Here we go again remember fat club that provoked a lot of chat here as I remember! Well celebrity fit club starts next week. Anne Widdecombe,Colleen Nolan, Rik Waller etc are taking part. I saw this on annanova -

RIK Waller has been told he must lose weight or face dying at 40.

The former Pop Idol contestant is taking part in ITV's new series of Celebrity Fit Club, and has been told he has to lose 17 stone.

He was shocked to find he weighed 31 stone when he stepped on the scales at the start of the show.

The ten-part series begins on ITV on September 27 and also features celebrities including Ann Widdecombe, Ground Force's Tommy Walsh, Coleen Nolan and Family Affairs' Nicola Duffett.

"I haven't stood on the scales for years and I didn't know how much I weighed," Rik told the Sun.

"It's been tough. I've had stops and starts, a few triumphs and a lot of tragedies.

"The first month I lost 11 pounds, the next I lost a stone but in the third my body did somersaults and I put on nine pounds.

"I had a slip-up. I can't say when, why or how but it just sneaked up on me. A bit of me has always wanted to diet for health reasons but if I'd have known what it involved I don't think I'd have been too enthusiastic. It has been difficult."

Fitness instructor Harvey Walden added: "Rik wants everything given to him on a plate. This is the one time in his life where he needs to do it for himself.

"He's been doing the wrong thing for years, that's why he's fat and unhealthy. He needs to change but I'm not holding my breath."


Yes Harvey is still pig

Soungd like compulsive viewing for me veggie, tpommy walsh surely doesn't need to lose weight, he is a big guy but certainly not fat.I saw him in a shopping centre last year and thought he was quite attractive and fit looking..........mind you i like frank skinner too hee hee.

Now there is someone who doesn't need to lose weight Frank Skinner! Did you see Will on his show?

I'll book the time right now! This will be right up my alley - academically and professionally. Is Harvey capable of making real differences in obese individuals??? We'll know by Christmas!!!

Fat Club didn't give me time to evaluate him properly. I can't decide whether he is a monster or a truly concerned individual with a certain 'style'!!! I know my customers need a bark and a bite every now and then, but I wouldn't keep them with Harvey's attitude as seen on Fat Club!!

So we'll have to have another HUGE thread to accomodate all the OMG DID YOU SEE THAT!!??? posts!

Stef - still no weight loss, but a new pair of trousers looms (size 16????)

Feature on them all in this weeks Now (how sad am I!). Ann Widdicombe doesn't half look like Boris Karloff I still think Harvey has a certain something

Whens it on?

Starts on 27 september (ITV), oh well something to watch on friday nights then eh!! I will look forward to it, I love fat friends does anyone else watch it?

I love fat friends. This week I felt like shouting at Val that although he is an escort he isn't sleeping with the women, it's just his job to take them out and make them feel special and then when she set Lauren up to go out with him on a professional basis it was hilarious.

I know I need to go get a life ...........

I'm looking forword to the Lisa Riley one of fat friends.

She was on it this weekend in the background but came across as really shy I too am looking forward to her story

I haven't yet seen Celebrity fat club as I was watching something on the other side (I think). However, I really like Fat Friends. I love Kelly! I think she is great! I alsways make sure I watch it.

It was on again last night (repeat) and I think it is on again tonight on ITV2 at 9.00pm

I think it is really good, but you notice different from when they were using the public, they were allowed to weigh in clothes not swimsuits and the camera did not pan on their wobbly bits!
Can you just imagine AW agreeing to be weighed in a swimsuit, I certainly wouldn't like to be the one to ask her hehe!

Jano

Am looking forward to this week. Think Rik finds out how much he weighs - not sure if we get let on in the secret, I wouldn't want the nation knowing how much I weigh, unless I was about 10 and a half stone that is.

I think the woman in Emmerdale looks lovely, she suits her weight. She said she has gained about 1.5 stones since joining Emmerdale, but I think she is one of these people who wouldn't suit being thin. I hope she doesn't try to lose too much

There was an interview with Colleen Nolan in the mail on sunday and it said Rik was 30 stone. I would imagine he is too cos he is very tall. I wish them all well

I thought Colleen looked fine before. Rik is tall bound to be over the 20 stone he thought.
