This is most definitely a "loaded" question. haha. But I will answer it like this:

My wife is having the same problem. There are lots of different reasons why the scale could be not moving.

As I'm sure you know, muscle weighs more than fat, so it is POSSIBLE that you're building muscle faster than you're losing fat. Note I said possible, not probable. Having said that, though, I have zero idea what your training routine, cardio routine, and diet are, so I couldn't even venture to guess how likely that is.

Four things we need to know:

a) how many calories do you eat, per day?

B) what does your diet consist of?

c) what is your normal workout?

d) how often do you work out?

:D

I agree with nontradguy but I'd add that you should sit down with your dietician/nutritionist and find out why this is happening. I did back in March and it made all the difference in my journey. Well worth the money.
