    I think this is for women only.

    it said my happy weight is 171. Yeah....riiiiggghhhttt.

    That would put me at about a 19 BMI and would cut out about 12 lbs of muscle.

    it says I should be 108, LOL, My goal is 125. I can hardly imagine being 125 let alone under 110.

    I'm trying...it's not giving me a number. It keeps sending me to a chart where it says I need to pick my frame size...but my frame is chosen. Am I doing something wrong?!?

    Got it...sorry! It was telling me that 20 was too young, but it wasn't bold or red or anything so it didn't stand out.

    I changed my age to 21 and bam, there it was!

    This was pretty true to what I want my goal weight to be! My GW is 140 pounds (I weigh 160 right now). It says my "happy weight" is 137.5. I could live with that!:bigsmile:

    Thanks for sharing!!

    Mine was 145! I would have to gain 15. I don't think I would be happy. I wonder why some of us get a higher weight and some are getting so much lower.

    I have 3 kids, and now I just put in that I didn't have any children and then I got 139 lbs.

    Mine was 160 lbs first, then i switched my frame size from large to medium, but it's still 149 lbs...I think i'm aiming for 135-140...I guess I'll finally be a skinny minnie then!

    Ahh, it put me at 120 lbs. My current goal is 135...or 130. I don't remember which, but 120 almost sounds like a dream. That was middle school I think.:sad:
