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 - was received by 31-year-old Timur Bikbulatov from Kazan, who lost 53.7 kilograms in four months, that is, he lost 36.28% of his original weight. Timur also holds another record - in just one week he lost 8.4 kilograms.
Timur Bikbulatov, show winner:“First of all, this is victory over yourself and your bad habits. I became much stronger, I realized 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 photographs and think: “Who is this ugly and fat man?” You can't imagine how much everything has changed since the project. This is just fantastic, I’m completely different now!”
An additional prize - 500,000 rubles - was received by 32-year-old Yakov Povarenkin from Izhevsk, who continued to lose weight after leaving the project. He managed to overtake everyone losing weight outside the show and lost 56.9 kilograms, which is 33.87% of his original body weight.
Lika Blank, general producer of CTC 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 pass on to all viewers.”
Yulia Sumacheva, general producer of White Media:“The participants in the second season of the Weighted People project showed incredible results. For me, each of them is a winner, since each was able to accomplish the most difficult thing - defeating themselves.”
Unlike the first season, there were four participants in the finale 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, Moscow Region, competed for the main prize.
Yan Samokhvalov, 22 years old, -66.4 kg (-35.32%):“I decided to take charge of myself when I learned that I might not live to see thirty. And, frankly, 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 lies 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 put a lot of effort into me all this time. 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!” Then these words helped me a lot.”
Margarita Bogatyreva, 24 years old, -32.8 kg (-29.55%):“If I hadn’t gotten on the show, I would never have lost so many kilograms. I can honestly say: I was born again here.”
Season two. Only numbers
- 4,050 km (which is practically the length of the entire Europe from north to south) is the bike ride on a simulator for the entire duration of the show.
- Participants swam more than 15,000 km on a rowing machine
- Participants collectively lost more than 800 kg in 4 months
- 8 participants individually lost more than 50 kg
- The host of the show, Yulia Kovalchuk, changed more than 40 outfits during the project.
- Limoncella saved me from soda
According to the creators of the project, this season all 18 participants knew what they were getting into. During all this time, the “weighed” have never broken into a locked refrigerator, as happened last year. And when in one of the first competitions the opportunity arose to eat whatever he wanted, the only one who decided to do it was Dmitry Shareichuk, but he also ended up choosing a low-calorie watermelon. Alexander Podolenyuk also resisted the temptation to drink harmful soda, replacing his favorite drink with “limoncella” - that’s what the participants called water diluted with lemon juice. By the way, in the second season the menu was varied and was never repeated.
Yulia Bastrigina, project nutritionist:“Sometimes, due to changes in well-being or tests, I had to personally adjust the diet of one or another participant. To ensure a variety of dishes, I studied culinary sites and consulted with our wonderful chef Evgeniy Lopin.”
Nice bonuses for working on yourself
“Weighted people” were helped 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 Alexey Starostin told how to prepare not only healthy, but also tasty food. Alexander Rogov, the host of the show "Catch in 24 Hours", and the goalkeeper also held a fashionable master class The Russian beach soccer team, Andrei Bukhlitsky, organized a match between the teams. The finalists of the first season, Vesta Romanova, Maxim Nekrylov and Pyotr Vasiliev, also came to support the participants.
In addition to difficult trials, the “weighted” also received pleasant bonuses. So, before the final, they spent a weekend in Sochi, where they rode on a yacht, danced in a rock club, tried their hand at bungee jumping and experienced the Formula 1 track. By the way, the latter was Timur Bikbulatov’s long-standing desire: his heavy 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 in the studio together with the participants of the second season.
Timur Bikbulatov received 2.5 million rubles as the person who lost the most weight. During the 16 weeks of the project, he lost 54 kg. Participation in a show about weight loss radically changed Timur not only externally, but also internally. He spoke about the show, relationships with the participants and how he managed to overcome the “fat man psychology” in an interview with AiF-Kazan.
Non-random accidents
Daria Khodik, AiF-Kazan: Timur, how did you get involved in this project?
Timur Bikbulatov: One day I was visiting my best friend Artem Filippov, and the first season of “Weighted People” was on TV. And Artem drew attention to the program and said that it would be nice for me to get on this show. I say it’s not bad, of course, but there’s casting, how many thousands of people dream of getting in, and it’s generally unclear whether there will be a second season. Several months pass, a normal working day, and suddenly Artem calls: “You have a few hours to come to such and such an address. But he doesn't say why. “Dude, I’m at work,” I tell him. “Have I ever let you down or deceived you at least once in my life? If I were you, I would go.” There was great intrigue. I arrived... to the Kazan office of STS. I made it literally at the last moment. We filled out the form, had our photo taken and sent the data to Moscow. A few days later I received an email asking me to come to the second stage of the casting in the capital. Here the project psychologists talked to us. Then they called me and informed me that I had passed the second stage, after which all I had to do was go through a medical examination and get tested. And already on August 24th was the first day of filming in Gorky Park.
The show “Weighted People” is the Russian analogue of the world famous reality project The Biggest Loser. 18 participants from all over Russia, suffering from excess weight, get a chance not only to radically change their lives by getting rid of annoying kilograms, but also to compete for 3 million rubles. Under the guidance of trainers and nutritionists, participants go through physical tests, diets and competitions. The host of the project is Yulia Kovalchuk, the trainers are Denis Seminikhin and Irina Turchinskaya.
- Didn’t it bother you that the whole country would see you?
At the start of the project, Timur weighed 148 kg. Photo: STS PR service
No, I decided that accidents in our lives are not accidental. So I arrived at the casting: there was a door in front of me. You can not open it and come to terms with your condition, or use this chance. Of course, the desire to change myself outweighed. Moreover, at that time I was in the state of another attempt to lose weight. At the start of the project, I weighed 148 kg, and back in May (2015) I weighed 164 kilograms. My son influenced me. Once he dropped the phrase: “You can’t lose weight.” These words really resonated with me. I decided to prove that I can.
- Have you always suffered from obesity?
Since childhood. One of the company was fat. As a 14-15 year old teenager, I was engaged in freestyle wrestling and even then competed in the weight category of over 83 kilograms (now, by the way, I weigh 84). Of course, there were attempts to lose weight that led nowhere. The weight went away and came back with more. Eventually I stopped trying to lose weight on my own. Since I was 27, I have been counting down my life, although it would seem that it should have been the other way around. Fatigue appeared from everything, some actions, movements. My knees and back began to hurt, and my sports injuries began to get worse. There were problems communicating with the opposite sex.
Burned bridges
- How did your family react to the fact that you would be out of life for several months?
When I realized that I would end up in the project, I quit work (I was engaged in construction), dismissed all the workers so that nothing remained that connected me with my past life. I had to sacrifice a lot, but I don’t regret anything. After the project, many people from my past life stopped communicating with me and, on the contrary, many new friends appeared. As the project psychologist told us, many people communicate with fat people and even pretend to be friends in order to assert themselves on a subconscious level at their expense. And as soon as a person changes, gets into shape, they break off the relationship.

