Candyflip's DEXA scan Sept 2011

Fatty
Dudes/ettes,

I've been meaning to get a DEXA for ages, and wish I'd been able to have one 20 years ago for the comparison I could have made.
For you young 'uns on this board - I highly recommend you shell the $80 for this now, as you'll have a fantastic time-capsule record for yourselves in 20 years time.

Mine was done on Wednesday in Little Collins Street, Melbourne, at BodyScan.

3 minutes on the table revealed this:

page 1 (these are huge jpeg's - if they open in your browser small, and you can't read them, right click and save them to your hard drive, then open with your default picture viewer)
page 2
page 3

* I'm .2cm shorter than I was 10 years ago - and yes, I'm shrinking in height.
* I'm 2.6kgs heavier than I was 3 years ago.
* My fat weight (%) is very close to what it was when measured by caliper in late March 2011, despite eating 500-1000 calories more each day since about the same time. So the 'fat shakes' don't appear to be adding much fat - of course, I'm running 2-3 times a week now that I wasn't in March, April or May.
* I was kinda hoping for an overall lower fat % - I guess I vainly believed I could come in sub-14. Not even close.
* My calves look big and my thighs look tiny - this probably reflects reality. :)
* I have hips! Who woulda known it... Beyonce would be jelly.

In summary, go get one of these - painless, cheap and informative.
 
ive been holed up at home for the last week with a back injury and i was gonna book myself in for one of these today, shoulda done it. would have been interesting to compare to you as im same height , 71kg but age 32

Yeah, I saw that too - talking to the receptionist who took mine, I doubt this indicator is anywhere near close to reality. I had to book 2 weeks ahead.
 
Very interesting to see how much info they give you. Thx for posting this Candy Man. Bit hard to read some of it on the iPhone, but did I read correctly u have 24% BF in your head? Is that normal?! :confused::D

Stick the earphones in and bop your heard furiously for at least 30 minutes.

I recommend Nana's classic 1976 album "Passport".

Good luck man, and post photos when you're happy with your ripped head.
 
Candy i think it makes your ass and calves and arms look bigger because they are being squashed , you were lying on your back correct???

Thats interesting info but thanks for posting..

I guess brisbane would be the closest place for me to get one done..too far!.
 
I have had 2 scans done and got 2 different results for fat mass in the head. At the end of a bulk I had an extra 1.5kg of fat on my head. I don't feel any smarter lol, so I'd say it was the neck
