I think it is hard to come up with a goal weight since numbers are just numbers and we won't really know what we look like til we get there. You may be very happy with your body before you reach that goal you've set. It's okay to change goals! Also if you do choose to lose all the way down to 140 and you think you are too skinny, you can add a few pounds back on. But I'll bet you won't want to.

This summed a lot of my thoughts up perfectly!
I was talking on my blog recently too - pounds versus inches? or versus BMI? What's healthiest, what's easiest, what's best?
For now, since at 245 pounds, my problem is quite obviously
everything (bmi, inches, and pounds) I'll just go by poundage, because its the easiest to count.
Even if (WHEN!) I get to 145, for my height I'd still be overweight (BMI of 27) so from there, I know I'll be readjusting my goals and reaching for a healthy BMI. Reaching that healthy BMI will have to include gaining some muscle, which might make the scale rise - but at that point, it'll matter less, as long as I'm healthy.
Oh...and natch...
CONGRATULATIONS!
