Hahaha, maybe... My original goal weight was 150 (which I'm now less than one pound away from) but I changed that to 140 a couple of months ago. Besides coming off slowly, the last ten pounds I've lost haven't given me much trouble, and I certainly haven't hit a plateau (even though I went out for burgers, fries, and beer three or four times in April...). Will the next ten (which will get me to my new goal) go smoothly, or will I experience the dreaded near-goal plateau? I don't know...
I'm sure there is a psychological component there, but also keep in mind that the closer you get to goal, the smaller the margin of error with your diet. It's supposed to be tougher because by then you're already at or close to a "normal" weight.
I'll let you know how it goes for me!
