Hello...
Protien coffee is a beautiful thing! I brew my coffee then I put a scoop of chocolate flavor powder in my cup then pour in the coffee while I stir. If your coffee pot makes very hot coffee let it cool a bit because  the powder can curdle :( you'll know if it did because it will all float on the top. Yuck! Make sure u use a powder that you like. If it tastes like butt plain it will probably taste like butt in coffee :) enjoy!!

Hello...
I got on the scale this morning and I am down 2 lbs since Tuesday, which was day 3 of my pouch test. I feel very good and I haven't had any cravings.  I have been tracking my calories on Livestrong/Myplate and it helps too.  One thing I would recommend with the shake would be to not use both the yogurt and the protien powder at one time.  It makes the calories count go up faster. Unless you add the yogurt for thickness, I would omit it and either eat it later alone or have another shake with just the fruit and yogurt. I don't think you really need both in there. That's just my opinion.  On the day I had alot of fruit (in one smoothie and in one homemade juice) my calories were higher than any other day on the program.   

As far as the coffee goes, I usually have mine right when I get up then I wait 30 minutes or so and then eat my bfast.  Shakes don't fill me up. I eat them mostly because I need the protien. 

As far as the emotional eating, I highly recommend "The Solution" by Laurel Mellin. You can get a copy for about $5 w/shipping on half.com or amazon.com. It really looks at the core of why we eat. She believes that we eat because we are so filled with distress that going inside ourselves is no longer safe so we look for external solutions to ease our pain and distress.  She says that if we can learn to deal with the distress we can gain control over our weight problem.  It makes alot of sense.  Check it out. 

Good luck!! You are on the right track! This group has really helped to focus me! Gotta go, coffee is ready :)

You are right about the cold ingredents first. I forgot that step :) I mix a little bit of milk with my powder then add the coffee. Thanks for explaining that :)

I forgot to mention: If you are worried about the milk cooling your coffee too much, try microwaving the coffee for 30 seconds or so, and it will be good and hot.  Then when you add the milk/protein powder mix, it will be a perfect temp.
