No! Don't stop measuring! If you can't afford a scale (which you can find for $15-20 at Target), keep measuring. A scale is just more accurate, and some people are assuming you're not measuring because you're using cups, which isn't fair. Measuring with cups is better than not measuring at all. Keep measuring, your logging looks great. Try lowering your calories by 250-300 and only eat back half of your calories at most, if at all. Adjust as you go.
Do you use a heart rate monitor for exercise or do you use MyFitnessPal's exercise database? Their estimates can be very off, so if you use their estimates, it's best to shave 25% off of the calories it says you burnt.

You're doing fine, really. Just cut your budget by like 250-300 from what you're eating now, and it'll start to come off. Dont't quit! And feel free to friend me.0

You're not alone.
I use Fitbit and time my exercise and let them just adjust my calories based on how active I was. As I figured mfp was overestimating calories burned.
