    It’s only been a month and you started lifting weights too. Give it another month until you make changes.

    I'm close to your height/weight and activity level. I would definitely be losing at 1800 calories a day - and my first thought was measuring - but if most of your days are like the one you shared - even if your measuring was off "a bit" - I'm referring to those items that you have measured in tablespoons and cups which are both notoriously inaccurate - I would expect you to be losing. Only you know if it was off a bit - or if extra food has been getting in there.

    Is your activity new? The weightlifting / walking? If so - my guess would be that is why your weight is not coming down - especially if this is your first month of a calorie deficit when things tend to happen quickly.
