The project gives the participants a start, but then they have to go their own way: no one will endlessly lead them by the handle. And, of course, I am most interested in what happens to these characters afterwards. When I was offered to become a reality TV host, I made inquiries: "Do you have those who kept the weight?" They answered that yes, all project participants are holding the weight! And I decided that they were doing the right thing, we also need to get involved in it ”.

Ksenia Bugrimova, head of the entertainment department of the STS channel: “This is more than a new season, this is a global restart of a popular show. We have not only strengthened the project by adding scale, entertainment and poignancy, but also shifted the semantic accents and reflected this in the title. Our show is not about how people lose pounds, and not only for those who dream of losing weight. It is about the pursuit of happiness, on the way to which you need to overcome yourself and leave behind all unnecessary. "

One of them will be Sergey Parkhomenko(also known as rapper Serega), who, in parallel with his music career, is building a successful fitness career, coaching businessmen according to the author's method.
Sergey Parkhomenko, project coach: “It's no wonder that I was invited to the project, it’s surprising why they didn’t do it earlier. Honestly, I wanted to break into each season in order to do everything differently: differently to train not only the participants, but also the coaches themselves. In general, “coach” is too simple and banal word. I want to be a guide for my team. "
Parkhomenko adds that his training system “is built on love for people ", And calls his charges" my younger comrades. " “The rest of the coaches in my background are just losers who knowingly lost. They are adherents of orthodox fitness trends and do not demonstrate anything new. And what I do is pure creativity, flight ... ”- says Sergei.
Natalya Lugovskikh, a fitness trainer, nutritionist, European and Russian champion in the fitness bikini category, is in charge of training the second team. In July 2017, Natalya topped the Elite World Ranking, which includes the 100 strongest female bikinists from around the world. According to her, “each viewer can watch different options for physical activity for overweight people and choose the one that suits them. And the methodology that I thought out for the participants is already yielding incredible results. "
“Before, I worked with motivated people, those who are in the subject, who do not need to be persuaded or tuned in,” Natalya admits. - In the show, everything will be the other way around: I have to train participants who have always been outside the sport. And first you need to explain that now their life will be completely different. "
The third star coach of the participants, whose name was kept secret for a long time, was the actor ("Moms", "Nowhere to hurry" and "Gogol. Beginning"), world champion in armlifting and martial arts master Sergei Badyuk. Badyuk is the president of the Armlifting Professional League and the founder of the International Multirepeat Benchpress Federation, he is a master of sports in several disciplines: taekwondo, armlifting, kettlebell lifting, hand-to-hand combat and bench press. He also went in for boxing, judo, mixfight, and continues to practice karate.
“To be honest, I myself went through the same thing: I gained weight over 150 kilograms with a ponytail. I remember all this hell, how hard it was to drop such a load. Then I decided to spontaneously participate in my first bodybuilding competition and did everything to enter the right weight category. In four months I have lost 30 kilograms, so I have a very good idea of what awaits the project participants. "
Sergey admitted that he is not going to feel sorry for the heroes, and knows how to motivate them for a result.
“Who needs a soft coach? Unless for cats, and then, I think, Kuklachev will not agree with me. Still, a coach must be a coach: objective, tough, demanding. Moreover, I have my own personal experience, a certain system, thanks to which people dropped 50 kilograms or more. "

