I know this was on here once a long time ago, but there are so many new people I thought I would put it on here again.

    So Anna, what did you think of the weight it gave you? Accurate - is that a happy weight for you?

    Mine was 127 for happy weight, and I think that is reasonable. I'm going grocery shopping this week, and I'm defientely starting my weight loss journey this week!

    Ok, I just looked at it and I think the weight was too low for me. I know what my body looks like at 10lbs more and I couldn't imagine being smaller than that!

    Actually-- my "happy weight" may be good-- it's roughly what I weighed when I got married-- 160-61-- that's 17 pounds from now and I'm already getting really happy about how I look and feel. Go figure-- maybe when all is said and done 145 will be too thin for me, which is my goal-- we'll see.

    At 140 I'd look too skinny I think so I'll stick with my 150 goal.

    Yeah, at 5'8" mine was 148 - which is basically where I am, and I'm still not happy! I really want to get down to 138, it just seems like these last few pounds are GOING NOWHERE!!! ARGH!!!! :explode:

    Mine came out to be 133 ... which is less than I have ever weighed as an adult (and I used to be at a comfortable weight for me when I was in college & just married at around 140). I don't think I'd be very happy at that weight ... I think I'd be HUNGRY!!! :noway:

    Mine says 147 - that would make me very very happy!!!!! I'm only 5'6" but quite a bit older and that seemingly makes a diff on this type of calculation.

    Mine is 133 - which is just about where I've been (130-135) lately!

    I do feel pretty "happy" with this weight :smile:

    me too.. when i was about 10 lbs heavier than the suggested "happy weight," i was being told by people that i was "too thin." so we'll see how it goes this time as i'm losing weight more responsibly and in a healthier way than before.

    Mine says 98 pounds! My goodness. Granted I'm only 4' 10.5", that just sounds like nothing! Well, my goal is 100 (although I figured I'd reassess around 110 to see if I need to lose more; I'm currently 122). But wow, at least my goal of 100 wasn't so far off. Ha.

    Kim - you are so slim!!!!! I envy you!!!! How did you get the last few lbs off? I am seriously stuck. Did you get stuck? Lose it slowly? Quickly? What were your secrets?

    Thanks for any advice!

    Mine is just a few pounds more than what I am at right now but I'm still trying to lose about 8 pounds. I've gained some weight it the past few months and have been very frustrated that my pants are a bit too snug to be comfortable. So I am not sure. Maybe my goal weight isn't reasonable.
