Can I adapt this idea? I have 10lbs to go to reach my goal weight. Since that would only take me midway through CoS, could I do this as a time-oriented challenge rather than a weight-oriented one, to get the most out of the structure? If I assume 1lb per book and use the numbers above as days rather than pounds, taking today as my start date...

This is awesome! Thank you for such a fun challenge!! So, I'm starting Philosopher's Stone with this week and looking at the overall loss I'll be at my goal range between OOTP and HBP. At that point it's more about how I feel, what my body composition looks like and how clothing fits.
Start - 188
PS Goal - 181
CoS Goal - 173
PoA Goal - 162
GoF Goal - 147
OOTP Goal - 128 -- goal range hit, will adjust as needed
HBP Goal - 115 -- lower end of goal range if not a little below,1 -
What a great idea! I'm in maintenance mode now but you guys rock!!!! ❤️ Harry Potter1

Hi @tolkienite and welcome!
Of course - please feel free to play with the structure, to ensure your own success the structure is just a jumping-off point!!

I hope you don't mind me joining very late but as I'm going to the Harry Potter studio tour in a few months and am re-reading the books in preparation, I can't resist.
Start Date will be 1st Jan 2017
Start Weight: 210lbs
PS Goal = 203 (aiming for 14th Feb)
PS: 210-7 = 203
CoS: 203-8 = 195
PoA: 195-11 = 184
GoF: 184-15 = 169
OotP:169-19 = 150
HbP: 150-13 = 137
Alas, I don't think I'll ever find out what happens as atm I won't lose a DH (I don't think! My initial goal is higher.)
On the off chance I go for it though,
DH: 137-13 = 124

Have a wonderful week everyone!
