Just for fun. The happy weight calculator: http://www.self.com/calculatorsprograms/calculators/happyweight And just curious, is your goal weight your happy weight?

Based on this, I am under my happy weight currently, but my body still seems happy.

    I don't think my body would ever be happy according to that thing.

    I have 8 lbs to lose to get to my "happy weight" and actually that's currently my goal. Then we'll see what happens.

    I'm two pounds away from my "happy weight" and eight pounds from my goal weight, so they're pretty close!!

    It says my "happy weight" is 10 lbs less than my goal weight...however, it is exactly what my goal weight used to be (120 lbs). I changed my gw to 130 though because once I get down into that range, I don't so much care about the # on the scale as I do my body fat % and how my clothes fit :)

    This thing shows my "happy weight" as 146 lbs. I have only weighed that once, during a deployment, when I was 23. And I was not really all that happy... I had no boobs, no *kitten*, it was awful... oh, and at 23, I looked like a 15 year old boy! Why would I want that? My goal weight is quite a bit higher, 170ish... hmm...

    It gave me 134.2, and my current goal is 132, so not too far off what I was aiming for :smile:

    I am under my "happy weight"...honestly, I wasn't that happy emotionally at the weight they listed, but maybe my body was. I'm still struggling with that idea. Haha.

    I was shooting for 2 pounds under the "happy weight" so I guess I'm on the right track. However, I've been doing a ton of strength/weight training lately. I've been losing inches but that scale hasn't moved in a month. So not sure if I'll ever get to that happy weight.

    Not sure how they calculate that. My "happy weight" is 136. Right now I'm at 124 and I feel pretty freaking happy about it.

    Well, that says that I am 4 pounds under my happy weight. If there is any relevancy to that calculator it might explain why I have problems losing the last few pounds and maintaining it. I keep fighting with about 3 pounds, which when I am at the top of that three pounds I am still four pounds under my happy weight.

    It is probably called happy weight because it is what some people want to hear :laugh:

    That's pretty cool that some of your goal weight is close to the "happy" weight.
