I lost 7 lbs. during my two week induction and then nothing... That was three weeks ago. I had been drinking at least 3 or 4 Diet Mtn. Dews a day. Well, I ran out of them and didn't buy any more. I got Diet Rite instead. Needless to say, I have lost six pounds in the last week and it is even that TOM. No more aspartame for me. Bye Bye Diet Mtn. Dew!!!