This is the fourth time on the STS TV channel this amazing show about people who, in the literal sense of the word, have something to lose, and they do it selflessly and with lust. The manufacturer of the program is the White Media company.
This time "Weighted People" will be hosted by the owner of an outstanding bust and classic pseudonym Anfisa Chekhova. And here's what she says about the issues of the show:
“In the process of losing weight, the main thing is to radically change all your habits, which in fact means the beginning of a completely new life. The project only helps the participants to start in the right direction, and then they will have to follow this thorny path on their own, because no one will lead them by the handle. For me personally, the most interesting thing is what happens to the participants after the program. And when the offer to host this amazing show came, the first mogu question was if there were those among the former participants who managed to keep the weight in the future. And I received the answer that everyone who participated was holding it easily! I realized that the matter is in good hands and the team is doing it right, which means I need to join him. "
The selection for the Weighted People program began in July last year. To participate in the casting, it was enough to send an application and attach a detailed form and a short video to it, sending all this to the email address indicated on the website.
Citizens aged 18 - 42 were admitted to the selection, and their weight should be at least 110 for the weaker sex and ten kilograms more for the strong.
Conditions:
Eighteen fat men are divided into two equal teams, to each of which one coach is attached. Under the guidance of implacable instructors, the weighted are subjected to harsh, if not brutal, tests. However, everything happens according to the latest and most advanced techniques and using the most modern technologies, including:
- the most advanced simulators;
- yoga classes;
- dance aerobics.
The new season was named "Weighted and Happy People", by the way, just like its Ukrainian analogue of this season.
So updates took place in all directions:
- change of coaching staff;
- moving the location to Sochi;
- presenter - Anfisa Chekhova.
Describing his methodology, he says that it is built on a great love for clients, but he calls them only as his younger comrades. He is sure that against his background, the rest of the coaches look like real losers, and does not give them any chances against himself and his team. He explains this by the fact that everyone except him uses orthodox methods, and he has a real creative flight. And it is completely unclear why he had not been invited to this show before. In his opinion, this is a big flaw of the team of creators ...
The second team is coached by Natalia Lugovskikh. She is the champion of Russia and Europe in the category "fitness bikini", and besides, she is a certified nutritionist. Now she is at the top of the famous Elin World Ranking of bikinists, which contains one hundred of the best bikinists in the world.
She, too, is quite confident in her powers and the miraculousness of her author's technique.
So, the viewers of the 4th season of the show "Weighted People" are waiting for uncompromising fights not only of the participants, but of their coaches, and therefore of the intellect and creative ideas.
But that's not all. Now it became known the third star coach, whose name was kept secret for a long time. It was Sergey Bardyuk, a martial arts master, who is also a world champion in armlifting. In addition to many achievements in sports, he also actively acts in films, for example, in such series as Interns or Flint.
What woman does not dream of an ideal figure and admiring looks from men? Finalist Vesta Romanova managed to lose 50 kilograms and find happiness in her personal life. But what is interesting: even before participating in the project, she was not deprived of the attention of the stronger sex. the site talked to Vesta and found out why she at one time weighed almost 130 kilograms, why all women need to photograph themselves naked in the mirror and is it possible to lose weight at the snap of their fingers.
Yesterday, this smiling, stylish girl with an unusual name could not tie the laces on her sneakers without feeling dizzy, did not want to leave the house unnecessarily and lived according to the principle of "food-work-food-home-food". Today, only memories remain from that sad life.
Last year, 29-year-old Vesta Romanova took part in (the second season of which has already started on STS) and reached the very finals, losing a cash prize of 3 million rubles to 30-year-old Peter Vasiliev. However, the girl, in spite of everything, considers herself a winner. Today Vesta looks great and successfully combines work and family.
Having been in the hands of professionals, the ex-"weighted" now willingly shares the acquired knowledge with those who need it. Romanova develops nutrition programs, helps to find the right motivation and just charges fans with a good mood. Although the project made a star out of the blonde, she still remains a simple, modest person who has no secrets from anyone. And if we are to share our story, then without embellishment and cuts. In an exclusive interview, the site Vesta Romanova told how wonderful life was "light".
... Why did you gain so much?
As my psychologist says, it all happened because of my personal life. And not because of her absence, but on the contrary: I tried to protect myself from relationships, which, as a rule, did not end well.
“I ate and gained weight in order to completely isolate myself from communication with men, not to attract their attention. Which, by the way, I didn’t succeed ”.
Even when I weighed 123 kilograms, I was in great demand among the stronger sex. And the further, the worse.
V.R .: When I was in school, we did not have the concept of "fat" at all. My classmates and I were very active: we did not sit at computers or TVs, but, on the contrary, spent all our time on the street. I was an ordinary girl in body, but not a fat woman. I went in for sports a lot, so I didn't get fat. The problems began when I broke up with a young man after seven years of relationship.
I felt great, weighing 110 kilograms. Only at the moment when the scales showed the number 120 did she begin to experience discomfort. It was hard for me to walk, turn, bend over. The worst thing is that I was lazy and I didn't want to do anything at all. Probably, the brain also floats with fat.
“I came to work and just sat there all day. I was constantly eating and hanging out on the Internet. Then she returned home, ate again and went to bed. The state of an amoeba ... Or a frog that sits in its swamp, croaks, and she doesn't need anything else in this life. "
website: When did you decide that it was time to change?
V.R .: Once it became completely unbearable. I bent down to tie the laces on my boots, and my pressure suddenly rose. My face was full of blood, my head was spinning, I could not get up ... Then I realized that I needed to pull myself together and do something.
V.R .: Yes, just a couple of days later, I stumbled upon an advertisement for a casting in a new reality show about weight loss. I sent my questionnaire and forgot about it, because I was sure that only their own people would be hired for such projects. Surprisingly, I was invited to come to the casting, where I talked to a psychologist. After that, there was silence, which lasted more than a month. Just before the very start of the filming process, I was informed that I was in the project.
website: All this time, before filming, did you try to lose weight on your own?
V.R .:"Oh yeah (laughs)... From time to time, like any normal woman, the desire to lose weight came over me. And I immediately followed the "miracle pills", mistakenly believing that it would help me lose weight, and quickly. "
Probably, I tried all possible diets and pills on myself. Now I understand that there are no miracles. Sadly, you always get rid of extra pounds very slowly. It is a pity that many do not believe and continue to stubbornly search for quick ways to part with the hated fat.
website: What was and is now the main motivation for you to keep fit?
V.R .: Mirror! In general, as it turned out, many overweight people do not look at themselves in the mirror, they are afraid to take pictures and upload their pictures to social networks. You know, such a good principle of protection: "I don't see, so this is not."
“That is why a sober look at yourself from the outside can help you lose weight, and even better - a photo of yourself naked in the mirror. After all, any woman strives to be beautiful. "
website: Are you upset that you did not win the final of the show and that 3 million rubles went to someone else?
V.R .: And I won! Defeated herself. Money cannot measure my achievement. On the project, I was able to lose 40 kilograms, after the end of the show another 12. The main thing is that I managed to overcome myself, give up bad habits and tune in to a new life. And money ... You can always earn it - there would be a desire.
website: What is your current weight and do you plan to continue to lose weight?
V.R .: At the moment I weigh 70 kilograms, and this is my ideal weight, I feel very comfortable in it. Soon I plan to do a light drying, so that the body will finally acquire a relief. After all, it used to be quite problematic.
Now I also began to observe the sleep regimen: I go to bed and wake up at the same time. By the way, I also eat by the hour. In general, I have become more disciplined, I am not late for meetings, as it was before. I also gave up alcohol completely.

