Does anyone here NOT count calories and still losing weight?
I try, and try, and try to count calories using the app -- it never sticks.

Suggestions on what to eat daily (want to eat same thing everyday)?
So I know what works for other people is lots of options - for me it is having the exact same thing every day and not diverging from my plan.

Is MIO okay to add to your water?
I have a hard time drinking 70+ ounces of water daily unless it's flavored. I found Mio - it's zero calories - water flavor additive. Is that okay to add a squirt to all my water bottles (I drink five 20oz bottles daily) -- or does the artificial flavor or anything in it hurt my weight loss?
