It’s a cold evening, I’m preparing to step on the scales and get weighed in before playing football. That’s because, just over a year ago, and feeling depleted trying to shed the lockdown weight, I joined ManvFat.
The programme, aimed at getting men more active, sees players weighing in before playing a 28-minute football match. Afterwards, you’re awarded goals for weight loss as well as the scores on the pitch.
It might seem a little hard to grasp at first, and I, like many other players who joined, hadn’t kicked a ball for as long as I could remember. But that doesn’t matter.