- With whom did you have the warmest relationship on the project?
I treated everyone involved well. It takes a lot of strength to undress and show your “ugliness” to the whole of Russia, understanding that you will be cited as a bad example. This also needs to be overcome. They are all great guys, they are strong people. I treated everyone well, but I had the warmest relationship with Sasha Podolenyuk from Chelyabinsk, with Yan (Samokhvalov) at first, and at the end of the project Alena Zaretskaya greatly surprised me. This is the only person who really supported me. When I returned, I was greeted negatively, and Alena said: “You don’t deserve this.” And this explains my action, when at the pre-final weigh-in I gave her the kilogram I earned at the competition (more precisely, minus a kilogram. - Author's note).

The turning point came when the team voted against you, the captain of the blue team. The audience never understood why this happened.
There were several moments when I contrasted my opinion with the team's. When I became captain, I was forced to think not only about myself, I had a goal: I wanted to bring the main team of the blue team to individual competition. For example, I tried to study before the film crew arrived. I wanted to set an example not with words, but with actions. But apparently not everyone understood this.
- How did you build your life after you left the project and until the moment you returned?
I dropped out of the filming process, but not from the project itself. I had the opportunity to compete for the second prize (500 thousand rubles). Several times a week I talked with coach Denis Semenikhin, various training programs were selected for me. Plus I experimented with different loads myself. I read various literature, listened to coaches, talked to sports doctors. I have chosen a program for myself, adapted to my everyday life, which will allow me to exercise in such a way that I lose not muscle mass, but fat mass. I didn't know that I would return. Sport leads not only to improved physical activity, but also to improved blood supply to brain cells and improved mental health. He helps me become strong in every way.

