Yeah, clothes make no difference for this type of an X-ray scan. It sees right through clothes like they aren't even there.

Ok, I got my DEXA scan done today. Bottom line. Body fat came in at 12.9%. For comparison purposes, the scale I've been using said 15.5% bodyfat this morning so that's a pretty significant difference if you ask me. I bought a package of 4 of these scans so the real test will be the next scan to...

There's a lot of truth to that. When I was living in North Carolina, I remember having short sleeves on in the 50's all the time. Now that I've been in Orlando for 20 years, the house feels absolutely freezing inside at any temp below 67 degrees.

Relying on that bathroom scale isn't working because I can tell I've lost some fat but the scale keeps saying the same 15% bodyfat number. Hey, maybe it's actually accurate, but I'm going to find out for sure. I am scheduled to have a DEXA scan tomorrow afternoon to see where I stand. If that...

I think a little bit of both. I like the fact that it's not freezing cold here in the middle of winter but it does kind of suck to have days this hot because cooler days with highs in the 60's and 70's in Jan and Feb are what we look forward to all year.

I feel better. I can't say for certain if it's the NAD though. I also cleaned up my diet this past month so that could be a factor as well.

I'm not sure that would hold much water if the username/password was obtained by a hacker due to a data breach on IB's side.

I got laid that night so the meal and the enjoyment overall was definitely worth the temporary indulgence. :thumbsup: Now back to the original program... :D

Ok, so do you guys want the good news or the bad news first? Oh, the bad? Ok, well I've gained a few pounds since my last check-in. I went off the rails on Valentine's day with steak, lobster, baked potato, dessert, the whole 9. I knew my weight would go up strictly from indulging in the carbs...

Your recent threads are not deleted. They were moved to the Chit Chat forum. Not sure why you keep putting threads like this one in the Programming forum because they have zero to do with programming.

If you figure this out, I'd love to know what the problem was. Because it sounds like Citi is saying they can't find an intermediary bank for TIAA, but Citi is the intermediary bank!

I'm no expert but an ABA number for an international wire transfer is irrelevant. You would need to use the receiving bank's SWIFT code for a direct international transfer, not their ABA number. Also, I've had experiences where the bank person sending the wire screwed everything up because...

I went to pig island... or whatever you call it... in the Bahamas back in October. People think these things are like friendly pets but let me tell you, the only thing they want is for you to give them food. Period. You start treating them like your dog and you'll find out real fast, like that...

That just shows you how screwed up our society is. When most people view somebody in shape as looking sick, that's because they are so accustomed to seeing overweight people everywhere else.

Most lentils and beans have a low Glycemic load, so they would be fine for what I'm doing. I've used some black beans on occasion but that's about it.

Not really. Like I said, I still get carbs from non-starchy vegetables, and I have fruit with every meal as well. That equates to about 100g of carbs per day. I'm just trying to keep the glycemic load down as much as possible because it's hard to lose fat in the presence of elevated insulin...

That's basically what dieting is.

No. That hasn't been a concern of mine at all. I'm definitely weaker than normal because I'm keeping my carbs low. I haven't had any rice, potatoes, bread, etc. since I started this diet. My only source of carbs has been whatever carbs are in non-starchy vegetables and fruits like blueberries...
