    oh yes. Black coffee at least every 2 hours and preferably into a vein! Doesn't affect my sleep patterns.
    Every now and then I get concerned about something I read once (don't know where) about coffee and belly fat. might have been about cortisol...who knows. I just decided that coffee stops me killing people so I drink it as a service to humanity:wink:

    Maybe try switching to tea for a few cups during the day? I love Green Tea, and I recently discovered Earl Grey and love it.

    I haven't quit...I used to drink 6-8 cups with full fat creamer per day on average. The I switched to lattes....usually mocha or pumpkin with whipped cream. I have done the skinny latte or sugar free vanilla iced coffees plenty as well. Now, I managed to cut myself down to 8 ounces with max 4 tbs full fat creamer. Or I have max of 2 canned coffee drinks...they're popular here in Japan and only 45 calories which is less than my one cup. I can easily drink more....I just don't let myself.

    I love my coffee, and have no desire to quit, lol. I typically make it at home and add half/half, no sugar.

    I don't remember never being not addicted to coffee, I drink it since a kid, always no sugar and no milk.
    Recently I started to put a little bit of organic coconut oil in it, since they say it's good for health and I actually like it.
    Never had any regrets on drinking coffee

    I've been drinking coffee since I was in college. I did quit it for about 6 months, but doing so didn't help with my weight loss at all. I'm working with a nutritionist now and she says coffee is totally fine -- and in fact, there are some studies that think it has some health benefits. As long as you limit it to 1-2 cups in the morning I think it's fine. I have mine with half & half and MCT oil, which is derived from coconut oil.

    I don't think that I'm addicted to coffee although I have had 4 cups of it today (sounds creepy! No more that much coffee ever again!). But I do like coffee - no sugar, with a bit of milk. I mostly prefer instant coffee although ground coffee has been fine as well recently. ^^

    I used to drink 4-5 cups a day, 1 at home before work, 1 on the way, and 2 or 3 throughout the day. Then when I was pregnant I cut down to 1-2 a day. Now I drink at least 1 but no more than 3 cups a day. No flavor. Fat free half and half, no sugar.

    I don't like Starbucks myself. I do enjoy DD.

    I have been pretty addicted to coffee/caffeine ever since I came to college. I went from drinking zero cups a day to averaging 4-5. When I started going to the gym more often, I discovered energy powders and supplements such as Jack3d and NOExplode and liked the results very much! Even drinking a cup of coffee before a run makes the run much more productive.

    I bought an energy supplement stack on Amazon for about 30 bucks. It contained various powdered supplements in bulk form, including powdered caffeine. While it's not the most pleasant thing in the world, I actually started putting small amount of powdered caffeine in my water so I could drink more caffeine with smaller amounts of liquid. Powdered caffeine is pretty cheap in bulk and you can even buy empty gelatin capsules to put the powder in.

    Too much caffeine causes significant headaches for me, so I've started cutting back on the amount of caffeine I actually consume. On the other hand, when I get really bad migraines a little caffeine can actually help blast it away! Everyone is different, just make sure you aren't over doing it.
