Reasonable goal weight?

Hi guys...How did you figure out what your goal weight would be? I am 5'7" and 225 now and would love to be 130 but I am not sure if that is reasonable. I don't want to set myself up to fail but I want to do my best as well. In high school I was about 170 and a size 12. Looking back, I thought I was such a cow then but now I would LOVE to be that weight again. Funny how the perspective changes, huh? Anyway, I want to be thinner than that, but don't know what type of goal I should set...or should I not set a specific one at all?

My goal weight is around the 170 range. I am only 5'3" but when I was there before, in my 30's, I was very comfortable and wore a 12 which is really small for me. I have hovered around 250 for the last 30 years. Twice, for about 1 and half years each time, I was 170 but it never lasted as you can see. Maybe third time is the charm!! 280/250/223 for now......As you can see my top weight this last time was way over 250!!