- How did you take the news that you were returning to the project and were you disappointed by the team’s reaction?
It was a pleasant shock. They asked me: “Well, have you already unpacked your suitcases?” I assumed that I would not be welcome. Although I didn’t expect such a reaction from everyone who stayed there. Well, that gave me strength.
The team also reacted negatively to your return because you spent time at home, and they haven’t seen their families for a long time...
It’s more difficult at home; you have to artificially create conditions for yourself. There are temptations everywhere - you need to buy cottage cheese, and to do this you need to pass by the department with baked goods that smell. And after the show, all the receptors, sense of smell, sense of smell became more acute. Every time I had to control myself when driving past the same McDonald's. During the project we were physically deprived of such an opportunity. I don't think it was easier for me.
- What moments do you remember most?
Loads and moments associated with food, especially in the first two weeks. I couldn't adapt. What was my diet like at home? Bread, meat, pasta. There were no vegetables, I didn’t recognize greens, I didn’t consider zucchini and eggplants as food. And then I came to all this “straw” and it turned out that it wouldn’t work without it. There has been a shift in the concept of “normal” food.
I remember the buggy competition (the participant had to pull a car weighing more than half a ton). It was terrible; Ian was still sitting in the buggy, weighing 170 kilograms. I remember at 4-5 weeks I really wanted to talk to my family and see them.
Don't be shy!
- You received 2.5 million rubles for winning the competition, what will you spend it on?
I'm going to buy exercise equipment for myself. Now I’m working out outdoors with a group, forcing them to fight their inhibitions. I’m preparing a joint program with a fitness center; we want to launch group classes for overweight people. I want to connect my life with this, promote sports, a healthy lifestyle, and proper nutrition. 80% of fat people sit at home and don’t want to go to the gym. But you don’t need to be ashamed of mistakes or clumsy movements. You should be ashamed of your inaction.
- How has your life changed after the show? Are they being attacked on social networks?
They are attacking. A lot of people ask me: describe your diet, how much you ate and how you trained. I’ll say right away: this mode is not suitable for ordinary life. At the end of the project, we ate 600-800 calories a day, whereas in normal life breakfast should be 600 calories. But we still need to perform other functions, and all this requires energy. The body needs to be taught to convert fat into energy. And the body needs to learn for a long time to part with fat. After emergency weight loss, the problem of maintaining weight arises. The body is accustomed to bad things, and it strives back to its old weight in giant leaps. The smoother we arrive at the result, the more likely it is that the body will be able to adapt.

- After such weight loss, stretch marks and excess skin may appear. How to solve this aesthetic problem?
Well, I'm not a girl to pay attention to this. There are many different remedies, including plastic surgery. Of course, there is an aesthetic problem, but it is insignificant compared to what I experience and how I live now.
- After the victory, you continued to lose weight. Now you weigh 84 kilograms, haven’t you already lost too much weight?
After the victory, when I weighed 94 kilograms, I came home, took off my T-shirt and said to myself: “I’m not satisfied.” When I reached 85, I changed my training program and started doing more strength training to replace fat with muscle.
About life after the show
- Do you communicate with the participants after the show?
Yes, I communicate with Ian (Samokhvalov - Author's note) periodically. I have a very warm relationship with Alena Zaretskaya, and with Yasha (Yakov Povarenkin from Izhevsk), who took second place. I would like to compete with him in the final. He continues to lose weight and is also promoting a healthy lifestyle. This project simply « plowed » . Overweight people often suffer from consumerism. They cannot afford good clothes, but they can afford any food. These consumer moments are completely gone for me.
Now Timur himself teaches others the right way of life. Photo: From personal archive
- What hobbies have come into your life?
Besides “sports addiction”, I want to return to auto racing. I am drawn to extreme sports - ATVs, motorcycles. My dream is to go to Sochi and repeat the jump from 200 meters. I want bright emotions not from things, but from actions (Timur’s Instagram).

