My first week I lost 9lbs then the following 2lbs. That was four weeks ago. I seem to be stuck. I do 45 minutes of cardio burning 600 calories four days a week. Followed by twenty minutes of weight machines. I use the lose it program and record my calories as well as my time at the gym. On most days I eat my calories but sometimes am under by 300. Feeling frustrated. I can lose weight fine just watching what I eat but when adding workouts to it I can't lose weight. Doesn't make sense.

    So, how many calories are you eating every day?

    What's your BMR and TDEE (use this calculator http://scoobysworkshop.com/accurate-calorie-calculator/)

    BMR is 1810, TDEE is 3123 and on the days I work out its around 1800. So looks like I'm not eating enough calories!! From that chart it says daily calories based on goal should be 2498. So if I'm eating around 1800 calories but need 2498 I'm short. Is this what is causing me to not lose?

    This isn't going to be a straight line. Think about it this way: you are down 11 lbs in six weeks, which is about right. Over this short of a period of time, anything could be causing this "mini-plateau." My advice: eat 2200-2500 calories per day, don't eat back exercise calories, and see what happens in another few months. If the scale still hasn't moved, see your doctor for a full physical including blood workup.