The main rules of effective weight loss show Weighted people
Before you understand which program will be effective for a person:
- You need to understand what your body weight should ideally be (how many kg you need to lose weight and how long it takes);
- Daily calculation of the daily rate of kilocalories;
- Selection of an individual meal plan;
- Drawing up a training program.
A well-formulated diet is a matter of balance. You need to understand what the body receives in excess and what it lacks. In order to get rid of extra pounds, you need to take care of your health first. You should not get hung up on rigid diets that lead to depletion of the body.
There are only eight correctly effective weight loss:
- You need to eat in small portions 5-6 times a day;
- Have a hearty breakfast in the morning Also, have a good lunch, dinner should be light and do not forget to snack between the three main meals;
- High carbohydrate food consume before four in the afternoon;
- If you are drawn to sweet then you can eat fruit;
- Keep track of the amount of salt that you consume with food. A large amount of sodium retains fluid in the body, which forms edema;
- Eliminate sugary sodas from your diet... Soda is very harmful to the body. It contains a lot of sugar and dyes, which is bad for health;
- Eat Separately, combine food correctly;
- Give up alcohol or limit yourself to it. Alcoholic beverages contain more than the average person's daily calorie intake.
All nutritionists are reduced to a common opinion: food should be varied. Today, there are dozens of diets that involve a monotonous, low-calorie diet. For example, a drinking diet, kefir or ABC contains a very low calorie content (less than 800) and contributes to the formation of protein-free dystrophy.
Such a nutritional system can only lead to depletion of the body, deterioration of the digestive system and a slowdown in metabolism.
So what should nutritionists and fitness trainers think about nutrition?
The daily diet should include:
- 5-10% fat;
- 40% carbohydrates;
- 50-56% protein;
- Fiber (vegetables, herbs, fruits);
- 1.5 to 2.5 liters of water (depending on how active you are).
Nutrition plays an important role in bodybuilding, but do not forget about the physical activity itself. At least three times a week for 40-60 minutes, you need to give your body aerobic activity, and after you get rid of a certain amount of kilograms, you need to start anaerobic to gain muscle mass.

