What's your weight?
Just curious what the weight distribution is like among the footbagging population. Got back into playing recently after multiple years off and the last time I was regularly playing I was about 185-190 pounds, now that I'm up around 210-215 it is a LOT harder on my joints and ankles. Personally I'm not interested in losing any weight and I am actually planning on gaining more weight up into the 225 area. (not fat weight)
Particularly curious about how many other 200+ lb footbaggers are out there and how you deal with the extra joint stress. I focus on playing very smoothly, I use spencos, and I am currently looking into finding a decent and portable shred mat. I am also finding that sticking my legs in ice-water after a session is pure jesus. I should probably also do shorter sessions more often (30 minutes-hour each day), but am currently doing 2-3 hour sessions every other day.

Back in 2007 I weighed 170. Then I was playing a lot more and started getting bigger to where I was 190.
Now after I have had multiple injuries that kept me from playing and working out I weigh 230. I have been playing a lot recently and my joints an muscles feel good. I have always been a bigger guy so my body is used to it.
I have played 6 times this week and have been eating smarter (and not drinking as much beer) and as of today I am 221. I am trying to lose some weight, because if i do everything will be a little easier for me.

I weigh 180.
I'm also 6 foot 4 so i'm quite thin. I'm actually one of those guys that struggles to keep weight on as oppose to lose it, i'm down from 192 when i quit working out to finish school.

I owe footbag alot in the shedding weight category. I weighed 215 at my highest point and am now down to 165. Since starting it up I've lost 50 pounds and I would lose more if it makes it easier to do the moves. For sure I can make longer runs than when bigger but I think weight is something you adapt to. Kinda like a different shoe.. Sure it's hard at first but it gets easier with practice.

5'10" 190
Before footbag I weighed 280+. Footbag helped me shed pounds then I got injured and stopped playing for like 5 years. when I stopped playing I weighed 230. I got a phisical job and brought the work ethic footbag tought me. Now I'm back in the game and am down to 190. I still have a way to go before I would consider myself thin but footbag this time around was alot easier on my joints and alot easier in general.
