:00:25. > :00:29.Four men, four very different shapes and sizes. But one abiding

:00:29. > :00:32.hatred, their bodies. I feel like I'm being compared to

:00:32. > :00:37.the people in the magazines. I think that's what people want.

:00:37. > :00:43.You are a freak, you get stairs and the whist pering behind your back -

:00:43. > :00:48.- stares and the whispering behind your back. I'm shunned by society.

:00:48. > :00:54.80% of British men hate the way they look, as they pursue their

:00:54. > :00:58.ideal shape, they are splashing out more than a billion on gyms and

:00:59. > :01:04.health supplements. Now with expert help. I don't think my cuff will

:01:04. > :01:07.fit around your arm. Two skinny blokes and two pumped up body

:01:07. > :01:12.builders want to transform themselves in just 12 weeks.

:01:12. > :01:15.Temptation is all over the place, it is not easy to give up by any

:01:15. > :01:21.means, nobody can understand unless you have done it. A gym is a gym,

:01:21. > :01:27.you are going to get fit, not show off. It is a regime of no pain, no

:01:27. > :01:34.gain. I'm going to be sick. (reching)

:01:34. > :01:40.Hard facts. It is also known as man boobs. And uncomfortable truths.

:01:40. > :01:45.need him to up his game and show me what he wants from life. Can they

:01:45. > :01:49.achieve the perfect physique in 12 weeks. Let's cut the bullshit, if

:01:49. > :01:54.we miss a session, he will tell me and I will come back down here.

:01:54. > :01:59.What will they learn about themselves outside and in. He envys

:01:59. > :02:05.minusles and outside, if I could find someone to swap this with, I

:02:05. > :02:10.would do it in a heart beat. Four men have come to London on a

:02:10. > :02:18.mission. To try to achieve the body of their

:02:18. > :02:24.dreams in just 12-weeks. Two are bulging body builders.

:02:24. > :02:26.Two are skin and bone. Before they can start their rapid

:02:26. > :02:30.transformation, they need to have their health and fitness checked

:02:30. > :02:40.out. Right, I don't think my cuff is

:02:40. > :02:44.going to fit round your arm. Just pop yourself on the couch for

:02:44. > :02:51.In charge of their well being is elite sports doctor, Kay Brennan,

:02:51. > :02:58.who has come fresh from looking after Team GB's Olympic winners.

:02:58. > :03:01.These guys will have to adopt almost that elite athlete mentality.

:03:01. > :03:08.They will have to be focused and driven, and take knocks on the chin

:03:09. > :03:17.and get up the next day and carry on. Fitness guru, Mark Anthony, who

:03:17. > :03:23.has worked with Jordan, and the stars of TOWIE, will be creating

:03:23. > :03:26.mens' personal training programmes. I hope all the guys will be

:03:27. > :03:36.motivated and do whatever they can to achieve the goals.

:03:36. > :03:42.If they want to do it, they want to make a commitment and go for it.

:03:43. > :03:47.At six foot two t and weighing nearly 17-stone, Bristol-based body

:03:47. > :03:52.builder, Scott Francis, has spent the last decade pumping iron. He

:03:52. > :03:55.now has a massive 45-inch chest, and 18-inch biceps. When you are

:03:55. > :04:00.pushing heavyweights the feeling going through your head is a nice

:04:01. > :04:05.panic. Drive, go, come on Scott. You can

:04:05. > :04:10.feel the weights tearing at your limbs, joints and muscles. Yeah,

:04:10. > :04:14.mate, that is what I'm talking about, the last few. You really

:04:14. > :04:20.feel excited, you only finish when you really finish, that is the kind

:04:20. > :04:24.of mentality you need lifting weight. For 30-year-old entrepeneur

:04:24. > :04:30.Scott, keeping a big frame means eating big meals. There is

:04:30. > :04:35.breakfast, cereal, banana, six bacon, ten eggs, two toast, four

:04:35. > :04:40.sasauges, milk. Perfect breakfast for me. It is not just breakfast,

:04:40. > :04:45.he has six full meals daily, and has eaten 15,000 calories in a

:04:45. > :04:51.single day, six-times the recommended average. If I don't eat

:04:51. > :04:57.regularly I get terrible sickness, nausea, dizziness, it is nearly

:04:57. > :05:00.linked to diabetes, it is closely linked. The pursuit of the body

:05:00. > :05:04.beautiful has other unexpected side-effects. You are hot all the

:05:04. > :05:08.time. In the middle of the night I get shortness of breath. Your heart

:05:08. > :05:12.has almost a palpitation, it beats so hard all day, you wake yourself

:05:12. > :05:18.up. Scott's passion for the gym led to him taking part in competitive

:05:18. > :05:22.body building. He was a lovely little boy. But his

:05:22. > :05:30.physique has been hard for his mum to accept.

