The winners of "Weighted and happy" -8 weight loss became the team of Blue – Natalya and Alexander Valigursky. Mother and son lost weight with the project for 15 weeks, but gave up and continued their workout at home. Already at the end of the family arrived in top form and became the best among others who fought for victory in home-made weight loss. What secrets of life in the slimming camp and out of the winner were shared – read in an exclusive interview for STB.UA.

First, we congratulate you on winning the local weightlifting "Weighted and Happy" -8! How to dare to participate in the most important project of the country?

Sasha: I did not watch TV, but my best friend is a fan of the "Weighted and happy" project. At the end of the 7th season and at the beginning of the last broadcasters, announcements concerning the recruitment of the new season appeared more and more frequently. Of course, she started to push me to recommend me to participate with my mother because it is a couple of parents and children. I really did not care, so she filled out the questionnaire. And then he sent me and said, "Finish it to the end." Well, I think we'll try. In three days, I was called and invited to the casting.

Natalia: I have supported my son. I support and support all this. Well, my friends in Sasha are beautiful. They also encouraged him to participate in the project. No bad word like "Why is it for you?" Try it yourself! "

Remember the first week of the weight loss camp, when my mother's weight was greater than 100 pounds and that of the son of about 200 pounds

Sasha: Oh! C & Was a terrible thing! I even remember how I got out of the STB, and I got up to smoke at the last minute (laugh – ed.) . they take me out, they are taken to the field, where there is no soul, and they say, "Run 10 kilometers one to the other!"

Natalya: Ten kilometers away, it scared us that it was not so much now, but then … We did not expect such tests to wait for us in the first week. probably the most difficult because we did not have any physical training, it was emotionally difficult, it is the test of our relationship, our trust and our support. A test has asked us to support each other somewhere and give total autonomy somewhere.

Sasha: We remembered another marathon when we had to tell ourselves the truth. Then, a wooden beam in hand, they were 25 kilometers away, so they had time to talk (laughs – ed.) .

How do you eat now? After all, you no longer depend on coaches, nutritionists and diet.

Sasha: We are used to eating well. The feelings are absolutely normal. As some smart people have said, this is because the taste buds are listening. Therefore, food that was previously unsalted, unsweetened and generally tasteless – is now delicious. Although I remember the beginning of the project, I dreamed of shawarma, fried potatoes and borsch. Well, bortsch still dreams, but borscht – it's borsch (smiles – ed.) . But I do not want those big pistachios!

Natalya: I'm getting ready now. Therefore, I choose the products we learned at the camp to lose weight. The way of cooking and the ingredients have changed. Tasty everything that is useful and does not harm the figure.

When did he begin to feel and see you lose weight?

Sasha: If it was so that at one point he woke up and saw -100 pounds, then he would have noticed, of course (laughs – ed. Note) . But you saw how we lost weight. Gradually, then -5, then -3, then generally -1. For a long time, we did not have the impression of losing weight. But when I started measuring old things, I saw some changes. Previously, I wore six "X" and now one. By the time I lost 40 pounds and looked in the mirror, it seemed like I did not change at all.

What did they do when they returned home?

Natalya: We were afraid to start eating (smiles.) – [eds] .

Sasha: and just because we were afraid of gaining weight, I took 20 pounds (laugh – Ed.) . Imagine, we spent 15 weeks on the project, came back and I petted. All this because I decided to eat only watermelons (laugh – Ed.) . So, officially, I do not advise anyone to follow a diet based on watermelon! It seems that only water, but with a high fructose content. So I sat on the watermelons, thinking, why should I be weighed – I certainly do not compose (laughs – ed. Note) ! Of course, I dropped them.

How do you train now? Are you going to the gym?

Sasha: Yes, of course, I go to the gym. But I tried them so much. I can already collect tickets. I train myself because I have such a character that I'm getting used to a coach. Everything else is not authoritative for me. I only listen to Uzelkov, he always supports me. It was he who helped me to eat. In addition, he made the necessary diet in two words: less to eat (laughs – ed.)

It is true that Vyacheslav Uzelkov could come to camp to lose weight at night and bring you to train? 19659004] Natalya: Yes, there was such a thing. I remember we came back from the evening training and we go to bed. We hear that the car rolled into the yard and that Slavik "steals" a few minutes later and takes us to training. We trained until the fourth morning. But it is effective and efficient.

How did your relationship with the Yellow team follow the project?

Sasha: We are talking. With Natalia agreed to stay friends. This was decided by ourselves when we met after the project. For the moment, I'm more in touch with Lyudmila Motika. At the project, I had an excellent relationship with all of us. Maybe during competitions the spirit of rivalry woke up, so it seemed like we were outraged by the enemies. But in fact everything is fine, we are friends. And now, it's even better, because we do not have more weight loss winners at home, there are more rivals (laughs – ed.) [19659012]!
