Ten Reasons why you are not losing weight.

No. 7 You have hit a plateau

Almost everyone reaches a weight loss plateau at some point. As your body adapts to your workouts, it becomes more efficient at it and, therefore, doesn't expend as many calories doing it. You may find that after your initial weight loss, your progress will slow down and eventually stop.

Some common reasons for plateaus include:

Doing the same workouts over and over. Your body needs to be challenged to progress, so make sure you're changing some part of your program every 4-6 weeks.

Not eating enough calories. If your body doesn't have enough fuel to sustain your level of activity, you can actually stop losing weight.

Overtraining. If you exercise too much, the body sometimes responds by decreasing the amount of calories you burn during the rest of your day.

so in short, i should eat more and exercise less! Yay!!! How great is that :D
