I'm sure quite a few of you have explored websites like Self.com and found all the magic tools and whatnot, but I thought I'd share this one.. it's pretty neat.
http://www.self.com/calculatorsprograms/calculators/happyweight
You put your height, frame size, age, etc. into this calculator and it tells you the weight where you would feel happiest taking all of the information into account. It might be a bunch of hooey, but it's just another thing to think about, and it's kinda fun!
My goal weight for myself has been 145 since I started MFP, and my "Happy Weight" ironically came out as 145.1. I guess I had the right idea. :P

I just checked that out and it was fun! It said my "happy weight" would be 125.2 and I have my goal set to 125.0
-
Not quite. Would I be happy at 153.5? Possibly. Would I be happy with all the work I'd have to put in maintaining said weight? Not at all.0
-
My happy weight is a lot higher than my goal weight, so I will be interested to see if I'm happy when I get there. Thanks for the fun tool.0
-
Wow. It said 140.2. My goal is 140.0
-
Said mine is 145. I have mine set at 160. Hmm. We'll see what happens:)0
-
My happy/goal weight has always been 145.7 (just into the "healthy" BMI range) and my "Happy Weight" is 142.7. Very close!!0
-
My "happy weight" listed as 146.2. I weigh 126.6. Thanks, but no thanks.... VERY happy where I am now!0
-
This told me my happy weight is 152.5 and I'm at 150 ... and well, hitting 150 did make me pretty stinkin' happy0
-
My "happy" weight was 133, my goal by Christmas is 130. However, I'd like to take it down to 120 by next summer. We'll see0
-
It said my "Happy Weight" was 127 and my goal is 125.0
-
148.6 ... My goal weight is closer to 140 or 135
Of course if I'm happy at 148.6 then I'll stop losing and maintain0 -
It gave me 157 pounds, which is a bit higher than my goal weight. :-)0
-
116.4? Umm... yeah... don't think I'll be getting down that far, but we'll see how I feel when I hit my current goal.0
-
ummm it didnt make me happy.... 128...nope that would be too hard to maintain id be happy with 1450
-
my goal weight currently is 150 although id really like to be 135 but everyone says its not realistic since i have 3 kids and the happy weight tool said 140 : )0
-
Interesting. My happy weight was calculated to be 129.3. I don't agree with that. I'm at 139.5 now and I'm almost at my happy weight. I'm 13 lbs down and thinking of stopping when I get to 15 lbs lost. Everyone is already telling me I'm back to my perfect weight. Fitting in to my old clothes already, so I'm very happy!0
-
This is really interesting! Mine's about 5lb higher than I thought. I guess we'll see if I'm happy when I get there!0
-
It said my happy weight was 125.2. I have my MFP goal set at 120. I guess once I get there I will no for sure.0
-
It said my happy weight would be 157.8 and my goal is 175. So maybe I'm aiming too high?0
-
Nope, not for me. It said 150.2 and I'm at 138ish right now (stupid vacation weight). I was definitely NOT happy at 150!0
