People's lives after the project are balanced people. Super motivation for those who have given up: participants in the “Weighted and Happy People” project before and after. Heroes of the reality show “Weighted People”

The program “Weighted and Happy” is the Ukrainian version of the American show The Biggest Loser. The essence of the project is that participants who are overweight lose weight, and even compete for a prize of 250 thousand hryvnia (almost 9,000 euros). The project is successful and popular, so the seventh season will start this year.

Rules of the project “Weighted and Happy”

At the end of each week, the weight loss teams are weighed, which determines the total weight lost. The team that loses the least weight must vote to determine which competitor will go home. The two people from that team who have lost the least amount of weight are nominated. The winner is the participant who open final in December will lose the most of the initial weight.

Evgenia Mostovenko participated in the project together with her daughter Alexandra, who later had to tell the details of her mother’s death...

All participants are checked

The head of the “Weighted and Happy” project, Natalya Shcherbina, said that all potential participants who passed the casting are examined by doctors: a therapist, a cardiologist, a pulmonologist. Everyone donates urine and blood for a detailed analysis. All participants must be tested for hepatitis and HIV. After the medical examination, the doctor gives an opinion on each applicant - whether a person can participate in the project or his health condition does not allow him.

“They called me and told me that my mother had died”

Perhaps the most “high-profile” death was the death of a participant in the third season of the project, Evgenia Mostovenko. Could a woman have thought that four years after filming she would be gone?

Pashinsky managed to lose 51 kilograms! He was so inspired by the result that he wanted to continue his struggle with weight.

In 2013, 40-year-old Evgenia came to the project with her 17-year-old daughter Alexandra - mostly not for herself, but for her. Mostovenko complained that Sasha was very lazy and easily succumbed to temptations when it came to food. As it turned out, the mother and daughter had previously participated in the “Honey, We Kill Children” program, and even then the girl lost 20 kilograms. True, over time, all efforts were in vain - Alexandra gained even more than her previous weight and began to weigh as much as 105 kilos.

But Mostovenko also went to the project for her own sake. The woman really wanted to give birth to a child for her new husband, who was eight years younger than her, but she couldn’t - she needed to lose weight. Evgenia managed to do this, although the result was not very impressive, and it took her a long time to achieve it. When Mostovenko came to the project, she weighed 130 kilograms, and nine months later the scales showed a double-digit number - 94. But this was enough for the woman - she was very pleased with the new weight.

Igor understood that such a figure would not fit into any goal, and he wanted to become slim and fit again

Evgenia's death, which occurred in January of this year, came as a shock to many and, naturally, raised many questions. Her daughter tried to satisfy the interest and curiosity of the viewers of the project. If you believe Alexandra’s words, then on the day when her mother was taken to the hospital, they talked on the phone, laughed, everything was fine... Mostovenko approved the list of guests, because the next morning was her birthday. “Literally 20-25 minutes later, her boss asked to pick up her mother from work because her blood pressure had increased. But the ambulance was ahead of me. I saw how my mother was taken out on a gurney unconscious. The doctors said that as soon as they left work, she immediately fell into a coma and everything that was in her stomach went into respiratory tract. She was in critical condition- cerebral hemorrhage and pulmonary edema. The next morning, my mother came to her senses, but the doctors decided to keep her in a medically induced coma - she could not breathe on her own. In the following days she looked good, although she lost a lot of weight. And on the morning of January 26, I went into the intensive care unit and saw that my mother’s face and neck were red and blue. An hour and a half later they called me and told me that my mother had died - they couldn’t restart the heart.”

The woman's death certificate states that she had cerebrovascular disease, a hemorrhagic stroke.

Didn't have time to adopt a child

Evgenia Mostovenko has long wanted to become a mother for the second time, but her excess weight did not allow her. But the woman found a way out - last year she and her young husband prepared documents for adoption. The couple even found one child whom they wanted to take into the family. Evgenia began to find out what was needed for adoption, but did not have time to complete this matter.

On the “Weighted and Happy” project, Yakovlev found his soulmate - Natalya Moskalenko. The couple planned to live happily ever after...

“He really wanted to live”

At the end of 2015, Igor Pashinsky, a participant in the fifth season of the “Weighted and Happy” project, who really wanted to get back into good shape, passed away. Igor once served in the airborne troops, then worked in the police. When the Chernobyl nuclear power plant exploded, I went to the liquidation site and worked in a 30-kilometer zone. Problems began after returning from there - I started getting sick, gained excess weight, and then type 2 diabetes.

