Man loses 7 stone through football community support

Mike Palmer from Nuneaton lost 7 stone in a year, dropping from 24 stone in February 2024 to 17 stone. His weight loss journey began after witnessing his father's health struggles due to obesity. Palmer joined the MAN v FAT Football club, which supports overweight men in losing weight through football and community. His success has also inspired his father to lose 15 kg, making surgery a possibility for him. In 2025, MAN v FAT will launch 10 new rugby-based clubs across the UK, expanding its support for overweight men. The clubs will focus on sustainable weight loss through sports and health sessions.
