Hey Brittany! You're right, this is an amazing group of people.
Hats off for cutting out soda and coffee and upping your water intake. Both are very, very good moves. Might I make a few suggestions? When I first joined back in October, I wasn't planning on tracking calories, either. But after some suggestions, I decided a week or two of tracking to see how much I was really taking in wouldn't hurt me. You might think about it. Maybe not right now, but at some point... It can be a very enlightening experience.
My only other suggestion is that you rethink your mini goal of Onederland (199) by January 1st 2010. There are only about 2 weeks left until January and while you do see to be dropping weight rapidly right now, a lot of what you've lost is going to be water weight. Especially as you start drinking more water and, perhaps, consuming less sodium. I'd just hate for you to be disappointed if you don't lose 13 pounds in the next 16 days. The other thing that worries me about that goal is that to lose 13 pounds in 16 days comes out to about 1 lb a day... And that's dangerous to your health to consistently lose that much that fast. It can also be detrimental to your overall success. Many people who drop rapidly will often put the weight back on at some point in the future.