Igor decided to try himself on the project because he understood that such weight, given his health, could cause disability, and he said that he wanted to be the same as before: strong and fit, so that people would look at him with respect and not with pity. When Pashinsky came to the project, he weighed as much as 193 kilograms and lost 37 kilograms in 13 weeks! But the man did not stop there - during the month and a half he spent at home, he lost another 14 kilograms and settled on the number 142. He simply did not have time to lose even more weight...

Project manager Natalya Shcherbina assured that Igor, as the heaviest participant, was taken care of and released from training and stress at the slightest indisposition. If, for example, Igor turned pale, swayed or was breathing heavily, they immediately asked him to sit and rest. A man diagnosed with arterial hypertension, type 2 diabetes mellitus, dyslipidemia, and obesity practically did not participate in competitions.

Igor’s wife Galina Pashinskaya remembers that after the project her husband returned home happy and joyful, he really wanted to live. Igor came with the hope that he would lose more weight... “He stopped being afraid of people and hiding from them, he wanted to be in plain sight. He was really happy - many noticed this. He told me: “I’m doing all this for you.” And his words inspired me. We were everywhere together. These one and a half months after the project we were happy, as, probably, in the first days of our married life.”

Pashinskaya remembers the fateful November day of 2015 like it was yesterday: “Igor was at training in the morning, in the evening we went to the river to swim. He felt fine. And in the morning he felt bad. I had a headache. He tells me: “I probably won’t accompany you, I’ll lie down.” At 11 he called and said that he felt bad. Igor has never said this before! He was admitted to the hospital with ulcer bleeding. This was the initial diagnosis. But then, as it turned out, he was having a massive heart attack. The autopsy showed that the diagnosis was initially made incorrectly and the treatment was prescribed incorrectly. He was given IV drips to stop ulcer bleeding, and a lot of them, but this could not be done... More negligence. A person's heart stops, and there is no one anywhere. Nobody! There is no attending physician! It’s very hard to remember..."

Galina does not hide the fact that she asked the doctors directly about the project - they say, did it bring harm. And the answer was “No.” “On the contrary, if Igor had not gone to the project and lost weight, he would not have lived this time...”

Ilya’s weight loss was tremendous! The man learned to give up harmful foods, but, alas, this did not save him

"I'm not going to stop"

The bronze medalist of the third season of reality, Ilya Yakovlev, was lucky - he not only lost weight and took a worthy place, but also met his love on the project - Natalya Moskalenko. After the show, their relationship only strengthened, and in 2014 they got married. Ilya was very happy - he talked about how long life together they are planning and dreaming of children... “For my chosen one, it is now more important to maintain her full health, because we still want to have a child in the near future. Therefore, I repeatedly told her that such crazy loads are not needed now. Losing 2-3 kilograms a month to get back to normal shape will be enough for both her and me. “I’m not going to stop,” said Yakovlev, rejoicing at how great his life was going.

Three years ago, The Biggest Loser contestant Damian Gurganious died at the age of just 38.

Ilya came to the project weighing 147 kilograms, lost 48 kilograms and showed a result of 99 kg on the scales at the final post-show. In 2014, Ilya was proud of the fact that he completely gave up flour, the things he used to love very much - pasta, dumplings, dumplings, pancakes. The project changed Yakovlev’s consciousness, so these dishes began to appear on his plate literally once a month. “Looking at how much I ate before and how much now, while being normally full, I can hardly imagine that I could now eat as much as I ate before the project,” Yakovlev boasted. But unfortunately proper nutrition did not save Ilya from death. In May 2015, a 32-year-old man suffered a stroke, after which he died...

The main rules for effective weight loss show Weighted People

Before you understand which program will be effective for a person:

1. You need to understand what your body weight should ideally be (how many kg you need to lose weight and in what time);
2. Daily calculation of daily kilocalorie intake;
3. Selection individual plan nutrition;
4. Drawing up a training program.

A well-designed 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. Do not get hung up on strict diets that lead to exhaustion of the body.

There are only eight correctly effective weight loss:

1. You need to eat in small portions 5-6 times a day;
2. Have a hearty breakfast in the morning, also have a good lunch, dinner should be light and don’t forget to have a snack between the three main meals;
3. High carbohydrate food consume before four o'clock in the afternoon;
4. If you have a sweet tooth, then you can eat fruit;
5. Watch the amount of salt that you consume with food. A large amount of sodium retains fluid in the body, which forms edema;
6. Eliminate sugary carbonated drinks from your diet. Soda is very harmful to the body. It contains a lot of sugar and dyes, which is bad for health;
7. Eat separately, combine food correctly;
8. Give up alcohol or limit yourself to it. Alcoholic drinks contain more than the average person's daily caloric intake.

