Or if you do the same workout all the time it could be because your body is already in shape in all the areas your training, and you need to move on to different areas. Then again it could be because your not ajusting your calories to your weight loss, for every pound lost you need to cut out 10 calories( but dont quote me on that, Im not sure) Ther are so many reasons, I would just start ajusting things until you start losing weight again. You can do it!
