    Love coffee I drink way too much which is probably terrible. Starbucks is my favorite, try to stay away from the white mocha so yummy but not too good for you for a grande non fat no whip is around 350cal but can't hurt to try it once :)

    consider yourself fortunate you don't have creamer. in America, that extra "er" at the end of "cream" basically means "not cream, and probably not even dairy". I mean, they used to call it coffee "whitener"...mmmmm, appetizing. I sometimes still see packets of "whitener" at ball parks and such.

    It's fun when you're in the mood to play with fire. That stuff burns! I like to sprinkle it in the camp fire.

    Total coffee junkie here. I'm drinking 2 pots on a normal day. Sometimes more.

    Another coffee lover here.

    I love Starbuck coffee and used to have 3-4 Starbucks each day. A year ago I got very strong motivation to make immediate changes in what I eat. I also stopped drinking coffee then. I quickly lost 46 pounds. The first few weeks the coffee part was the most difficult for me.

    For ten months I didn’t drink coffee. Two months ago I started to cheat and became less restrictive with coffee drinking. Some weeks I drink a cup of coffee five days a week, some once or twice.

    I noticed that my weight loss slows down when I drink coffee. Did anybody observe the same?

    I love coffee also ,but I don't drink major coffee brands like Dunkin Doughnuts or Starbucks. I just like brewing a pot of Folgers coffee. My #1 favorite flavor of coffee is Folgers Breakfast Blend. :happy:

    Are you adding a lot of sweetener or milk to your coffee because that would account for the extra calories and sugar. Otherwise plain black coffee only has a few calories a cup so I'm sure that wouldn't be a reason for a major slow down.

    I am also a huge coffee lover! Every morning I drink about half a pot. Usually it is Seattle's Best or Maxwell House. I usually go to Starbucks twice a week and get a skinny caramel macchiato with an extra shot. I will say that if I just want regular coffee while I'm out I prefer Dunkin Donuts.

    I love coffee. I drink mine kinda plain, though. I like it with half and half and splenda. No flavors, etc. Also, my very favorite coffee comes from a local convenience store (believe it or not). It is called Sheetz. I only drink it in the morning, but I drink about a half of a pot. I know there are many nay-sayers who will tell me the splenda is horrible, but I don't care. This is what I like! :wink:

    Believe it or not...I LOVE McDonald's Coffee!!!!

    Me too! My favorite comes from Sheetz, but when I am out of town and there is no Sheetz, I always hit McDonalds! :wink:

    I love coffee but have been trying to limit it to 2 LARGE cups a day and switched to fat free flavored creamers.

    I really really wanted a coconut mocha frappuccino at starbucks in target the other day but convinced myself it really wasn't worth all the calories.

    it's hard - i miss my starbucks but i can eat so much more if i skip it

    We're here in Seattle!

    Been going black these days, but gotta have at least 2 cups every morning. Get the good stuff, it's worth it!

    I stopped drinking ALL caffeine then my Mum sent me up a sack full of different cafetiere coffee (including pina colada!). Doh! I love them, so try and have 1 every other day.

    I love Costa, the coffee they use is much nicer than Starbucks.