:05:30. > :05:39.That is not my son. To me, it looks like one of his Transformers that

:05:39. > :05:46.he had when I was little. This is what I don't like to look at.

:05:46. > :05:51.Scott's now a parent himself. Ska # I got muscles.

:05:51. > :05:57.Uhhh. He sees three-year-old Olivia several times a week, although he's

:05:57. > :06:05.no longer with her mum. You're fast!

:06:06. > :06:09.Too fast for me! I love kids, I love to do the other fathers do,

:06:09. > :06:13.run around all day, it would be nice to have that level of fitness.

:06:13. > :06:17.I feel bad sometimes when she has run up and down the hill and I have

:06:17. > :06:22.to say, hang on a minute, daddy is out of breath. Or daddy, I would

:06:22. > :06:26.love to be fitter than her. I want to do more now, if shedding

:06:26. > :06:31.some muscle and bulk is the only way I can be more productive in my

:06:32. > :06:38.daughter's life, that is what I have to do. While Scott wants to

:06:38. > :06:42.shrink down his Hulking frame, at only half his weight, eight-and-a-

:06:42. > :06:51.half stone Nick Sinnitt is desperate to beef up. After a year-

:06:51. > :06:54.and-a-half trying to bulk up on his own, student Nick, only has a 28-

:06:55. > :07:01.inch waist. If I could change now, starting from the bottom, I would

:07:01. > :07:04.tone up the abs, have the normal six pack, broaden my chest, and

:07:04. > :07:08.make it more toned. It is not at the moment, it is narrow. And

:07:08. > :07:14.broaden my shoulders and it makes you look bigger in every way, and

:07:14. > :07:19.arms being a bit bigger. When not at uni, 20-year-old Nick lives in

:07:19. > :07:23.Devon with his parents. He's so worried about how he looks

:07:23. > :07:27.all the time. Not all the time. even get dress today take the dog

:07:27. > :07:34.out for a walk, just in case he comes across someone he knows. You

:07:34. > :07:41.dress really well, just seems to me a little bit effeminate! He even

:07:41. > :07:45.borrows my jeans sometimes! I see these people in the magazines with

:07:45. > :07:48.the good bodies, I see that's what the girls want. I feel like I'm

:07:49. > :07:53.being compared to the people in the magazines, and I think that's what

:07:53. > :08:02.people want. So when they see me, they will be like, that looks

:08:02. > :08:08.pretty shit. I feel less manly than my bigger

:08:09. > :08:18.friends having a smaller frame. They are all big, muscley guys.

:08:19. > :08:24.

:08:24. > :08:34.13.8! 12.5! I have got quite a few friends who are into the whole

:08:34. > :08:34.

:08:34. > :08:39.rugby thing. I need to be a lot more drunk to be doing that. Don't

:08:39. > :08:44.be shy. He gets a lot of attention, but he doesn't have the confidence

:08:44. > :08:50.to return it. He sats at the bar. His size stops him being the person

:08:50. > :08:53.I know he can be. All four men will follow a strict

:08:53. > :08:57.diet and workout programme, designed to change their bodies in

:08:57. > :09:07.a safe way. But first the experts need to see what their muscles can

:09:07. > :09:10.

:09:10. > :09:15.cope with. About to have a body fat test is

:09:15. > :09:19.21-year-old, call centre worker, Matt Morley. Your body fat is

:09:19. > :09:23.really low. Is it really? Have you ever had it done before? No, I

:09:23. > :09:30.don't think so. It is really low, at the moment it is 4.5%. What

:09:30. > :09:34.should it be? Between 12-18%. As a healthy range.

:09:34. > :09:41.Despite being nearly six feet tall, Matt weighs in at just nine-and-a-

:09:41. > :09:46.half stone. With a 30-inch waist and ten-and-a-half-inch biceps.

