⚽ Personal Milestone: 33% Body Weight Lost!

Over the last 15 months, I’ve lost more than 70kg — that’s a third of my body weight gone. It hasn’t been a straight path. Holidays, stress, and life crept in and old habits tried to pull me back. But I kept showing up. Kept moving forward.

At 44 years old, I’m now fitter, healthier, and happier than I’ve ever been. I’m becoming the version of myself I always wanted to be.

The truth? I was slowly killing myself — ignoring warning signs from my body and advice from doctors. I made every excuse not to care about myself.

If you’re still reading this, thank you.
Now please hear this:

👉 The hardest part of any journey is taking the first step.

But here’s why it worked for me: I didn’t do it alone.
I’m proud of the club we’ve built. It’s more than fitness. It’s a safe space — it doesn’t matter your size, age, or ability. You’ll be welcomed. You’ll laugh. You’ll learn. And with the help of Dan, our personal trainer, we all work toward our goals, together.

There’s real heart here. A sense of togetherness that makes you want to come back each week. It’s not just about weight loss — it’s about community, support, and finding joy in the journey.

It’s an escape from the stresses of life. It’s mates asking how you are. Taking the mick out of your new haircut or flashy boots. Someone to play golf with or grab a coffee during the week.

So if you’re thinking about making a change, come try a taster session.
Meet the lads. Have a kickabout.

And if you’re part of MAN v FAT Clacton, past or present — please share your experience. Your honest review could inspire someone to take that first step.

We’re looking for a few more players. Maybe that’s you.

Season 4 Wrapped, Season 5 Begins!

We closed out Season 4 in style, with the Blues pulling off a clean sweep — a massive congratulations to them for their consistent performances both on and off the pitch!

Now, Season 5 is underway and off to a strong start.

We kicked things off by coming together as a group to talk about the future of Clacton MAN v FAT — how we want it to grow and evolve. It was great to see 18 of us turning up, showing the strength and commitment of the group.

On the pitch, we had a competitive, end-to-end game featuring some fantastic two-touch football. But it’s off the pitch where our club really shines — 14 players lighter this week ,than last week, showing that we’re making progress together.

Our community is thriving. You can feel it in the way people talk to each other — fitter, stronger, more confident. There are laughs, inside jokes, quiet check-ins, and real conversations about family, life, and everything in between.

We all have lives beyond Friday nights, but knowing you’ve got this group to come back to each week gives you something to look forward to — something to help keep you on track.

If you’re reading this and you’re a past player, someone who’s feeling a bit lost, or just in need of a positive, healthy outlet — reach out. Come down, meet the lads, and see what we’re all about.

Season 5 is just getting started, and we’re always looking for new players.

MAN v FAT Clacton – Season 4 Update

Season 4 is in full swing at MAN v FAT Clacton! With the nicer weather rolling in, there’s a real feel-good factor around the pitch — great atmosphere .

We had 27 players on the scales tonight, and 20 of them lost weight — incredible effort all round!

Game One:
An action-packed match! After a fiercely contested first half ending level, Man Tittys came out flying in the second half, finishing strong with a 9–1 win.
Big shout out to Liam, who smashed in five goals — check out the highlights to see his top effort!

Game Two:
A real battle from start to finish. Both teams went at it, with some excellent goalkeeping and rock-solid defending. A tight game decided by a controversial goal-line call, giving Greens a narrow 1–0 victory.

Season 4 kicked off just as we meant to go on, with two fiercely competitive matches.

The first fixture saw Whites take on Reds in a thrilling end-to-end contest packed with goals. Reds came out on top with a 6-4 victory—big shoutout to Bondy for bagging a hat-trick!

The second match was a hard-fought battle in midfield, featuring some brilliant last-minute interceptions and top-class goalkeeping. The game ended in a well-earned 1-1 draw. Special mention to Mike “The Tabby Cat” G for a stunning diving save to tip one around the post!

Off the field, 10 players dropped weight, and we celebrated the achievements of Season 3.

Blues, you were a force to be reckoned with! Your consistency and attendance set the standard for everyone, as you claimed both the league title and the cup.

A huge well done to our top scorer, Paul C, and congratulations to Sam for being named Club Man of the Year!
