r/PetiteFitness 5ft2 102lb; scan same day as second photo taken that morning; age unstated but clearly adult-presenting

Second scan from same post: mid-May photo with scan taken around that time; 19.5 rounds half-up to bucket 20; age unstated but adult-presenting

5ft2 116lb, Pilates/strength; recently had a DEXA so timing soft; sports-bra torso photo; age unstated but adult-presenting

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.
