Happy Weight

Self magazine has this thing this month called "Happy Weight" asking women what their happy weight is compared to their current weight. Well of course, I want to find out my happy weight!! Who doesn't??

Go here for it: http://www.self.com/fitness/nutrition/calculators/happyWeight

What do you think?? Is this what would make you happy?

The website has my happy weight at 130.0 even, however when I used the magazine with all of the complicated formulas and such, it had my "happy weight" at 122??!!

What is the difference in the two formulas? Maybe when I get home from work, I will post the formula from the magazine........

Leave comments if you choose!!

Very interesting! It has my happy weight at 134.3 which works for me. My first goal is 138, but I would love to be under that, so somewhere under 135 would definitely work. I am interested in the difference between the magazine calculations and the online calculator. Let me know what you find out.

Interesting!! My goal weight is 130, and this tool pegged my 'happy weight' at 139! Very interesting the questions it asked too..

noooooo! This put my happy weight at 126. Hells to the no! I'm 136 right now, I'll be happy if I can just break under 130.

Sarah, we have the same goal weight, very cool!
