Oksana – second from left
The administrator of the aesthetic medicine center Oksana Leonova is 38 years old. With a height of 168 cm, she weighs 120 kg!
“I have always been a girl, as they say, in a body,” says Oksana. – After school, I made a firm decision to put myself in order and lose weight, but a future husband appeared in my life. By the way, then I weighed 65 kg, and all my friends said that I looked like the actress Elina Bystritskaya. In my first year of marriage, my weight got out of control. My husband worked as a flight attendant, came back late, and we always sat at the table together. Such a family tradition: no one eats alone. He pampered me with delicacies and never made comments about my form.
Excess weight prevents me from fulfilling all my dreams. I really want to go in for mountaineering, mountain tourism. Having once visited the Elbrus region, I was fascinated by the mountains. I tried to join several groups, but I heard a refusal due to weight. But the main thing, of course, is not this. I want to love, be loved and have a son.
I didn’t come to the Weighted People project out of nothing to do. This is a decision, suffered over the years, a conscious need to turn your life 180 degrees once and for all. Unfortunately, I cannot manage my own weight. My nutrition before the project was not correct: I either went on a rigid diet, eating only apples, kefir or cucumbers, then I threw it and began to overeat every day. I could not live without sweets, mayonnaise. I added it to literally all dishes! As a result of such “swing” undermined the metabolism. I want to study with a professional trainer, a psychologist – nothing will work without the right attitude. A well-thought-out diet is required. I am well aware that training will be long and exhausting, that I will have to give up many habits. I’m only afraid that I will not physically pull the loads (suddenly it will be too painful?). I’m afraid – but I don’t give up on my plans! “

A team of losing weight is fighting for the main prize of 3 million rubles
“Before, I watched on TV an analogue of“ Weighted People ”in Ukraine. And I liked the project so much! Everything that happened to the participants was motivating, because they were of different ages. I understood: the right life can be started at any age. Therefore, when I found out that the project was being launched in Russia, I immediately submitted an application by e-mail. The answer that you need to be at the casting in Moscow on May 3, I saw on May 2 late in the evening! I dropped everything, rushed to the airport, bought a ticket for the next flight to Moscow – and was in the capital in the morning! But I didn’t know where to go. It turns out that you had to answer the letter to get contacts for the casting. I found the address of STS on the Internet, but when I arrived there, I found that it was an old address. Then I found a new address, rushed there. At the checkpoint they asked me for my last name. I answer: “Leonova”. It turns out that a pass was issued for some of my namesake, I considered it just a gift of fate! But it turned out that there was no casting here either. Instead, I “got” to a meeting of directors. But fortunately, I was welcomed, they explained how to get to the casting. And everything worked out! The main thing is purposefulness!
For the sake of winning the project, I’m ready for anything! If necessary, I will jump with a parachute, climb the rope ladder, swim, jump over anything! Only now it’s hard for me to run. The hardest part will be giving up sweets and, of course, my favorite mayonnaise. But I am determined and will not give up the dream of becoming slim and attractive! “
