Timur from weighted people of instagram. Timur Bikbulatov: “Now I have to gain weight

Timur Bikbulatov, show winner: “First of all, this victory over yourself and over your bad habits. I became much stronger, the understanding came that even if someone goes against you, you need to fight to the end. And if you act honestly towards yourself and others, you will definitely win. Now I specifically look at my old photos and think: “Who is this ugly and fat person?”. You have no idea how much things have changed since the project. It's just fantastic, I'm now a completely different person!

An additional prize - 500,000 rubles - was received by a 32-year-old Yakov Povarenkin from Izhevsk, who continued to lose weight after leaving the project. He managed to overtake all those losing weight outside the show and lose 56.9 kilograms, which is 33.87% of his original body weight.

Lika Blank, General Producer of STS Media:“The main result of the project is not the lost kilograms of the participants, but the fact that in return they receive faith in their own strength, which they convey to all viewers.”

Yulia Sumacheva, General Producer of White Media:“Participants in the second season of the Weighted People project showed incredible results. For me, each of them is a winner, as each was able to accomplish the most difficult thing - to defeat himself.

Unlike the first season, there were four participants at once in the final of the show instead of three. In addition to Timur Bikbulatov, Alena Zaretskaya from Ukhta, Margarita Bogatyreva from Orenburg and Yan Samokhvalov from the village of Monino in the Moscow Region fought for the main prize.

Yan Samokhvalov, 22 years old, - 66.4 kg (- 35.32%):“I decided to take on myself when I found out that I might not live to be 30 years old. And, to be honest, without the trainers and specialists of the project, nothing would have happened. It was the coolest, but also the most difficult period in my life. Yes, I always wanted to reach the final and win, but the main thing is that the life of a thin person is ahead of me.

Alena Zaretskaya, 28 years old, - 41.2 kg (- 32.44%):“I came to the project so that someone would believe in me. And in the finale, on the one hand, I was happy, and on the other, sad. After all, I said goodbye to those who all this time put a lot of effort into me. Special thanks to Irochka Turchinskaya and Denis Semenikhin. Until the end of my life, I will remember Denis's phrase, said during training: "If you start something, bring it to the end!" Those words helped me a lot."

Margarita Bogatyreva, 24 years old, - 32.8 kg (- 29.55%):“If I hadn’t been on the show, I would never have dropped so many pounds. I can honestly say that I was reborn here.”

Second season. Only numbers

4,050 km (and this is practically the length of the whole of Europe from north to south) - a bike ride on a simulator for the entire show;
. More than 15,000 km were “swimmed” by participants on a rowing machine;
. More than 800 kg were collectively dropped by the participants in four months;
. 8 participants individually lost more than 50 kg;
. More than 40 outfits were changed by the host of the show Yulia Kovalchuk during the project.

Saved from soda "limoncella"

According to the creators of the project, this season all 18 participants knew what they were getting into. For all the time, the “weighted” have never broken into a refrigerator locked with a padlock - as was the case last year. And when in one of the first competitions there was an opportunity to eat whatever you want, the only one who decided on this was Dmitry Shareichuk, but he also chose a low-calorie watermelon in the end. Oleksandr Podolenyuk also resisted the temptation to drink harmful soda, replacing his favorite drink with “limoncella”, as the participants called water diluted with lemon juice. By the way, in the second season the menu was varied and never repeated.

Julia Bastrigina, project nutritionist:“Sometimes, due to changes in well-being or in analyzes, I had to personally adjust the diet for one or another participant. To ensure a variety of dishes, I studied culinary websites and consulted with our wonderful chef Evgeny Lopin.”

Nice bonuses for working on yourself

"Weighted people" were assisted not only by trainers and project specialists, but also by invited guests. For example, the hosts of the show MasterChef. Children ” Andrey Shmakov, Giuseppe D’Angelo, Alexander Belkovich and the winner of the show Alexei Starostin told how to cook not only healthy, but also delicious food.
A fashionable master class was also held by Alexander Rogov, the host of the show “Catch up in 24 hours”, and the goalkeeper of the Russian beach soccer team Andrey Bukhlitsky organized a match between the teams. The finalists of the first season also came to support the participants: Vesta Romanova, Maxim Nekrylov and Petr Vasiliev.

