Hi everybody,how's it going :)

before i start,i just want to apologize for any mistakes,english is not my first language.​

i'm 20 yrs old and 145 lbs...i started dieting about 2 months ago,right when i joined this forum but i wanted to lose some weight first before i actually started posting in it...don't really have a good reason to explain why,it's just a thing..ya know ? anyways,i started at 172 lbs...i wasn't really serious about dieting until about mid april,the first couple of weeks,i lost a good amount of weight,then it slowed down a bit but it was still good i guess... then it slowed down even more which frustrated me on some days and led me to "cheating", i would gain a pound or two and then go back to the same number that frustrated me...and now i have been stuck at 145 lbs for about three weeks :( by the way,i didn't follow any special program,no famous names or anything like that,i just tried to eat what's "good",,mostly vegetables,fruits,grilled chicken,yogurt...i exercised but not regularly,i.e on my own at home,actually i just started going regularly to the gym last week,the last time i exercied which was on tuesday i came home really hungry and ate stuff i havent had in months,and continued to do this for the past 4 days :( i'm very disappointed in myself but i plan on going back to dieting tomorrow,i'm just afraid that by the end of the week i will still be stuck at 145 or even worse gain some weight (i binged alot these past 4 days)....i'm looking forward to making great friends here,encourage and support them,and have their support as well..i would love to hear any kind of advice from anyone..
 
The best advice I can give is to just stick with it! When you mess up, just start over. No need to dwell on the past. Make the right choices now. You've already come this far, don't give up now! Congratulations on your loss.

Changing up your diet and exercise plan might help you break the barrier you have hit. What is your height and your goal weight?
 
thank you so much :) i'm going to change up my exercise,i'm not sure how to change up my diet 'cause that's usually when i start screwing up,but i'm going to try :) my dream goal is 120 but i would be VERY happy at 130, you know in 2005 i reached 125 which was my lowest ever but what's funny is that at that time i wasn't happy about it !?! NOW when i look at the pics i know that it was great.you don't know what you got til it's gone :p oh and i am 5'4, again,thanks :) and i hope we'll be friends.
 
I definitely know how you feel. There were times when I would remain at a certain weight for awhile, because I would cheat on my diet and what not, and I would feel down about it. The best way I got off that habit was by trying to keep goals in mind for my weight loss. When I would go shopping I would by a jeans size smaller than what I should. I would try them on frequently and it would help motivate me to lose more weight and stay focused. Every time I was able to fit in those smaller jeans I would be very proud of myself and feel accomplished, which in return would help me stick to my diet and exercise. ^^
