Colleagues at One You East Sussex have set up a football league, to help men get fit and lose weight. They have two established leagues running in Eastbourne and Bexhill with a third due to start in Falmer. MAN v FAT is a weight-loss football league. A national initiative, the 16-week, 6 a side league helps men with a BMI of 27.5+ to lose weight, get fit and make friends.
Players are weighed each week before the match, and if two team members have lost weight they ‘earn’ a goal before they’ve even set foot on the pitch. Over 180 men have joined up so far and results have been remarkable.
