..... mine comes up as 150lb (68kg)

I'm aiming for 176lb (80kg) at 5'7" (1,74m)

I'm already feeling "smoking hot" (quoting Steph {redinsc}) and I think another 35lb (15kg) would do the trick to get me into a USA 14/16 (UK size 16/18)

- I would be delighted!!!

Aiming for 176lb I also plan on saving the PS costs

My happy weight is 144, only 6 lbs below my goal. I will have to see how this will work out.

Gwennie, I'm 2 inches taller than you and I too thought I'd be happy at 175-ish. My body had other plans though. Once I passed 170, I began wondering if I would ever stop....how would my body know when to stop. Eventually it evened out and the weight it settled on was good for me.

We can have all kinds of goals and plans, but in the end, our bodies will do what they will and that's that.....unless you start bulking up on twinkies.

[quote=rainrain;255132]I think it is pretty accurate. for me it calculated 159.5 and I got down to 164 right after hernia repair/ tt surgery...quote]

Is that the before and after pictures of your tummy tuck? Sheesh...I want a tummy tuck too! LOL

Looking good, girl!

something that interests me is how do you know what size frame you are? I have no idea cos my bones are all invisible

I put in all three sizes and got 119, 125 and 131lbs as happy weights

.... that's just "NUTS" (our slang for crazy) - can't even imagine less than 175lb at this stage - but then she did it - Sheree also had 175lb as her original goal and look at her now

Que sera sera

haha its for women but, who cares its fun.

What's your Happy Weight? 174.5
Not for use by pregnant women

So I guess im pretty close. lol. Maybe the extra 15-20ish lbs is muscle perhaps. lmao

VanessaSFL · 02-07-2008, 04:11 PM

Happy Weight said 144, I have been 127-132 for over two years now...but I will say that I thought I looked my BEST at 140.

Thanks Beth, kinda neat

monkeygrly · 02-07-2008, 04:23 PM

My Happy Weight is 145.3. I think that's reasonable...that was my original goal weight.
