Can you do too much resistance training???

I do cardio 6-7 times a week and lift weights 3 times a week. I have hit a plateau in my weight loss. I went for a third fill and I can eat more now than before and I am even more hungry. So I am trying to examine my workouts and see where I need to make a change to jump start the weight loss. I don't think I need to do more. I am already working out 2-3 hours a day 6-7 days a week. I do 1-1.5 hours on the arctrainer at 80-100 resistance (max 100). Is this doing more resistance training and possibly building muscle rather than burning fat. Should I knock the resistance back in order to jump start the weight loss again.

My legs are really starting to get muscular now and are not really getting any smaller, so I am afraid I am building muscle where I don't need it. I have plenty of muscle in my legs.

Any suggestions????

First of all, awesome job on the weight loss and fitness! Do you crosstrain and do 3-4 types of cardio? My body got really used to a kickboxing class I went to for a long time and it was hard to keep losing. When I switched to running, elliptical, biking and rotated those, I was able to start up again. You might even consider having a trainer at your gym look at your routine and build a new program for you. A couple of sessions is REALLY worth it. Then, in about 4-6 weeks, switch it up again. This has been most helpful to me. Good luck!