Before that, my wife and I tried to have a child for three years, and as soon as the team kicked me out of the project, we succeeded. Now we are expecting our third child (the couple has two sons, 14 and 9 years old. - Author's note). See how much things have changed?
During the project, Peter demonstrated his strong-willed character, losing 57.9 kg (initially the young man weighed 155 kg). It should be noted that Peter played sports in his youth, so heavy physical activity was not new to him.
According to him, the hardest part was in the first two weeks of the show, when he had to completely change all his habits, preferences, and daily routine. But maintaining the results after the project turned out to be quite easy:
— After the project, I became interested in CrossFit, and at a recent competition in Kaliningrad I showed 8th result among 15 people. Our plans are to undergo specialized training at a medical school to become a professional trainer,” says Peter.
Now he weighs 104 kg, but this is no longer fat, but muscle. The young man works out actively to keep himself in shape.
As for his appearance, he admits that due to sudden weight loss he was faced with sagging skin on his stomach and arms. I solved the problem with wraps and massage.
Winner of the second season - Timur Bikbulatov
The 30-year-old Kazan resident came to the show weighing 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 exclusion. Timur managed to return and prove that his opponents had good reason to fear him: in 16 weeks he lost 53.7 kg.
Upon returning to Kazan, Timur did not give up training. He devoted 3 hours to cardio and strength training, 5 days a week, and achieved a result of 92 kg. After Timur restored his muscle frame and stabilized his weight, he decided to undergo skin tightening surgery.
— I don’t understand people who refuse to lose weight, citing the fact that their stomach and chest will look ugly later. With rapid weight loss, consequences with the skin can be avoided, but even if problems appear, they are easily removable, given the high level of modern plastic surgery. Excess weight kills us, and all problems with appearance are secondary in comparison.
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, Timur now 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 had 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 by giving up training. On social networks, Alexey admitted that he wants to take charge of himself and lose those extra pounds again. He did not rule out turning 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 finishing the project. Returning home, he continued his 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.
On Saturday, August 8, the STS TV channel hosted the final of the “Weighted People” project, the participants of which shed extra pounds for several months under the gun of television cameras.
Winner of the show "Weighted People" - Petr Vasiliev
Three heroes of the program fought for the title of winner of the show: Pyotr Vasiliev from the Kaliningrad region, Vesta Romanova from St. Petersburg and Maxim Nekrylov from Nizhny Novgorod.
As the final weigh-in showed, the winner of the show and the owner of a cash prize in the amount of 2,500,000 rubles was Peter Vasiliev. He lost a total of 57.1 kg.
The cash prize was a nice wedding gift for the finalist. As Peter Vasiliev and Vesta Romanova announced, after the end of the show they decided to tie the knot.
Vesta Romanova
Maxim Nekrylov
“I still remember how difficult it was at the very beginning of the show, how my leg hurt terribly, but I didn’t show it so that the rest of the participants couldn’t take advantage of my weakness. I remember how tough it was in the last 2-3 weeks, when everyone understood that the final was close and wanted to make every effort to win. The project turned out to be very honest, only those who overcame themselves, despite pain, tears and weaknesses, became the best,” the portal “Vokrug TV” quotes. winner.
From February 17 to June 2, 2018, the STS channel showed fourth season of the show “Weighted and Happy People”. Over the course of 16 weeks, overweight participants actively lost weight in order to become the winner of the project and win the main prize - 2,500,000 rubles.

Anfisa Chekhova announced to the project participants that they would live in the mountains all week. Before leaving for a new place, they must leave one participant from each team in the Weighted and Happy house. They chose Elena Sadikova, Evgeniy Khaitkulov and Irina Cheremnykh. Whoever of these three loses the most weight by the end of the week will bring his team +1 kg at the final weigh-in. They will also earn healthy food for their team during the challenges. In the chalet where the rest of the participants arrived, a table was set with junk food and alcohol. Many succumbed to temptation. Igor Koshelev refused food and drink and went to bed. Katerina Nikitina had too much alcohol and began to attack Anna Lezhneva because of her friendship with members of another team. Anton Avduevsky and Anna Lezhneva slept in the same bed. The next day, trainers arrived at the chalet and arranged a training session without simulators. The remaining participants in the Weighted and Happy house underwent tests, Irina Cheremnykh won both. She brought the black team +2 kg at the final weigh-in. Evgeniy Khaitkulov, in turn, let the team down and brought -2 kg at the weigh-in. Anfisa Chekhova took Irina Cheremnykh to the shopping center to undergo psychological training “Monument to Oneself.” Irina had to say out loud in front of the crowd all the bad words that she had ever heard addressed to her. Final weigh-in results: red team -2.8%, blue team -2.1%, black team -3%. Katerina Nikitina used immunity to save herself. Only Evgeny Khaitkulov voted and he voted against Anna Lezhneva. Anna Lezhneva left the project.

