MAN v FAT Football

Been doing this for 2 years now. It's such a great concept and has been pivotal to my weight loss journey. Currently lost around 40kg and Man v Fat has been pivotal to that. Its inclusive of all skill levels and all types of people. Everyone is incredibly nice and it's a great place to go to be involved in a great community

Absolutely fantastic bunch of guys the camaraderie is amazing if you enjoy playing football and having a good laugh and want to lose some weight give man v fat a try you won't be disappointed

Joined in the summer and losing weight every week. Met some great people as well. Highly recommend to anyone but especially to those that find it hard to get motivated.

MVF is incredible, I was diagnosed with prostate cancer just over a year ago and the love and support that I have received from the guys at MVF Falmer has been mind blowing. MVF is far more that a weight loss programme or a football league its also a support network and brotherhood. The guys at MVF Falmer have really made a positive difference to the way I have coped with my diagnosis. PMA (positive Mental Attitude).

I can’t recommend Man V Fat enough, 6mths ago I couldn’t run the length of a five a side pitch, I was the best part of 130 kg, size 42 in waist and my blood pressure was around 140/99. Fast forward to now and I am fast approaching being sub 100kg, waist of 36 and blood pressure of 117/75. My heart resting heart rate has dropped from 80 to 58 and from not being able to run the length of a 5 a side pitch, I recently started playing in the 11 a side team. But the best bit about MvF is the other players, everyone is so supportive, non judgemental. I would recommend this to anyone and everyone, it has simply changed my life !!

Man v Fat gives hope to many people that may have believed they weren’t going to be able to play football again. Skill level genuinely does not matter. Turning up, forming bonds with team mates, going through a journey together and working towards goals matters. I have had ups and downs with man v fat but i have also had some of the greatest experiences of my life with them. Playing in national tournaments at Manchester City and St. George's park being 2 and to be fair the organisation that goes into these tournaments must take some serious graft. Yes there is a risk of injury, but there would be if you had a kick about down the park. Man v fat is a community of like minded individuals that want to do something about their weight, diet and keeping fit, if you enjoy football and want to lose a bit of weight then listen to that little voice at the back of your head and join up.

Week 4 & great progress hitting 5% the support from both my coach Andy & the blues team is unbelievable

I joined in September 2022 and we're now in June 2023.I've lost over 3 stone and I wouldn't have done it without Man v Fat!Even as I approach my maintenance" weight I will keep playing as it isn't just about the weight loss

With years of trying to lose weight, and nothing working, finally I found ManVfat. It's changed my life and given a focus to health, both mental and physical, the boys at Bristol North are amazing and consider many of them friends.Continually growing and changing, so will be a lifestyle change not just a season.I can't recommend the program enough!

Man v Fat is one of those things that your finger hovers over before you decide not to do it. I'm too overweight, I'll never keep up, I haven't played in years.I took the plunge when a friend of mine invited me to a 'bring a friend' week (he had 7st in a year). You weigh in before the match every week and you are set bonus related goals around exercise and what you eat. So if you lose on the pitch, you can still win overall if you meet your weight loss challenges.I've been playing for 5 weeks and the weight is coming off and my fitness levels are up. Not bad for a 51 year old. Sure there are plenty of younger people but each of them has their own personal challenges in regaining fitness.You are also invited into supportive WhatsApp groups where a bit of team ribbing will take place but all teams are incredibly supportive of every single individual. Big burly guys swap recipes and calorie count too!!!There are plenty of extra game options meaning you not only have personal targets but you compete locally and nationally on your achievements. So how am I doing compared to the gym? Well it's Week 5 and I have lost 5% of my body weight already or 6kg.Man v Fat has been great for my physical and mental health and given me the chance to meet some great people too. Come on the Mighty Purples!
