Just wanted to say — for anyone reading this DEXA before/after thread who is feeling discouraged: it gets better. The first month are the hardest. Hang in there. 💪
Adding my data to this DEXA before/after anyone discussion:

Reading this thread on DEXA before/after anyone hits close to home. Dad of 2 checking in — I started at 293 lbs and felt like I would tried everything.
9 months on tirz and I am a different person. Not just the 68 lbs lost — my energy, my mood, my relationship with food. All transformed.
If you are on the fence about DEXA before/after — take the leap. It was the best health decision I have ever made. ❤️
