I just googled it. It's on self.com. Apparently my "happy weight" is 10 lbs under what I figured I'd be happy at. haha0
-
hey cool, this was almost dead on for me. lol it gave me 144.2 and my goal is 1450
-
Not even close for me. It said 157. I would have to be anoerexic to get there, lol. In reality, I don't care what I weight, however, I would like to be 8% body fat within the next 4 months. I am at 12% now. I would suspect I woudl be around 180 ish.0

This is an article about the calculator.
I found it, and apparently my "happy weight" is 140, which at this point seems rather impossible to get to, not to mention stay at. I'll be ecstatic when/if I ever get under 150, lol0 -
It told me 121lbs which is right on for me.0
-
Maybe it's more accurate for woman because it doesn't account for muscle. BTW, I haven't been 157 since 7th grade.0
-
wow it put my happy weight at 126 which is what I weighed back in 7th grade. My inital goal weight was 140 and my streach goal of 130-135. 126lbs would be a total of 124 lbs loss for me so I would be cutting my initial weight in half.0
-
It said 118 for me. I'm 5' and my bmi range is 98 to 128 so it basically gave me smack dab in the middle. Dumb. I haven't weighed 118 since I graduated high school BEFORE having 3 kids. I don't think my body will ever see under 125 so I'm looking to just hit healthy bmi and be happy there.0
-
oh my...131 happy weight. My goal is 140-145, I'm not sure I will ever get to the 130's..haven't been there in 25 years..eek.
good luck to all on our happy weight!0 -
If I ever got to the weight it said (142!) I would die of happiness. I'm about 175 right now,and my next goal is 170, and I was kind of hoping then to aim for 160 and see where that brings me. I'm going slowly with this journey, and looking forward to keep losing pounds!0
-
It gave me 147 lbs, which is just 3 under my goal weight. I'd say that's pretty good!0
-
Unrealistically small weight I think..... if I ever got to 58kg (130 pounds) I'd look terrible.
I'm aiming for 67kg, so about 17 pounds higher than their "happy weight!".
FAIL!0 -
Wow! I'm really surprised. The self calculator has my goal weight at 133.2 and my goal weight is 127-130.0
-
Wow, I just did mine and it was pretty accurate. I am looking to get to 130/125 and it said 132 for me.0
-
I'm below my "happy weight"?!?! It says 147.2 and I'm at 145 now. My goal is around 140...0
-
I'm guessing this is just for women and it told me 160 :noway: I'm 195 now with about 15% body fat. Truthfully I'll be happier when I'm back up to 200-210 (fat loss / muscle gain)0
-
HAHA~ that's funny. Says mine is 129, which is true:) My emotional age is 22, which sounds about right as well. I have to remind myself that i'm almost 40 sometimes.:drinker:0
-
MIne was 132lbs my goal was 138lbs but we'll see when I get there0
