Jordan, 33, changed his entire life in just 12 months with the help of weight loss programme MAN V FAT. The slimmer spoke to Express.co.uk about his incredible journey and what it has meant to him.<\/p>\n

Jordan’s weight loss transformation may be impressive but it certainly was not easy.<\/p>\n

He initially participated in MAN V FAT, a football programme for men with a BMI of 27.5 and over, back in 2017.<\/p>\n

By taking part in the programme, going for regular walks and dropping his calories to 1,400 a day, Jordan went from 23.5st to 16.3st.<\/p>\n

However, he soon piled the weight back on and more, reaching a dangerous 27.2st after putting on a further 10st.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

He told Express.co.uk that he fell off the weight loss wagon when he started struggling majorly with his mental health.<\/p>\n

He admitted: “I was in the darkest of places. I didn’t go to the gym, I didn’t go to football, I never socialised, I hated people looking at me.”<\/p>\n

Letting go of healthy eating habits, he used takeaways and “crap food” to “comfort” himself through challenging times.<\/p>\n

But Jordan realised he had to make a change when it started to affect his relationship with his children.<\/p>\n

His son would ask him to run around the park with him or play “Nerf Wars” and Jordan “physically couldn’t do it”.<\/p>\n

Heartbroken for his three kids, he knew he had to make a change and fast: “I thought I was going to die. I thought, ‘My life’s done, I can’t do anything, if I don’t change my life now it’s over’.”<\/p>\n

Jordan was on the waiting list for weight loss surgery when he rediscovered MAN V FAT on Facebook and he hasn’t looked back since, losing an astonishing 10 stone in just one year.<\/p>\n

He told Express.co.uk: “It changed my life, without it I don’t know where I’d be.”
The programme gives slimmers loads of opportunities to lose weight and “score goals” for their team.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Players can score physical goals during games, but they can also score goals off the pitch by losing weight each week, tracking their calories and losing certain percentages of body fat.<\/p>\n

Jordan and his team are currently second in the league with their stellar football skills and impressive weight loss achievements.<\/p>\n

Being part of a team has been a huge incentive for Jordan as everyone is there to hold each other accountable – “if you don’t lose weight you’re not just letting yourself down but your team down”.<\/p>\n

Not only this, while Jordan used to avoid people due to embarrassment over his size, he is now more social than ever. “Man V Fat is like a family – if someone’s struggling everyone sends a message to make sure they’re okay, friends for life 100 percent.”<\/p>\n

Jordan has transformed his lifestyle entirely and is now achieving things he never thought possible. He has climbed Mount Snowdon three times already – with plans to undertake the challenge again – and has smashed games of football at both Britannia and Sixfields Stadium. He can certainly play “Nerf Wars” with his son now.<\/p>\n

Jordan works out three times per week and enjoys a nutritious, high-protein diet including meals such as overnight oats, protein wraps and chicken, rice and vegetables. He allows himself the odd treat of pizza or a kebab when he hits his weight loss goals however, saying “I deserve it”.<\/p>\n

The slimming star offered some advice to others embarking on their own weight loss journey: “Make sure you talk to someone, and set small achievable goals.”<\/p>\n

MAN V FAT is a programme which encourages weight loss through football, designed for men with a BMI of 27.5 and over.<\/p>\n
