    Honestly, I need my 16oz cup in the am. If I'm home I use French Vanilla creamer and I use it till it's pretty light.
    At work I use half and half and 3 splenda even though they say splenda makes you gain weight.

    That is the one thing I just need, I'm NOT going to stress that one thing...until everything else is on point and I plateau. Then it will probably be quite obvious lol....

    Venti Skinny Cinnamon Dolce Latte--as much as I try I am not a fan of breakfast...so right, wrong or otherwise I take my 160 calorie Venti coffee and the 15 g of protien it provides. :happy:

    2 jumbo cups a day, with cream and sugar. I have sworn off store bought creamer, as I found a recipe for creamer on Pinterest without all the crap chemicals. It's merely milk, sweet condensed milk, a pinch of cream, vanilla and some Torani caramel syrup. Yum.

    I drink about 2 cups in the morning. I use 2 tsp of FF creamer (20 calories total) and a splenda. Try using like a french vanilla calorie free syrup or a hazelnut.

    I have currently given up lattes. I havent had one now in about a month. I love drip coffee with sugar free creamer such as international delight (french vanilla).

    I drink it the way I like it. I do usually 24 oz in a day if I'm home doing nothing (with splenda and Natural Bliss creamer).

    But if I'm out and about, I usually grab another 16 ounces (with cream and sugar) on the road.

    It's one of the ways I choose to spend my calories and I log it. I'm not really willing to cut back/cut down at this point because it's my happy place. Maybe someday I will graduate to skim or black, but not right now.

    About 3 cups a day with way too much FrenchVanilla creamer. 300 calories all together. I know I should cut it out but am not willing to yet.

    I usually have 2 cups of coffee each morning. About a year ago I switched to unsweetened vanilla almond milk (Blue Diamond) instead of creamer. It only has 40 calories per cup. I use ~ 1/4 cup of almond milk in a large cup of coffee for only 10 calories!

    I drink mine with just a single packet of splenda. I'm not a huge hot coffee drinker so I only have about 1 cup a week! My biggest weakness is iced coffees. I love cold coffees like iced coffees and blended coffees the most which is probably alot worse for you than hot coffee. >.<

    I like mine black but my taste for that didn't come over night. I used to put creamer in it and then I got lazy to add the creamer so I would drink it black. After drinking so many cups this way I now love it black and would never go back.

    I to have gone black and never gone back... with coffee... I am equal opprtunity with most foods though...

    With chocolate protein powder!!! :D it is mighty tasty. I use Trader Joe's whey protein powder, as it dissolves pretty easily. Yummy and way better for you than a mocha!

    As long as you include the calories in your coffee within your daily allowance I shouldn't think there is a problem.

    I used to work in a coffee shop during university, and would drink several cups of coffee a day every day (soooo not healthy), so I've converted myself to green tea. Might have one cup of coffee a week (with one milk and one raw sugar or honey).

    If you're wanting more coffee in the day, maybe try drinking teas instead?

    I love coffee with half and half and lots of sugar, but I've managed to cut back to only 1 regular sugar and skim milk and i actually enjoy it. It's very encouraging to see all these people who managed to change their tastes to only like black coffee.... I'm trying!

    With half and half, and yes, I count the calories. The only time I drank it black was when cream wasn't available; at one point I used to put heavy cream in it, say 25 years ago.

    Iced coffee with one splenda and lots of skim milk. However, it is my only coffee of the day. On the good side, it wakes me up. On the bad side, I'm thirsty and going to the bathroom an hour or so later. I don't think it is one of my better habits. :smile:

    The caffeine hits your bloodstream much more quickly if you take it as an enema. But so messy!
