In the last week I changed two things about my diet... one is I stopped drinking diet soda (**** aspertame creeps me out) and the second one is I started taking pink patches. Funnily enough the scale tells me I've lost weight at a much slower rate than the usual before I started taking patches and stopped drinking 1 can of diet soda a day. (Even though I've eaten less than usual since then also!!!) Now... that's odd! I wonder what's causing it... the pink patch or the diet soda? In theory, the pink patch and stopping to drink diet soda should cause a weight loss (or at least help with water retention)? I'm confused now!

I couldn't find relevant information about it on google, when i searched. In theory, both these moves should at least have made things remain the way they are, not work in a counter productive way to my diet!

Any suggestions?