:09:46. > :09:51.would describe myself as very slim, and to myself, a bit of an

:09:51. > :09:55.embarrassment. Although Norfolk boy Matt has a stick-thin body, it

:09:55. > :09:58.hasn't held him back with the ladies. He's living with his

:09:59. > :10:03.glamour model girlfriend, Carley. There is blatantly a lot better

:10:03. > :10:07.people out there than me. The one day she may find one of them and

:10:07. > :10:12.not bother coming home. He says walking around with me makes him

:10:12. > :10:17.feel more insecure, because people are looking at him thinking he's

:10:17. > :10:23.not very muscley, and skiny. He wants to be the man that holds girl

:10:23. > :10:25.on his arm all strong, and be able to pick me up and carry me around,

:10:26. > :10:35.that kind of thing. I don't think he should be under pressure because

:10:36. > :10:36.

:10:36. > :10:40.I like him just the way he is. Are you going swimming. Are you

:10:40. > :10:45.coming in? Not today. When not at work, all of their time is spent

:10:45. > :10:49.looking after their one-year-old daughter, Alana.

:10:49. > :10:52.I'm not too keen on going swimming, when I take off my top I'm little,

:10:52. > :11:02.there is nothing much to me, everybody else swimming there is

:11:02. > :11:03.

:11:03. > :11:06.something to them. I would be a bit wary about that one. It has caused

:11:06. > :11:12.a lot of arguments about me not spending enough time with her at

:11:12. > :11:18.the pool. I want to turn it all around and start again.

:11:18. > :11:26.Matt may dream of transforming his ten-inch biceps into 16-inch guns.

:11:26. > :11:33.That is a reality for Londoner Martin Sankah.

:11:33. > :11:38.Three years ago I weighed eight stone, approximately, 55kgs. You

:11:38. > :11:42.could see my cheekbones back then, and I had a neck. When I was eight

:11:42. > :11:45.stone there was an occasion when I'm walking in the town with my

:11:45. > :11:52.girlfriend, and a guy whistles, right in front of my face, couldn't

:11:52. > :11:59.do nothing about it, because of my size, couldn't say nothing.

:12:00. > :12:06.He started lifting weights, doubled his size, but lost his better half.

:12:06. > :12:11.However, he didn't lose his love for body building.

:12:11. > :12:16.If he's not in the gym, 15-stone Martin is preparing and eating

:12:16. > :12:23.meals. On a typical day he eats six full meals, including seven eggs,

:12:23. > :12:28.half a kilo of oats, one kilo of potatoes and more than a kilo of

:12:28. > :12:35.meat. Totalling a whopping 7,000 calories. Sometimes eating really

:12:35. > :12:40.does drag on, I get bothered and things like that. I just -- bored,

:12:40. > :12:43.things like that, I think why should I do this, then when I get

:12:43. > :12:47.to the gym it becomes so clear. It makes me think back to when I was

:12:47. > :12:53.eight stone, those guys that used to whistle, I will chuck you in the

:12:53. > :12:57.sky and leave you there, kind of thing. Martin now has a new

:12:57. > :13:01.girlfriend, Janie, but it wasn't his bulky body that won her over.

:13:01. > :13:07.When I was in university, did you prefer the way I looked then?

:13:07. > :13:12.you looked normal. What now, abnormal? No, just not right.

:13:12. > :13:17.love me regardless? No. All right. When you have had years and years

:13:17. > :13:22.of building up, it is so hard to just shift it at once, you have to

:13:22. > :13:26.be motivated. Nightclub bouncer Martin also needs a ripped body to

:13:27. > :13:31.start a new career. My dreams of becoming a personal trainer all

:13:31. > :13:37.began two years a I felt I could train people to achieve their

:13:37. > :13:40.fitness goals. I'm happeny with the strength department but not the way

:13:40. > :13:44.I look. I have to have the best of both worlds, I have to have the

:13:44. > :13:47.strength that being a big guy brings, and that definition and

:13:47. > :13:50.tone and speed that the small guy brings. They are both inside me,

:13:50. > :13:55.they just need to talk to each other, and have a better

:13:55. > :14:00.relationship with each other. To find out what's going on inside

:14:00. > :14:05.the mens' bodies, the final part of the assessment is an MRI scan.

:14:05. > :14:10.area here, this is right at the bottom of your back around this

:14:11. > :14:15.area here. They are also known as the muffin top. These are areas

:14:15. > :14:21.where fat is naturally stored in everybody, have you heard of muffin

:14:21. > :14:26.tops. No, I'm surprised to have them. These are your pec muscles

:14:26. > :14:31.here, these are almost abnormally large. For man of your size, and

:14:31. > :14:40.your build. But overlying those pecs as well is quite a thick layer

:14:40. > :14:43.of fat. So, what is also known as man boobs.

