Super-motivation for those who gave up: participants of the "Weighted and happy people" project before and after. "Weighted people": how was the life of the bright participants after the project? Weighted people 3 life after the project

Three and a half months ago, one of the brightest participants in the show, Elena Sadikova, could not dress herself, her daughters called her grandmother, and the eldest, Alina, believed that she did not have a mother and she did not want to be like this woman. The reason for this was overweight - at the age of 37, the arrow of the scales showed 180 kg. Now Lena is admired by relatives, and fans are attacking social networks with words of support - a woman who has lost 74 kg has returned to her native Vyksa after the Weighted People project.

Trying to lose weight lasted a week

In her youth, the girl’s weight did not cause concern, rather the opposite - Lena grew up so thin that on the first of September she was carried on her shoulder by a high school student, like the smallest first-grader. At the age of 17, the girl got married and after a while her daughter Alina was born, and then Karina.

For a loving family, Elena was ready for anything - every day she invented culinary delights to surprise the household. Along with new dishes, extra pounds came into the life of the girl - every year Lena gained 5-10 kg.

I could easily cook meals for 50 people - this is not a problem for me, - Elena says confidently. So the woman recovered to 130 kg.

Being a lifestyle activist, 33-year-old Elena did not lose heart, but cherished the hope of losing weight in order to take part in the annual show "The Bride" in Vyksa.

I tried to lose weight every year, but I only had enough for a week. And I decided, I weigh 130, which means 130. I will participate anyway, - Elena recalls.

Rested with Malakhov in Thailand

Elena sewed a beautiful white dress for the competition and prepared a poem of her own composition, in which she confessed her love to her husband from the stage. The performance of the participant went “with a bang” and the next day Elena was already known to many residents of Vyksa.

The spirit of competition encouraged the woman to apply for the next project "Vacation with Malakhov". The questionnaire had to tell why she should go to Phuket with Andrey Malakhov.

Every year I make a wish card and I wrote in the application for participation that my wishes written on this card always come true. And one of the conceived is to go on a trip with Malakhov, who is able to fulfill the host himself, thereby proving that the card works, - Elena laughs.

The next day, the woman goes to apply for a passport, and after a while Elena turns out to be one of the 10 lucky ones whom Malakhov chose for vacation.

In 2014, Elena Sadikova entered the Vacation with Malakhov project. Participants spent two weeks with the TV presenter in Thailand A photo: Social network

For two weeks we lived in a luxurious hotel, every day we went on two or three excursions, sailed on a yacht. It was a fairy tale.

After the rest, the participants became so friendly with each other that they continue to communicate to this day - every year they meet with families in Abkhazia.

Nearly died in childbirth

When Elena's husband wanted a third child, the woman refused. Allegedly, "and so you live in raspberries - a wife, two daughters." Elena was pushed to take a risky step by her husband's diabetes mellitus - after the doctors' diagnosis, the man completely drooped. And the devoted wife decided at all costs to give birth to a third child.

The pregnancy was difficult. Elena gained up to 155 kg and there were strong pressure surges.

One day I felt so bad that I was taken to intensive care. The pressure jumped 220 to 180 and they decided to do a caesarean section.

Elena managed to give birth to a healthy daughter, but for the next nine months the woman hardly walked - the seam did not heal in any way.

There was no trace left of Elena's activity. A mother of many children could hardly move around the house, and getting to the bus stop was a real journey.

My husband called me for a walk all the time. And I was very lazy. I found excuses that I needed to cook food or iron clothes.

Before going to bed, Elena seemed to have clear images of tomorrow's freshly prepared dishes. Especially satisfactorily, the stomach rumbled at salads with a lot of mayonnaise and side dishes fried in oil.

"My daughter called me a bag of potatoes"

When the mother of many children was no longer able to dress herself, the daughters sounded the alarm. Alina renamed her mother in the phone book as "1000 kg" and stopped obeying. And Karina cried every now and then, because she was afraid of losing her mother.

I asked my mother to lose weight in a good way. She didn't listen. I think that I lost my mother a long time ago and I don’t want to be like her, ”Alina said terrible words.

When Alina called me a bag of potatoes, something turned over in me. I felt so offended that I could not sleep, - says Elena.

On the same sleepless night, at three o'clock in the morning, a woman filled out a questionnaire for the "Weighted People" project. The questionnaire consisted of 26 questions of the kind “what will it give you?” "Who do you want to lose weight for?"

“We don’t need happy and fat people”

Soon Elena is preparing for a Skype interview, which is successfully completed and goes to the next tour in Moscow.

When I entered the casting room, I saw a bunch of people and cameras there - photographers, editors, psychologists. They asked a lot and personal. Psychologists hit the patient, to the point, led to emotions. They said that “we don’t need happy and fat ones,” - this is how Elena remembered one of the casting days.

The most recent and difficult test was to successfully pass the medical examination. For the project, those who could withstand strict nutrition and physical activity were selected. A film crew came to the home of the selected applicants and filmed a short video.

It was trash. They filmed absolutely everything - how I rattle dishes in the kitchen, how my daughter snaps at me, how hard it is to get out of bed, how my daughter helps me put on my pants. Thank God that everything did not go on the air, - Elena sighs with relief.

Elena heard the cherished phrase after five months of casting. Then the family did not take the participation of mother and wife seriously, they believed that they would return home in two weeks. But Lena herself decided to prove the opposite and compete for a place in the final.

“My body went crazy without food”

The woman realized that she was stuck tightly while filming at the Sochi airport:

I had to go up and down the stairs many times. Filmed for 10 hours. For me it was a feat.

And the hardest part hasn't even started yet. When the participants were put on hard food, Elena's body began to rebel.

Ate very little. The body was not enough, he went crazy. Portions seemed tiny. I would have lost my temper long ago if there was anything but water in the refrigerator in the place where we lived. We only had 24/7 access to it.

Elena told Komsomolskaya Pravda that “brownies” were assigned to the participants, who accompanied them on the street and indoors. Passports and telephones were taken away from all those who were losing weight, and access to the street was restricted. Harmful habitual food was replaced with vegetables and side dishes were removed.

Breakfast was an almond flour casserole with berry syrup. Sugar was replaced with stevia. And salt was consumed with a reduced sodium content. Fruits and cereals were completely excluded from the diet. All dishes were prepared without oil, baked or steamed.

Participants were fed broccoli, squid, shrimp salads, and soups that had green beans instead of potatoes. Coffee was replaced with chicory, and participants often had to eat healthy, but unloved by many flaxseed porridge on the project.

Now many people ask Elena for a diet, hoping to repeat the success of a woman. But the show's nutritionist Yulia Bastrigina does not recommend repeating such meals for a long time:

The participants were prepared such meals as part of the show. In an extremely short time, people had to show great results. For a person in other conditions, such a diet is contraindicated.

“I was afraid that they would send me home for tears”

Elena considers her “red team” and coach Natalya Lugovskikh to be the main achievement of the project.

Natasha made us do cardio every morning. Before breakfast, we walked for 40 minutes, ran down the street. I always ended up behind everyone and cried. It was very hard. But I was afraid to show tears, so as not to be sent home.

In Elena's team, all colleagues in one way or another came into contact with sports before. Some were wrestlers, some were swimmers. In the life of a mother of many children, there was no sport at all.

Weighing at the end of each week was also a test. According to the scenario, the participants should weigh in in short tops, which upset Elena very much:

I pulled my pants up to hide my stomach, and they tell me to dump it out. I got hysterical and started crying. I say, it's ugly and unaesthetic - my stomach is like a tractor moved. But the organizers don't care - dump it and that's it.

Closer to the final, Elena was given a video from Malakhov, where the TV presenter supported an old friend and asked not to give up.

"They called me a rokovuha"

At the final, Elena Sadikova made a splash. In the thinner beauty, neither the husband, nor the children, nor the participants themselves recognized the former obese woman. If at the beginning of the project Lena was dubbed Choli's mother, now Karmen and Rokovuha have become her nicknames.

