    The neat thing about the happy weight calculator...It says my goal weight is a happy weight for me.

    148.8 is my happy weight and I currently weigh 155 so I am almost there. If I could get to my happy weight, I think I would be happy! :-)

    Yeah -- that calculator doesn't take your lean body mass into account at all. It has my "happy" weight FAR, FAR below what I could ever get to.....unless I lost a lot of muscle.

    "thumbs down"

    Hmm, it seems to be about exactly what my natural weight was back when I was young and cute and felt I was too fat (!!!), and is pretty close to what i would like to get to--that's maybe twenty pounds to go, but I'm in no hurry!

    about 10lbs off my goal weight
    I'm aiming to be around 165, my happy weight is 155. I'll see about that

    My "Happy Weight" is more then my goal weight. It comes out to 154 and I currently weigh 152 and my goal is 150 lol. I must say I've been pretty happy with my weight since I was 160 so I'm glad my happy weight is a good number :)

    My "Happy Weight" per their quiz is about 3 pounds less than my final goal weight. It's what I keep working towards so I can fine with the result. :wink:

    125.9 because I have children
    121.9 if I did not have children


    - I am 128.4 currently, I am going to say that I will not be comfortable when I am down 3 or so pounds. 120 would be great and eventually I want to be around 115, which is still a little higher than my pre-pregnancy weight with both girls. All a work in progress though! :)


    Interesting post though!

    My goodness!!! What it states as my 'happy weight' is about 14 lb under my goal weight. I was my 'happy weight' about 8 years ago, and people were asking me if I was okay because I looked too skinny!

    I know it is only 'fun' but sites like these are ridiculous.

    I came up with 120, which is pretty much my goal weight. My goal weight is 115-125

    My "happy weight" is what I weighed in high school and is close to my current goal...

    I am .4 lb under what my happy weight would be in three years. Apparently anything under 21 is "too young" for this calculator. I'm a good five pounds from my goal weight right now.

    Bullsh*t!!!!!

    Agreed. Looks like this is just the BMI bulls*t chart changed to 'happy weight calculater' - it has put me at 132lbs as my happy weight, which would mean another 28lbs I'd need to lose. At 20% body fat, and measurements 37", 28", 37" I'm definitely lumping this one in with the BMI chart. Not a tool I'd recommend

    I just tried it and it said that my "happy weight" is at 107.5 lbs. I'm currently 92 lbs and I was totally not happy when I was that big. hhmmm....then again it IS just for giggles so I'm not going to take this too serious. Have fun!!!!

    I'm 5 pounds under my happy weight! Does that mean I am even happier? :)

    Close for me-the happy weight according to the calculator is 6 pounds MORE than my goal weight. Maybe when I get to the so-called happy weight (17 pounds), I will be happy ENOUGH lol.

    Hmmmmm, mine is 10 lbs heavier than my goal. Which is kinda interesting because my husband keeps telling my he thinks my goal is too low for my body.
