Diet drinks, aspartame and weightloss STALL.

[Pensive]

hi

during my first week i lost 7 pounds. The second week 2 pounds. And the nearly two weeks since zilch. I thought it over and the only new thing i introduced was Pepsi max [diet soda]. It has caused a great stall

Now i am sure that the drink is atleast 50 % to blame and maybe TOM is on his way too.
Needless to say i have stopped drinking pepsi max and any other diet drink and drink water only now. I was never a carbonated drink girl anyway, but i picked it up after missing my sweet foods.

ok so rant over, my Question is, how long till the effects of the diet drink wear off? when can i expect to start losing again? any ideas?

Well, weight loss often takes a break after the first two week.

A "stall" is also defined as no weight or inches lost for 4 weeks.

Crystal ball still in the shop.

Try not to worry I lost loads in my first week.........then slowed right down ..I lost nothing for 3 weeks now I lose between 2-4 lb a week and you just have to stick to it and trust it will come off in its own good time! I posted a thread when I worried it had stopped too..........defo give up the soda and stick to water and trust me it will drop again...just carry on as you are ....good luck

Just a normal little pause. Keep clean and keep going and pounds will fall off again. Good for to you not drinking pepsi max though. You're better without it anyways.