My husband was delighted, and my daughter decided to follow my example. I'm not upset that I didn't win. I want everyone to see that I have turned from a nag into a different person, ”says Elena.

If earlier Elena Sadikova was called Choli's mother on the project, now the nickname "Rokovukha" has been attached A photo: Social network

After the project, the sport was not abandoned - the ex-participant of the show immediately signed up for a local gym.

Fans do not give Elena a pass on social networks, for many a woman has become a motivator - the questions "how did you achieve such a result?", "Share useful recipes?" is under each photo of the former participant. True, because of such popularity, Elena does not have enough time at all.

I wanted to thank everyone who wrote to me after the final. Therefore, she slept very little for two days - she answered messages and calls. There were a lot of them, I was even scared, but now I see a sincere interest and I want to write my story on Instagram.

The red team turned out to be so friendly that the participants communicate even after the project.

Many will come to visit me in Vyksa this summer, even our coach Natasha Lugovskikh. And I plan to start a trip to the dolmens in a month and do yoga there, - Elena shared her plans.

On February 17, 2018, the 4th season of the “Weighted and Happy People” project started on STS. For 16 weeks of the show, the participants went through seven circles of hell and were able to get rid of the hated kilograms.

Just yesterday, this smiling, stylish girl with an unusual name could not tie her shoelaces on her sneakers without feeling dizzy, did not want to leave the house without special need, and lived on the principle of “food-work-food-home-food”. Today, only memories remain of that sad life.

29-year-old Vesta Romanova took part in the last year (the second season of which has already started on STS) and reached the very final, losing a cash prize of 3 million rubles to 30-year-old Pyotr Vasiliev. However, the girl, in spite of everything, considers herself the winner. Today Vesta looks great and successfully combines work and family.

Having been in the hands of professionals, the former "weighted" now willingly shares her acquired knowledge with those who need it. Romanova develops nutrition programs, helps to find the right motivation and simply charges her 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 you really share your story - then without embellishment and cuts. In an exclusive interview with the site, Vesta Romanova told how wonderful life was "light".

. Why did you get so many?

Vesta Romanova: As my psychologist says, everything happened because of my personal life. And not because of her absence, but on the contrary: I tried to protect myself from relationships that, as a rule, did not end in anything good.

“I ate and gained weight in order to completely protect myself from communication with men, not to attract their attention. Which, by the way, I did not succeed.

Even when I weighed 123 kilograms, I was in great demand among the representatives of the stronger sex. And the further, the worse.

V.R.: When I was in school, we didn’t have the concept of “fat” at all. My classmates and I were very active: we didn’t sit at computers or TVs, but, on the contrary, spent all our time outside. I was an ordinary girl in the body, but not a fat one. I played a lot of sports, so I didn’t gain weight. The problems started when I broke up with a young man after seven years of relationship.

I felt great, having a weight of 110 kilograms. Only at the moment when the scales showed the number 120, she began to experience discomfort. It was hard for me to walk, turn, bend down. The worst thing is that I was lazy and I didn’t want to do anything at all. Probably, the brain also swims with fat.

“I came to work and just sat there all day. Constantly ate and hung 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 it doesn’t need anything else in this life.”

website: When did you come to the conclusion that it was time to change?

V.R.: At some point, it became completely unbearable. I bent down to tie my shoelaces and my blood pressure suddenly rose. My face was filled with 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 accidentally stumbled upon an ad for a casting in a new reality show about weight loss. I sent my application and forgot about it, because I was sure that only their own people are taken to such projects. Surprisingly, I was invited to come to the casting, where I talked with a psychologist. After that, there was a silence that lasted for more than a month. Just before the start of the filming process, I was informed that I was in the project.

website: All this time before the start of filming, did you try to lose weight on your own?

V.R.:"Oh yeah (laughs)... From time to time, like any normal woman, I was overcome by a desire to lose weight. And I immediately went for the “miracle pills”, mistakenly believing that this would help me lose weight, and quickly.”

