    That is a seriously impressive weight loss.

    It is, but as Aoife pointed out maybe 3-4 lbs of it is fat loss at best, and the rest probably water, reduced food volume/weight in his system, and muscle loss. On the Ray Darcy show a couple of them mentioned having a last supper the night before weigh in - he could have easily been bloated, carrying excess water and food from the previous 12--24 hours before his first weigh in, and now has a lot less food volume in his system too.

    Not trying to take away from him in any way, he obviously worked very hard, but I hope he is not disappointed if he only loses 2-3 lbs next week or some week, which would still be fantastic weight loss - and as Aoife also said, you don't want people at home to be expecting similar or to be disappointed with "only" a loss of a couple of pounds

    I've always been a massive fan of the show. I don't really know how I feel about this years leaders. There are a lot of sob stories that are obviously very sad, but not really needed for the show.

    Yep - total misery porn - RTE's usual spiel.

    No point in fat/forty-something/happy old me applying to go on the show. My life just ain't miserable enough. ;)

    Fair play to the Guard, he did what he was asked to do and lost the weight without getting teary eyed.

    You'd swear Felicity was being asked to emigrate overseas to do her exercise the way she was going on about missing her kid, it's only for a bloody hour or so a day and the blonde on on the panel was nearly as bad blubbering as well.

    You're a bit slow off the mark, please keep up.

    Haven't warmed to any of the leaders yet so far. I had recorded this week's episodes and watched them back last night, I felt I just glossed over it. I'm finding it hard to get into it this year.

    A friend of mine was on this about 3 or 4 years ago and he had a big sob story about the reasons he had put on weight. He did really well on the show and lost loads of weight and has kept fit to this day. But let me tell you, the sob story was COMPLETELY untrue. Made up. 100%. Lies. Call it what you will.

    Confirmed by his father in law to me, he was saying he was shocked watching it because of the lies. He was fat because he eat cakes and takeaways and drank fizzy drinks and didn't exercise.

    Mary has a great attitude, no tantrums and tears unlike the first person who was on tonight.

    It's a fetus, not a baby :-)

    Yup.

    It's painful. She seems a bit fake imo. Himself is engrossed in it here.

    I'll probably be eaten alive ( lotto calories to be consumed) for saying this but I'm gonna say it.

    I'm watching.
    I think they're all brilliant.

    We have a huge problem with obesity in this country and it's easier for people to buy a size bigger than to change bad habits.

    Fair play to everyone, I'd say it's easily the most successful OT to date. They all have done so well and are so positive.

    And Kathryn looks fab and healthy!
    She's an advertisement for how a pregnant woman should look-glowing.

    I thought the contestants this year were great.
    There's no doubting the positive impact the show has had on them after the catwalk episode.
