I'm gonna lose 5 stone!

[calmday]

Hi all. I weigh 14 stone 6. I put on five stone or so while being treated with antipsychotics. I'm now off them, and off mirtazapine as well (which is well known for weight gain).

So I've got five stone to lose. Gonna do it by drastically reducing my calorie intake. I'm not hungry so I'm not gonna have any lunch. I'll just have tea today.

I drink 3 cans of diet soda a day. Does anyone know if this is bad for weight loss?

Wish me luck

Yes it's bad. You won't sustain that

Maybe read up on weight loss?

YES! It's not good for your health. It could lead to weight gain, not weight loss, i only use soda to whiten my teeth.

Well I'm down to 13 stone 10.6 now. I've been restricting my calories to roughly 1000 per day, each day I get a bit lighter on the scales

Why do you keep saying gonna? Do you mean "going to" or does it mean something else?

Nice work, Loubilou.
