The government's announcement on Thursday looks to be exciting news for MAN v FAT's return to action.
We're as keen to get back to playing as you are, so please bear with us and we'll have an update in the coming days on what a return might look like for our leagues.

🤩 Well done guys!
We're celebrating 100,000 lbs lost by players on the MAN v FAT Football leagues. To celebrate we're giving everyone a free book and we're telling 100 player stories from across the leagues -
What a great day of news coverage for MAN v FAT yesterday, with articles about Vlad's remarkable progress with us featuring on Yahoo News, The Mirror, The Independent, MSN News and AOL News.
Vlad lost over 50% of his body weight with us 👏 An absolutely brilliant effort!
Blokes - if you're worried about your mate, it's always OK to ask him if he's all right. Drop him a text, give him a call, ask him to his face. Sounds daft, but part of the solution to the male mental health crisis is more of us asking more of us: you all right mate?

In the U.K., there's a soccer league where the biggest losers are actually the winners. "MAN v FAT" helps men lose weight by playing soccer once a week.
@KellyCobiella
has the story.
"Don't waste your life on those small moments of enjoyment you get from eating bad food" - powerful advice from this week's Amazing Loser Andy 👏
Check out how he lost 49kg (108lbs!) -
The success of MAN v FAT comes from how each team pulls their teammates through each week for a collective weight loss.
Amidst some tough competition, our winners are The Slimsons from our Chelmsford league!
Thanks to

When Anthony struggled to walk he decided that he had had enough of being big and that he needed to make a change. In January he joined MAN v FAT and has lost a mind blowing 8 stone in 10 months! Absolutely incredible! 😱👏👏

Footballer Kieran Amos lost a whopping 7 STONE in lockdown - and topped it all off by casually scoring a hat-trick in his team's first league game.
We talked to him about weight loss, setting goals and his incredible drive to get back on the pitch...
We are sooooo sick of reading comments along these lines.
Eat less
Move more
Is the "secret" to losing weight. BUT the missing first step is the vital:
Get your head right
Does this annoy anyone else?

up to MAN v FAT Football in Salford last night. A genuine man who is clearly passionate about Greater Manchester and getting people active. Nice to see someone who walks the walk, rather than just talks the talk. I know that cos I saw him walking.
Just a few awards to go, and now it’s League of the Year, in partnership with Colchester Trophies!
Our winners, Northampton, epitomise all that’s good about MAN v FAT and also overcame tragedy in 2020 to rally around each other and become even stronger.
