I lost over 60 pounds getting obsessed with watching and playing basketball..

I'm new on this sub, so I'm sure it's been said plenty, but it's absolutely incredible how much passion you have for the means you're using to lose weight (lifting, running, etc) matters. The method most backed by research is of little use if you don't enjoy it or stay compliant. So a better way is simply to choose a method you're most likely to do.

Although it may have not been very efficient, I played a ton of basketball for a year and a half, lost over 60 pounds. I love the sense of mastery it takes. Getting good at it gives you confidence in your abilities in other areas. Also, crucially, learning about the details of the exact skills by carefully watching players like LeBron, Chris Paul, etc. drove me much further. It wasn't just like forcing myself to run, but a genuine interest in the mechanics of the sport and the limits I could push myself to...as Franz Kafka said, follow your passions mercislessly