The participants were again divided into teams of red, blue and black. On the first day, a letter from Anfisa Chekhova awaited them: they needed to pack their things in suitcases and come to the train station in Adler. Challenge of the week: each team needs to choose a person who will go home for a few days to see his family. During this time, the fitness bracelet will count your steps. The team whose member completes the most steps will win.

The snowcat rode upward and the boats found themselves in an inclined position, and the participants supported themselves and the boat by holding the rope with their hands. The task is to hold out as long as possible and not slide down. The prize for the winners is +2 kg at the weigh-in, for the losers -2 kg. The black team won, since their team had three people - Anastasia Idrisova got sick. The red team lost.

Videos from relatives caused mixed reactions from some participants, and some were left without greetings from their relatives at all.
The next day, Anfisa Chekhova took the team captains for a mini-test. They had to randomly choose bonuses and punishments for their teams. Igor Koshelev from the black team got: handcuffed one of the participants for a week (he handcuffed Christian) and a call home for 5 minutes (divided 15 seconds between all participants who have children).

Anton Avduevsky from the red team had to deprive one of the team members of training with a coach for a week (Andrei Shlyakhov agreed) and wear weights all week (Anton wore them himself).
Team training: the black team did qigong with Sergei Badyuk on Skype, the red team (except for Andrei Shlyakhov) worked out in the gym as usual - rode bikes. The blue ones talked about life and received personalized tokens from Seryoga Parkhomenko.
The last test of the week: the participants were brought to the quarries. Each team has 4 people. One stands on a rotating platform and catches sandbags, the rest throw these bags and run back and forth. The winners receive +2 kg at the weigh-in. Losers -2 kg.

It's time to determine the strongest team of the season.

Ambulances arrived to pick up the project participants. They were given 10 minutes to get ready, and then they were taken by ambulance to the forest. There, dug graves awaited them, Anfisa Chekhova in mourning and doctor Roman Fishkin. The topic of the test is the effect of excess weight on health and life expectancy. Obese people live much shorter lives. Participants were given medical records with the diagnoses they were given after examination at the beginning of the project, and their biological age was determined. Everyone was scared of their diagnoses, and some clearly realized that they would not be able to have children until they lost weight. The last person to receive a medical card was Evgeniy Vorobyov - his biological age was 62 years. Roman Fishkin suggested a method of burying him alive so that he could experience his own rebirth. The assistants brought a huge box where Evgeniy lay down, after which the rest of the participants closed the lid and took it to the dug graves. Everyone then buried their cards in the ground in the hope that by doing so they would be spared future health problems. The black team held a training session with their mentor Sergei Badyuk. The main exercise is static-dynamic squats. Sergei worked most of all with Igor Koshelev, as he promised to make him a normal conscript who would be accepted to serve. In the evening, the blue and red teams confronted the black team because of the mess they had created. After a showdown and swearing, the black team was given a two-room suite.
The next day the teams had to find new captains. The test was conducted by the winner of the second season of the show “Weighted People” Timur Bikbulatov. First, the participants who wanted to become captain had to be the first to reach two balls with the color of their team, and then, in a duel by inflating the balls, find out which of them was worthy to continue leading the team. The team captain is granted immunity, which can be spent on himself or one of the team members. Anton Avduevsky became the captain of the red team, Igor Koshelev became the captain of the black team, and Katerina Nikitina remained the captain of the blue team. In the evening, the teams trained: the red teams had a circuit training of 5 exercises, the blue teams had sumo-style wrestling in the ring.
At the end of the week, Anna Khalyavka returned to the project. The last challenge of the week is to run three laps behind the quad bike. The blue team won and earned 2 kg at the weigh-in.
At the final weigh-in, the results were as follows: blue team -2.1%, red team -2.2%, black team -1.3%. Andrey Mishkin and Irina Cheremnykh lost the least amount of weight. Team captain Igor Koshelev gave immunity to Irina. Andrey Mishkin left the project.

