10 days isn't very long. I wouldn't start panicking yet. OP is avoiding answering the question about the food scale. I'd say if the weight doesn't start coming off in the next couple weeks then really look at your logging. That's usually where my issues are when I am not losing.0

Not losing weight doesn't always mean you're eating too much. If she's eating too little her body will go into starvation mode and then she won't lose weight either. Everyone is different and you have to figure out what works for you.
I don't agree everyone is different, we're like little snowflakes. But essentially for weight loss we're generally all the same. And as @KorvapuustiPossu already linked that great article, take some time to read it and get a better understanding.4 -
This thread is a hot mess. I'll offer my advice though--OP be a little patient. Sometimes it takes a couple weeks to see a drop. In the meantime, double check your logging for accurate entries and buy a food scale if you don't have one.3

Yup obligatory starvation mode comment and the added bonus of a diet soda has tons of sodium comment.3 -
The chemical compounds in diet soda attach themselves to the cell membrane of fat cells, causing them to be 27%bigger, which then triggers Starvation Mode.15

I think it was a joke - it sure made me laugh!1 -
Also, don't eat right before bed. Your body does not digest food unless you're awake, so going to sleep right after eating means the food undergoes cell division inside your body, and it's like you ate twice as much.8

No. Your body doesn't just stop working and digesting food just because you're sleeping.2 -

It made me laugh too, I hope that is what was intended.0 -
I never lose right away after changing to healthier eating habits/more active lifestyle. It takes like a week for me. Patience, sadly, is something I really needed to learn with dieting. You'll start losing, just hang in there and stay consistent.0

Starvation mode is not real, you body will not hold onto fat.0 -

More misinformation. Not true. I eat 40%-50% of my calories before bed. I can eat over 1k calories before bed. I have never had a problem losing weight and keeping it off doing this.1 -

This thread pretty much has it all. Only thing missing is the "you are working out now and muscle weighs more than fat" argument.4
