    Joining this fantastic challenge now! Love the idea of incorporating reading into weight loss! :heart:
    I'm going to start with my weight from the beginning of the year to be able to go through more books.

    Starting weight: 212 lbs.

    Philosopher's Stone has 223 pages. Added together, these numbers equal 7.

    Also, almost finished with this book that my daughter(9) and I are reading through at bedtime. :smile:

    Chamber of Secrets has 251 pages. Added together, these numbers equal 8.

    145 is my ultimate goal, but I am happy with maintaining a higher weight if I feel healthy at this point.
    Anything lower than that is just gravy. I haven't been that small in awhile, so I'll re-evaluate at this point.