Probably, I have tried on myself all possible diets and pills. Now I understand that miracles do not happen. Regrettably, you always get rid of extra pounds very slowly. It is a pity that many do not believe and continue to stubbornly look for quick ways to part with hated fat.

website: What was and is now the main motivation for you to keep yourself in shape?

V.R.: Mirror! In general, as it turned out, many overweight people do not look at themselves in the mirror, they are afraid to be photographed and post their pictures on social networks. You know, such a good principle of protection: "I don't see it, so it doesn't exist."

“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, every woman strives to be beautiful.

website: Were you upset that you didn’t win the final of the show and 3 million rubles went to another?

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 overpower myself, give up bad habits and tune in to a new life. And money ... You can always earn them - there would be a desire.

website: What weight are you now 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 finally acquires a relief. After all, it used to be quite problematic.

Now I also began to observe the sleep schedule: 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 I used to be. I also gave up alcohol completely.

V.R.: The morning starts with breakfast. Then, if I have time, I go to the gym for strength training. In the evening, according to the cardio schedule - cycling or running.

V.R.: My approximate diet is as follows:

Breakfast: Buckwheat with milk

Snack:"Caprese" for the poor - my anti-crisis recipe (smiles). Tomatoes, cottage cheese (instead of Mozzarella), herbs, spices, half a teaspoon of olive oil

Dinner: Bean soup (beans, potatoes, onions, carrots, chicken breast), chicken with millet (baked chicken, boiled millet)

Snack: Fresh cabbage and carrot salad

Dinner: Braised chicken with vegetables (chicken breast, white cabbage, onion)

Everything is simple, tasty and low-calorie. I also follow the amount of proteins, fats and carbohydrates.

website: By the way, as far as we know, after the project, pleasant changes took place in your life in your personal life ...

V.R.: Yes, I got married. Matvey, my husband, is a man who really knows what he wants. He is an interesting conversationalist, very intelligent and well-read. I was attracted to him by the fact that he never gives up, if he takes on any business. Always completes all projects. I am probably one of the most difficult projects for him (laughs) because Matvey sought my favor for a long time.

“My husband is my motivation to get better. After all, it was he who drew me into the world of cycling, introduced me to his circle of friends, introduced me to new people. For his sake, every day I try to become a little better, because next to me is the right, principled and a little stubborn man.

website: Did marriage change you?

V.R.: Before Matthew, my life was incomplete. Previously, I actively stuffed tattoos into which I laid a special meaning. Thus, I tried to attract into my life everything that I lacked so much: happiness, health, material well-being, peace of mind, love. And all the time I was “swinging” like a pendulum from side to side, although I wanted stability and calmness.

“Matvey became my weight on the second scale. He is the one who always finds the right words. Even my outbursts of anger (and I am a rather emotional person) my husband “extinguishes”, without doing anything special for this. He has a lot of energy."

By the way, betraying Petya (during the reality show “Weighted People”, Vesta Romanova began dating a project participant and future winner, Pyotr Vasiliev. Both had serious intentions, the couple even planned to get married, but in the end Peter cheated on Vesta and went to another, - approx. site ) I survived only thanks to Matthew. He was there all the time, helping me not to give up, not to break under the yoke of gossip that crawled when everything opened up. Now, of course, I regret that I put my relationship on display. But then my husband appeared in my life. So, it was not all in vain.

V.R.: My most important project for today is a sanatorium in Sochi for those who want to lose weight. We opened it together with Vlad Ushakov, a participant in the first season of the show "Weighted People". We have selected an excellent team of specialists - nutritionists, psychologists, trainers. I am leading the project as a trainer-administrator. In our program - 21 days of rest, sports, needlework, excursions and, of course, the fight against excess weight. I'm sure it will be fun!

? You didn't study to be a coach, after all.

V.R.: Yes, I'm not a professional, but I have a lot of experience. I have experienced various types of diets, workouts and I know what can be more effective. Therefore, I willingly share with everyone the knowledge that I received on the “Weighted People” project.

