If you're happy and you know it...

I was reading through some old magazines and I found and article about finding your "happy weight". So here's how to calculate it (just substitute my stats with yours!)

1- Multiply your height in inches by itself then by 0.031 (this is your BMI in the middle of the healthy range. BTW, I've never been a big fan of the BMI)= 139 lbs (I think I'd look like Skeletor if I weighed that)

2- Multiply the number above by 0.95 if you have a small frame; leave it unchanged if you have a medium frame; multiply it by 1.05 if you have a large frame= 146 lbs

To measure your frame, wrap a tape measure around your wrist and consult this chart:
under 5'2"= 5'2"-5'5"= over 5'5"
Small frame= less than 5.5"= less than 6"= less than 6.25"
Medium frame= 5.5"-5.75"= 6"-6.25"= 6.25"-6.5"
Large frame= more than 5.75"= more than 6.25"= more than 6.5"

3- Add 1 pound if a sibling or parent is obese= 147 lbs

4- Add 2 pounds for every decade you are over 20= 147 lbs

5- Add 5 pounds if you've had any children= 147 lbs

6- Subtract 1 pound if you exercise once a week, 2 pounds for three times a week, and 3 pounds for five or more times a week= 146 lbs

7- Add 4 pounds if you smoked at least a pack a day for a year or more and have quit (most quitters tend to gain weight)= 146 lbs

8- Add 1 pound if you allow yourself a treat now and then= 147 lbs

Final Happy Weight= 147 lbs (eeeeeeek)
