Second this.

Can confirm. Same sequence, different timescale. Posting only so the count is not one.

Bone density monitoring on lean mass: DEXA bone density at baseline and month 12.

Lumbar spine T-score: -0.11 → -0.6 (stable to slightly improved)
Femoral neck T-score: -0.11 → -0.7 (stable)

No significant bone loss despite 58 lbs of weight loss. Key factors: adequate calcium (1200mg/day), vitamin D (5000 IU/day), resistance training 3x/week, and adequate protein. Weight-bearing exercise is critical for maintaining bone density during rapid weight loss.

OMG yes. lean mass + resistance training is the combo. Can confirm.

Moderator note: the sourcing question belongs in the vendor section and has been split out.