:14:43. > :14:47.It's the start of the 12-week plan, and the lads have just found out

:14:47. > :14:51.what they will need to do to achieve their dream bodies. It will

:14:51. > :14:58.be up to them to stick to their diet and exercise plans, but there

:14:58. > :15:02.will be help and support on hand if they need it, and regular check-ups.

:15:02. > :15:07.Steak for breakfast, that can't be right. Yeah, steak for breakfast on

:15:07. > :15:11.Monday, wow. To grow new muscle, Nick will have

:15:11. > :15:16.to provide his body with a constant supply of protein, that means

:15:16. > :15:19.eating six-times a day. I have never eaten that much food in a day

:15:19. > :15:25.really. This will be pretty hard trying to cram it all in, I will be

:15:25. > :15:31.eating every hour, pretty much. It seems like so much food. I'm happy

:15:31. > :15:35.to do it. My only worry is, that with only doing around an hour of

:15:35. > :15:39.gyming a day, will this put on weight in the right way, or will it

:15:39. > :15:45.just make me a little bit fat. Whilst the skinny boys have been

:15:45. > :15:50.set the target of gaining one-and- a-half stone of pure muscle. The

:15:50. > :16:00.body builders are starting their new light-weight workout, with the

:16:00. > :16:01.

:16:01. > :16:08.aim of reducing their bulk by 2-3 stone. Six-kg dumbbells, I'm

:16:08. > :16:14.normally 28kg, what am I doing here. Small weights may define the

:16:14. > :16:17.muscles, but are less likely to impress. Fab club, no? Not any more,

:16:18. > :16:21.if I was doing that with 30s maybe different, my fan club, you have to

:16:21. > :16:24.start somewhere. I don't think it will be easy for

:16:24. > :16:28.Martin to forget about the big weights. He will go to the gym

:16:28. > :16:34.looking to show off, making sure everyone can see how much he can

:16:34. > :16:39.lift. Martin may be missing his 28- kilo dumbbells. But in Norfolk,

:16:39. > :16:44.Matt is struggling to bench-press 20 kilos, using both arms. This is

:16:44. > :16:54.where it starts to get hard. ensure he doesn't injure himself,

:16:54. > :16:55.

:16:55. > :16:59.Matt's initially training for only an hour, every other day. That's it,

:16:59. > :17:06.heels up behind you, as low as you can. Extending the arms out, that

:17:06. > :17:16.is good. Bloody hell. We have four so far.

:17:16. > :17:22.

:17:22. > :17:26.How are you feeling now? Dead! Whilst Matt wants to bulk up,

:17:26. > :17:29.girlfriend Carley is hoping for other changes. Alana is nearly 14

:17:29. > :17:34.months, and we have one photo, one photo of all three of us. If I do

:17:34. > :17:39.manage to get a photo it gets deleted. Yep. Doesn't it? Normally

:17:39. > :17:42.because they are awful. They are not. They are awful. They are

:17:42. > :17:46.natural pictures of you and your daughter. They are absolutely awful.

:17:46. > :17:50.It is sad that she will never be this small ever again, and it would

:17:50. > :17:54.have been nice to have you here, and holding our little baby for the

:17:54. > :18:00.first time for her first photos rather than just me and Alana.

:18:00. > :18:03.know. I just don't like pictures. So, obviously, after a little while

:18:03. > :18:05.maybe I will probably improve, and get more confidence back, at the

:18:05. > :18:13.moment it is just, no. This is moment it is just, no. This is

:18:14. > :18:22.probably the worst picture.. The first time I ever saw her, I'm in a

:18:22. > :18:27.T-shirt saying "doggy-style". just had a baby, he rocks up two

:18:27. > :18:31.hours late, wearing that T-shirt. Probably not the best start!

:18:31. > :18:36.this first stage of training, the most crucial element for all four

:18:36. > :18:41.lads is diet. The skinny boys' bodies are

:18:41. > :18:48.adjusting to double the calories. Working out rips apart the muscle,

:18:48. > :18:52.causing more cells to grow back. Eating provides the fuel.

:18:52. > :19:01.The musclemen were starving their muscles, causing them to shrink.

:19:01. > :19:05.The low-weight workout speeds this process up by burning calories.

