It IS hard, so so hard to admit and to face it too.

I wonder if this programme actually helps any members of the public to go for it?

TheScarlettPimpernel · 03/01/2012 21:26

I tell you what I like about this programme. There's no hate in it. Do you know what I mean?

Not sure if I can cope with yellow girl blubbing the entire time.

EttiKetti · 03/01/2012 21:26

I love yellow girl! Yellow Girl to Win :o

EttiKetti · 03/01/2012 21:27

TSP = not yet - I recall snipiness last time tho later on.

YAY Yellow Girl!

Cheeseandbiscuits · 03/01/2012 21:27

I think it's inspiring, I really do! It's taken me months to be able to run 5k. They've done it straight off, amazing.

I love this programme, I really do!

Poor Irish guy Sad

TheScarlettPimpernel · 03/01/2012 21:28

Oh yes it can get snippy can't it. but I find the set-up less hatey-hatey than some, like 10 years younger and that misogynist bollox

Maybe because it's men and women? And mostly these sorts of programmes are all about women not living up to the media ideal..

ANYWAY. Sam! PULL YOURSELF TOGETHER MAN!

Cheese well done! I havent been able to exercise properly for about 6 months due to ill health, but start tomorrow, gently, I can't WAIT! Had got into a fab routine before I fell ill!

inchoccyheaven · 03/01/2012 21:28

I don't know how they are able to do 5k or any of the physical things being the weight they are. I get knackered running up and downstairs a few times Blush

Good on them I say .

TheScarlettPimpernel · 03/01/2012 21:29

Etti, do you mind my asking how you did it??

OP posts:
EttiKetti · 03/01/2012 21:29

Right its 2nd ad break......who is going!?

EttiKetti · 03/01/2012 21:29

Not at all TSP - gastric bypass........11.5 stone and counting.

FriendofDorothy · 03/01/2012 21:30

I find this programme quite inspirational. I used to watch it in the gym because it made me exercise harder! :D

TheScarlettPimpernel · 03/01/2012 21:30

I agree choccy. I think it's an amazing feat to do exercise at that weight - it's like an average person doing it whilst carrying another adult on their back. Amazing.

EttiKetti · 03/01/2012 21:31

inchoccy I was always V V fit even at 23 stone I did zumba 3 times a week (looked like I had showered in a 1000000oC sauna afterwards, granted :o)

TheScarlettPimpernel · 03/01/2012 21:31

Oh Etti that is just a remarkable achievement: congratulations! Talk about a new lease of life!

Cheeseandbiscuits · 03/01/2012 21:31

Gosh Etti well done. Good luck exercising tomorrow. I was supposed to be up at Zumba tomorrow but so snotty I can't be arsed. Hope you are on the mend!

10years younger is some fucked up shit.

Sam is going me thinks!

TheScarlettPimpernel · 03/01/2012 21:32

Etti I am worried that big bearded Sam and his pal will go Sad

I hope not.

fivegomadindorset · 03/01/2012 21:32

I am 18.5 stone and I can walk 5km a darn sight quicker than that.

fivegomadindorset · 03/01/2012 21:33

Does the team go or does only one of them go?

TheScarlettPimpernel · 03/01/2012 21:33

Zumba eh?!

I'm afraid I have to keep my exercising to what I enjoy, or I just won't do it cos I'm a stubborn wee shite. Walking's the thing for me because I can listen to plays on Radio 4 and get home before the bus

EttiKetti · 03/01/2012 21:33

Thank you! I feel a bit of a fraud tbh, resorting to surgery, but my time was running out healthwise, and I am now just regretful I didn't dp it ten years ago.

but anyway back to the show and the real stars!

inchoccyheaven · 03/01/2012 21:33

Etti that is amazing and well done on weightloss :) I would like to have a go at Zumba, I think they have sessions at our school so might brave it when I'm not working.

I am overweight and v v unfit. Going to try and increase fitness first and then tackle my eating.
