• In 2025, I got 3 body composition analyses at the athletic club Life Time.
• The scans helped me track my progress in losing fat and building muscle.
• I lost over five pounds and 7% of my body fat mass by making simple changes, such as taking more walks.

At the start of 2025, I knew I wanted to lose a little body fat. I just didn't want to be miserable doing it.
