1–3 · Coping, but keeping an eye on it
MAN v FAT Football
Six-a-side football leagues for men with a BMI over 27.5, where your weight loss counts towards the score.
- Who it's for
- Men 18+ who want to lose weight.
- Cost
- Paid — a weekly or seasonal fee, varies by club.
- Hours
- Weekly, usually weekday evenings.
What actually happens
- You get weighed in privately before kick-off.
- You play a 30-minute match.
- Goals scored on the pitch and pounds lost off it both add to the league table.
- The changing-room chat is a large part of why men stay.
