I've traditionally done calipers but I'm interested in trying out a dexa scan.

I look in a mirror.

I do a Dexa every quarter just for the hell of it. Have one tomorrow actually. Most recent was 16% in Sept.

Abdomen at the navel and neck measurements. Plug it into some onlime Navy calculator.
May not be the most accurate, but the trend and the mirror are all I really care about.

My scale tracks mine. I've had it tested and my scale shows ~2% lower than I am, but whatever. Just use it to track the trend.

I recently bought a caliper but haven’t used it yet. I think I’m too scared I know what I want the results to be, and I’m not sure I’m there yet.

If you’re used to doing calipers then a DEXA scan will humble you lol. Just don’t go into one with high expectations.

Doesn't matter what it is. All inaccurate. Just use a trend line.

Did a styku at my gym for a 5 week challenge...it said I was at 24.9....will do the end of challenge scan on Monday. I did isagenix, quit drinking, and worked out 6 days a week....I did have a little slip up on a work trip where I drank 3 nights...we will see where it is at on Monday but I've dropped about 10 lbs....the scan said I need to drop 17 to get to 17 percent body fat and I would reach my goal by mid march with current calorie intake and exercise routine...seems spot on with my weight loss
