I have not cheated on my diet at all but the scales have not budged in a week. Could diet cokes be hindering my weight loss? I'm doing 1200 calories btw.

One week without a loss is normal. Be sure your scale's batteries aren't dying and other than that, keep being patient.
No, diet coke is not hindering your weight loss.13 -
Weight loss is not linear. Is it near your t.o.m.? Possibly you ate some high sodium food and are holding water weight? Are you under some stress? Are you using a food scale and is your logging tight and accurate.
Relax and give it time. One week is not a stall. And diet coke would not hinder weight loss. I can't imagine why you would think that.

did you gain all the weight in a week?5 -
Log your weekly gains/losses and you will probably find a pattern of no loss or even gain every 4 weeks. The joys of being a woman.3

Diet Coke isn't hindering your weight loss.
Weight loss isn't a linear process and there are a lot of reasons that the scale will fluctuate. Good read about it here which may be helpful to you: http://physiqonomics.com/the-weird-and-highly-annoying-world-of-scale-weight-and-fluctuations/5
