Don’t worry about it, weight loss isn’t all that predictable. At first you lose weight easily when you start to restrict calories, then your body compensates by lowering your metabolism. So you end up with a weight chart that looks like a volatile stock market chart, but trending downwards over time. This is why I’ve factored in a ‘blowout’ day once a week when i eat twice as much, so my Celtic genes don’t respond as if we’re in a time of famine and start conserving energy by lowering my metabolic rate. I follow blowout day, a couple of days later with a one day ‘fast’ - have nothing until late afternoon then just a small low calorie meal. This keeps your metabolic rate adjusting frequently, in the meantime, develop some muscle by using small hand weights - if you don’t have any use any set of two objects you can lift easily that weigh more than 500g. 

Haha i also have those Celtic genes, which explains why I love potatoes so much 😁😆 thank u for your comment, its really helpful Nd I have taken a screenshot of it for my weight loss folder. It's so frustrating that the body always does that, builds up tolerances so quickly. It's also why I can't have my anxiety meds every day bcoz tolerance builds up so quickly
