Karth: Be sure to measure yourself at a consistent time each day (eg after waking up, before going to bed). Also when calorie tracking, I tend to overestimate the amount of calories I consume (as nutrition labels have been known to lie). How long have you been at this for?
I measure every Sunday morning after my morning piss, I do my best to not anything late on Saturday nights.
I've been at a calorie max of 1600 for about 5 months along with consistent weight lifting. The length of time coupled with lack of weight loss is what's concerning me.

What is your type of weight lifting, how do you do it? Because (I'm sure you know), muscle weighs more than fat, and if your weight lifting methods build muscle MASS then you will actually end up going neck and neck for overall weight (in most people) compared to the fat

That's a good point. Both during my current run and when I first began lifting I noticed my weight staying more or less static. Granted, I wasn't calorie restricting, but a lot the mass constituted by fat was being replaced by lean mass. If you feel an improvement in physique or strength while your weight is staying static, Karth, then there's nothing to be concerned about.
Of course, if you wake up and suddenly you're a 60-yo woman, I can work you up for hypothyroidism I should learn to read threads thoroughly.
