    Tim hortons is my mega downfall. When I'm at work and get that 3pm sweet tooth, I would have a large double double and a donut, well right there, that's over 500 calories! So now I've switched to a medium with cream and splenda. and skip the donut! I haven't had a donut in a month and a half, and I don't even miss them.

    Good for you! I am a Timmies tea drinker.. xl 3 cream and 3 splenda... thats 90 calories! eek. So I have cut down to only once in a while getting it.. But i was absolutely floored when i saw what the whole wheat bagel with plain cream cheese calories were! So much for thinking it was a healthy choice (compared to the other choices) It is amazing how cutting out even one thing can make sure a but difference.

    large coffee, 2 milk 1 sugar.

    I find their coffee naturally sweet already. I get used to it but it definitely has a distinctly different taste than any other regularly brewed coffee.

    I have never heard this expression, does it refer to the way disposable coffee cups are rolled along the top or something else?
    Yikes! No Roll up the Rim is worth that many calories ;)

    It's when I see those numbers that I am happy that I drink my Timmies black!

    Roll up the Rim is their contest campaign thingie. They print prizes or most often "Please Play Again" under the roll at the rim. Totally a Canadian thing. :)

    I was SHOCKED with how many cals are in bagels. I had a quarter of a bagel with butter and I think it's about as much as a cookie...I'll take the cookie thank you very much!

    Have you coffee and tea drinkers tried milk instead of cream? I only drink tea so I get milk and that's fine. I know though from making my husband's coffee in the morning he will only drink it with cream and sugar. Does it really make that much of a difference in the taste?

    The fat molecules in the cream bind to the coffee, enhancing the flavour. It really does make a difference, and takes some getting used to. I have been a coffee drinker for 25 years, and I cannot drink it with milk. I do have it down to 5% fat half and half, but I cannot make that last jump to milk.

    Drinking a Timmies medium (new size) regular right now...hope I win a car!

    Force yourself to drink black coffee for 2 weeks and you'll never need cream and sugar (or those 150 calories) again.

    I tried that several times but I just can't do it. I would rather give up coffee than drink it black.

    Me too. I'd rather give up some food in my diet to save the calories, and enjoy my coffee w/ cream and sugar. I just can't drink it black....

    There is nothing like a cup of freshly ground black coffee. When the coffee tastes just like the freshly ground beans smell...mmmmmm.

    Being of Scandinavian descent, I'd be kicked out of the clan if I soiled it with milk or sugar.

    Awesome job on figuring out the calories and making the changes. I used to have 2 extra large double double's from Tim Horton's now I have 1 extra large (old size) with 2 cream.

    Before I joined MFP I would have a Venti White Mocca with whipped cream at least once a day and couldn't figure out why I wasn't losing anything. I was blown away as to how many calories are in just one of those, I don't even drink them any more and if I crave Starbucks (I prefer second cup) but anyways if I crave a specialty coffee I will treat myself but I get a smaller size and usually make it a skinny non-fat.

    It is our "snacks" that usually put us over.

    Also from Edmonton lol.
