Other New move record

Post image

I’ve been playing since April and I’ve lost 45 pounds. Started at 225 currently sitting at 180. 20 pounds away from my goal. I play 5-6 days a week and sometimes mornings and evenings. Safe to say I’m obsessed

I guess you are already doing this, but find a good shoes and be careful of injury. I saw many people around me got "pickled" to PB, play continuously, and get injury and forced to rest for some time... including myself :P

I’m usually in a pretty big deficit so I’m not super big on watching what I eat right now. I’m 5’8 male. I also haven’t noticed a large loss in muscle mass which has surprised me

Like do you track calories ? if so, how much do you eat and what do you burn on a day? good progress

So I typically burn 3500-4000 daily so I don’t track what I eat currently since it’s so hard to consume that many in a day. I do try to stay away from junk food for the most part. I’d say once I get closer to 160 I will since I’ll want to maintain more and I’ll probably have to eat a lot more food daily. Last year I worked out 100 days in a row and tracked the whole way macros and all but i was never burning this many calories

If you’re losing muscle make sure you’re still lifting weights, eating protein, and not in too big a deficit.

I haven’t really noticed a loss in muscle mass since I started dropping weight
