I wouldn’t drop on the calories, sometimes it takes time for the scale to start moving. Take measurements. Maybe you are still dropping cm’s. 

I also don't think you should go less, especially if your body is already telling you no. It might work for the short term to lose weight but in the long run I'd not sustainable and you might just gain the weight back anyway. If the scale isn't moving after reduced calories maybe look at what you eating specifically - is it refined carb heavy foods like breads, pasta etc (those cause water retention), or is it whole foods (veg, fruits etc), try stick to unprocessed measures as well (I was shocked because I thought unprocessed was basically anything besides sausages, bacon etc, but it includes many more things than just that). The hardest thing is to stick at it, even when you don't see immediate movement, or you plateau, but with hard work and determination you will definitely see the results 

I also weigh my food on a good scale - I was also surprised by how many times my estimations were way off 😂😭 

You are starting at a similar place to where I was, and my long term goal is similar to yours (short term going by end of year is 69, then 62 by end of next year August and then I will reevaluate) so I get you!  

Thanks guys. I am weighing my rice on a scale. I am finding it hard to calculate the calories as I make mostly curries. So I just take the high calorie value choices closest to what I make at home. And I am even eating my meals out of a coffee mug currently. The mug is not filled to the top. I do not eat breakfast at all. I have one cup of coffee a day. I only drink water otherwise. If I have a cooldrink, it is no sugar cola, which apparently has 3-7 calories per glass. And that is restricted to 2 a day. Lunch will be either 2 boiled eggs with 2 crackerbreads or 2 cracker breads and a slice of cheese. I have currently cut out bread.  

When I make something like a curry I use the website https://www.verywellfit.com/recipe-nutrition-analyzer-4157076 I then add everything that I put in the curry (which I would make a family sized portion) which will give the overall calories for the whole curry Then I weigh out my portion 🙈 Its annoying and takes some effort but I feel like I then have a bit of a better grasp (I don't tend to add things like the salt, pepper, spices etc)  

Thanks Mich@2315, I will check out that web site. I obviously need to still make the meals my hubby enjoys, but I need to check my intake, so I hope it will help 

Oh I know how that feels - then add two kids that ALSO want something else to eat 🤪
