Yeah, I've been though similar stages, although I don't define it by numbers; I guess I have a certain look in mind. I remember at first thinking "I just need to drop about 20-25 pounds or so." By the time I lost 40 I realized I still had a substantial amount of fat to lose...
It's sort of like one's definition of "fit" changes. Ask an ordinary person on the street and they have this idea of someone who runs 5 miles. As you grow fitter and read and understand more, your concepts of fitness evolves.
