How do you explain not losing weight?

I’ve lost a stone on my diet but over the last two weeks my weight loss has totally stalled.

I am a 5’6” woman who now weighs around 67kg and I’m eating 1000-1200 calories a day which should be sufficient for a 2 pound a week loss.

I don’t understand why it’s stopped for the last two weeks. My understanding of diet is very good. It’s not 1000-1200 calories but-frying-in-oil or with-the-odd-tbsp-of-peanut-butter. Has anyone else had this? Is two weeks a period of time I should worry about?

As I said, I’m sure my diet has been 1000-1200. There is probably some variation (I.e. when I meal prep for the week I measure into containers ‘by eye’ so the portions should on average be, say, 600 calories but Monday’s could be 500 and Tuesday’s 700 - but that should all come out in the wash) and I am 99% certain that over the two weeks my calories have been sub-1200 on average.

I don’t know what to do other than be more exact when I measure my food - but I don’t know what that would give me other than peace of mind, and I worry it would lead me to be obsessive (which has happened before).

(I weigh weekly).