In addition to difficult trials, pleasant bonuses were waiting for the "weighted" ones. So, before the final, they spent a weekend in Sochi, where they rode a yacht, danced in a rock club, tried bungee jumping and tested the Formula 1 track. By the way, the latter was a long-standing desire of Timur Bikbulatov: a lot of weight did not allow him to drive a sports car, but after losing weight, Timur managed to do it.

Nikolai Kharkov's dream also came true - during the project, he wrote a song, calling it the anthem of all "weighted people", and recorded it at the studio together with the participants of the second season.

The winner of the second season of the TV show "Weighted People" Timur Bikbulatov is ready to accept a new challenge and agree to participate in another project. True, while the 31-year-old resident of Kazan finds it difficult to answer the question of what exactly could interest him.

Do you want to live on the island?

- Good idea, after 16 weeks of intense competition, nothing seems to be scary. Although you need to take a breath and do some things that were canceled for the period of filming. The project hardened my entire body, so now I can control not only weight, but also my emotions. I really liked all this television "movement", the cameras on the project did not distract me.

Recall that in 4 months a participant from Kazan lost 53.7 kg: from 148 to 94.3 kg (36.28% of his starting weight). By the way, this morning we found the man in the gym, now he visits it 9-10 times a week. Now a balanced person not only trains himself, but also helps others to do it.

- I used to exist, tried to survive in a large and overweight body, now I live. I even began to breathe in a new way, can you imagine! I am often approached for advice, and I consider myself obliged to help those who have become victims of extra pounds. Perhaps, psychologically, I understand them even more than experienced coaches, I know who and when “slips”, and who is really ready to go all the way and give it their all.

According to Timur, there is no universal way to lose weight quickly. But there is a golden formula that he tried to adhere to even before the project, but did not yet fully believe in its effectiveness.

Every person is unique, so what works well for one may not work well for another. But there is one trick that must be taken into account with any transformation of the body - you always need to spend calories in a larger volume than you get them, while getting rid of them systematically. The more you throw the ball on the ground, the higher it bounces, a categorical "no" to food is not a panacea. And here's another thing - you need to train in tandem with someone who is stronger than you.

Today, Timur can be congratulated on another victory, the Bikbulatovs are preparing to become parents for the third time. Timur went to this goal not for 4 months, but for three years.

- A person must do everything to make his dreams come true. Sometimes it is enough to believe, first of all, in yourself. Thanks to my wife Olesya for her patience and support.

The money earned by sweat and diets, Bikbulatov intends to spend on his family. He decided to buy a few exercise machines for the house.

- In general, there are a lot of obsessive plans related to sports in my head. But I can't talk about anything concrete yet.

We didn’t ask Timur about whether the journalists were harassing the new metropolitan star a lot. However, after talking with us, the man nevertheless hurried to hide the phone number from his page on VKontakte, apparently realizing that now he would be watched even more closely.

Interviewed by Gulnaz Kadirova

On May 28, the second season of the reality show "Weighted People" ended on the STS channel. The main prize of the project - 2,500,000 rubles - went to 31-year-old Timur Bikbulatov from Kazan, who lost 53.7 kilograms in four months, that is, lost 36.28% of his original weight. Timur also owns another record - in just one week he lost 8.4 kilograms.

Second season. Only numbers

• 4,050 km (and this is practically the length of the whole of Europe from north to south) - a bike ride on a simulator for the entire time of the show.
• More than 15,000 km "floated" participants on a rowing machine

Nice bonuses for working on yourself

"Weighted people" were assisted not only by trainers and project specialists, but also by invited guests. For example, the hosts of the show “Masterchef. Children "Andrey Shmakov, Giuseppe D" Angelo, Alexander Belkovich and the winner of the show Alexei Starostin told how to cook not only healthy, but also tasty food. Alexander Rogov, the host of the show "Catch up in 24 hours", and the goalkeeper Andrey Bukhlitsky organized a match between the teams of the Russian beach soccer team, and the finalists of the first season, Vesta Romanova, Maxim Nekrylov and Petr Vasiliev, came to support the participants.

In addition to difficult trials, pleasant bonuses were waiting for the "weighted" ones. So, before the final, they spent a weekend in Sochi, where they rode a yacht, danced in a rock club, tried bungee jumping and tested the Formula 1 track. By the way, the latter was a long-standing desire of Timur Bikbulatov: a lot of weight did not allow him to drive a sports car, but after losing weight, Timur managed to do it. Nikolai Kharkov's dream also came true - during the project, he wrote a song, calling it the anthem of all "weighted people", and recorded it at the studio together with the participants of the second season.

