I love it!

My only problem with this challenge is that I tend to read the short books within a few days....I can read all the way through Prisoner of Azkaban in 5 days (maybe two weeks if I'm working)! It would be impossible to lose 26lbs in that amount of time!

Well, I had a regain mid-Feb so I need to update and rethink a little. I started originally at 188 and was closing in on my PS goal when the regain happened so I am just starting back at needing to lose the 7 lbs... Figured so early in it's best to just restart. I yoyo'ed on weight in Feb, literally stress really got me last month. Life really hit hard in Feb so everything got turned upside-down on me.

[ ] Lose 7 lbs.... I was almost at this goal and had that regain so I have been working on getting it back down. I'd be down 3 as of yesterday, so I'm hoping to hit this goal before the 18th of March. PS Goal weight 189

[ ] Lose 8lbs from the completion of the PS challenge. - CoS Goal weight 181

Order of the Phoenix has 766 pages. Added together, these numbers equal 19.
[ ] Lose 19lbs from the completion of the GoF challenge. -OOTP Goal weight - 136 (this is in my goal range!)

Half-Blood Prince has 607 pages. Added together, these numbers equal 13.
[ ] Lose 13lbs from the completion of the OotP challenge. HBP Completion = 123

Deathly Hallows also has 607 pages. Added together, these numbers equal 13.
[ ] Lose 13lbs from the completion of the HBP challenge. DH Completion - 110

Ideally for my height and build somewhere between DH and OOTP is where I am aiming to be. 110 is a weight that I previously know I was too thin at but was just running so depending on composition it could be okay. 136 is something I think may be higher than I want to be but depending on how I feel I could be fine there. 123 is a good middle ground so I guess we'll see as I get back with progress.

Setbacks happen, but I can get back on track and stay there. Off to a good start this week maintaining meals and portions and I know that's a big key to success. I'd like to add in working out on a system because it's just too sporadic for me. Getting things back in place and with some luck it will just settle back down and find a groove. It won't be easy but I know being happier in my skin is a reward that's almost impossible to parallel with anything else. I hate being uncomfortable and I just want to be healthier and happier again.

This looks really cool. I'll give it a go. Great idea.
