    Killian Byrne is one. He got into the running and got his family in on it too. He write a column for the Irish Runner magazine.
    Also David Cryan, I think he got involved in parkrun.

    I don't think it's the type of reality show where you would make money after with a sponsorship deal, nor are the participants the type looking for fame. I think the vast majority of participants have faded into the background after.

    I don't think Killian is a great advertisement despite what his twitter would have you belive.
    His strava is comical, an example of not practicing what he preaches.

    Struggles to run a couple of miles and still obese.

    Gregg Starr is another, still well overweight.

    And they are the ones who courted the media claiming to be advocates for the new lifestyle they embraced.
    I'd hate to see some of the others...

    It's not really a reality show. It's more of a health/fitness/makeover programme. It's only in the reality TV forum because we don't have a forum for lifestyle programming. Love Island, Ex on the Beach etc would be reality shows.

    Oh yes, I forgot to add that.
    Irish Runner magazine and Elverys are sending this gangster running shoes and equipment every month to "review".
    Hence the couple of miles here and there just so if anyone shows up at the door the shoes don't look like they were just taken out of the box. :pac:

    Eddie is the only impressive mentor there. The others are all useless.

    I will never forget some years ago, seeing Eddie in the local Tesco with a young child, who was having an unmerciful temper tantrum.
    I'm talking screeching here.

    Eddie was as cool as a breeze. And it soon stopped.
    Fair play.

    I find the backstory far more interesting than the weigh in.

    Like seeing Shane's father last week.

    They all have deeper issues...the extra weight is only what we see on the surface. Most of them need a lot more help than this program can offer

    That's what I was thinking too. That woman (who seems very nice) has a bit of weight to lose alright but it seems she has other issues that need addressing first and foremost. I suppose that's what they screen potential candidates for, just to ramp up the drama and emotion.

    Lorraine's running lacked any intensity in the clips shown. Like a 70 year old rather than someone in their 40s.

    Why is that PT dude wearing shorts inside the studio. Is it so that we all know he's a PT?

    Well it wasn't what way they were tied but how you go about it. And I found it an interesting gauge for muscle loss/lack of balance.

    Same with how you sit down last week.

    It's easy make a one liner about it.

    When you're trying to lose weight, do something that's sustainable longterm, that includes heading out. The girl lost weight and had a few drinks, where's the problem? Ridiculous stuff from those 'experts'.

    For **** sake she had a cheat night and still lost weight and they are giving out. If you don’t have a cheat meal every few weeks you will very quickly fall off the wagon .. Eddie is spot on with this she needed a nights break. She didn’t exactly go mad and did extra work to compensate.
    I would at this stage question how good or knowledgeable that nutritionist is ..
