    I'm happiest now in the 120's (currently 123). I'm 5'4 and got down to around 105 when I was 21, which was way too skinny, and I wasn't in shape at all. Now, I'm in the best shape of my life and feel very healthy and fit.

    I don't think I've really been happy at ANY weight, except for when I was young and didn't have a reason to concern myself with it. I would be MUCH happier to be back to my high school weight, which was 135-145. That was, of course, like 9 years ago... I'm working really hard to get down to at least 130, but I'm mostly concerned with lowering my body fat percentage. If I could get down below 20% body fat, that would be a real accomplishment.

    7.5 lbs, the weight of the son my wife gave birth to in 1971.


    That's an awesome "happy" weight :happy:

    Semi happy - 112. I was a teenager but I still had a HUGE layer of flab so I prob could have gone down to under a 100 but now I think would be perfect!

    Only once in my adult life have I ever been below 160. I was ecstatic and felt amazing the day the scale read 159!

    I was 145 right after I graduated high school. I didn't stay at that weight long, medications made me gain over 60 lbs in a matter of months. I want to get back there.

    I was happiest at 170 for my height and frame. It's also technically the "correct" weight according to the BMI thing, which I don't look to for guidance.

    My happiest and fittest weight was 132lbs (I wrestled at the 61kg weight class). My goal now is 125.

    I dont know you but I want to say that I am proud of you for your success :) You have lost a lot of weight and you are doing well :) I was inspired by you. I'm 43 and sometimes I think I am wasting my time by trying to loose weight. Thank you for posting. It is people like you who inspire others to keep going

    My lowest weight ever was 160. Supposedly I should be around there or even less. But I would be ok with 175.

    I was happiest in the 135 - 140 range. Most of my adult life I was below that but that's when I think I looked the healthiest.

    I was very happy at around 122 - 124, but quite a few people said I looked too thin then.

    I'm currently 141. I'd like to get down to about 126 - 128 but being healthy is my main focus and if I need to stabilise my weight prior to the IVF, then I will.

    158 lb
    I'm 5'7'' and i feel most comfortable with 158 when I go under I don't feel comfortable in my skin. I am happy now, but I am not healthy and that's what i want to change. Be healthy and happy at the same time :)

    Mine was when I was 160, even though it's still high for my height (5'5"). I was fairly toned up a lot. I think if I got back down to that I would be extremely happy... but I'm shooting for 140-150. I wouldn't go lower than that though. I don't think I would look right with my structure.

    I was pretty happy at around the 120-122lb mark. I was thin, but still had booty LOL. It was nice because the smallest amount of muscle on my body, you could really see. I wouldn't go any thinner than that. My goal weight is to reach 120lbs.

    For me I originally set what I considered a realistic goal of 150-140lbs, down from 190lbs. 140lbs was what I weighed when I got married, so I was pretty hell bent on getting back down to that - but ultimately in the back of my mind I knew I really wanted to weigh 120lbs again, like I did before I got pregnant with my son. (Also back when I was still struggling with anorexia.) So when I got to 140lbs, I thought I looked good, but since the weight was still coming off I figured I'd go down to 130lbs... then I wanted to drop down to 120lbs, and it was pretty much after I hit 125lbs that my husband had a long conversation with me, I broke down, and decided to maintain at 130lbs. Sometimes you have to realize what you feel like is your ideal weight is just a number, nothing more. I look great and I feel amazing and comfortable at 130. 125 I felt sick and starving all the time, tired and irritable. Amazing how much difference 5 pounds can make, but yeah. :) I'm 5'7 and 27 years old in case you were wondering that.

    I was completely happy being 5'4 and 136 lbs when I finished basic training and tech school way back in '97. That was the fittest time of my life ... and then it all went downhill from there. :indifferent:

    Throughout college I held steady at 175. But I was also still a bit scrawny.

    I'd be happy with 180-185 and 8-10% body fat. If I hit 8% I could care less how much I weigh, just as long as I'm fit.
