You guys are great. You really inspire me. I need to lose weight too. I love how honest and candid you are. It's refreshing
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed watching and found it motivating! 💕 You can do it! If we can do it, anyone can!
Thank you for ACCURATE Full Body DEXA Scan Body Fat Percentage
Thank you
That is so neat, Mrs. Hercules! 🥰 I love watching your and Mike's progress. Y'all are so funny together. 💜
Thank you Janet! 🥰💕
I look forward to seeing your progress! My husband worked really hard to lose 75 lbs this year, and the changes are more than physical. It will be difficult, but don't give up!
Thank you! We have already started to see changes in our lab results so I can only imagine what they will look like after the weight loss too! 💕
I’ve never heard of this scan. Very cool.
Always good to have a starting point.
Thank you Annette! I read up on a bunch of full body scans and this is supposed to be one of the most accurate. I was surprised to find one fairly close to us! As much as I would have loved to wait until after we reach our goals to get the scan done, like I've seen others do, I felt like I really needed to see where we were starting in order to know that this lifestyle is right for us!
Hello MS. Andrea & Mr. Mike, WOW, that is interesting information. Keep up the great work! Love the bloopers. TFS! Blessings to you my friends. ✝🙏🏼💕
Thank you Cynthia! I'm glad we decided to do it, it will certainly provide us with a better picture of how we're improving with time!
I’m sure you’ve already made progress! Keep it up! Love the bloopers! “Menches”🤣🤣
According to the scale and my measurements I have! From this point forward it will be undeniable because I'll be able to compare scans! 😁💕
Lol, I'm glad you enjoyed watching! 🤣🔧
Thank you for sharing! I take myself way too seriously (I'm working on it) your ability to laugh like you do helps me.
We look forward every opportunity to smile and laugh. We have been handed some difficult cards in life but staying positive helps us to get over every hurdle! 💕
I do body scans a few times a year to check in! Way to go on your journey, you got this!
That's awesome! I wish I had some past scans to compare to. We'll definitely start doing them occasionally now! Thank you!
@DiggingForHealth it'll be fun to see your progress in numbers as you transform! Omgosh I was dying at your menches comment 😂😂😂
Excited for the transformation, I'll be joining you on the journey. ❤
Thank you! Good luck to you as well!
Hey there my friend. I just finished you ALL playlist Digging For Health 200 / 200. You have super great content. I pray you have continued success on YT. Take care and God Bless
Oh my goodness, thank you so very much! I will be sure to return to do the same for you! I appreciate you so much! 💕
no one has ever wanted that many pictures of my body!!!! ahhaaha
🤣🤣🤣 LOL!! I can't say I was too trilled with the result of that many pictures of my body either, haha, BUT I haven't missed my morning walk since having this done! 😂
Good on you guys, pretty intimidating but gotta be awesome value.
Cool to have a baseline and great to confirm Mike being on the right track !!
Really impressive muscle mass for both of you 🤜🤛
Cheers 🌱🤞👍😊
Pelvis looks like a wrench 😂😂😂
Yes, a little intimidating but I'm really glad we did it! 😆🔧
This was really awesome! I've never done the Dexa scan but I've done the bod pod scan & it's really similar. It was very enlightening. I can't wait to see the follow up scans & the progress.
Awesome job friends & keep up all the awesome work 👏 🖤🙌
It's supposed to be similar to the Bod Pod, those look like little ejection pods though, lol! I can't wait to see what future scans show!
@@DiggingForHealth they so do look like ejection pods! I had the same thought 😂
I’ve never heard of this scan, but it seems so interesting! I can see how it would be really helpful for tracking progress. It sounds like you both have made a lot of amazing changes already! I’m sure even if it takes a while to show up in the scan, making healthy lifestyle changes is already helping.
Absolutely! We've already seen changes in our lab results, so we know it's just a matter of time for the rest to follow. 😊
This is an amazing journey you're on. It's frustrating how fast men can loose weight sometimes ahahah. You got this
Thank you! I've seriously been shocked at how well he's doing. He was fighting for his life this time last year and he has improved so much in such a short period of time!
Great video and detail!! Healthy bones, lots of muscle! All great things!!
I actually wish we had done it sooner for Mike! He's made so much progress, I feel like his would have been a big difference. We already know he's reversing his fatty liver disease from ultrasounds. I'm glad we finally got it done though!
@@DiggingForHealth so amazing!!!
You are great, good luck and looking forward to seeing progress
Thank you! Me too! I can't wait to see what our next scan shows! Hopefully all really great news for both of us! 🤞
This was awesome!! And heyyy maybe I’m fit underneath all of this too! Lol 😂I need to have this done to see how scientifically fat I am too Andrea! This is motivating to hear! I need to eat my veggies and “lots of them” too! 😂❤ you guys are so fun I always enjoy hearing your banter! So glad you kept the end of this! 😂
Well it sure has been motivating since seeing the results at least! I have been walking every single day since doing this, lol! 🤣 I'm so glad you enjoyed watching! Thank you!
