Determining your goal weight?

I've set a few goals. At first I was convinced that I was a bmi outlier, so just into overweight would be perfect. Then I was still jiggly so I went to the top of healthy. Still jiggly. Now I'm aiming for mid range of the normal (well after my maintenance break over the holidays). It's not something that I've ever had set in stone.0

I used one of the online BMI calculators to set my goal at 160 which is about mid-range normal for me (male 5' 10").
I have a long way (60lbs) to go yet so I am content for now to leave it at that but my plan is that once I get say within 20 pounds of the goal I will get my body composition checked out either in a BodPod or with a Dexa scan and adjust to whatever seems right based on the results.0
