I am going to break up with my fat free vanilla creamer in my coffee for one week and replace it with chamomile tea with stevia. I am convinced my 5 tbsp in the am is really hindering my progress. Anyone else ??

    If it fits your macro's you should have it. Need to enjoy something :)

    I switched to skim instead of half and half awhile back. It was a bit of a transition but not too bad. I never count it though on my calories.

    I had to slow it down with mine, I was going through a 32oz jug every 5 days (I drink ALOT of coffee) but I narrowed it down to about 4-5 tbls a day, so it takes me about 3 weeks to go through a jug now.

    definitely not! I love my coffee with cream so much that it's the first thing I think about when I wake up in the morning. I make it fit!

    I only drink 1 cup of decaf a day, I'm not breaking up with my coffee creamer. Nope, not at all. Worth every drop.

    Is there an AA group for coffee creamer addicts? I am. I swear I have the same problem. I do buy the sugar free stuff but those few extra calories every morning have to be adding up. and..I (oh my I'm going to admit this little white lie)....I never log it. :embarassed:

    I vow to try the same. Let's check in on Saturday and see how we did.

    I switched to sugar free, less calories and I was not getting enough fat anyway. So far, I am still losing weight so I will keep having it, although I do not necessarily object to parting ways with it ... just not yet :-)

    Went back to black coffee. Occasionally try the sugar free non-dairy flavor adders. Once every few months.

    I have gotten my Maxim (Korea) - Mocha Gold Mild Instant Coffee.. 55 cals. down to just one a day. I've been drinking various teas (green and spiced) during the day, with 1/2 pack Splenda. When Splenda is gone will switch to Stevia. :bigsmile:

    I always wondered if creamers were kinda bad for weight loss, even the fat free kind. I don't drink coffee often, but I totally stopped because I didn't think it was good. I'm really trying to give up the artificial sweeteners, though.

    I switched to the Coconut Milk Creamer (10 calories per tablespoon) and will use a flavored coffee instead of a flavored creamer.

    I'm with ya! I made the decision, after 25 years of drinking my coffee with creamer and sweetener, to switch to black coffee. I hated it at first but I'm good with it now.

    Nope. I just cut back to one cup per day (with 3 TBSP of Natural Bliss Creamer - all natural). I loved the coconut milk creamer, but the nearest place to get it is 100+ miles away, so that's not an option. :sad:

    I have one cup of coffee a day with 2 tbsp fat free creamer. I don't think I'll ever give it up. I don't see it affecting my loss at all. My Truvia addiction is a different story. I've been decreasing it by a 1/4 tsp each week and am down to adding only 1 tsp per cup of coffee. It does nasty things to my gastro system but I just couldn't stop cold turkey. Dang vices!

    Nope can not do it. I long for my coffee and cream every morning! Plus I am still losing so it does not seem to be affecting me.