Sergei Badyuk took his team members to a secret base for training. He promised that he would give them nightmares. The task of the secret team is to make the most of your time to lose weight. Participants were housed in a house without central heating, with simple furnishings and outdoor amenities. After the first week of training, the black team was able to lose 5.25% of their total weight and therefore none of them left the project.
The first task of the week was announced to the red and blue teams by the project’s nutritionist Yulia Bastrigina. She showed the participants their usual diet, announced the amount of extra pounds of fat and how many calories they would need to burn to get rid of excess weight. The teams' task is to complete a daily marathon under the guidance of trainers, during which they need to burn an amount of calories equal to half of their usual daily calorie intake. The results are recorded using fitness bracelets. The winning team will receive 2 kilos lost at the weigh-in. In the red team, Elena Sadikova was excluded from the marathon so that the number of marathon participants would be the same in both teams.
The marathon of the blue team under the leadership of Sergei Parkhomenko took place in a calm and positive manner. In the evening there was a run with a total length of 16 km, the next morning exercises with weights on the seashore and another evening run, which only the female half of the team reached. The red team's marathon was psychologically intense: Natalya Lugovskikh did not spare anyone and shouted a lot at the team members. First, they worked out on machines and performed exercises on apparatus in the gym, the next morning they ran along the coast and finished the marathon dancing in a hotel room. As a result, Anna Lezhneva and Anastasia Spiridonova worked out their calories in the blue team, and in the red team all participants burned the specified number of calories, including Elena Sadikova. The red team won. All participants were also given food diaries and glucometers. The black team's training took place in a mountainous area - they passed the "evacuation of the wounded" test: in pairs on a stretcher they had to carry heavy bags up the mountain.
The second test took place in the swimming pool of the Zhemchuzhina hotel. The teams had to build a raft, swim 50 meters on it and return back, collecting bags with puzzle pieces along the way. The winner is the one who completes the puzzle first. Participants who fall into the water are excluded from the competition. The red team won - they removed 2 kg from their opponents during the weigh-in.
At the final weigh-in, the red and blue teams were in for a surprise - they were introduced to the black team of Sergei Badyuk. Weigh-in results: red lost 2.2% of their total weight, blue - 1.7%, black - 1.6%. Igor Koshelev and Elizaveta Laletina lost the least weight in a week. Most members of the black team voted against Lisa and she left the project. Anfisa Chekhova told Anna Khalyavka that her mother had died.

The project participants flew to Sochi. Right at the airport, they were waiting for a public weigh-in to fix their starting weight, and an introduction to the coaches - rapper Sergei Parkhomenko (blue team) and fitness trainer Natalya Lugovskikh. After weighing, everyone was taken to the seashore - there the first test awaited them: they had to get to the house of “Weighted and Happy” the fastest (a distance of about 2 km). The first two people choose their mentor and assemble a team at their own discretion. Only 12 people (2 teams of 6 participants each) will move into the house, the rest will leave from where they came. Katerina Nikitina was the first to come running - she chose the blue team. Andrei Volzhsky came running second, he got the red team. Once all the participants reached their destination, Katerina and Andrey made their choice. Anastasia Idrisova, Andrey Mishkin, Igor Koshelev, Irina Cheremnykh, Christian Bodrov and Elizaveta Laletina left the project. However, on the way home, these participants were picked up by a Kamaz truck with Sergei Badyuk - they became members of a secret black team.
The next day, the participants had to defend the right to their personal belongings, which were taken from them before checking into the hotel. The red team's training took place in the gym. An important condition: if at least one person fails, none of the team will receive their things. Exercises: plank with ball, 30 abdominal crunches and bear walk. The blue team trained outdoors. Suitcases with things were used as equipment. It was necessary to squat 10 times in three approaches, do a pull-down of a suitcase to the chin and stand in a plank for 60 seconds with a suitcase on your back. In the end, everyone got their things back.
The second test of the week took place in the mountains. The teams had to move all-terrain snowcats weighing 14 tons over a distance of 40 meters using a cable and arm strength. The winners place an extra 3 kg on the bowl weighing the losers. The blue team won.
At the final weigh-in, the red team showed the best result - they were able to lose weight by 6%, and the blue team only by 4.6%. Katerina Nikitina and Maxim Akimov lost the least weight in the blue team. By majority vote, it was decided that the show “Weighted and Happy People” was leaving Maxim Akimov.
