Cardio Machine, Body Memory

Cardio and Lifting
So I've been working my tail off at the gym. Down 354 to 264 in 7 months. First three months solely cardio daily at 1hr. Month 4/5 until now...this.

Help me understand "over exercise"
What does over exercise mean? At what point am I wasting my time? Female Original weight 354 Current 264. Time taken to lose 8 months.

Workout Question
Okay, so this may seem like a stupid question... Workout girls, I like to wear mascara all day then head to the gym at night but when I leave the gym I would look like a circus clown from serious sweat and mascara running.

Mfp exercise calories autofill in
I'm a big girl and quite new to exercise. Since 1/20/17, 22 lbs lost mainly with 65 min daily on elliptical and 3 days a week weights.

Cardio and Weight Lifting
Right now I'm doing 65 min elliptical and 20-30 weight circuit daily. The scales moves but very slowly. Is this slow loss caused from gaining muscle and being more hungry hence eating a little more?