Kukharenko Andrey:
What is problem weight? First of all, it is a problem that requires an urgent solution. But the incentive to change your body should not be in the usual way imposed by society. A person should think not only about the beauty of his body, but also about his health. He must realize this himself and want to.
If an active lifestyle and proper nutrition do not bring you pleasure, then why change something? This will not work. If you want to change your body for the better, then you must want to do it yourself, you must want to change your life.
Irina Leonova:
I believe that being overweight is directly related to psychological problems. Most people do not solve their problems, but "seize" them. Relationship problems are traumatic aspects. And this is not only the relationship between boys and girls, but also between children, parents and society.
Turchinskaya Irina:
In order for you to see the result of training, keep a diary where you will record all your results. In addition to athletic performance, write in it about your dreams and your main goal. Describe your diet, exercise plan, and how you will achieve your goal.
You train under your full responsibility and understand that your body and your health are solely in your hands. And never blame your failures on other external circumstances.
Semenikhin Denis:
A person begins to change when he gets tired. He gets tired of his usual boring life, wanting to change something. Each of us wants to be in a comfort zone, when a person does not want to face difficulties, he says to himself: "Don't touch me, I'm fine."
Leaving your comfort zone, realizing that it is time to act, you need to remember one more thing: you are doing all this for yourself. Not because you respect your fitness trainer or want to please your soul mate, but only for yourself!
Elena Leonova:
All problems come from childhood. If a child from an early age was not taught by his parents to cope with stressful situations, to rely only on himself and to accept the challenges of the outside world, then in the future he runs the risk of earning food addiction. The size of the portion that is on the child's plate plays a big role.
If you overfeed him, give him a lot of sweets and force him to eat through force, then as an adult, his physiological characteristics will be disrupted.

2.5 million rubles were received by Timur Bikbulatov, as the person who lost the most weight. In 16 weeks of the project, he lost 54 kg. Participation in a weight loss show radically changed Timur not only externally, but also internally. About the show, relations with the participants and how he managed to overcome the "fat man's psychology", he told in an interview with "AiF-Kazan".
Nonrandom accidents
Daria Khodik, AiF-Kazan: Timur, how did you get into this project?
Timur Bikbulatov: Once I was visiting my best friend Artyom Filippov, and the first season of "Weighted People" was on TV. And Artem drew attention to the program, said that it would be nice for me to get to this show. I say, it's not bad, of course, but after all, casting, how many thousands of people dream of getting into and it's generally unclear whether there will be a second season. Several months pass, a normal working day, and suddenly Artem calls: “You have several hours to come to such and such an address. But he doesn't say why. “Man, I'm at work,” I tell him. “Have I let you down or deceived you at least once in my life? If I were you, I would go. " The intrigue was great. I arrived ... at the Kazan office of STS. I managed literally at the last moment. We filled out a questionnaire, we were photographed and sent the data to Moscow. A few days later I received an e-mail with a request to come to the second stage of the casting in the capital. The psychologists of the project talked to us here. Then they called me and said that I had passed the second stage, after which it remained to undergo a medical examination, to be tested. And on the 24th of August was the first day of shooting in Gorky Park.
The Weighted People show is a Russian analogue of the world famous reality project The Biggest Loser. 18 participants from all over Russia, suffering from excess weight, get a chance not only to radically change their lives, getting rid of annoying kilograms, but also to compete for 3 million rubles. Under the guidance of trainers and nutritionists, participants go through physical tests, diets and competitions. The host of the project is Yulia Kovalchuk, coaches are Denis Seminikhin and Irina Turchinskaya.
- Wasn't it embarrassing that the whole country would see you?