🤣🙈I love you guys ❤!! Y'all got this!!
Lol, Thank you Jamie! 😁💕
Keep up the great work!
Thank you!
Great video thanks for sharing this ❤🎉
Thank you for watching!
I wonder if I am a body builder under all my fat too. 😀Love the bloopers at the end.
Lol! You never know until you check. 😆 Thank you for watching!
Scientifically proven! Lol! 😂😂 Y’all are awesome!
🤣 lol! I'm officially a CERTIFIED fat friend. I have papers to prove it!
Interesting. Did you request the Dexa via your primary care doctor, or from an independent? That would be cool for me and my husband to get done together. I'm going to look into that. Thanks for sharing. What? He's 10 1/2 years older. Cradle robber (kidding). LOL. You make a cute couple. And honey, those pictures of you were fabulous! You were a knock-out!!!
Many DEXA scans are available independently without needing to involve a doctor but if you actually needed one for your bones, it might be something that insurance would cover. They can be pricey depending on where you live, I was pleasantly surprised to see that is was $65 locally (the lowest price I've seen) but I believe $99 is common. So just be prepared for possible sticker shock.
Haha, yes he's much older but we met at work and he didn't have a clue how old I was. 🤣 I did all of the wooing, he tried to resist for a long time, lol!
Aw shucks, you made me blush. 😊Thank you so much, that's very kind of you to say! I hope she's still tucked away underneath all of this fluff, lol!
Interesting scans. Never heard of it
I learned about it through some fitness channels that Mike watches and I was like, we need to do that Mike! I think most people do it when they're bodybuilding or checking for osteoporosis but I'm just looking forward to getting one next year to really see how much I've improved. 😁💕
Great job, you two ❤
How many months will you wait until you do a second scan?
I've had bone scans before and laid on a table with the wand going over me. But mine was just for bone density
I see success in your future 👌
I'm not positive but probably in 6 months? Unless we have really dramatic changes sooner, then we might go as soon as 3 months out.
I wonder if they used a DEXA machine for you too and just only shared the bone density results!
Thank you for being here, Peggy!
@DiggingForHealth I know the Rx order I get from my Primary Care Doctor says DEXA, but there's something after it that I don't remember.
6 months sounds like a good plan
Long enough to show positive results, but not so long that you lose interest. 183 days! Think about my recycling challenge...26 weeks 👍
You're a little Hercules!
Hercules, Hercules!! lol, Somewhere under there I am, I just need to dig her out.
@@DiggingForHealth it was interesting. They used to do a muscle to body fat in a water tank thing back in the 90s I think it was. I wanted to have it done but couldn't afford to.
@@zaneymay I remember seeing those! There is another one called the Bod Pod, you get inside of what looks like a giant egg, lol. Dexa scans are definitely on the expensive side but we were very fortunate that our local one is only $65.
Oh my god this is so cool and hmm 🤔 I wonder if we have that here in Canada 🇨🇦. 50% is giggly girl too 😂😂 your the best and fat is not always a bad thing keep that in mind. Now if you have bad joojoo in your body does it show that too? 4:08 we all knew Grunt was an android 😅😅 but it gives you a realistic view of what you need to do 👍. Always keep in mind you are most beautiful people and outward is not always the end goal but healthy and happy means a lot too ❤❤ eat your veggies 🥦 love you both, Ali 🇨🇦👍🇺🇸
Love a good wrench 😂in
I bet they have them in Canada too! The technology has been around for a while, they just keep improving it. I'm sure there are certain bad joojoo things that would show up but probably not anything that an X-ray wouldn't see. If I end up healthy with some left over fluff, I'm fine with that too. 😆
You're the best Ali! 💕💕💕
Lol!! An android with built in wrenches! 🤣🤖🔧
This is interesting. Does it tell you anywhere what your goal weight is? Dr. McDougall says women should be around 120 lbs, but I think this shows that it wouldn't work out for you even if you lost 100% fat. I'm I understanding that right?
It shows what you would weigh with zero body fat and mine says 129lbs with no fat at all. I'm 5' 3-3/4" tall so ideal weight is going to vary for everyone even when using a BMI scale. I will likely lose some muscle mass as I lose weight as well because my body won't need to hold up all of the fat anymore BUT I do have the advantage of knowing how much I weighed before. When I weighed 120lbs my bones were sticking out and it was too skinny for me but 130lbs looked healthy. That was prior to having a child and many other physical changes with age but I still anticipate 130lbs being pretty close to optimal for me. 😊
Thank you for watching and for the great comment! 💕
Most people just say I'm full of 💩
🤣 Well I have proof that's only a very small part of my problem. lol!
