Any less than that and I'd have to exercise obsessively and never allow myself any treats, and life's too damn short for that. I weigh around 143 right now and I actually think I don't look too bad right now-I'd just like to be a bit more toned. I definitely don't want to start drama or anything, but it kind of bothers me when girls on here who are much thinner than me talk about how fat they are-if they're fat, I must be a heifer.
    I know what you mean- when I was bigger, my housemate had a very slender girlfriend who complained all the time about her 'fat'. I always suspected that she must have thought of me as morbidly obese, despite her denials. Now that I've shed my excess body fat I'm careful not to complain about my perceived figure flaws to girls who are bigger than I am, because I worry that they might feel as insulted as I did. The truth is that I'm nowhere near as judgemental about other women's bodies as I am about my own- which is exactly what my housemate's then-girlfriend used to say- but that's very hard to believe from the other end, and I understand that too.

    The other thing is, it's possible that weight alone, in your case, doesn't indicate your degree of fatness- you may have a lot of muscle and dense bones, making your scale weight relatively high but your percentage of body fat (and measurements) smaller than girls who weigh in lighter than you do and yet complain about their bodies. You may, in truth, be thinner than they are. Scales alone don't tell the whole story. You often need to see the people in question to make any kind of meaningful comparison.

    Those damn scales! I haven't owned one since 2001 and only weigh myself at the doctor's.

    I did the calculator. My 'happy' weight is around 124.5. According to my clothing size and last weigh in, I'm well below that.

    So, I guess I am at my happy weight. I pay more attention to tone and definition than I do a stupid scale. Oh yeah, and how my jeans fit.

    mine is 139 (5'7 med. frame-36-26-36), but I look fat at that weight.... I'm around 130 now, IMO I look best at 120, but I have to starve myself to get there, it's not natural. My set point is 130.

    It said mine was 137. I'm 117 right now and still don't look or feel thin! I feel exactly the same as when I weighed 162 last year. (ew. not cute on me.) I don't think I have a happy weight. My flab just rearranges and I have hips that go on foreverrrr. And not in the sexy booty kind of way!

    Don't throw it out! Just save it and have one little piece every day or so as a treat.

    I'm 5'2" and according to that calculator my happy weight is 113.2 and my ideal weight is 101-136. I am probably 130 lbs right now. I would totally be 100% happy with 113!

    Meh, it said my happy weight was 113. Lysondra, if I recall we have pretty much the same proportions and weight currently, why did it tell you to aim for 107 I wonder? :/

    I'm fine with aiming for 113 or so, I don't feel fat at all, and that isn't a hard goal to get to I don't feel. The lightest I ever was as a teen was 115 I believe, but that was me doing just cardio and eating almost nothing like a moron.

    I look better now at 122 than I did at 115 then, I think at 113 I'd look fucking lean but in my head I imagine myself being sexy and muscular looking at that weight, hehe.

    It said my happy weight is 134, which is where I'm at right now. I prefer to be under 130, but I don't freak out over a few pounds.

    I just went back to my old club where we go on stage a lot more and get more exercise, so I'm hoping I'll get back down in the next few months. But I don't diet. I just eat sensibly and try to get exercise.

    Mine came out at 122 lbs.

    I almost never weigh myself either, but I do know that months ago when I was pretty depressed (and the anti-depressants I was on killed my appetite too) a few people asked me if I dropped below 100. I'm 5'4" with a small frame. I weighed myself and came in at 107.

    When I've been at about 125 I tend to get moon-faced.

    I have to agree that the scale doesn't always count for much. I know a lot of that weight that I lost was muscle, because I became very lethargic and sedentary.

    In the last couple of months I've been more active, eating more and better food and I don't doubt I've gained a few pounds, which is fine by me. My favorite jeans still fit great though.

    I think it all depends on your frame.

    As Yek said, at 5'1" she looks too skinny at 115. at 5'2" and my current weight of (stupid bartending making me fat) about 120, I do NOT look skinny AT ALL.....My "ideal" weight is probably about 110 but I prefer to weigh 105 because I dig the skinny look for myself....but I have a small frame.

    My grandma, on the other hand, is my height and 130 and looks skinny as all shit, but she is INCREDIBLY big boned.

    I think your happy weight, really is the weight at which you look good but don't have to struggle all that much to maintain. That for me is probably about 112, but I dont like how that looks on me. Make sense?

    *According to Self tho my happy weight is 114 which IMHO is too much*

    That article was in Glamour recently! At first I thought it was a great idea, but then again, it's just another means of causing obsession about your weight. Maybe how much you weigh isn't the most important thing in life.. unless of course it's causing you health problems..

    According to Self, I'm at my happy weight. And I pretty much agree.

    5' 6.5"
    medium frame
    2 months short of 44 years old

    puts me at 144.5 lbs.

At 100 lbs, I start to get the bloated cheeks look. While I'm sure the calculator might work better for others, it only serves to prove that we should stop living by the scale.
    I agree!

    It says my "happy weight" is around 131, BULLSHIT!!!!!!!

    I am 121 right now and I still have a few things to work on, lol.

    If I got back up to that weight, I would be a cow, lol.

    It reckons my happy weight is 159lb (72 kg) If I get below 165lb (75kg) the doctors will get nasty again.

    Im happy being around 80kg (175lb?) especially if Im working out, and athletic.

    Honestly I dont care about the scales, if I LOOK good and feel ok.

    The thinnest i've ever been as an adult was 142 and my boobs looked gross.
    I felt uber sexy around 150, i still had curves and wore a size 8-10. Thats when i started dancing.
    I've never been skinny, in fact i've been fat most of my life.
    After this baby my goal is to be 130 and get awesome fake boobies.
    I never want to be fat again, I never knew how good i could feel until i lost that weight before i got pregnant. I will do anything it takes to feel that good again and love every inch of myself in the mirror!
    My happy weight according to the chart is 138
