My weight has been static for a week. I've lost 8lb since new year but I have 28lb to lose before I get married in May. I am religiously counting every calorie, drinking 2 litres a day, no alcohol. Why is the weight not going down? I'm do demoralised.

It’s been a week. Weight fluctuates daily - sometimes by several pounds - depending on what you eat (some foods cause more water weight, some digest more slowly), your workouts/activity (water retention is common as your body repairs after a workout), weather (your body holds more water in hot/humid environments), hormones/menstrual cycle, and probably moon phases and who knows what else.
Use a trending app (Happy Scale for iPhone or Libra for android) and look at the tending line.
If you’re eating in a calorie deficit, you are losing fat. Water fluctuations can easily mask those losses when looking at your scale weight. Stay the course.
You have a very aggressive target. I wish you the best.
