DEXA VERIFIED · SCAN IN POST
petite female 146 to 117-120 lbs; DEXA provider app result card in post shows body fat 17.9 dated 11/11/25, same day as post; before-after photos, right one current; age unstated but adult
loseit; 5ft8 female, ~478lb start, lost ~300lb; InBody said 17.8% same day, DEXA came back 17.4%; sports-bra mirror physique photo included; poster disputes the value
40F stated; OP: DEXA came back at 17 percent body fat at ~188 lbs after 300+ lb loss (loose skin); photo tied by OP to that scan - sports-bra mirror selfie imgur cUCN3CA, verified loading; imgur re-triage find
40F AMA in r/Semaglutide; post body states first DEXA came back 17 percent at ~188 lb and links the contemporaneous photo in the same sentence (imgur cUCN3CA, sports bra + leggings, mirror selfie, live, dated Dec 2023); an OP comment later recalls 18 percent - discrepancy noted, primary post-body figure recorded; found via OP-comment pass; withdrew female_17 exhausted_reddit + complete
31F stated; DEXA taken the day of posting gave 19.6; current physique photo taken about one week earlier at 97-99 lb, so scan-vs-photo gap is short but not exact; earlier 24.5 figure was InBody and is not used; incidental out-of-bucket find
F28, 5ft5, 119 lb, 19% BF by DXA in March; poster states the linked photos are from January and that she is probably slightly leaner now. Flagged only for that roughly two-month photo-to-scan gap. Throwaway account.
22F, 5ft5, 130 lb, measured in a study by three methods. DEXA: 19.7% whole body including head, 19.4% excluding head - the whole-body figure is recorded here. BodPod 18.4% and TANITA 27.2% are not used (non-qualifying methods). Photos linked in the same post.
33F 5ft4 141.5 lb, r/xxfitness; linked imgur album dexa-photos-CJpap shows the BodySpec printout with Measured Date 11/16/2017, Total Body Fat 19.1 percent and Total Mass 143.2 lb, followed by contemporaneous mirror physique photos in a sports bra and shorts with the face cropped out, SFW; album verified loading 2026-08-11
22F 5ft5 130 lb powerlifter, r/Fitness, crossposted by the same author from r/xxfitness; states DEXA 19.4 percent without head and 19.7 percent with head, the total-body figure 19.7 recorded per ruling and rounding half-up to bucket 20; BodPod 18.4 and Tanita BIA figures also given but not counted; linked imgur album dexa-bodpod-jldhb shows the printout, the DEXA body images and contemporaneous mirror physique photos in a sports bra and shorts, SFW, verified loading 2026-08-11