No, I decided that accidents in our life are not accidental. So I came to the casting: in front of me is the door. You can not open it and come to terms with your condition, or use this chance. Of course, the desire to change myself outweighed. Moreover, at that time I was in a state of yet another attempt to lose weight. At the start of the project, I weighed 148 kg, and back in May (2015) I weighed 164 kg. My son influenced me. Once he dropped the phrase: "You cannot lose weight." These words really hooked me. I decided to prove that I can.
- Have you always suffered from obesity?
Since childhood. In the company, one was fat. As a 14-15-year-old teenager, I was engaged in freestyle wrestling and even then I was competing in the weight category over 83 kilograms (now, by the way, I weigh 84). Of course, there were attempts to lose weight, which did not lead to anything. Weight left and returned with a margin. As a result, I stopped trying to lose weight on my own. From the age of 27 I have been counting down life, although, it would seem, it should have been the other way around. I got tired of everything, some actions, movements. Knees, back began to hurt, sports injuries began to worsen. There were problems in communicating with the opposite sex.
Burned the bridges
- How did the family react to the fact that you will drop out of life for several months?
When I realized that I would get into the project, I gave up work (I was engaged in construction), dismissed all the workers so that there would be nothing left that connected me with my past life. I had to sacrifice a lot, but I do not regret anything. After the project, many people from a past life stopped communicating with me and, on the contrary, many new friends appeared. As the project psychologist told us, many people communicate with fat people and even make friends out of themselves in order to assert themselves on a subconscious level at their expense. And as soon as a person changes, comes into shape, they break off relations.

- With whom on the project did you have the warmest relations?
I treated all the participants well. It takes a lot of effort to undress and show your "ugliness" to the whole of Russia, realizing that you will be cited as a bad example. This also needs to be crossed. They are all great, they are strong people. I treated everyone well, but the warmest relations I had with Sasha Podolenyuk from Chelyabinsk, with Yan (Samokhvalov) at first, and at the end of the project, Alena Zaretskaya greatly surprised me. This is the only person who really supported me. When I returned, I was greeted negatively, and Alena said: "You did not deserve this." And this explains my act when, at the pre-final weigh-in, I gave her the kilogram I earned in the competition (more precisely, minus the kilogram. - Author's note).

The tipping point came when the team voted against you, the blue team captain. The audience did not understand why this happened.
There were several moments when I contrasted my opinion with the opinion of the team. When I became the captain, I had to think not only about myself, I had a goal: I wanted to bring the main team of the blue team to an individual fight. For example, I tried to study even before the arrival of the film crew. I wanted to show an example not with words, but with actions. But, apparently, not everyone understood this.
- How did you build your life after you left the project and until your return?
I dropped out of the filming process, but not from the project itself. I had the opportunity to compete for the second prize (500 thousand rubles). Several times a week I talked with the coach Denis Semenikhin, they selected various training programs for me. Plus I experimented with different loads myself. I read various literature, listened to coaches, talked to sports doctors. I have selected for myself a program adapted to my everyday life, which will allow me to exercise in such a way that I lose not muscle mass, but fat mass. I didn't know I would be back. Sport leads not only to an improvement in physical activity, but also to an improvement in the blood supply to brain cells, an improvement in the state of the psyche. He helps me to become strong in every way.

