I find it much easier to maintain a calorie deficit and hit my macros with less workouts. I literally track everything that I put in my mouth now, and wow it was shocking how off I was when I first started. It's 1000% the calorie input rather than the calorie output for me! Susan Niebergall's book Fit at Any Age and her Instagram have a lot of good info. |

thanks for the info about the length of your workouts.

Strength training has changed my body like nothing else. Yes, calorie deficit is primary in losing weight - but that hasn't changed my body, just made it smaller. Strength training has added muscle, which has slimmed me down in a way that just losing weight wouldn't achieve and it has made me less of the type I am (pear, apple) at the time.

If I'm doing more strength training, my weight is always a few pounds higher - but I look and feel better.
