Welcome.
1800 calories is very low for your weight.

If you use the Harris-Benedict formula, you'd probably aim for more like 2100 calories before any extra exercise is factored in.
You might be losing weight very quickly right now, but it may not be sustainable. I don't want you to get dissappointed if things slow down. At some point, your body may slow down to compensate for so few calories.
As to foods, what type of diet are you following? That might help to point you in the food direction.
