Use the [Loop_Count] tag inside the [Loop] ... [/Loop] tags. The following examples shows a loop counting backwards from 5.

[Loop: -LoopFrom=5, -LoopTo=1, -LoopIncrement=-1]
  <br>This is repetiion [Loop_Count].
[/Loop]
Result:
<br>This is repetition 5.
<br>This is repetition 4.
<br>This is repetition 3.
<br>This is repetition 2.
<br>This is repetition 1.
