So i drink a diet soda maybe 1-4 times a week, how will that effect me in the long run? i know its bad from all the artificial flavoring and junk but i havent seen much of a change in my body weightwise and in measurements...
I'm thinking maybe all the acidity will affect your bones/teeth in the long run. I would just stick to water, even though diet soda is considered calorie-free too. If you want flavor, just add a little lemon juice.
I don't think 1-4 cans of soda a week will have any long term effects.

Lemon juice is just as acidic as soda.
A couple of diet sodas a week isn't likely to hurt you if you're not allergic to artificial sweeteners (which I'm assuming you're not). And if it keeps you from drinking regular soda, it's actually helping.
So you can log your weight -- which allows you to do the following:
- Plot your weight curve
- Analyze the trend of your weight (see under Recent in the figure above)
- Determine the projected target date (see under Overall in the figure above)
