Basically it's a series of mini targets worked out by adding the total number pages in each book together.3 -
Since I am beginning with the first Harry Potter - the US version - has 309 pages. I would assume that is to have a 12 pound loss before moving onto the next book. As the first book, is my favorite - I hope I don't linger long - LOL
Current weight 203.2 January 24, 20173 -
Totally need to start this! Though I feel like I should use the US page #'s since I'm in the US. I'm only aiming to lose 35lbs, so I'm adding numbers together till I get to a single digit number. If I didn't I'd never get to the end!
