    This is basically a modified BMI calculation... which is AWFUL.

    I would need to be about 163 lbs... which is NUTS. I would have to lose a TON of muscle to hit that weight.

    The calculator is for women.

    Women can't have muscle?

    This made me feel terrible. My goal is 125 and it says I should be 120.

    Not going to say I believe in the "science" or lack there of.. but it was fun :)

    118 is what it gave me after doing all the equations, and my goal weight is 115. I maintain 120 no problem without exercise, and 115 with exercise. ( I am 130 from having a baby recently)

    I've tried the link 3 times LOL and it doesn't work. Are you all doing the math yourself or using the link provided?

    No, the link didn't work for me. Google self.com happy weight and you'll find it.

    It came up with 136 for me - which is 18 pounds lighter than my current weight - and pretty unrealistic for me.
    I think about one or two kg less than my current weight will be about right for me so this is way off my "happy weight".

    *blink* Let me try that again. The calculator is for women. What's that have to do with women having muscle?

    *blink blink* Let me clarify: It's a modified BMI calculation, and BMI doesn't consider muscular weight. Muscle weighs more than fat. Very muscular women are put at a higher (and false) BMI.

    The problem I see is that my wrists get bigger and smaller depending on my weight. Back in the olden days when I weighed about 120, I could wrap my fingers around my wrist and they'd overlap. At my biggest they barely touched. So I don't see how our wrist size can be an indicator of frame size.

    It tells me my goal should be 127..... my goal is 127!!!! So funny that it worked out for me.... kind of neat!

    Thanks for sharing! Oh, and I didn't realize I had a medium frame, I always thought I was large-boned, even though I'm 5'2"!!!!!

    mine says i should be 113

    i would love that, but i still have sooo much more to go.

    It says I should be 125lbs...I don't think my body could ever physically be that thin. Nor do I think I would look good or feel sexy at that weight. My body seems to get its "thinnest" at 135, then I just start bulking up with muscle. Which is why 130-135 is my goal! :]
    My sister has a really similar body to me (same height/frame), but she's a year-round varsity athlete at university...and she's 145lbs of solid muscle. And she eats totally clean and works out many many hours a day!

    This calculator is funny to play with, and fun because I'd never measured my wrist before, but at the same time, not exactly giving an accurate 'happy weight' for every user :]

    I was shooting for 125 for my goal weight although I hover 129-133. It says my "happy weight" is 127. That's pretty close.
