How long will it take me to lose 1 and a half stone?

I'm 19 and weigh about 13 stone 13lbs. Want to lose the weight I gained from uni through drinking heavily and eating due to boredom.

I normally eat 2 full meals a day - most include salad, with around 1 yogurt a day or toast for supper.

My drinks are normally squash (vimto/orange) or the occasional coke.

I do swimming 2/3 times a week for around an hour each which include a 40 minute walk each way.

Update:

My height is also 6"2.

    You should cut out all junk food and soda. Swimming is a very good exercise. Do running also. Cardio will make you lose weight.

    Average weight loss is only 9-15lbs a year, so this is a long term lifestyle issue not a quick fix. You require both an appropriate diet and very regular vigorous exercise.
