I'm still alive, that's good. I have lots of energy, I don't feel tired all the time.
Even friends say I'm more energetic and alive than I have been in a long time.
Also, the past couple of weekends I went and dropped $400 on clothes. I've moved
down sizes in clothes, I can only imagine what your 157 pounds must've done to
your clothes budget!

Good job to both of you!! That's great to read about!!
A specific weight goal is good for starters, but like everyone said. BMI is pretty much nothing but a general number and not good for everyone. I'm fat according to my BMI.
I'll also echo what Cowperson said. Sign up for some sort of event and bump up your distances a bit. I once got dragged out to a 10km race 5 years ago and it has changed my life. I was in great shape before but now I am pretty competitive in some new sports, which gives inspiration to work hard.
Maybe you'll hate it, but the experience is great regardless. Just a big happy fest - it's really pretty entertaining. Old/young/fat/skinny/athletic/not athletic/cowpeople show up at races and everyone is generally having a great time, it's infectious!