One evening, Timur's eldest son Andrey was doing his math homework. He had difficulty with the task, and dad decided to support him: “Just think, the answer is near. You can!” But the boy, wanting to get rid of his father’s instructions, told him: “Well, dad, you can’t lose weight!” Timur's words touched Andrei to the depths of his soul, he simply fell silent and left.

“Then I decided to take up my mind and once again try to lose the hated kilograms on my own,” the man says. - I walked a lot, worked on an ellipsoid, which by this time replaced our clothes hanger. My classmate Artem, observing such efforts, offered to participate in the project of the STS TV channel “Weighted People”, but then I did not take his words seriously.

Big ship...

According to Timur, he was a fat man from childhood. But no one tried to tease him at school, because he was engaged in freestyle wrestling and could easily hit back even high school students. “Sport held me back at a certain mark of 100 kg,” the man tells StarHit. - But after a compression fracture of the spine with active loads, I had to stop. God was merciful to me, and fullness up to a certain point in my life did not interfere. As you know, such people are merry and kind. I was the soul of the company everywhere, played in a musical group, in KVN and married a slender beauty when my weight had already exceeded a hundred.

But the kilograms were added, and with them the problems. “Once I realized that I can no longer do my favorite karting and racing - I simply can’t fit into a car seat. I had to pay extra for clothes and shoes. For an ordinary person, an insulated vest will cost 3,000 rubles. And as big as me, I have to buy the only one that will be available - for 11 thousand.

In August 2015, Timur was diagnosed with the last, fifth stage of obesity, a predisposition to diabetes and oncology - his dad died of cancer. The 30-year-old Kazan citizen weighed 165 kg with a height of 178 cm.

“I realized that I might not see my sons grow up - 13-year-old Andrei and 9-year-old Bulat. The fat just consumed me,” he continues. - I tried to do it myself, but at best, the weight stopped for a short time, and after taking dietary supplements, I returned with new kilograms. Sometimes I looked in the mirror, and my eyes became wet, because I understood that I would die soon.

Somehow, the future winner of the “Weighted People” project went to a suburban facility for work - together with his brother they had a construction company. And then the phone rang… “It was Artyom again. He did not abandon his idea, offered to urgently cancel everything planned and named the address where I was supposed to be in half an hour for selection for the project, Timur shares. - I resisted his adventure, but then I remembered that I had never been disappointed in the advice of the Theme, and rushed to the TV channel's office, where the last day of the casting took place. I was photographed, asked to fill out a questionnaire, then they said that there were already 12 thousand people who wanted to be among those who were losing weight. But for some reason, from the very first minute, I was sure that I would become a participant. The thought was in my head - I have to prove to my son that I can get in great shape. On the seventh week, according to the voting results, Timur was kicked out of the project, thereby eliminating a strong opponent: he showed one of the best results and was the team captain.

“I did not give up and continued training at home, the weight had already dropped to 120 kg,” says the man. – When I came to one of the best Kazan sports clubs and introduced myself as having dropped out of the “Weighted People”, I was provided with the same free subscription for a whole year. But all these are trifles, because the most important gift is after that departure from the project: we managed to conceive a child. Three years before that, my beloved wife Olesya and I tried to get pregnant - and it didn’t work. I dreamed that I, like my parents, had three sons. Now it has become a reality - very soon my wife will give me a third son!

Fate gave the young man a second chance - he was returned to the show instead of a contestant who had a health threat. And he went this way, finishing on May 28 as the winner of the project. On this day, on the air of STS, Timur was awarded a certificate for 2.5 million rubles.

“For 16 weeks of the show, I lost 53.7 kg, and now I continue to lose weight and weigh only 84 kg! Timur rejoices. - I analyzed the physical exercises and nutrition that the coaches gave us on the project, and I realized that they would not be useful outside the show. In reality, due to work and family affairs, it is impossible to exercise several times a day. I locked myself in a room, asked me not to be disturbed, got on the Internet, surrounded myself with books and began to study the ratio of fats, load and human anatomy. I made a program for myself, then another, then another. Each of them has a different level of effectiveness and helps to lose weight under certain conditions.