"I like to help people. It's nice to know that someone can benefit from your advice."

website: What would you wish to our readers who want to lose weight?

V.R.: Work on yourself. Look in the mirror more often. Do not be afraid to criticize yourself, soberly evaluate your figure. Indulgence will not lead to anything good. In order to become slimmer, you need to act: do not skip workouts, eat right, keep a sleep schedule.

Always strive for the best and never give up! Even if you are in physical pain or have lost only one hundred grams in a week, do not stop! And most importantly - a varied diet. If you sit on the same chicken with buckwheat, breakdowns are inevitable. So indulge in delicious treats. Sometimes it is possible to cheer up!

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 ideal body weight should be (how many kg you need to lose weight and for how long);
2. Daily calculation of the daily norm of kilocalories;
3. Selection of an individual nutrition plan;
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 in the first place. Do not go in cycles in rigid diets that lead to depletion of the body.

There are only eight correctly effective weight loss:

1. Need to eat small meals 5-6 times a day;
2. 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;
3. high carbohydrate food consume before four o'clock in the afternoon;
4. If you crave sweets then you can eat fruit;
5. Watch your salt that you eat 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 has a lot of sugar and dyes, which is bad for health;
7. Eat separately, correctly combine food;
8. Give up alcohol or limit yourself to it. Alcoholic beverages contain more than the daily calorie intake of the average person.

All nutritionists come down to a consensus: 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 contain very low calories (less than 800) and contribute to the formation of protein-free dystrophy.

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

So what should be the nutrition, 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. 1.5 to 2.5 liters of water (depending on how active you are).

Nutrition plays a big 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 exercise, and after you get rid of a certain number of kilograms, you need to start anaerobic exercise in order 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 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 won't work either. 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.

Leonova Irina:

I believe that being overweight is directly related to psychological problems. Most people don't solve their problems, they "eat" 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 write down all your results. In addition to sports results, write in it about your dreams and your main goal. Describe your diet, training plan, how you will achieve your goal.

You train under your own 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 the 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 the 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 soulmate, but only for your own sake!

Leonova Elena:

All problems come from childhood. If a child from an early age was not taught by his parents to cope with stressful situations, rely only on himself and accept the challenges of the outside world, then in the future he risks earning a food addiction. The portion size 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, then as an adult, his physiological characteristics will be disturbed.

Heroes of the reality show "Suspended People"

Vesta Romanova

Started Vesta (27 years old) on 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: they never gave up, did not get upset and encouraged other project participants.

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 perfect for me. I was able to break through a thousand applicants, my life was controlled by trainers and nutritionists. I was given a special diet and training program. For all this, I quit my job.”

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

Vasiliev Petr (27 years old) came to the project with a weight of 155 kg. During the program, he managed to lose 25 kg.

In his youth, Peter went to the judo section. He led an active lifestyle, participated in competitions. But after Peter turned 18, he quit sports, as college studies began and there was simply no time for judo classes. After the physical activity dropped sharply, the weight began to gain.

Soon, Peter realized that there was no place for the thin in the world for the fat, society did not want to accept them. But he wanted to love and be loved, but being overweight prevented him. Then he realized that it was stupid to dream about it and it was time to take the situation into his own hands.

Having come to the project, Vasiliev Petr, like the other participants, actively took part in sports, ate right and never gave up. He was self-confident 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 own 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, passed tests not only physical, but also emotional.

Coaches tested our endurance, developed it, helped to acquire willpower. Soon, diets and physical activity began to be tolerated much easier, as well as moral ones, ”says Shikotko.

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

Doctors explain the death of participants in a reality show about weight loss.

On Russian television, the 3rd season of the TV project "Weighted People" (STS) has begun. This is an analogue of the American project "The Biggest Loser" ("Lost the most"). According to the plot, overweight people lose weight under the control of doctors and other specialists. The participant who loses more excess weight receives a prize of 3 million rubles.

