    Coffee is one of my greatest pleasures in life. No way I could ever EVER stop drinking it. I drink at least 16 to 20 oz a day. Touch of cream, touch of sugar. If I'm at home, I drink it with a bit of international delights creamer. My bf accused me the other day of being a coffee creamer hoarder because I'm always buying a new flavor even if I have 3 in the fridge already.

    I love Internation Delight Creamer! My hubby makes fun of me as well cause I'm always trying new flavors & he gets stuck using the other ones..lol. :P

    I still drink a cup or two everyday. I drink it black with one sweet and low. Trying to stop the sweet and low but not sure what to replace that with. I tried honey but it was just weird and 60 calories lol

    Absolutely; I drink 2-3 cups a day with fat-free creamer and Splenda. I'll give up the calories in a snack or dessert before giving up my coffee.

    I use to drink it every day but had to quit because of the caffeine was affecting my heart rate and since I have diastolic dysfunction I quit it and diet soda except for special occassions. Feel bvetter drinking plain water or crystal light! While in the hospital with diaqstolic dysfunction the dr said what is wrong with plain water?? Got me to thnking we are made of water so we need to have a liberal amount daily!

    Yes, I drink coffee (and some times espresso). Two cups a day, black and with one Splenda or Truvia.

    I like coffee for those cold morning drives to work but usually don't drink it besides that.

    I love coffee and don't plan on giving it up. I believe there are many health benefits and very few serious problems associated with coffee.

    I cut out the sugary creamers and opted for Trader Joe's Soy Milk Creamer and no sweetener. It took me months to get used to drinking unsweetened coffee but it's habit now.

    Yah, a cup a day with breakfast, because how can you eat breakfast without a cup of joe? I usually put in some equal or its generic equivalent and a little creamer powder, where the only calories really are, and it winds up costing me 2 calories. On the weekend, I might have the second cup. Why? In the morning, it tastes fantastic. Never tried to relate it to weight loss. The rest of the working day, I drink water that I pour through a filter and chill. The real struggle is keeping the wine consumption down later on.

    I drink a cup every morning but I recently changed to black coffee no sugar when I realised how many calories the additives have... It takes a while but you do get used to the taste and now if someone puts sugar in my coffee I can't drink it because even one teaspoon tastes like sickly sweet. It takes about three days for your body to adjust to coffee no sugar!

    I used to put coffee in my sugary cream. I've now gotten to the point where I drink coffee with smaller amounts of cream all the time and sugar has been eliminated.

    After the first cup on weekdays or two cups on weekends (with the more relaxing time schedule) I switch to straight black.

    I drink anywhere from 2 to 4 cups a day, I put a teaspoon of sugar and a teaspoon of creamer in each cup, It usually gives me enough of a kick to get up and walk or exercise..

    Im drinking mine right now :)

    I love coffee and I consider it as one of my snacks. They say coffee is good for you as long as you dont over do it with sugar

    I still drink it. Usually black but everyone once in awhile I get some fancy creamer as a reward instead of a rich dessert.