Perfect Size

Now he visits the gym 9-10 times a week - he tries to go there in the morning and in the evening. Walking distance to fitness club. “I began to follow the healthy diet of the family, the first thing I did was empty the refrigerator from ketchup and mayonnaise. If you want to treat yourself to a delicious sauce, I just buy sour cream and add natural spices to it - zira, dill or herbs, - the transformed fat man shares his secrets. - I began to carefully read the composition of products in the store so that there were less chemicals, I refuse sausages, sausages, canned food and fast food. Oatmeal, which is brewed in a minute with boiling water, cannot be natural!

The regime in the Bikbulatov family is strict. Lights out until eleven, and in the morning a hearty breakfast. Timur advises to reduce meals in the late afternoon, but warns: you can and should eat after six. Just give up sugar, flour and constantly examine the body. “During the project, I realized that diets are evil. Especially carbohydrate, kefir, buckwheat, - the man explains. - I eat everything and advise you. The exceptions were products with a high content of fats, except for sea northern fish. Enter into the diet of chicken breast, turkey, beef. I can afford a piece of cake, so as not to offend the hospitable hostess. It is important not to consume foods you do not know. If I see a brownie and have no idea how much sugar is in it, then I don't know how long it will take to reset it. I don't force people to eat right. The wife is in position, but the children have no predisposition to be overweight - both sons are like from Buchenwald, and this is even pleasing. He did not get rid of old things - his wife wears shirts like kimonos and tunics. In the closet, next to the new clothes in size 46, there is an old suit in 70. I look at him and remember with horror the time when he was just right for me. After the project, I quit the construction business - my brother and I liquidated the company, solving work issues took a lot of time, there was not enough time for training. You can open a new business even tomorrow, but you won’t return your health, so I decided that I would help those who faced the same trouble as me. Most people who need support stay at home and would never go to the gym. And I can, by my example, pull them out of the swamp. Several people have already tried my program and all have positive results. I understand how the wards feel at every new moment, because I myself went through it. The project’s nutritionist Yulia Bastrygina said that “the one who hurries slowly is in time,” so I teach people to lose weight only so that later they do not gain weight again. I was given knowledge and it would be a sin to bury it. In the summer we plan to use outdoor playgrounds, and in cool weather we will work in the fitness center where I go. In the future, I will involve nutritionists and doctors in the project.”

The man decided to spend part of the money won on exercise equipment - first of all, he wants to purchase professional “rowing” and a treadmill.

“But I don’t want to turn the house into a gym. A hearth is needed for rest, - says the happy father of the family. - The rest of the funds for living and for pampering the family, because they did not see me for almost 4 months of filming. In the near future I plan to go with my eldest son to Sochi in order to repeat my jump from the longest suspension bridge in the world with him. I did this on the project and never experienced such sensations again - then I was shaking for another 4 days. Now I want to set an example for my children every day - how to live while you are young!

On the project, Peter showed a strong-willed character, dropping 57.9 kg (initially, the young man weighed 155 kg). It should be noted that Peter went in for sports in his youth, so great physical exertion was not new to him.

According to him, the most difficult thing was in the first two weeks of the show, when it was necessary to completely change all your habits, preferences, daily routine. But it turned out to be quite easy to maintain the result after the project:

- After the project, I became interested in crossfit, at recent competitions in Kaliningrad I showed the 8th result among 15 people. The plans are to undergo specialized training at a medical university in order to become a professional trainer, - says Peter.

Now he weighs 104 kg, but this is no longer fat, but muscles. The young man is actively engaged in order to keep himself in shape.

As for appearance, he admits that due to the sharp weight loss, he encountered sagging skin on his stomach and arms. I solved the problem with body wraps and massage.

Season 2 winner - Timur Bikbulatov

30-year-old Kazan came to the show with a weight of 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 expulsion. Timur managed to return and prove that his rivals were not in vain afraid of him: in 16 weeks he threw off 53.7 kg.

Upon returning to Kazan, Timur did not abandon training. He devoted cardio and strength training for 3 hours 5 days a week - and achieved a result of 92 kg. After Timur restored the muscular frame and stabilized his weight, he decided to undergo a skin tightening operation.

- I do not understand people who refuse to lose weight, referring to the fact that the stomach and chest will then look ugly. With rapid weight loss, the consequences with the skin can be avoided, however, even if problems appear, they are easily eliminated, given the high level of modern plastic surgery. Excess weight is killing us, and all appearance problems are secondary compared to this.

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, now Timur 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 got 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, refusing to train. On social networks, Alexei admitted that he wants to take on himself and lose those extra pounds again. He did not exclude the appeal 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 the end of the project. Returning home, he continued 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.
