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

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!
