    I drink coffee for the safety and well being of others! LOL! I'm actually a coffee snob and I love good coffee.

    No because it's the most disgusting tasting thing ever.

    Ive just started my change of lifestyle yesterday. I would normally wake up and have a cup of coffee. I am now making myself a smoothie each morning for my breakfast, and I am not missing my coffee at all.

    I've only stopped drinking it to help me break old habits.

    I have found the fruit in the smoothie is giving me a better more refreshing kick in the morning and I am much more alert as the morning wears on.

    Love coffee. Used to drink it with Silk soy creamer but changed to almond milk to cut back on calories/fat. Still tastes great. Yum.

    I drink it black with no sugar and decaf (the good brands that don't use chemicals) But I guess I'm lucky I like the taste that way

    I dont think the world could handle me if I didn't have my morning coffee...

    I drink it with a scoop of vanilla Body Logics protein powder in place of breakfast. Most mornings I'm too busy to eat in the morning and nothing sounds good until I've been awake for at least 5 hours. It's about 125 calories for the scoop but I stay filled until almost noon when I wake up at 6am

    Nope, it's bitter and disgusting unless you add stuff to it and I don't need to be addicted to anything.

    Americano: Double shot of espresso
    1 table spoon of sugar free vanilla
    2 table spoons of steamed heavy whipping cream
    1 packet of stevia powder

    8 times per per day for the past 20 years. Because I work from home and because I love coffee.

    Still drink coffee, but I don't add anything to it.. Need that coffee for a nice wake up at work.. Only have 2 cups though (1 large cup).. I am sure everyone has reasons to drink or not to drink it.. I don't see it having any problems with my weight loss.

    Same here. I think when I added sugar to it, it caused problems for my weight loss, so now I'll either drink it black or with 2% milk. At one point I couldn't drink unsweetened coffee, it was just too bitter for me, but now, I'm actually enjoying the flavour of the coffee itself, buying a good quality brew helps.

    I don't, but I've never really been a coffee person.

    I'm not drinking coffee - but I've never, ever enjoyed coffee. I just don't think it tastes good.

    I am drinking lots of caffeine free herbal tea lately just because I'm too cold to drink plain water!

    I quit coffee back in early November, had the flu and the day of migraines that comes without coffee passed so I just quit. Then on Black Friday my dad tells me he got me a Tassimo for Christmas! (Something I had wanted previously to quitting...). And he got a great deal on it!!!
    I think I've had 3 cups of coffee since Christmas, I love a fancy latte or something, but don't want to get back to drinking it every day. Just a personal choice, not really any 'good' reason for it!!! I might look for some decaf t-dsic's, but then I wonder if that's really any better for you? What chemicals are used to decaffeinate coffee? *sigh* I guess I just want to be healthy and wonder where coffee fits into that... sorry, I don't think I really answered your question at all...

    I really enjoy my morning coffee. I get up at 4:40 am, and usually doing a workout by 5. I've tried giving up coffee, but especially in the winter (when I am in hibernation mode), I really feel much more ready for the day when I have it. I've always taken it black, and I mix a pot half decaf, half regular, which lasts me through the morning usually, then I have water or in winter, tea.

    I drink at least half a pot every day. I use coffeemate or international delight in it. I love all the different flavors.

    Saturdays I go to coffee with friends. I usually splurge and get something fancy but also try to keep it under 200 calories.

    I love coffee of ALL kinds.....hot, iced, frappe's....I just enjoy the taste. I will account for it in my daily caloric intake.

    I drink a cup in the morning sometimes 2. Then I switch to tea, at least 4 cups.

    I've lost 40lbs while drinking 2 cups a day, with sugar-free creamer and Splenda. I don't think it has hurt my progress and I NEED the extra kick I get from caffeine in the morning.

    I drink coffee daily because I love it.

    Log the calories, move on. You have to do something that's sustainable for you; if you like coffee and you lose weight without coffee, you'll feel like you're cheating yourself every time you drink some at a later point.

    There's nothing wrong with any food. Some you'll pay for in terms of satiety, but no food should be totally eradicated from your diet if you love it.

    Coffee and bacon make life worth living! Or at least, me easier to live with. A good, strong cup of coffee keeps me human :drinker:

    I drink 3-4 cups a day.. I put some creamer in it, but just enough to get a taste. If I don't drink it, I'm a complete @$$ so, everyone likes me better when I have it. :)

    I drink 3-5 cups per day, but black. I used to drink it with cream and sugar, slowly decreased the sugar until I wasn't using that, and then one day just cut the cream (for the calories).

    I've considered quitting, but when I've tried, people hate me. :)

    IMO, there is no reason to give it up, and some studies show that there are a few health benefits also. Google and you will have a ton of articles to read while you sip your cup of coffee.
    Personally, I have no inclination to give up coffee today or anytime in the future. Love the taste, and take it with a bit of skim milk, so does not really matter from a diet perspective ( i.e drinking my cals). Have 3-4 large cups.
