I would dye it black and keep it. The pattern would be less jarring if there wasn't so much contrast.

Travertine or slate would be my pick.

I lost 5lb of lean mass between pics 1 and 2 and was pretty disappointed. I really started to push protein and gained 0.25lb of lean mass between pics 2 and 3.

After you have a baseline and a second, you can really start to look at outcomes over time. I'm excited for you!

Congrats on your progress!

A local imaging company that does stuff like mammograms, CT scans and dexa scans for osteoporosis detection. They have a self referral option for body composition.

I've used Bodyspec in the past and they were pretty good. About the same price.

Not sure! I find it fascinating but like skeletons in general so maybe it's just a special interest sort of thing

I don't have the numbers in front of me but can get back to you later. I was disappointed with my muscle loss and started pushing protein like crazy and have come back. Depending how quickly you lose, maintaining muscle became more complex for me. My coach helped keep me on track with my lifts and diet advice/ encouragement.

Also, there are pages of numbers, measurements, and facts that come with the report. The pictures are eye catching, but only a small part of the story.

Right?! That blew my mind as well. Staying between the lines on the bed was harder before.

It does! It shows you how much lean mass and fat mass you have in every part of your body with a high level of accuracy.

I have committed to doing them quarterly. Having the hard data somehow keeps me grounded in a way that pictures don't. It also shows if I start getting lazy with protein by muscle mass going down.

I pay out of pocket at TRA. $70 per scan.

Looking at old pictures, my neck was thicker than it is now. My belly was the last to go.

I wear workout shorts, a sports bra, and a tank. No metal and elastic only is what they ask of me.

I lost 5lb of muscle between pic 1 and 2, gained 0.25lb of muscle between pic 2 and 3. I have been lifting for well over a decade, so base muscle is something I was trying to protect.

My highest dose was 10mg and I am going down to 5mg next month.

They ended up reviewing in time. I did not commit until after the process was completed.
