What is your happy weight?

squishyjenn

Found this at self.com...its pretty neat and accurate! It put my happy weight as my goal weight

Editing to tell you how to measure your body frame:

wrap your thumb and your middle finger around your opposite wrist

If they overlap, you are a small frame
If they touch, you are a medium frame
if they do not touch, you are a large frame

WOW! Mine is so low..... it said 135, but I only want to get to 160.

My happy weight is my goal too : )

BethanyMasters

It put me between 132 and 138. I did mine with both a medium and large build because i'm not really sure what I am. I have pretty wide hips though.

So maybe I'm underestimating myself with a goal weight of 140?

Ah well. I figure if I get to 140 and I'm not liking what I see I can always lose a few more.

Hmm....I'm nearly 10 under my happy weight....is that bad?

Ashleypeterson37

Awesome! My goal is 150 and this site said my happy weight was 148! Perfect!

icerose137

It put me at 152.6. My first goal is 160 because I have absolutely no idea what my "happy" weight is.

I stayed at my "happy" weight at 135 for the last 6 months. For some reason I been told I look thinner but I think that is only the type of summer clothes and smaller sizes I bought. Still 135 and still same measurements. I could loose more but I am very continent with my level of eating. At least I haven't gained it back since Christmas.

What's your Happy Weight?

Try a smaller frame and remember it's the work of averages. There are plenty of people who will fall on both sides of the range.

Mine said I was too young (20) so I put 21 and it calculated it to be 136.5 which is close to my 140 goal! How silly that one year older makes a difference in whether I am "too young"

130. , I have been that weight and I was SO happy. I was fit, had mus-cles and felt fanTAStic!

I love that link though. Sometimes we have these goals we cannot achieve or shouldnt.

Healthy is what I am striving for!!

Good luck!!:flowerforyou:

Mine is lower then what trainer at gym said I should get down to.

aippolito1

140-145 is the last time I felt happy with my body because it was after I'd lost 30 lbs. This time I want to SURPASS that and get to 139. We'll see! But I think I'll be stoked just to get to 145 because it'll be familiar territory, y'know?

rissuhbissuh

I totally agree. I have no idea what my happy weight is. I am thinking I'll get to 140 and decide from there whether I find that too small or not small enough.

withchaco

Hahaha, mine is 113lbs, apparently! I am short (5' 1.5") and have a slender frame, but I don't think I want to be that light. We'll see, though. Maybe I do need to go down that low to get the abs I want...

chevy88grl

It said mine is 134lbs.

Not gonna happen.

I'm 144-145lbs right now and am content and happy with it.

I don't think I'd look good below 140lbs - I'd look too thin. Just my opinion.

Mine says 125. That actually sounds perfect!

mommyoftwins05

Mine says 119.2

My goal is 115

Bethany28

It told me 148.3.....which is close to my goal of 145!

Want to know the sad part? Last year when I decided to get healthy I got down to 147 in 3 months only to gain it all back. I was trying so hard to get to 125 because I thought that was where I needed to be. Turns out if I would have just accepted what my body was trying to tell me I wouldn't be trying so hard to lose weight right now. Instead I would be maintaining. Oh well, another life lesson. I turn 30 in December and I am going to work my butt off to get back down to 145-150 by then and then focus on maintaining!

kimi131

It said mine was 114.6. Yikes that's low. I was shootin' for 120-125. 114 seems so far away right now.

angie_roo

It said 147 for me. I'm aiming for 140 so it wasn't too far off.

dancer77

It said my happy weight was 114lbs. Pretty close to my goal...although i'd like to be lower but I'd totally take that

mzenzer

Mine is about 5 pounds lower then my goal weight. I can't imagine being 180 pounds but when crunching the numbers it does put me at my fat percentage goal, so I guess I need to hit the weights even harder!

Fayve

Yeesh, 114.4. I guess that's kind of my dream goal weight, but I can't imagine getting there with my lifestyle now.

Woops, I guess that's what my goal weight is set to on here though, haha!

LoveleeB

That's interesting.. it put my happy weight at 132lbs. My goal is 138lbs so its pretty close. In all honesty if I could stay around 135 then I'd be perfect I think. Thanks for sharing.

dcladydi

Mine says 124.4 just about where I would want to be for my goal weight of 125

babygurl48

it put me at 136!! that's about 30 lbs more than my goal weight!! woh!!

katschi

Mine said 153 -- about what I was in my 20s.
I'm almost 51 now and not sure I can get down to that weight again.
We'll see.
Right now, I'd be happy between 160 -170.

SandraD89

Mine said 135, but i am uncomfortable with that because when i was 140 i super tiny. Heck im 170 right now and people guess me at 150.

shallo

Mine says 127.2. I don't know if I will get that low or not.
