    Good job!!!! I hear you on the coffee creamer!! That is killer to me too. I started putting it in my smoothies in the morning or I use almond milk and agave instead of creamer. I get specialty coffees for a special treat once every week or two instead of using creamer at home. It is working great for me. :) Come winter when I LIVE on coffee, it will be much more difficult though. lol

    A couple GREAT things happened regarding this morning's weigh in and I had to share em!
    1st... I have now lost for SIX weeks in a row! This is following a more than 4 month plateau!
    2nd...Although I don't hold a lot of faith in the BMI scale, I am officially OVERWEIGHT! After being OBESE for roughly a decade that is pretty awesome!

    :heart: "NEVER give up on a dream due to the amount of time it takes to achieve it... the time will pass anyway!":heart:

    WOO HOO!!!! AWESOME!!! Yelp, just keep pushing!!:happy:

    That is awesome! Plateaus suck and are what cause a lot of people to quit! Way to perservere! What did you do to break your plateau?

    I was stubborn... I drink A LOT of coffee. Sometimes two pots a day :blushing: I refused to count coffee creamer and for the longest time I was losing weight at an ok clip. Then I stalled... when I looked into it I was taking in literally a couple hundred extra calories a day in creamer alone. Since the first week of June I have been counting it. I didn't want to lose calories that would allow me to EAT as I have been so I drink my coffee with ONE tablespoon of creamer now for the first 3 cups, if I have more coffee than that I drink it black. It was an adjustment, but since the weight is coming off I can live with it! :heart:

    Thank you for your comments all! It really can be just as simple as counting those 'hidden' things... I never would have imagined that I was 'over' by that much every day.

    I had the same problem! I started using Sugar Free creamer and as long as I use a name brand and not a generic, it isnt too bad. It isnt so bad to get used to but, it took some time. Every once in a while, I get a WAWA (convenient store) coffee with their creamer or even a Specialty coffee with skim milk but, those weeks when I do that alot, I notice the extra amount of calories I take in from that. I am actually hoping to get off of coffee completely...one day!! LOL!!!

    That is so awesome. What a great achievement. I haven't been "overweight" for around ten years either and I'm 25. I totally agree with your quote too.. I have made the excuse about how much time will pass BUT the time will pass anyway! Thanks for sharing your VICTORIES and the inspiration.
