I know there are people here more knowledgeable than I am, but here's my try at helping: You could try cutting back your workouts to 5 times a week (some people do less with success). You have to give your body a chance to heal, rest, and recover. It doesn't do any good if you overdo it exercising. Personally I always weigh my lowest after I have had my 2 off days from exercising. Sometimes I feel pooped enough and I take 3 days off once in a great while. Try cutting back a little and see if that's what's happening...over doing it.
I have also read that you should keep your workouts under one hour if possible. Something to do with cortisol levels and muscle catabolization, which is something you don't want. I am sure others can explain it better.
Also, are you sure you are stalled? Stalled means no scale OR tape measure movement for I think a month or more. Are you measuring yourself? You could be losing fat which would show inches lost, and also gaining muscle, which could be why the scale hasn't budged yet. I went through this myself at one point, and others here pointed out that I really wasn't stalled at all. Good luck to you!