:19:05. > :19:08.To support a motivate each other, the experts have suggested that the

:19:08. > :19:13.men regularly meet and train together.

:19:13. > :19:23.15-stone bouncer Martin has come to Devon, to work out with eight-and-

:19:23. > :19:28.a-half stone student Nick. Hello, man, how are you doing.

:19:28. > :19:38.Nick's local gym is a shrine to body building. Look at the size of

:19:38. > :19:38.

:19:38. > :19:43.this fucking guy, man. To bulk down Martin needs to stick

:19:43. > :19:51.to small weights and resist the urge to show off. How much is that

:19:51. > :19:57.you are doing? 30kg. Are you meant to be doing that high? That light?

:19:57. > :20:00.It is 15 reps. That is pretty much what I bench.

:20:00. > :20:05.He's not sticking to what he has been asked to do. If you are going

:20:05. > :20:10.to do something like this, there is no point in just going back into

:20:10. > :20:15.your old ways, I guess. But I think it might be the environment he's in,

:20:15. > :20:21.he doesn't want to push low weights because pushing high weights

:20:21. > :20:27.validates his masculinety. For me it doesn't really bother me.

:20:27. > :20:31.My bar, coming up! His confidence seems to stem from the fact he

:20:31. > :20:36.works out. I don't really like people like that, because it's just

:20:36. > :20:39.like their whole life is working out, their happiness comes from

:20:39. > :20:46.that. I'm not doing it for those reasons.

:20:46. > :20:54.That's what I miss over there, fuck me, I'll show them all something.

:20:54. > :20:58.What would you want to show them? What I can do.

:20:58. > :21:02.See that's why temptation is all over the place, it is not easy to

:21:02. > :21:06.give up by any means, nobody can understand unless you have done it,

:21:06. > :21:11.give up one rep max, and start doing 15 rep, it is not as easy as

:21:11. > :21:15.it looks, especially in a new gym environment. Martin's desire to

:21:15. > :21:20.work out has had a big effect on his lifestyle, and played a part in

:21:20. > :21:25.a break-up with an ex. I was in a four-year relationship, she has

:21:25. > :21:29.seen my entire process of going from eight stone then to ten stone,

:21:29. > :21:34.then to 12 stone, which was probably my favourite weight. I

:21:34. > :21:37.just was never satisfied. I just became 16-stone all of a sudden, I

:21:37. > :21:41.don't know what the hell happened. But it was like, you know, you are

:21:41. > :21:48.not spending any time with me, your priorities are somewhere else, and

:21:48. > :21:54.that was it. My wife became a dumbbell! Can I try and lift that

:21:54. > :22:04.and see how heavy it is. It is pretty heavy, actually.

:22:04. > :22:08.No, too heavy for me. Still determined to pump up is

:22:08. > :22:12.nine-and-a-half stone Matt. He's come to Bristol to train alongside

:22:12. > :22:19.former body builder Scott. Hello. Good morning.

:22:19. > :22:25.Come in. I like the place, mate, I'm jealous.

:22:25. > :22:33.Very jealous. How are you finding the training? I did miss a couple

:22:33. > :22:38.due to slack work. I would start at 11.00am and finish at 8.00pm, I

:22:38. > :22:43.should have gone in the morning. Rome wasn't built in day, 99% of

:22:43. > :22:46.people who don't stay consistent won't change. It is that

:22:46. > :22:49.consistency. Welcome to Scott's world. This is where the big boys

:22:49. > :22:53.come to lift big weights. Do you think people will be thinking as

:22:53. > :22:56.you walk out? God knows, I don't want to think about what they are

:22:56. > :23:06.thinking, probably, what the hell is he doing here, little man, shit

:23:06. > :23:14.

:23:14. > :23:17.like that! Now what do I do? all the weight on your heels, so

:23:18. > :23:25.you are not leaning forward, you are sunk back into it, drop the

:23:25. > :23:33.body weight backwards, so you are in a squat position, drive up.

:23:33. > :23:38.Back nice and straight Me lifting 30 with him next to me, made me

:23:38. > :23:44.feel like an idiot. All the boys in here are 20-times the size of me,

:23:44. > :23:52.everyone has to start somewhere. Carvery across the road, three days

:23:52. > :23:59.a week they do unlimited breakfast for �3.49. It is not just the

:23:59. > :24:08.weights, Matt has to get used to eating like a body builder.

