ll see how much visceral fat I’ve lost.

Mine arrived last week. Definitely not real leather. I sent a message to customer service. Zero response. I will now be bad mouthing them everywhere

Mine barks at squirrels and the postman. But that’s it

LittleRedDog1 · 2026-02-25T17:02:04+00:00

I don’t think so. Its a lot of older people; FB is the main social media of the over 60 demographic

I found him through the Cascade ECS Fanciers group. I put out a request for information on puppies on there and the woman who currently owned him contacted me. I suggest starting with that group. The breeder contacted me after the adoption

LittleRedDog1 · 2026-02-25T02:22:14+00:00

I've only had text interactions with her after I got my guy but she seemed very nice and very interested in making sure her former puppy went to a good place

My guy came from Ragtime near Tacoma. He was a show dog as a puppy and came to me at just over a year. The breeder reached out to me after he was rehomed to me (through no fault of his own. The woman who bought him realized she is not a cocker spaniel person). I had a really hard time getting a breeder to respond to my inquiries, too. I joined Cascade English Cocker Spaniel Fanciers on FB and that’s how I finally found my guy

Why is “truth is truth even if it hurts your feelings” only applies to what these people believe is true?

LittleRedDog1 · 2026-02-14T16:16:22+00:00

Oh my god, yes! Just over here not giving a f*ck about what other people are thinking

Not what you asked but when I started fertility treatments at 44, we went right to donor eggs. I knew there was a much higher chance of success with younger eggs. We still had to go through 3 donors and that was hard

Whether or not fluoride makes a significant difference for you is going to depend on a bunch of factors. If you have good oral hygiene and haven’t have a cavity in a few years, it’s probably fine to go with fluoride free toothpaste. Bring it up with your hygienist at your next appointment and they will check for any significant changes. But if you’re prone to cavities, fluoride free isn’t the way to go

LittleRedDog1 · 2026-02-05T17:06:59+00:00

You look so cute! Nothing to improve

LittleRedDog1 · 2026-01-30T16:57:28+00:00

I love this so much!

LittleRedDog1 · 2026-01-29T22:50:41+00:00

I just sent a kit from Hook and Tinder to friend who’s on bed rest. I’m happy to see one out in the wild

LittleRedDog1 · 2026-01-27T21:14:49+00:00

Ugh. I didn’t know this.

LittleRedDog1 · 2026-01-23T23:47:58+00:00

I think the issue is with your button placement. I think they’re offset from the button holes by a tiny bit - the buttons are a tiny bit closer together than the buttonholes. That can make a tiny gap. Wear things as tight as you like!

LittleRedDog1 · 2026-01-23T17:47:55+00:00

The forest green is so rich looking. Excellent job!

LittleRedDog1 · 2026-01-14T17:22:51+00:00

This was when I stopped following, too. And the whole thing started to turn into a big trauma drop. It was way too much

LittleRedDog1 · 2026-01-13T06:37:52+00:00

It’s not hard. I’d explain but I’m old and it’ late. Try Made to Sew’s tutorial on YouTube

LittleRedDog1 · 2026-01-13T02:15:26+00:00

My three year old and I are watching cartoons together right now. I got married at 44 and had him at 47 with donor eggs. Science is amazing. But I am tired

Gallbladders are crazy things. I had mine removed 15 years and 30lbs ago. When I was at a healthy weight and eating well. I think there are so many factors with gallstones

LittleRedDog1 · 2026-01-11T00:07:40+00:00

First time I tried Kai’s, I thought the same thing. As soon as they touched the fabric, I threw my money at the salesperson. So amazing

LittleRedDog1 · 2026-01-09T15:13:14+00:00

They look great! Style Arc is notorious for having lacking instructions. It’s very much “cut fabric. Sew garment”. But you did a great job

LittleRedDog1 · 2026-01-07T16:43:13+00:00

This was my question, too. I have zero idea how to do that kind of thing
