That mess has caused me more issues with my teeth and body that I don't like. I cannot remember if I already posted this; but I was telling Ruff one day, that when I would have my morning coffee; I would start with a 12oz Starbucks cup and add two tablespoons of creamer. The coffee is 2 calories for each 12oz and the creamer is 35 calories for each tablespoon. Already, I have consumed 72 calories just in coffee. I would have atleast two cups of coffee every morning. This adds up to 5 calories for coffee and 140 calories for the creamer. Multiply that by seven days and you get: 35 calories for coffee and 980 calories for the creamer. Total calories consumed in my morning coffee: 1015. Muliply that by four weeks and you get: 4,060 calories...That is an additional pound every month...No wonder I am feeling much better and less bloated.

Good Luck today and have fun,

The creamer is killer!

I recently discovered I was consuming up to 240calories a day from half & half alone (in my 3 cups of coffee each morning).
40 calories a go (for 2Tbl) and I was having more than 2Tbls in each cup. It was shocking.

I've not given up my morning coffee but I have become stringent in my measuring of half & half.
