DXA scans are available (in the US at least) from people like BodySpec. When I started a weight loss program I found the DXA scan to be the most helpful data in terms of understanding how things were changing given my changes in diet and exercise regimen. I tend to be somewhat data driven :-) and that definitely scratched the data itch. It also gave me a better target (body fat % / adipose tissue target) to go for rather than a specific body weight. In the past it has always seemed arbitrary to me that someone "should" weigh, X pounds given their height.