:24:08. > :24:13.cheesebugers and eggs, please. meals are strictly off the menu for

:24:13. > :24:19.Scott. The slim breakfast without the cashes. See all the things I

:24:19. > :24:23.can't eat. Everything on that counter. Conversation turns to the

:24:23. > :24:27.other half during breakfast? missus is doing veryle well, she's

:24:27. > :24:32.in The Sportswriter, and a couple of people from Playboy have got in

:24:32. > :24:38.touch with her to go for an interview. What do you think about

:24:38. > :24:42.Carley modelling? I don't like her doing it, it fucks me off watching

:24:42. > :24:49.another bloke taking pictures of my missus topless. It is like being on

:24:49. > :24:54.a beach, what he sees in the newspaper is on the street. The

:24:54. > :24:57.thing you have to get in your head, when you get your physical body

:24:57. > :25:03.right, she goes home every night with you. It is a security issue.

:25:03. > :25:08.After a month of training, all of the men have received the second

:25:08. > :25:12.stage of their diet and exercise plans. Nick and Matt are being

:25:12. > :25:17.asked to consume 6,500 calories a day, while Scott and Martin have

:25:17. > :25:24.had their food intake cut to around 2,500 calories.

:25:24. > :25:28.All of the men are being asked to work even harder in the gym. More,

:25:28. > :25:32.more, rest. But Mark Anthony has become concerned about Martin's

:25:32. > :25:36.cheating. You know, if he wants that trim line athletic look, then

:25:37. > :25:41.he has to believe in the programme that I have set him, because this

:25:41. > :25:44.programme will really shift a lot of body fat, it will shift body fat

:25:44. > :25:47.fast. We take him out of the environment he's in, put him in a

:25:48. > :25:54.gym where he's actually the biggest, I think that's going to really

:25:54. > :26:00.shake him up. To help him reach his target of losing two stone, Mark

:26:00. > :26:04.has arranged for Martin to train at a very different type of gym.

:26:04. > :26:09.Jason. Martin. Breathe out as you are coming up, how are you feeling.

:26:09. > :26:14.Nice and easy. It is a bit quiet in here, it is

:26:14. > :26:20.bloody quiet. Where is all the testosterone here, God knows. I

:26:20. > :26:26.haven't got it any more. I saw a guy wearing a pair of jeans,

:26:26. > :26:32.shit, there should be a policy, you know. The gyms that I have been so,

:26:32. > :26:35.Jesus Christ, dumbbells going up to 80kg, people dead-lifting weight

:26:35. > :26:43.that humanely not be possible. I come in here today, people playing

:26:43. > :26:48.with their phones. So, fuck, man. How are you doing. After his

:26:48. > :26:55.workout, Martin has a date with girlfriend Janie. Are you OK? What

:26:55. > :26:59.have you been doing? Training. Check out.

:26:59. > :27:03.Oh please. No? How was everything today?

:27:03. > :27:07.is no noise, nobody doing nothing. It is good, it makes you

:27:07. > :27:11.concentrate. I was concentrating on the quietness, that is what you

:27:11. > :27:15.don't understand. Put headphones in. I have to listen to Jason. A gym is

:27:15. > :27:19.a gym. It has weights, that is why you go there. You will never

:27:19. > :27:23.understand. I will, I used to go to the gym, I like going to gyms that

:27:23. > :27:27.are quiet. You are not dead-lifting, and clean and pressing weights

:27:27. > :27:31.above your head. It doesn't matter, a gym is a gym, if you are going to

:27:31. > :27:34.use a tread mill or weights, gym is a gym, you are going through to get

:27:34. > :27:39.fit, not show off and start dancing and showing off your muscles to

:27:39. > :27:42.other people, like some sad person. What these! We are not in primary

:27:42. > :27:50.school any more. I don't know, you are too rude to me. Why? Because

:27:50. > :27:54.you are. You have no manners whatsoever.

:27:54. > :28:04.Whilst Martin is struggling to keep to his plan, Scott is giving his

:28:04. > :28:32.

:28:32. > :28:38.all. I'm going to be sick! Are you OK, mate? That's me done.

