    I make sure to measure out 8oz cups and will only have 2 cups a day now (I have cut way back). I'll use a splenda pack for each cup and 1 tablespoon of Dairyland 18% coffee creamer in it. That way I can still have a couple cups a day and not kill my diet :)

    I am a coffee lover, I drink it most the day but was looking for something to help me cut down as I use sweet n low in it. I found Bio Coffee at a Health Food Market, it is absolutely wonderful!! It's made by Food For Life - coffee/wheat grass, it's got such a good flavor, you really don't have to add anything to it but I sometimes put a few drops of coconut milk in it. It's fairly expensive but I think its worth it!!

    I drink it normally, with cream and a little sugar (sometimes Truvia). All told it's around 70-80 calories. I make it work with my goal so I can have my coffee and lose weight too. :)

    You know, I've tried splenda, less sugar, no sugar, fat free milk, soy milk, etc. But my coffee just doesn't taste the same. I have decided not to change my coffee for this new lifestyle ... so bring on the half and half and sugar. :)

    I drink it with a 1/4 cup of 1% organic milk. I am not fond of sugar. I tried Almond MIlk, but while it can be a good baking replacement or for smoothies, I feel like that 1/4 cup of milk in my (normally only 1) cup of coffee is not that big a deal. It is the only time I 'drink' milk, because I was lactose intolerant as a teenager and somehow cannot stomach straight milk now.

    Honestly, I would probably give up another 200 calories off my diet rather than change how I take my coffee.

    I LOVE my coffee! My latest indulgence is 1 tbsp. of Coffeemate Caramel Macchiato creamer in a 12 oz. mug. Never cared for it too sweet as an adult so this is just right for me. Only 35 calories and it works in my daily calories. I can even drink a 2nd cup in the afternoon or evening if I want :drinker:

    Espresso. I don't even get any hydration benefit out of it.

    My new start of the day. I sweeten with stevia, extracts (vanilla), unsweetend almond milk or original coconut milk creamer, nutmeg, cinnamon or just sweetend & w/ creamer (above). I got a coffee maker ( Keurig Vue) for Christmas & it saves me lots of money & now I'm learning to be my own barista. :drinker:

    My 2 cups every morning I just cannot give up! Though I have cut them down in calories over time. I now take 2 tbsp of FF Creamer (has to be Land O'Lakes) and Splenda for total of 20 calories per cup.

    When I was a teenager I would put lots of cream and sugar. For the past 1-2 years I have just been putting cream (any 35 calorie flavored cream and its good enough). When I go to Starbucks and get it I put sugar in the raw in with cream. Otherwise no sugar.