All nutritionists come to a common opinion: nutrition should be varied. Today there are dozens of diets that imply a monotonous low-calorie diet. For example, a drinking diet, kefir or ABC contain very low calories (less than 800) and contribute to the formation of protein-free dystrophy.

Such a nutritional system can only lead to exhaustion of the body, deterioration of the digestive system and slowdown of metabolism.

So what should nutrition be like, according to nutritionists and fitness trainers?

The daily diet should include:

1. 5-10% fat;
2. 40% carbohydrates;
3. 50-56% protein;
4. Fiber (vegetables, herbs, fruits);
5. From 1.5 to 2.5 liters of water (depending on how active your lifestyle is).

Nutrition plays a big role in body building, but don’t forget about the physical activity itself. At least three times a week for 40-60 minutes, you need to give your body aerobic exercise, and after you get rid of a certain number of kilograms, you need to start anaerobic exercise to gain muscle mass.

Kukharenko Andrey:

What is problem weight? First of all, this is a problem that requires an urgent solution. But the incentive to change your body should not be the usual socially imposed way. A person should think not only about the beauty of his body, but also about his health. He must realize it himself and want it.

If an active lifestyle and proper nutrition do not bring you pleasure, then why change anything? This won't work. If you want to change your body for the better, then you have to want to do it yourself, you have to want to change your life.

Leonova Irina:

I believe that excess weight 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 results of your training, keep a diary where you will write down all your results. In addition to sports results, write in it about your dreams and main goal. Describe your diet, training 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 attribute your failures to other external circumstances.

Semenikhin Denis:

A person begins to change when he gets tired. He is 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’s 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 significant other, but only for your own sake!

Leonova Elena:

All problems come from childhood. If a child with early years parents did not teach how to cope with stressful situations, rely only on themselves and accept challenges outside world, then in the future he risks developing a food addiction. The portion size that is on a child's plate plays a big role.

If you overfeed him, give him a lot of sweets and force him to eat, then as an adult his physiological characteristics will be impaired.

Heroes of the reality show “Weighted People”

Vesta Romanova

Vesta (27 years old) started the project with a weight of 123 kg. During the program she lost 40 kg! Now her weight is 83 kg.

Vesta Romanova decided to lose weight after her boyfriend broke up with her and married another girl. At that moment, Vesta said: “I have nothing more to lose except excess weight.” On the show, she was the most cheerful of all the contestants: she never gave up, did not get upset and encouraged other participants in the project.

Vesta says that motivation is important in any business. “I am a rather lazy person, but the project managed to create the conditions that were ideal for me. I was able to break through a thousand applicants, my life was controlled by trainers and nutritionists. They put together a special diet and training program for me. I quit my job for all this.”

“We lived in a confined space, without the Internet and phones. Every day there were exhausting workouts and healthy food, no sweets,” says Vesta Romanova.

Soon Peter realized that in the world of thin people there is no place for fat people, society does not want to accept them. But he wanted to love and be loved, but excess weight prevented him. Then he realized that it was stupid to dream about it and it was time to take control of the situation.

Having come to the project, Vasiliev Peter, like the other participants, actively took part in sports competitions, ate right and never gave up. He was confident in himself and that is why Peter became the winner of the first season of the “Weighted People” project, reaching a weight of 130 kg.

Alexander admits that he wants to lose weight not because society dictates its standards, but because he just wants to live. Despite all the difficulties, he learned to eat right and look at life differently. “We learned to think differently, we underwent tests not only physical, but also emotional.

The trainers tested our endurance, developed it, and helped us acquire willpower. Soon, diets and physical activity became much easier to bear, as well as moral ones,” says Shikotko.

Despite the fact that Alexander had already left the program, he continued to lose weight.

“I’ve been chubby since childhood. In my first year at the institute I weighed 120 kilograms. But I gained the most last summer - 159. I tried to lose weight more than once. I went on a diet and worked physically. I remember once during construction I lost 30 kilograms. But later the weight returned. I lost 10-15 kilograms when I fell in love with someone. But to be honest, the girls didn’t pay much attention to me,” Alik said in an interview on the eve of the start of the project.

