Hi everybody,

I am convinced that caffeine (in coffee) is stalling my weight loss. (Besides, a recent trip to the emergency room for caffeine-induced heart palpitations doesn't bode very well either.) Therefore, I'm slowly coming to the conclusion that I need to ditch the caffeine.

Fortunately, I don't touch soda, which I consider to be a nutritionless, evil beverage (just my opinion, of course). I'm looking for any words of encouragement from you LC-ers who have succeeded in getting off the caffeine.

Because I am pretty much a dyed-in-the-wool addict, I can't seem myself "moderating" with half-caf or decaf coffee. Even green tea, as good as it sounds, still contains caffeine. I need to get off of it completely. Abstinence, just like with the sugars.

Thanks a lot!

Tim
