A 24-year-old man has lost 6st in 10 months after joining a football club. Charlie Hill discovered the MAN v FAT Football (MvF) programme through a 'fellow fat friend'.
It is aimed at men with a BMI of higher than 27.5, and combines weekly sessions with coaching off-pitch. Before joining, Charlie found it difficult to do every day tasks and had aches and pains in his body due to the weight.
Charlie, who has gone from 22st to 15st, said: "It's changed my entire life. I didn't really have friends round here before and now I'm part of a big community. The support is amazing.
