Weight fluctuates, sometimes drastically. Weigh yourself every morning when you get up and after using the toilet. Preferably nude. Write down the weight. Watch the high points and low points both trending down over time. Ignore daily fluctuations as depressing as they can be. It's the trend that matters.
If you want to be more scientific, calculate a 10-day moving average of your daily weights. That number should be going down. If it's not, time to change some variable, like calorie intake or exercise.

I think you're doing really well by logging and tracking. The thing is, you don't know the accuracy of entries like 1.5 cups of Chicken stir fry. I think if you keep doing what you're doing, but also try as often as you can to create your own recipes or enter in things like stir fry by their separate ingredients (and of course weigh everything on a digital scale) you'll find more success.0

Yeah, as people have pointed out multiple times already, cups and pieces and such aren't reliable measurements, the same with homemade recipes if you're not the one that entered them into the database. You need to weigh things to know how many calories you're eating. The only things you can reliably measure in cups are liquids.
Also... for your diary today, where you've got a huge list of shami kebabs... you know you can just change the number of servings, right? You don't need to add individuals in multiple times, you can just enter 16 servings of one piece lol.0 -

Now get on the train towards your goals. I would say good luck but it's not. It's work and can be hard for some. It's not luck at all.
