Yep, I drink it every day with real creamer (International Delight Caffe Breve vanilla caramel creme is my current favorite) and a packet of splenda+fiber. I even count it as water (gasp) in the counter at the bottom too.0

I drink 2 cups every morning with heavy whipping cream. Has not affected my weight lose. I just make sure I log it and all it cost me is 100 calories.0

I do. One of my non-negotiable items is my morning coffee. Using the theory "if you bite it, you write it" (saw this on another post, wish I knew who to credit for the quote...) just add the appropriate calories for the creamer / sugar in your diary. I actually created a recipe for mine, so I don't have to re-do it every day.
The very first meal I set up on MFP was my coffee. I drink about 3 mugs every morning, which is 6 cups total. :drinker:0 -
I drink about 3 cups a day and don't log it. I drink it black - I think a cup still has 1-2 calories, but I don't fret about it. Now, if I pick up a latte on the road, that gets logged since it's about 100 calories because of the amount of non-fat milk in it.0

Haha I set up a meal called "morning coffee" too :-) But I usually just do a "copy yesterday" now because it's fewer clicks.0 -
I didn't stop drinking coffee...I didn't start drinking coffee until I was 29 cramming for exams but I am definately a caffene addict now! lol I have one with creamer every weekday morning and one or two on weekend mornings. One totals 37 calories for me...I'm okaw y with that.0

I don't think it's that big of a problem. I was doing the same thing but recently switched to Black Tea as a substitute in my morning routine to avoid the creamer and sweetener calories.
Right now I am drinking TAZO Awake but I have also had Twinings Irish Breakfast Tea, which is good as well.0 -
Coffee with creamer is the only "unhealthy" thing i can't give up! Just make sure you measure the creamer, you would be surprised how much more you are really putting in if you don't! (:0
