A man who loved to gorge on roast dinners and would eat at least two a week has lost a whopping six stone - by joining a special football team. Brandan Woodhouse, 25, tipped the scales at more than 19st and decided he wanted to be healthy by the time he hit 30, so he took action.
He joined a Man V Fat football team, where the squad is awarded extra goals based on the amount of weight each member has lost - and soon the pounds started falling off. In no time, Brandan, a civil servant from Melksham, Wiltshire, was down to a svelte 13 stone - and he said it only took him six months to lose the weight, not the five years he had thought.
