MAN v FAT Soccer has only been up and running in New Jersey for a few months, but men in the state are already achieving amazing things on the scales.
They’ve already lost nearly 1,500lbs in that time and one member who is really thriving as part of the community is Malcolm Whitley.
Malcolm recently hit his 20% weight loss with MAN v FAT Soccer and is starting to support the other men in the league as he becomes Assistant Coach alongside his playing duties.
He told us: “I am married with three children, work as an operations manager for a sign company, and coach for the Special Olympics in my spare time. My wife signed me up after seeing me struggle to make progress with my weight loss.
“The team mentality and the camaraderie across the entire league have been key to my success. It is a completely judgment-free environment. Even when team members gain weight, everyone is incredibly supportive.
“I now want to get down to a healthy weight, and then maintaining it, extending my life with better choices for exercise and food choices.”
The New Jersey leagues continue to welcome new men each week and that community will grow still further in September with the launch of the Meadowlands location.
If you’re thinking of getting started, Malcolm advised: “Absolutely go for it. Everyone is there to support one another, and the soccer game on the field is secondary to the weight loss journey.”
