happy weight quiz??

PJilly

It gave me 145, which is where I am now. I feel best between 135 and 140. Not right on, but not too far off. I wondered about the question about quitting smoking recently too. I answered no as well, because I quit smoking in 1996, which doesn't seem all that recent to me.

It gave me 123, which is pretty right on, I'm aiming for 125-ish. Dunno about the smoking, I put "no" cause I smoke and I'm not planning on quitting. I think they ask because you gain a bit of weight just after you quit??

jbug100

Wow! Spot on for me! Went past my goal of 145 and got to 140. That is when my body said Yer done, and I said ok, I'm happy here. The calculator said 139. That's pretty good!

BeilaLin

It said 139.2...w/ a medium frame
My goal is 130.

I really actually won't be that happy until 125! LOL!

I'm asian, go figure!

P.S. My picture is 120lb!

randisaucier

Pretty close.....my goal for now is 140 and it has my happy weight at 136.2. My lowest weight as an adult was 135.5 and I was very happy with that! Oh gosh......still 70 more pounds to go

It says my happy weight is 124. I disagree. When I was 126, I was NOT happy because I still had 19% body fat. My goal is 12% body fat cause I want to be super lean and athletic, not just skinny minnie.

But it was interesting to see what it thought anyway.

My happy weight is 136! :bigsmile: I better get started.

Apparently my happy weight is 150.8. I'm aiming for 143 so that's quite a way off. I am currently at 152lbs, and definitely don't look/feel at goal. My goal is set a little higher than I think I might achieve, too.

SueGeer

My happy weight is 141 - I felt fat & bloaty.

My goal is 130.....much healthier!

Got to 130 on my birthday earlier this month :happy: but put some back on while away for a few days since then :sad: .....back on it again now.

My happy weight is 119 lbs - when I was there I didn't feel comfortable at all!
Weight is a very inaccurate factor of measuring my body. I'f I'd have 15-17% body fat and my weight would be 119 because of the muscles, I think it would be great, but I'm 113 now and have body fat around 21% - that's the number I want to make lower, not the weight.

CARNAT22

My "happy weight" is exactly what I weigh now LOL!

I am pretty much at goal weight so yep it looks right to me as well..

keiraev

Mine says 125.6 which is pretty much my ultimate goal (still a long way off!) - how funny!

AlwaysWanderer

Mine says 107lbs, my goal is below 110, so its pretty accurate... I tried their calorific need calculator though, and it told me to eat 1196 cal if I want to MAINTAIN!!! whats going on???!!!

girlinahat

wow. That put me at 109lbs. I don't want to be anywhere near there. For a start, I would be able to be a blood donor. I'll take 120lbs and be satisfied with that, or actually, forget the weight - as long as I don't have flabby bits that'll do me fine.

cdenham001

It put my happy weight at 139, way above what my goal is of 125-130. But hey if I get there and I'm happy... then ok.

MissingMinnesota

I got 128 as a response. My goal is 127. Pretty accurate for me, at least.

I wonder though, the question "Recently quit smoking?"
when I answer 'no', that is because I never smoked in the first place. Does this 'no' answer assume that I am still smoking since I didn't recently quit?

It is just worded so poorly, I can't understand it.

I think it asks that because if you recently quit smoking most people compenstate with extra food and end up gaining weight.

katkins3

It told me 131. I haven't weighed so little in 3 decades! I'm 61 and over 200 pounds. I'll be over the moon to get down to 150! Who knows, life has surprised me before.

liz11599

Ok...wow...this thing was spot on! I was thinking 135 and it told me 136.

kieva626

hmmm my happy weight is 122 lbs my goal is 125 lbs not bad but seems i have more work to do

kklindsey

i have taken this quiz before. There was an entire article that went with it. Your happy weight might not be the lowest weight you can or want to be. It is supposed to be the weight that you can realisticly maintain without extreme dieting and constant workouts. One that lets you have some leeway in your eating and a day or two off from working out. Also, make sure you really know what your frame size is. Just because you are short does not mean you have a small frame. I am 5'3" but have a large frame, big bones lol.

my happy weight according to the quiz was 138.2 That is the weight range I maintained for 2 1/2 years. 138-141 working out 5 days a week and I am as fit and thin as I can stand to be.

JennsLosing

sweet....my happy weight is actually a half pound less than my goal of 130.

emariec78

That's interesting. My happy weight was 141, my goal is 135 but I don't actually have any idea what that will look like on me so I've always planned to assess my progress at 145 and see if I should keep going. Its right in the middle of my range.

BastaConLaPasta

dear god, it tells me 154!!!! I am 132 now and not happy yet!!!!

TXHunny84

Wow!! Spot on for me!! It told me 136 is my Happy Weight and my goal is 135!!! haha :flowerforyou:

UltraRunnerGale

It said 129.6, my goal weight is 125. In the book, Racing Weight it said I should be 125. Close anyway.

misskimlilac

dear god, it tells me 154!!!! I am 132 now and not happy yet!!!!

I hear ya! It said 154 for me too, this morning I weighed in at 152..... But I am far from satisfied about this weight..... Looks like I will keep working hard!

_angua_

My happy weight is 145. My stretch goal is 140, really I want to be under 150, so it was pretty accurate for me.

tiffanyquincey

Its right on for me!
And apparently I have a small frame according to their calculations. Always thought I was a medium!
