You said you got an email for a free scan, but then you said how much they cost (which still seems like a good deal compared to an MRI) It all seems like good news. I'm curious how they can tell how many calories you need.debbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17967505760808535408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3067665701316634699.post-3813538811652443702018-12-14T09:05:07.168-06:002018-12-14T09:05:07.168-06:00I suspect you're hearing about them because th...I suspect you're hearing about them because they did a blogger review rollout. And on the muscle imbalance, as my tech explained, if it's not much, especially in the arms, it's simply because of whatever hand you write with. He said I should be sure to put as much effort into using weights with the other arm as I do with the dominant one; that's a little harder because my right shoulder is cranky due (I suspect) to having broken my upper arm when I was a kid.<br /><br />I think the leg thing will resolve eventually - but it will be interesting to see if that really happens when I do the next scan.<br />Shelleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05890227462052573887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3067665701316634699.post-1216554527543794682018-12-14T07:12:32.728-06:002018-12-14T07:12:32.728-06:00Man these things must be getting popular!

I am a number nerd so I'm not sure what I would do with this info but I guess it's nice to think over! Oh and it seems like everyone else who reviewed this also had a muscle imbalance. I wonder if that is a common thing kind of like when they say no ones feet are exactly the same size?Fairytales and Fitnesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11771224209536216240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3067665701316634699.post-55865739106037322662018-12-13T18:17:28.698-06:002018-12-13T18:17:28.698-06:00I was just happy to see that I don't have dust...I was just happy to see that I don't have dust for bones, LOL.Shelleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05890227462052573887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3067665701316634699.post-78105027579464897722018-12-13T18:16:49.037-06:002018-12-13T18:16:49.037-06:00The technician said that getting a second scan is ...The technician said that getting a second scan is what most people do, especially if they're working on changes.Shelleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05890227462052573887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3067665701316634699.post-15414347361204542292018-12-13T11:52:56.371-06:002018-12-13T11:52:56.371-06:00Very cool.
