AIBU to think that I won't be buying 'THAT' celebrity fitness DVD?

[BlueAnchor]

Yep! Scarlett Moffatt on LI

WOW what a lot of vitriol being spewed all over the OP. So unnecessary. One person has a go and everyone piles on, and screams at the OP, and they don't even know why!

All she said is she won't be buying the Scarlett Moffatt fitness DVD.

I wouldn't waste my money on it either.

Or on any 'celebrity's' fitness DVD.

YANBU OP.

@beargryllshasabigrope

I have reported you!

Why have you reported the OP?

She has done nothing wrong.

Yeah your first post was totally the start of a 'debate' and not just a bitchy comment

Is not really her advice though is it, it's the advice of the professionals and promoter told through a celeb client/actor of what can be achieved if you follow and stick to the professionals plan. Done many times before and if scarlett doesn't want to follow the intense plan now her contract is over that is up to her.

You second post does seem like a back track on your first

I wish everything Scarlett Moffat did was on DVD and then I wouldn't have to see any of it.

Well it certainly gives the impression the DVD isn't maintainable long term. So for that reason it's a waste of money.

Because it's a completely unnecessary bit of fat shaming for a woman that at one point in her career sold a fitness DVD. OP didn't come on here and say 'I think Scarlett Moffat's weight loss and weight gain are showing the unhealthy side to quick fix DVD promises and crash diets', the OP just stated they wouldn't be buying 'THAT' DVD with a completely pointless one liner. There's a big difference between the two approaches. It is bitchy, fat shaming and out of order. IMO anyway.

I thought the point of the OP was that the fitness video was a sham. The weight loss was achieved at a boot camp in Switzerland with a tough exercise regime and only 600 calories a day but the video pretended it was due to the exercises on the video?

Is that not what you meant OP?

I wouldn't by any Z list celebrity's fitness DVD. What the hell do they know about fitness just cos they are on the telly?

As above pp stated - Scarlett admitted herself (when pressed). Her rapid weight loss was done in massively unhealthy fashion. The DVD contract was already signed prior to the 'lifestyle overhaul'. However that is how these things are done. Anyone buying a £15 'fitness dvd' that promotes a size 16-8 in 8wks is naive at best if they actually expect the same results bopping around their living room for 20mins. On the plus side - young people with overweight issues that are hampering their health may buy a DVD based on a celeb they identify with and exercise. There's no winners or losers here OP! Fools will part with their cash to any old pipe dream, but for those who are motivated to kick start a change it can be a life changer.

Why are some people attacking the OP?
I wouldn't buy any fitness dvd by 'celebs' but the point is charlotte Moffatt has put most of the weigt back on (not that she did it right in the first place ) so hardly a brilliant advertisement!

If you want a Fitness DVD by an actor who is genuinely qualified as a fitness instructor, then I think the only choice is those by Beverley Callard.

Well the OP was a bit bitchy but I thought it was fairly widely known that SM actually lost weight at a boot camp and not by following the advice on her DVD? She’s also put a lot of the weight back on.

This is a funny one. I don't like the shit that's been spewed overnight, about how she looks.

However, she decided to make a fitness DVD and promote an, apparently, health life style and fitness regime that was easily maintainable. She made money out of his and hasn't been able to live up to it. So I am not entirely surprised people are commenting.

I think when celebs do these ages they are going into dangerous ground if they ever fall off the wagon. They are sellong snake oil, they must expect a back lash.

I wouldn't buy a fitness dvd by any supposed celeb. I don't regard Scarlett as a celeb. She only became famous by being on that awful gogglebox and acting stupid. Not really surprised to hear she is now on the equally awful love island

Maybe instead of starting a bitchy thread about Scarlett, start a thread about the ways in which women are pressured by the media into losing weight in order to be seen as valuable, usually by fitness DVDs which conceal the unhealthy and unsustainable crash diets that usually go on behind the scenes.

Why is this dvd so particularly bad op? I don’t really get what you mean..?

Anyway, as pps said, it’s not her advice, it’s the advice of fitness instructors etc with SM as the face of it. I’ve really enjoyed some of the Davina ones. But I get how it’s annoying that every sleb going seems to do one these days.

I like SM though. I think she’s quite funny on Gogglebox.

I don't know who Scarlett Moffat is and don't watch Love Island. But I'm.gathering from.this thread that she's some sort of D list celebrity who brought out a fitness/weight loss DVD and now has put the weight back on. Is that right?

In which case No, I wouldn't buy the dvd either. But I also wouldn't bitch about her.

Ooooooh it’s because she’s regained the weight? Well, that’s not that shocking is it? They all have to lose weight for the DVDs. As if doing a 45 min dvd three times a week will keep you slim for life . Nobody sensible really believes what they’re sold with these dvds do they?

So yabu.

I wish everything Scarlett Moffat did was on DVD and then I wouldn't have to see any of it

It isn't obligatory. i've never heard of her.

Wow - what about healthy debate.

Where, exactly, in your OP do you invite 'healthy debate'? You've backtracked furiously with your subsequent disingenuous post pretending it wasn't just a bitchy attack on a young woman and her weight.

At least own it if you're going to behave like a bitch.

Why pick on one specific celebrity? Nasty .

The opening post (headline) should create interest and debate. I stand by that. ( and I was surprised to see how much Scarlett Moffat had changed from the last time I saw her on tv given her promotion through her own weight loss).

I am disheartened with this celeb as a role model, making money from other people's wish to be slim and healthy. I didn't know that Scarlett had admitted that her weight loss and fitness were fake.
Watching tv last night it was really apparent that she hadn't followed or wasn't able to maintain her weight loss. Disappointing for those that bought into her promotion of success.

So she can never gain weight after she's made a fitness dvd because it's conning those that bought hers? Errr.......
