    I drink coffee occasionally, and 99% of the time I choose decaf because I find as I get older coffee does interfere with sleep, and evening is when I usually drink it.

    I drink coffee because it tastes good, wakes me up and cuts my hunger. I use one tablespoon of coffee cream per cup + one packet of splenda. I am trying to learn to like it black because I like to look badass, but honestly if you put a reasonable amount of cream and sweetener, drinking coffee should not jeopardize your weight loss.

    The research "Coffee and Health : A Review of Recent Human Research" by Jane V. Higdon and Balz Frei might interest you if you are questioning the effects of coffee on your health. It is a very nice and detailed study in which they, to make it plain and simple, explain that coffee is perfectly okay to drink as long as you are not too young or too old, do not have any illness that could be amplified by ingesting caffeine and keep it to a reasonable level of consumption.

    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'm kind of surprised no one has come up with a bacon-flavored coffee. Or have they and I just missed it?

    I have one cup with creamer in it. I do not plan on giving it up, probably just reducing the amount of creamer I use. I love it and it helps me wake up.

    I would never give up my coffee. I even put Coffee Mate in it. I put in two tablespoons in my first cup. Then I add coffee to the mix for subsequent cups. I know that coffee helps me control hunger as well as keeps me alert.

    I drink coffee every day! I don't know what I would do without it. I usually only drink it black though, every now and then I might go to starbucks and get a skinny latte or something. I know I drink more than I should, a pot a day can't be healthy.

    I drink a mug everyday with a splash of half and half. If I don't, people may die. ;)

    I have a large mug every morning of Nescafé gold with 3 sweeteners....took a while to get used to having it but prefer it now to sugar and I always ave semi skimmed milk.
    This is morning only then switch to squash for the rest of the day.

    It's my morning ritual and I love it! Has nothing at all to do with weight loss.

    Oh, and coffee has antioxidants & potassium, fyi.

    Yes, because I enjoy actually being able to function in the morning. All it takes is one cup for me with a splash of half and half, 1/2 packet Splenda and I'm good for the day.

    I like to think of my coffee habit as having sugar and creamer, with a splash of coffee! :laugh:
    I'm actually trying to learn how to have less coffee and only a few tablespoons of creamer and sugar. Slowly have to get used to weaning myself off the sugar.

    From what I understand caffiene (in moderation, of course) can promote weightloss.

    That being said, I generally pass on the coffee... but that's because I have hypertension. :happy:
