    Mine says 125.6 which is pretty much my ultimate goal (still a long way off!) - how funny!

    Mine says 107lbs, my goal is below 110, so its pretty accurate... I tried their calorific need calculator though, and it told me to eat 1196 cal if I want to MAINTAIN!!! whats going on???!!!

    wow. That put me at 109lbs. I don't want to be anywhere near there. For a start, I would be able to be a blood donor. I'll take 120lbs and be satisfied with that, or actually, forget the weight - as long as I don't have flabby bits that'll do me fine.

    It put my happy weight at 139, way above what my goal is of 125-130. But hey if I get there and I'm happy... then ok.

    I got 128 as a response. My goal is 127. Pretty accurate for me, at least.

    I wonder though, the question "Recently quit smoking?"
    when I answer 'no', that is because I never smoked in the first place. Does this 'no' answer assume that I am still smoking since I didn't recently quit?

    It is just worded so poorly, I can't understand it.

    I think it asks that because if you recently quit smoking most people compenstate with extra food and end up gaining weight.

    It told me 131. I haven't weighed so little in 3 decades! I'm 61 and over 200 pounds. I'll be over the moon to get down to 150! Who knows, life has surprised me before.

    i have taken this quiz before. There was an entire article that went with it. Your happy weight might not be the lowest weight you can or want to be. It is supposed to be the weight that you can realisticly maintain without extreme dieting and constant workouts. One that lets you have some leeway in your eating and a day or two off from working out. Also, make sure you really know what your frame size is. Just because you are short does not mean you have a small frame. I am 5'3" but have a large frame, big bones lol.

    my happy weight according to the quiz was 138.2 That is the weight range I maintained for 2 1/2 years. 138-141 working out 5 days a week and I am as fit and thin as I can stand to be.

    That's interesting. My happy weight was 141, my goal is 135 but I don't actually have any idea what that will look like on me so I've always planned to assess my progress at 145 and see if I should keep going. Its right in the middle of my range.

    My happy weight is 145. My stretch goal is 140, really I want to be under 150, so it was pretty accurate for me.

    Its right on for me!
    And apparently I have a small frame according to their calculations. Always thought I was a medium!
