Are my goals out of whack?

After reading so many comments about people being near their goal weight, I have to question my own goal weight. The Dr asked me what I thought my goal weight should be based on what I believe my bone size (I said medium). So anyway I currently weigh 265 ish and I am 5'8" ish. I told the Dr that my goal was 160-170 and he smiled. He did not disagree.
I wouldn't mind getting back to 145-150 lbs but wonder if that is "too thin". I would rather be 170 and very fit. Since I recently had spinal cord surgery, exercise will not be as intense as it is for other Sleevers. I included that knowledge when factoring my goal weight. The thing is, I wasn't planning on worrying about my weight, but instead to use NSV's as a tracking mechanism. I planned to weigh in maybe once every two weeks.... but I constantly read people weighing in daily (?), or every couple days. Maybe I am looking at this wrong?!?!
Lastly, I focused more on other types of goals instead of my weight, such as:
- being able to exercise for a full hour per day
- I want to do one charity race per year (Avon, Walk for a Cure etc)
- walking up the stairs without being out of breath
- Walk up multiple stairs LOL
- getting into a size 12, 10 or 8
- being able to play with my kids (not be winded or tired)
- maybe I will never run again, but chase my kids, or even a light jog daily.. that would be nice
- able to have amazing stamina in the bedroom (bow chicka wow wow) LOL
- I desire steamy romance, but being big makes it kind of uncomfortable and limits my stamina
- and maybe getting a few looks here and there...
- this is a selfish NSV, I know. But I am 30y/o and there is still a need to feel sexy.
Honestly, I wasn't so fixed on a number. Any number under 200 would be welcomed at this point. I know it sounds odd since so many people have that "number" and stay strict to it. I have always been the odd girl out, never following the norm.. So yeah, my goals seem to focus not on weight but on NSV's and I wonder if that is going to be a problem.
