Losing dress sizes from 16 to a 10- congrats!
Cannot add much to what's been said except the apple juice in the pm could be hindering fat loss....didn't see when you are doing cardio- you probably know already most effective in am before breakfast, 1 hour great if possible for your schedule. Switching to green tea from coffee gave good result for me- still something warm to sip- no sugar needed. More vegies always help feeling more full, more to chew, takes longer to eat.
If you feel tired in the daytime (this helped me also), possibly consider moving turkey to pm meals (tryptophan can cause drowsiness). Info on GI carbs (rice cakes) probably somewhere on the board in search- I have an article too I could send if you like.
Some gals remember when they were a certain weight and were happy with it, and set that as their new goal. Not sure how you got 145 as your goal weight, but as has been said, scales will no longer be a true sign of your progress now that you are resistance training. When people ask what I weigh & I tell them, they can hardly believe it.
Welcome to elite women hope to hear more from you. Good luck- stick with your determination!