- How did you react to the news that you are returning to the project and were you disappointed with the reaction of the team?
It was a pleasant shock. They asked me: "Well, have you already managed to sort your suitcases?" I assumed that I would not be welcome. Although I did not expect such a reaction from everyone who remained there. Well, that gave me strength.
The team negatively perceived your return also because you spent time at home, and they had not seen their families for a long time ...
It's more difficult at home, you need to artificially create conditions for yourself. Temptations are everywhere - you need to buy cottage cheese, and for this you need to walk past the department with baked goods that smells. And after the show, all receptors, sense of smell, scent sharpened. Each time I had to control myself, passing by the same "McDonald's". On the project, we were physically deprived of such an opportunity. I don't think it was easier for me.
- What moments do you remember the most?
Loads and moments associated with food, especially in the first two weeks. I couldn't adapt in any way. What was my diet at home? Bread, meat, pasta. There were no vegetables, he did not recognize greens, he did not consider zucchini and eggplants as food. And then I came to all this "straw" and it turned out that without it it will not work. There has been a shift in the concept of "normal" food.
I remember a competition related to a buggy (the participant had to pull a car weighing more than half a ton). It was horror, Jan with a weight of 170 kilograms was still sitting in the buggy. I remember that at 4-5 weeks I really wanted to talk to my family, to see her.
Do not be shy!
- You received 2.5 million rubles for winning the competition, what will you spend it on?
I am going to purchase exercise equipment for myself. Now I am engaged in the open air with the group, forcing them to struggle with their complexes. I am preparing a joint program with a fitness center, we want to launch group classes for obese people. I want to connect my life with this, to promote sports, healthy lifestyle, proper nutrition. 80% of fat people stay at home and do not want to go to the gym. But do not be ashamed of mistakes, awkward movements. You need to be ashamed of your inaction.
- How has your life changed after the show? Social media attacks?
They attack. Many people ask me: describe your diet, how much you ate and how you exercised. Let me tell you right away: this mode is not suitable for everyday life. At the end of the project, we ate 600-800 calories a day, whereas in ordinary life, breakfast should be 600 calories. But we still need to perform other functions and all this requires energy. The body needs to be taught to convert fat into energy. And the body needs to be taught to part with fat for a long time. After an emergency weight loss, the problem of weight retention arises. After all, the body is used to the bad, and it strives back to its old weight in giant leaps. The smoother we come to the result, the more likely the body will be able to adapt.

- After such weight loss, stretch marks and excess skin may appear. How to solve this aesthetic problem?
Well, I'm not a girl to pay attention to. There are many different remedies, including plastic surgery. Of course, there is an aesthetic problem, but it is insignificant in comparison with what I am experiencing and how I live now.
- After the victory, you continued to lose weight. Now we weigh 84 kilograms, haven't you already lost too much weight?
After the victory, when I weighed 94 kilograms, I came home, took off my T-shirt and said to myself: "I am not satisfied." When I reached 85, I changed my training program to do more strength training to replace fat with muscle.
About life after the show
- Do you communicate with the participants after the show?
Yes, we periodically communicate with Yan (Samokhvalov - Author's note). There are very warm relations with Alena Zaretskaya, with Yasha (Yakov Povaryonkin from Izhevsk), who took second place. I would like to fight with him in the final. He continues to lose weight and is also engaged in promoting a healthy lifestyle. All of us, this project is just « plowed » ... Fat people often suffer from consumerism. They cannot afford good clothes, but they can afford any food. These consumer moments are completely gone for me.

- What hobbies have come into your life?
In addition to being addicted to sports, I want to return to auto racing. I am drawn to extreme sports - ATVs, motorcycles. My dream is to go to Sochi and repeat the jump from 200 meters. I want bright emotions not from things, but from actions (Timur's Instagram).

Before that, my wife and I tried to have a child for three years, and as soon as the team kicked me out of the project, we succeeded. Now we are expecting a third child (the couple has two sons, 14 and 9 years old. - Author's note). See how much has changed?
