Upped my exercise, no weight loss?

Hey all,

A couple of weeks ago I purchased a preworkout supplement which has had an amazing affect. I have gone from lifting weights for about 30 mins to now being able to lift weights for an hour easily.

The one thing I've noticed though is that my weight loss has stopped completely. I was losing 1kg a week prior and now it's stayed in the same spot for about 2 weeks.

Any advice on why? or what I can do?

    I might be way off here but it could be the creatine in your preworkout supplement. Creatine pulls water into the muscles cells to increase your pump and provide a quick burst of energy to the body to help you get those few extra reps...again just a guess

    Higher water retention. Normal and will subside.
