"Medium frame" gave me 121, and "large frame" gave me 127. The "large frame" matches my goal better though that term makes me think of Cyldesdales or something..!

Ever since getting very sick a couple years ago and dropping to around 120, I know that weight is too low for me, even though in some people's eyes (maybe because of the way they're built themselves) that would be "perfect" or possibly even still a bit too heavy. I think if I were that light and got the flu or something my body wouldn't have the energy reserves to help me recover faster.

Pretty darn accurate! My goal weight is 165 and that's the number that it came up with for a "happy weight"..... Good to know! Thanks for sharing!

dmgaloha

I think these calculators are fun, thanks for sharing.

My results? Happy weight: 128.2; and yes, I think I would be VERY happy at that weight!! :laugh:
My current goal is 130, only because anything in the 120's seems overwhelming right now.

99 lbs, I think not! I've been as low as 106 & felt that was too small for me; I'm most comfortable at 110-115 (4'11").

Oh wow, this is very interesting. Says my happy weight should be 152. I am currently 146 and am aiming for 142 but that doesn't include muscle weight, which I do need.

CARNAT22

Wow - 112lbs (pretty much what I weigh now!)

UGW 110lbs..

TheCats_Meow

Pretty accurate for me. The weight it gave me after the calculations is actually what I set my goal weight to be - 145.

Hopefully that thing didn't mean for us to add 5 lbs PER child, only once?? LOL That'd be an additional 5 pounds on top of the 1st 5 I had to add :-D

Thanks for sharing

144lbs or 10 stone 4 - I haven't been that weight since 1992 and it hurt to stay that skinny.

Edit: The site added something else along the way which gave me 147lbs or 10.5 stone, which is fairly in the middle of the ideal BMI range for me. Maybe I need to get skinnier than I thought!

Tree72

Hmm, it gives me 135. That's 10 pounds lighter than my current goal and 5 lbs lighter than the goal my trainer would like to see me reach.

It was fun to try. I really don't think you can get a very accurate picture of someone's build by just a wrist measurement though. I have relatively dainty wrists and ankles, but broad shoulders and hips and an absolutely enormous rib cage for my height.

My happy weight is 126, which i am now, but have decided after a few weeks at this weight that 122 will be happier!

Valechka

140 lb, no way, 16 lb more that I weight now

Cait_Sidhe

Mine came out to be 114 lb. I'll take it. Lowest I've ever been as an adult was 117 lb. and I was happy with it.

Plus I found out I'm a medium frame. I'd always thought I was a large frame. I had no reason for thinking that, I just assumed.

lazyspice

Mine came out as 142.5 which would probably be about right if I could remember that far back!

scarletleavy

Mine came out to 133 lbs, which is pretty accurate I think. 130-135 is the range I can maintain easily without starving myself or acting like a crazy person. So yeah, definitely a happy weight for me.

meggers123

interesting. says mine is 132... and my GW is 135...

tpycha126

Hmmm if I did this right than I am right on for what I would like to be at, 122. Now if only I could break the 125 mark, to get there.

megz4987

I don't like the whole "add such and such if you have obese parents or kids, etc" Just because your parents are fat and you had kids doesn't mean you can be fat and it's ok b/c it's your 'happy weight'

Self.com, I am disapointed.

The # I got is within the 10lb range of where my goal is (got 136) but even still.

navyw1fe

Thanks!! it says Happy Weight should be 136 and my Goal was 137 :happy: I'm 138 so 2lbs away :bigsmile:

KateHubb

144 is what I got. My goal is 150 so that's pretty close. Thanks!

ilovedeadlifts

don't think I'll ever be happy at a certain weight.
always gonna find room for improving my body composition.

I was 160 or so 2 years ago.
But the 160 I was this summer, was a totally different look.
Weight isn't the important thing.

kassandra81

So I went to the site, and it says my goal weight should be 128.
My goal weight is 145. That's quite the difference!

czechsmate

hmm...it gives me a happy weight of 132 but I am shooting for 125, I guess I will have to wait and see!

ABetterBalance

It gave me a happy weight of 133. I'd say that's pretty accurate. It's not my goal weight, but I maintained in the 130's for a long time and was (mostly) happy with it.

Kristhin

Mine says 125. Sounds about right to me. I'm 134 right now, but not as thin as I'd like to be so 125 would be nice.

KBGirts

Cool!!! I realize this may just be an estimate, but mine turned out to be 133. I always thought my perfect weight would be around 140, but I always wondered if 135 would still be healthy. I hope to find out soon!!!

RMinVA

Oddly enough it came out to what I would like to be...145. Whether or not I can hit that # again remains to be seen!! It's been a long time!!

Angie789

It did work out pretty close to where I'm headed (my goal weight is 145, this calculation says my "happy weight" is 142), but I don't buy it as a useful tool for all women. Too many variables that it doesn't account for.

countrydarling1

tHANK YOU FOR SHARING THIS! iT SAID MY HAPPY WEIGHT WOULD BE 155.11, WHICH IS 5LBS LESS THAN MY GOAL WEIGHT! wOOO HOO!! CANT WAIT TO BE MY HIGH SCHOOL SIZE!!

_Ben

Very Very odd. 145.5 lbs, and the goal weight that I had just picked out of a hat when I started was 145 lbs. Only 7.5 more to go!

Jeff92se

Ah 143lbs??

I wasn't that light since grade school.

None of these calculators seem to account for someone that lift weights.

I'm 5 7" 179lbs 32-33 waist. Male
