    My "happy weight," according to this site is 155.6 (which is what I started at 2 years ago). My current weight is 137...so I am underweight according to this. But, I wasn't happy at that weight, so who knows??

    I figured out I have a small frame, so at 5'6", my happy weight is 140.3. I weighed 140 today, so I guess that means I should be happy, but my goal weight is 138. Can't seem to get there, so maybe that is why.
    My second time around I told it small frame. I'm also 5'6" but ten years younger than you. Interestingly, it gave me 132. (which is very much my happy weight. It's the weight I was for years and years and years before all this...hot flash crap started) :smile:
    It's interesting that it gives you a higher weight. I'm figuring it's made a certain "assumption" about you that it hasn't made about me...

    I'm at my "happy weight" at 136, but I want to be 130 at the most.

    My happy weight is about 15 pounds lighter than what i was going for. To be honest, I'll be happy to lose 2/3 of what I'm trying to. It's going to be a long hard journey.

    My "Happy weight" is WAY below my goal weight. Like, 15 pounds lower.

    I hit that weight when I was at my least happy and it took extreme stress and no eating to get there. :/

    It runs on the BMI system which don't work with me because I have super muscular Thunder Guns-er I mean legs. According to my current BMI I'm "obese" which is SO far from true.

    Not impressed. According to this, my Happy Weight is 10 pounds higher than my historically highest weight, and I was only at that weight because of medication.

    Well, gee, it's only about 25 pounds off.

    The worst assumption was that because I have an obese relative I should be at a higher weight.

    That this was a Self calculator should have been the tip-off.

    It is 10 pounds lower than my goal weight which is about right. My goal weight is set to be just in the healthy range. When I was normal weight I was closer to my happy weight than my goal weight and I look really good at about 3 pounds lighter than my happy weight. Yes I think it probably is my happy weight. I have a small frame.

    Hah ... even going with the highest figure I've gotten from any estimate, my 'happy weight' would still give me a bodyfat of under 15%.

    Don't think so.

    I think I would be happy at the weight it calculated. My goal is 15 lbs less, but I'd still be okay.

    It claims my happy weight is 133. Hm. Sounds like it's taking bmi as gospel. My goal is 145, but to be honest, I haven't the foggiest how I will feel or what I will look like. Guess I'll find out WHEN I get there.

    What's up with the "have you recently quit smoking" question?? Pfft - more like, never started.
