They may have only got started earlier in 2024, but the lads in MAN v FAT Wimbledon have got off to a great start in building a vibrant community.Numbers are such that they’re hopeful of an expansion in numbers in early 2025 and, under the tutelage of MAN v FAT stalwart Dredd Humphries, the future looks bright in south London.One guy who is enjoying his time in the Wimbledon club is Mike Collins, who has already hit his 10% at the club.Mike told us: “I’m an ex-semi pro football player and spent my early years fully focused on sports. Weight was never a problem, until the last few years where my weight had ballooned. MAN v FAT was recommended to me by a friend called Jamie Hewitt, who plays in MAN v FAT Margate.“It was him that inspired me as I saw his progress whilst sitting on a beach in Croatia. I saw the Wimbledon version was due to start out and I took the plunge! To date, I’ve hit the 15kg mark already and I feel there is a lot lore to go.”With January just around the corner and plenty of guys considering getting started in one of our 150+ clubs, there will be many wondering why the programme works for men of all ages, when it comes to weight loss and wellbeing improvements.Mike explained: “It’s the pressure of the competition and the shared goals of everybody there. I’m currently number one biggest loser within the Wimbledon club and as captain of my team I strive to hit the highest goals. “For me this is the biggest and best thing I’ve tried for weight loss. The constant pushing of each other and the friendships that already I have gained is invaluable. “I had some health issues earlier this year. Doctors haven’t heard of this incredible club – they should! It’s changing thousands of people’s lives weekly and as a nation there is 1000s of kgs dropping every week. That’s without even discussing the positive mental health aspect of all of this. I’d really recommend it!”To sign up for the Wimbledon club, visit https://manvfatfootball.org/wimbledon.
