poll: what should you weigh?
Permalink Closed

Through myspace I found this survey. You answer some questions about how you eat/exercise and it guesses your weight. It was surprisingly accurate (off by only a few percent) for me. I'm wondering if it is accurate with others.


I bet it is also a good way to figure out how much you would weigh if you changed a few things about your lifestyle. Like if you were to answer all the questions truthfully, but change the one about exercise to say you would do it more often, would your weight go down by XX lbs?

Mine was low by about 15 lbs, but my answers now are different since I'm on my weigh down. So I answered higher about veggies & fast food, etc

ETA: I just noticed it says if I weigh more I'm probably losing weight, which is true.

This was so accurate it was almost like the survey stuck a scale under my chair when I wasn't looking! Yet more evidence that I need to excercise. I do almost everything right except I do not excercise enough. Thanks for posting this. I know the results are kind of accidental and not very scientific but whatever gets me off my a#@ is helpful!!

Holy Crap! I guess I have an unhealthy lifestyle.

For reference, I weigh about 115.


You Should Weigh 150

If you weigh less than this, you either have a fast metabolism or are about to gain weight.
If you weigh more than this, you may be losing a few pounds soon!

Halleybird, you're not the only one. I weigh about 120 lbs and based on my answers in the survey I should weigh 165 lbs. I guess I also lead an unhealthy lifestyle.

Mine was off by 2 pounds.  Not bad.  I'm going to do the survey again and see what happens when I bump up the exercise.


ETA:  When I did the survey answering that I exercise a few times a week (which I don't) I drop 10 pounds.  Looks like I know what I need to do. *runs to change into workout clothes*

Ditto.  Mine gave me 155 and I'm in the 110-115 range.  Only 40lbs off .  I do eat crappily (hee) though and barely exercise.  I'm lazy.

Mine was 20 pounds off but mentioned I may be gaining weight which is true   I'm starting on WW and exercising again this week so that should change.

It guessed 15lbs lower, but I am on a diet so I answered differently b/c I have been eating and excersizing differently than I use to

Mine came out 30 lbs heavier than what I actually weigh. Weird.

Should weigh 140. I now weigh 144, and 140 is my WW goal weight. I've been stuck at this weight for a couple of months.

When I was younger I had a fast metabolism and could eat a lot without gaining and without much exercise.

Interesting quiz. Thanks for posting it.

Fun exercise.  Mine was off by about 5 pounds and I'm under the estimate so I'm okay with that.  I was not okay checking the '40 & over' box

Mine says I should weight 145...that's about what I weigh now, but i'm only 5' 3".


Oh well, I try not to get terribly fixated on my weight...I look more at muscle tone and the fit of my clothes.

Mine said I should weigh 160 and i weigh around 135...but it's probaby right, the way I eat I should weigh a WHOLE lot more...thank goodness I guilt myself into exercise!

Wow! That gave me my exact weight, which is 120. I'm going to try again and see what it says if I put that I work out almost every day...
