    This is such an amazing idea! I love Harry Potter and breaking it down this way gives me nice mini goals to work towards. Coincidentally it's almost the exact amount of weight that I'd like to lose too.

    Since I clocked in at my highest weight last month, I'll start from there.

    Start Date: 10/04/2017
    Start Weight: 198lbs

    Philosopher's Stone has 223 pages. Added together, these numbers equal 7.
    [ ] Lose 7lbs from your start date. Need to reach 191lbs.
    Week 1 - 10/04/2017 - 198lbs - 0lbs down - 7lbs to go
    Week 2 - 17/04/2017 - 196lbs - 2lbs down - 5lbs to go
    Week 3 - 24/04/2017 - 195.8lbs - 2.3lbs down - 4.8lbs to go
    Week 4 - 01/05/2017 - 195.3lbs - 2.8lbs down - 4.3lbs to go
    Week 5 - 08/05/2017 - 195.1lbs - 3lbs down - 4lbs to go
    Week 6 - 15/05/2017 - 192.4lbs - 5.6lbs down - 1.4lbs to go

    Chamber of Secrets has 251 pages. Added together, these numbers equal 8.
    [ ] Lose 8lbs from the completion of the PS challenge. Need to reach 183lbs.

    Prisoner of Azkaban has 317 pages. Added together, these numbers equal 11.
    [ ] Lose 11lbs from the completion of the CoS challenge. Need to reach 172lbs.

    Goblet of Fire has 636 pages. Added together, these numbers equal 15.
    [ ] Lose 15lbs from the completion of the PoA challenge. Need to reach 157 lbs.

    Order of the Phoenix has 766 pages. Added together, these numbers equal 19.
    [ ] Lose 19lbs from the completion of the GoF challenge. Need to reach 138lbs.

    Half-Blood Prince has 607 pages. Added together, these numbers equal 13.
    [ ] Lose 13lbs from the completion of the OotP challenge. Need to reach 125lbs.

    Deathly Hallows also has 607 pages. Added together, these numbers equal 13.

    Hi @stephhcharlenee & welcome!!

    To add a gif you just click the Picture icon (next to the black sheet of paper) above the comment box - paste the URL of your chosen gif in and MFP will insert it :)

    Think it only works on the desktop version though, I haven't tried it in Mobile!

    Ahh that makes sense, I'm on tablet so I can't add them! Sucks! Oh well, when ever I use desktop I'll be sure to share :) Thanks!
