"Happy" seems disingenuous; I think "Indifferent" might be more appropriate for my state of mind.
Note, we don't own a bathroom scale at home, so the only data I get is from my annual physicals.
When I first transitioned from Casual Utility Cyclist to Obsessed Recreational Cyclist 17 years ago I lost 20lbs within the first three months...but then my weight has stayed there +/- ~5lbs ever since.
At my most recent physical I weighed the lowest I've ever been in recent memory...which was significantly lower than my weight at the
previous year's physical. I asked my doctor if I should be concerned by this weight loss and, after confirming there were no other issues or red flags, he said "Just consider yourself lucky."

So I guess I'm
almost "happy" ...happily indifferent, yeah.
