Do you have a goal weight?

When I read posts asking what you will do at your goal weight, things like that, I always feel very wary. To me, this weight thing is a lifelong journey. While I live it doesn't end. I know my weight will fluctuate throughout my life, and my journey is controlling that to the best of my ability. I worry that if I had a goal, and felt celebratory when I reached it, I would probably slacken off, and then would put the weight back on.
I understand if you have a fair bit of weight to lose (I have lost 30 lbs btw) the plan is to get to a healthy range, I just don't think the journey ends there.

I don't think I will ever rest on my laurels. To me, this isn't about reaching a target, it is about living a certain way, be that at 115 or 140 lbs (my healthy range).

    I have 60-70 lbs that I want to lose. I do have a goal in mind that I want to get to. I want to get to 140-150. 150 would make me happy, 140 I'd be thrilled! LOL I have a goal because I need something to strive for. I am not just trying to lose weight though. I'm eating healthier and exercising. I could easily keep within my calorie goal by eating crap all day long but I'm making smarter choices as well. I'm making a lifestyle change.
