    Are you eating back exercise cals? What kind of deficit are you working with?

    I wouldn't panic too much. You've lost loads, and a slow down is probably inevitable. You might want to look up your maintenance cals, and ensure you're eating just a little under those (to lose about a half pound a week) plus your exercise cals.

    Bear in mind that with any new exercise regime, there's going to be an inevitable issue with water weight, and it might take a little while for that to settle down.