On our STS channel, the project was launched after it had already been successful in other countries. For example, in Ukraine, as many as 6 seasons have come out - the project is very popular and is called "Weighted and Happy".

But recently there was an emergency. At the end of January 2017, a 44-year-old member of the “Weighted and Happy” died. In social networks, the cause of death of the ex-participant of the TV project is actively discussed. It turned out that this is the third death of the former heroes of the reality show "Weighted and Happy." Despite the fact that they are allowed to compete after a thorough medical examination, and professionals monitor the loads and diets, the question arose: did the death of people provoke their weight loss in a television project?

Story #1
Evgenia Mostovenko (pictured above before and after losing weight) came to the Weighted and Happy project in 2013. She was then 40 years old. The woman weighed 130 kg with a height of 170 cm. She recovered greatly after taking hormonal drugs. After 5 weeks, she left the show, dropping 10 kg. At home, Mostovenko continued to lose weight - at the control weigh-in in a reality show, she weighed 94 kg. Total: for 9 months it took 36 kg.

The woman decided to participate in the project in order to give birth to a child to her husband, who was 8 years younger than her. Doctors said: for this you need to lose weight. Another incentive to come on television for Evgenia was the desire to help her daughter lose weight: in this season of the project, they lost weight in pairs. Zhenya wanted to become an example and company for her Alexandra.
Mostovenko said that after losing weight, her health improved, her legs stopped hurting, and she was able to skate on her favorite bike.

- Mom is hypertensive. But the pressure increased only when she was nervous, - said Alexandra Mostovenko.
In January 2017, Yevgenia's blood pressure rose at work, the woman lost consciousness, and Mostovenko died a few days later in intensive care. Diagnosis - cerebrovascular disease (develops against the background of hypertension, causes cerebrovascular accident); stroke.
Zhenya Mostovenko failed to give birth to a second child, but with her husband they collected documents for adoption ...

Story #2

Ilya Yakovlev, 32, also died of a stroke. He, like Evgenia Mostovenko, was a participant in the 3rd season of "Weighted and Happy".
In 2013, the guy reached the final of the TV project: he came to the show with a weight of 147 kg, lost 48 kg, began to weigh 99 kg. Ilya passed away in 2015.

Yakovlev came to the TV project with the hope of losing weight (he recovered due to sedentary work and a sedentary lifestyle) and, thanks to this, to meet a soul mate.

All dreams came true: a guy from Donetsk lost weight and fell in love with participant Natasha on the project. A year later, the couple got married.

It is worth noting that at the beginning Ilya Yakovlev was even considered lazy on the “Weighted and Happy”. The reason is that he did not seek to quickly lose weight, he refused heavy loads, deciding to lose a few kilograms a month. The man was afraid of harm to health.

Story #3

52-year-old Igor Pashinsky died of a heart attack. The man came to the 5th season of the TV project with a weight of 193 kg (height 176 cm) and lost 37 kg in 13 weeks. After participating in the show, he continued to lose weight at home - in a month and a half he lost another 14 kg.

Pashinsky decided to lose weight with the help of specialists on television, since he could not lose weight on his own. And because of health problems caused, among other things, by obesity, he was afraid of becoming disabled. The man worked in the police, took part in the liquidation of the consequences of the explosion at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant, and when he returned, he began to get sick often. Igor had type 2 diabetes.

After participating in "Weighted and Happy" Pashinsky began to feel better. “He stopped being afraid of people, hiding from them,” said his wife Galina Pashinskaya. - Weight led to the fact that for two years he practically did not work anywhere. He was removed from the bank: what kind of guard is he who does not go through the door.

Pashinsky's wife said that she had not seen her husband so happy for a long time. But a month and a half after returning from filming, Igor died - a massive heart attack, coronary heart disease. Galina Pashinskaya said that the doctors confessed to her: if her husband had not gone on the project and had not lost weight, he would not have lived even this time.
On the project, Igor was taken care of: they were exempted from competitions, they were given small loads.