He managed to lose 86 kilograms. After filming was completed, friends and relatives could not believe that Zakrevsky now looked like a completely different person. Changes in appearance also led to changes in his personal life. In 2014, Alik married journalist Tatyana Korytnaya. Now they are raising their common daughter Polina.

Currently, the couple are happy together. In an interview after the show, they talked about their plans to open a fitness center and start making sausages. The main thing is that one does not interfere with the other.

Arkady Vasylishin (winner of the 6th season)

Arkady was the heaviest participant in all seasons of the project. His weight at the time of joining the show was 235 kilograms. During eight months of filming, he lost 132 kilograms and literally changed beyond recognition.

Now that problems with excess weight are a thing of the past, Vasylyshyn goes in for sports for his own pleasure. Yes, he has gained a little weight, but due to an increase in muscle mass - the man spends most of his time in the gym.

His personal life was also quite successful. Arkady is married and has a daughter.

Natalya Tokareva and Alexey Dobryansky (winners of the 7th season)

Alexey and Natalya came to “Weighted and Happy” as a married couple. Together they managed to lose 123 kilograms and win 400 thousand hryvnia. Even before the project, Tokareva was worried that her husband, who is 10 years younger, would leave her and go to some young and slender beauty. After the end of the project, the couple really broke up. It is unknown what caused the breakup.

“Today, Natalya and I have friendly relations. We support and respect each other. We do not put an end to our relationship. Please do not ask us personal questions to which we do not yet have answers. We will not answer any questions about our personal life,” Alexey wrote on his page last year.

The project greatly changed the lives of the couple. They both continue to watch their diet, go to the gym regularly and stay in shape.

During the project, Peter demonstrated his strong-willed character, losing 57.9 kg (initially the young man weighed 155 kg). It should be noted that Peter played sports in his youth, so heavy physical activity was not new to him.

According to him, the hardest part was in the first two weeks of the show, when he had to completely change all his habits, preferences, and daily routine. But maintaining the results after the project turned out to be quite easy:

— After the project, I became interested in CrossFit, at a recent competition in Kaliningrad I showed 8th result among 15 people. Our plans are to undergo specialized training at a medical school to become a professional trainer,” says Peter.

Now he weighs 104 kg, but this is no longer fat, but muscle. The young man works out actively to keep himself in shape.

Regarding appearance, then he admits that due to sudden weight loss he was faced with sagging skin on his stomach and arms. I solved the problem with wraps and massage.

Winner of the second season - Timur Bikbulatov

The 30-year-old Kazan resident came to the show weighing 148 kg. His path was not easy: despite the fact that he was the captain of one of the teams, the participants voted for his exclusion. Timur managed to return and prove that his opponents had good reason to fear him: in 16 weeks he lost 53.7 kg.

Upon returning to Kazan, Timur did not give up training. He devoted 3 hours to cardio and strength training, 5 days a week, and achieved a result of 92 kg. After Timur restored his muscle frame and stabilized his weight, he decided to undergo skin tightening surgery.

— I don’t understand people who refuse to lose weight, citing the fact that their stomach and chest will look ugly later. With rapid weight loss, consequences with the skin can be avoided, but even if problems appear, they can be easily eliminated, given the high level of modern plastic surgery. Excess weight kills us, and all problems with appearance are secondary in comparison.

Timur spoke in detail about the operation on social networks and even posted photos and videos from the operating room. According to him, he is very pleased with the results and has already returned to training. By the way, Timur now works as a personal trainer and offers long-term weight loss courses, including training, an individual diet and, if necessary, plastic surgery.

Vice-champion of the first season - Alexey Uskov

Alexey did not reach the final of the show, however, according to the rules, he had the opportunity to come to the final weigh-ins. His result - minus 63.5 kg - allowed him to take second place in the first season of “Weighted People” and receive a prize of 500,000 rubles.

However, the participant failed to save the result. In his own words, in just a year he gained 50 kilograms by giving up training. On social networks, Alexey admitted that he wants to take control of himself and lose weight again extra pounds. He did not rule out turning to plastic surgeons.

Vice-champion of the second season - Yakov Povarenkin

32-year-old Izhevsk resident Yakov Povarenkin managed to lose even more weight after finishing the project. Returning home, he continued his training and worked out in the gym for 8-10 hours.

As a result, after losing 56.9 kg on the show, he lost another 20 kg. This allowed the man to radically change his life. Today he trains in functional training and CrossFit and “leads” more than 30 people.
