After a lifetime of battling the bulge, I knew that getting into shape wasn’t just about willpower—it was about science. Like many of us, I had faced the dreaded “weight wall” multiple times. Every time I hit 170 lbs, progress seemed to grind to a halt. Frustration set in as I struggled to understand whether my efforts were truly making a difference.
Having been in shape before, I wasn’t a stranger to fitness. I knew what needed to be done, but every time I reached my target weight, the familiar plateau appeared. Despite following all the right steps—eating right, exercising regularly—something was missing. It was as if my body had a secret I couldn’t uncover.
Then, I discovered the power of DEXA scans and VO2 max testing. These remarkable tests provided a detailed breakdown of body composition and cardiovascular fitness, revealing not just weight but also the proportion of muscle and fat, as well as my aerobic capacity. I decided to track my progress with regular scans, hoping to finally solve the mystery of my stubborn plateau.
With each scan, the picture became clearer. Around 170 lbs, I realized I was losing more muscle than fat. No wonder my progress always stalled! Armed with this new insight, I adjusted my workout and nutrition plan accordingly. The results were astonishing: for the first time, I broke through the wall and started building lean muscle while shedding excess fat.
Moreover, by tracking my VO2 max, I saw myself getting fitter and more capable. I went from never running to completing a half marathon under 2 hours and hiking to Panorama Ridge. Knowing my VO2 max helped me understand what was actually improving my fitness.
I was inspired. If a DEXA scan and VO2 max testing could help me, it could help anyone. Driven by the desire to empower others with the same life-changing insights, I founded BodyStats on Carrall Street, right here in Vancouver.
