Size and weight question.

I am 229  pounds and a size 16.  I have read a few blogs  that people say their size and weight. I read one the other day where the person was like 180 and a size 14. I have a friend who is ten pounds less than me but wears a size bigger.  I guess my question is should we set a weight goal or a size goal???  My weight goal is 165 but my ideal size is a 10-12. How is it that people can vary so much in weight but wear around the same size???  I know you have to take your height into consideration but I am still confussed. If I get down to a size 12 but still weigh 15- 20 pounds more than I want to should I be happy or should I get to my goal weight and wear a smaller size??  I am not sure if this made any sense to anyone but me but if you could please help me to understand this.
