No coffee would have (I think) been the only deal breaker. I've always told myself for every cup you must drink an additional glass of water. I've got the coffee thing down to a manageable 2 or 3 a day. I might even switch to decaf - but since this is only day 3 I think I will figure out a few other things first.

Coffee is really my only vice in the world...its the one thing i can't live without AND...its not horrible for you (as long as its in moderation)....i try and keep my intake to no more than 2 cups a day :D...i dont even need it sweet...just missing proper cream...but im learning...or shall i say my taste buds are :D

I feel the same way, I will try and stick with two and see how that goes, and drink extra water..

I agree, it's my only vice too, and would prefer not to give up a cup or two a day..

One of the things I have LOVED in the past once fall arrives is a Starbucks pumpkin spice latte. In a former life, coffee mate P-Spice creamer was pretty darn close... (And easy on the wallet)..... Dynamite on this diet tho! Never again!

Finally got some of that Archer Farms Pumpkin Spice ground coffee today that was mentioned, from Target... :goodvibes:goodvibes:goodvibes:goodvibes:goodvibes :goodvibes:goodvibes:dancer::dancer:
lip smacking good usin EAS Cafe Carmel as creamer and a decent shake of cinnamon...
Prob nothing like Starbucks P-Spice...mmmmm...I can SURE live with this version tho' and can't really remember what the Starbucks was like anymore....! Probably would find it sickening sweet... Haven't had one now since Christmas. That's a good thing!

My previous famous quote...I want a little coffee to go with my cream! This has been rough!!! I came here looking for alternatives to half n half that would hopefully satisfy my cravings. I drink decaf and have for years due to fibrosis but I love the flavored creamers. Reading this thread I am encouraged to try flavored coffees. But if a substitute for half n half is out there I'm ready for it!

I was a half & half lover too. It was probably a bad habit to be in. I'm learning healthier choices now.
