Weight loss goals and rewards

There are quite a few books coming out this year from my favorite authors. I decided to use these as rewards for a weight loss goal. Instead of using food as reward (kind of defeats the purpose), I have set out goals according to book release dates and will not buy the books until I reach the corresponding weight goal!

It was working out pretty good until the two weeks around Christmas. I have tweeked the goals and it works out to be about 1 pound loss per week, which I believe is completely doable! The end date as of now is May 31, the release date of Kiss of Snow (Nalini Singh) and Magic Slays (Ilona Andrews), the two books I am looking forward to the most this year. Here are the goals and corresponding books:
