Changing my goal

Has anyone else here changed their end goal pretty drastically from when they started? I know I have!
My initial goal was 170 which would put me at a healthy BMI. When I weighed 193 I really didn't think I had that much to lose.
Now that I'm almost at that goal I know I'm going to keep going until I lose at least another 20, to put me at 150. Looking in the mirror I know I'm not nearly where I want to be yet in terms of loss and fitness.
Don't get me wrong, I appreciate every little bit of every pound lost and I celebrate the dozens of NSV's I have experienced recently. But dang, I have more to lose than I thought!

Yup. I've changed mine. I thought I could only get to 150. Once there I realized I had PLENTY more to lose. And instead of feeling sad I was excited that I could actually do more!0

I've adjusted my final goal three times. I think it took some early success for me to wrap my mind around the fact that a truly health weight is an achievable goal.0

I haven't changed my goal yet because I haven't got anywhere near it yet.

Originally wanted to be around 135, then I spiraled into an ED. I wanted to be 115lb (very low for my body type). I soon recovered and now I want to be 140-145 with rocking muscles!0

I like this post! I agree that if I got to about 155-160 and then can tone up a lot, I'll be a lot less concerned with weight than just being strong and looking fit.0 -
I don't really have an exact goal, I just want a healthy weight that I can maintain.0
