    My new fav is the sugar-free cinnamon with soy. I don't usually go to Starbucks, though, but to a little coffee wagon on my way to work. The owner is the nicest lady in the world, so I like to support her.

    I had a mocha a couple of weeks ago for the first time in at least a year, and holy crap, it felt like instant diabetes!

    I stick to my rotation of non-fat gingerbread lattes, non-fat vanilla lattes, bold with milk, black tea lemonades and some random green drink that my favourite guy at Starbucks makes me (soooo delish, awesome energy boost, and there's no caffeine and no cream in it! I don't exactly know what it is though... he's always making new stuff and getting my sister and I to try it)

    If you need all that crap in your coffee to enjoy it... maybe coffee isn't for you. Just go buy yourself a slice of cake or pie instead because that's essentially what you are drinking. I also hate fourbucks with a passion. Find a good local coffee shop and give them your business instead.

    I always use either soy or skim milk, and always half sweet, which means half the amount of syrup, as I find regular just way too sweet. I never use skinny syrups as I don't do artificial sweeteners. I can always taste fake sugar, and I hate that taste. I don't usually add whip, to any of my drinks, unless I order a hot chocolate.

    Oh Starbucks is my weakness, especially during this season. I tend to just hold the whip cream. I can't stand to drink any of the modified "Skinny" versions. They taste like poison to me :( *whines*

    I'm with you on this one. I don't care for the "skinny" anythings. I'm totally against artificial sweetners of any kind. I just order the full version without the whip and I have them use non-fat milk in the smallest size available and work it into my calories for the day. I also don't drink one every day of the week...it's a special treat.

    I love this! I get these on occasion:

    tall nonfat gingerbread latte, no whip - 150 cals
    tall skinny peppermint mocha - 100 cals
    tall nonfat salted caramel mocha, no whip - 220 cals (when I need something rich and chocolatey)

    I used to love the eggnog latte but it's really up there. 350 cals for a tall nonfat. Maybe I'll get one or two this year, but there's no need to get them at least twice a week like I used to!

    I know this isn't helpful but I no longer live in a town with a starbucks, so it's easy to avoid the temptation!

    Tall soy gingerbread latte everyone once in a while. Otherwise a tall soy chai. I love the egg nog lattes but refuse the calories so I won't drink them anymore.

    I'm not that keen on Starbucks, but I do like the xmas toffee nut latte (skinny of course, and tall). I live in the UK and we have Costa and Caffe Nero which are similar, but better. Caffe Nero is the best, its coffee is actually strong! I find the lattes in Starbucks don't actually taste of coffee.

    Nero do an amaretto latte and a praline latte which are nice.

    I try to limit myself to a latte once a week and have an americano the rest of the time!

    Grande Americano with hazelnut and cream weighing in at only 35 calories is my favorite. But I did try Carmel Brûlée Latte and it was Great! But it weighed in at 430 calories :-/
