Claire Richards from Steps - BBc3 losing weight for wedding.

[mooseloose]

Anyone see it? was very good, she worked really hard to lose so much weight.

New You is the bootcamp I went to - more hardcore but much bigger weight loss.

God, nearly 2 grand. That works out at £500 per lb in Claire's case ! I HATED that man towards the end (a photographer?) who looked at her old pics and referred to her as The Heifer. Horrible little man.

Just watched this
she's so lovely
hope she manages to keep it off

photographer was vile little shit

photographer was vile.

Something very odd about Lisa's face.
I did not recognise Faye at all

I thought Faye had aged quite a bit. Not sure if it is to do with dying her hair. Lisa has always looked and sounded a bit odd to me though.

Faye's hair is that typical colour of a blonde who has gone brunette - sort of reddish brown washed out colour - I should know as mine went like that when I went dark, but hurrah now back to blonde. I think that is what is aging her - she should hit the bleach again.

Check me out critiquing (sp) all the celebs when I am sitting here 3 stone overweight with crap hair and clothes that don't fit! Aah the joys of Mumsnet!

Nancy66 - please tell me about the bootcamp you went to.

mymatekate I was thinking something similar and actually felt quite bad about saying Lisa has an odd face. Most unkind of me.

Stressed2007 - they have a website www.newyoubootcamp.com

I went to the 'basics' one - which is no frills, sleep in military style dorms etc. I would recommend this one as people on this somehow seemed to lose more weight than those on the luxury one.

You go to a retreat in the Brecon Beacons and you undertake....wait for it....12 hours of exercise a day - yes 12! It's all over seen by military instructors. It's very very tough - the food is very good but no carbs, no sugar, no booze and no caffeine.

Are you quite fit anyway?

Now finished watching this show and I think what Claire has achieved is amazing - I hope she is suitably proud of herself.

I think it was a fab show and she seems a lovely lady.

I can't believe how thin she was pre steps BUT I guess maybe alot of us women have hang up's pre kids..?

I remember on my wedding day when I was 9 st, I thought I was fat...roll on 5 yrs and 2 kids later and I was carrying an extra 3 stone..then I was fat...

Im now about 9.7 st having lost almost 3 stone and can't believe that I felt fat at this weight before iykwim...

Brill show and I think she documented it well. Better than Lisa scott-whoever who moaned about baby weight when post baby probably only had 3lb's to loose.. (btw anyone else find her V annoying when speaking to claire about steps days..)

Am watching this on iplayer now. She seems like a nice woman who's been really unhealthy and has worked damn hard to get fit. I don't care if she used her wedding as a goal. Bloody good for her for working so hard to get down to a nice size 12 - am assuming she did, not watched it all..

yes, she did beanieb.

Although like most of us women she has yoyo'd since...no big deal. Its hard lossing weight and keeping it off..

And her bloke is lovely.

yes he is beanie

I know it was symobolic and everything but she could have given her old big clothes to charity rather than burn them all... Enjoyed the programme though, very inspiring!

I loved the programme and thought she was al lovely girl.
I thought the strange thing was that she lost so much weight between finishing 'fat camp' and her wedding 11 4lbs to 10 6lbs without any explanation.I thought it was only a couple of weeks or so ?
I think at fat camp she must have burned a hell of a lot more than 4 lbs of fat but it was disguised by an increase in muscle.Maybe the increase in muscle speeded up her metabolism and helped her shift the final poundage ?
