Will I ever break this plateau? I need inspiration:(

Options
Been counting macros for a week. Been pretty good and consistent, mainly focusing on micro nutrient dense foods with some treats fit in every day. I am completely convinced that the science of it is true and logical and will work but of course there are exceptions right???... Been at a 122lb plateau for months seems like. I realize that one week with macros and getting skeptical is a little impatient but still, I can't help but wonder if I'M different.. if there is something wrong with me because i still haven't lost a pound and I feel like I WILL not break this damn plateau by eating a treat a day even if it DOES fit my numbers...

The other thing is, if I never see do results with this, I assume some would say I need to lower my numbers. but I'm already hungry all the time as it is.

I dunno I am just really frustrated and feel like no matter how much I research I won't find any comfort or good advice specifically applicable to me... and I so badly wish that I could find some kind of trainer where I live that does IIFYM and maybe have a few sessions or consultations at least, because I also want to get into a gym and start lifting.... following all these contest vloggers on youtube really grows on ya..... It would be so awesome if I could just freaking shred the rest of this fat on my belly and get ripped..... but I am so much at the beginning of all of this I just don't even know what to think right now -_____-

This post is way too long but I am having a very negative outlook right now and I just wan't some hope!!

    I feel you! I have about 30 more pounds to lose (way more than you for sure) but I found that I plateaued hugely while eating IIFYM. It is a great way to maintain, but for me I couldnt lose. I too, thought, "I am just a weird person and my body is weird." I don't know how in the hell these women are able to eat 2500 calories a day and lose weight. But it is not for me. Good luck. You will fight it and make it. I hope I do too!

    If you really want to you can use an online nutrition coach that will guide you through your macros! I just started with Kristin Pope of Barbells and Bows and so far I'm really happy :)
    But there are tons of others. Another program Ive heard good things about (my husband uses it) is Avatar Nutrition- and it's only $10 a month.