:28:38. > :28:46.That was all I had. Pushing himself to the limit is a trait that Scott

:28:46. > :28:49.gets from his dad. What's the bet going to be, a pound? It should be,

:28:49. > :28:56.I don't want to take money off the elderly, or put a hip out swinging

:28:56. > :29:01.this, he's not as young as me any more. My father influenced me

:29:01. > :29:07.heavily growing up. How many balls have we got? Not enough for you to

:29:07. > :29:11.improve. My father had quite an alpha male ethose, it was always a

:29:11. > :29:15.battle to be faster or stronger than him. It was drummed in at a

:29:15. > :29:20.young age, that physical prowess was to be taken on board. With

:29:20. > :29:26.Scott, the idea of growing up is to see what level you can reach. Every

:29:26. > :29:33.child needs a competitive spirit, we can't always be equal, there has

:29:33. > :29:43.to be the best and there has to be the worst. I think sometimes play

:29:43. > :29:44.

:29:44. > :29:49.to win is important. Nearly half way through training,

:29:49. > :29:54.Matt's diet plan of two weight-gain shakes and five meals every day is

:29:54. > :29:59.proving to be a problem. I can't mix that one well enough. This week

:29:59. > :30:03.has been a bad week, I have only been to the gym once, and I needing

:30:03. > :30:07.to once again this afternoon. Purely because I have managed to

:30:07. > :30:13.mess up some hours at work. As well as his job in the call centre, Matt

:30:13. > :30:19.also has to look after his one- year-old daughter. Fortunately,

:30:19. > :30:22.girlfriend Carley is on hand to help. I'm going to get up at 6.00

:30:22. > :30:27.and make his breakfast and lunch for him. As long as I take control

:30:27. > :30:30.of it, everything is going pretty good. It is a great help having her

:30:30. > :30:35.help prepare my meals and stuff like that f it is there in front of

:30:35. > :30:39.me, there is no two ways I can say no about it, she can cook as well,

:30:39. > :30:42.it always tastes better when somebody else cooks for you. It is

:30:42. > :30:50.like having another child, but it has always been that way, it is

:30:50. > :30:55.nothing different. Trainer Mark Anthony may be less

:30:55. > :31:03.forgiving, Matt goes for a check up. Fat weight has gone up from 2.7

:31:03. > :31:08.kilos to 4.7. We have actually increased muscle mass by only 0.4

:31:08. > :31:13.of a kilo, but you have put on two kilos of body fat. That is not good.

:31:13. > :31:16.It should be so much better, Matt. Although Matt's weight has

:31:16. > :31:19.increased, it is mostly fat, suggesting he's not working out

:31:19. > :31:24.enough to turn the extra calories into muscle. Because you are tired

:31:24. > :31:31.at the end of the day, and because you want to see the little-un, do

:31:31. > :31:36.you miss the workouts? I do. course you fucking do. Yes.

:31:36. > :31:39.Absolutely, how many workouts? Quite a few, I need to get it in at

:31:39. > :31:44.lunch, I have the fucking hour at lunch I need to get it in there.

:31:44. > :31:47.You can't lie to me any more. You really can't, this is you now we're

:31:47. > :31:51.talking about, we're investing time in you. So no more telling me

:31:51. > :31:55.bullshit in any way at all. I want the truth, and if you have missed a

:31:55. > :31:58.workout, you better tell me. won't be missing one. He's clearly

:31:58. > :32:03.frustrated, I think he expected a miracle without putting in the

:32:03. > :32:07.effort, and this is the problem. To gain muscle, Matt really needs

:32:07. > :32:13.to feed up. Scott has been called upon to help, with his wealth of

:32:13. > :32:21.experience in mass consumption. How are we doing. Are you all right.

:32:21. > :32:31.Come on in. Freezing. Carley Scott, Scott,

:32:31. > :32:31.

:32:32. > :32:36.Carley. Hello, good. How much of the whole thing would

:32:36. > :32:41.you get in that you see? I thought I was eating loads, but nowhere

:32:41. > :32:47.near. We should do is go out and get you a blender, we can try a few

:32:47. > :32:55.things, chicken, mozzarella, tomato, avocado, you would be surprised

:32:55. > :32:59.what blended food will taste like. Matt is about to be surprised by

:32:59. > :33:03.Scott's speciality a chicken, mozzarella and pesto smoothie.

:33:03. > :33:06.can't imagine that would be nice. When you can't get a certain amount

:33:06. > :33:11.of calories in you, obviously you will not grow or gain. This is an

:33:11. > :33:21.easy way, sometimes, of making sure that at least those newtents are

:33:21. > :33:22.

:33:22. > :33:30.going in. -- NUTants are going in.

:33:30. > :33:36.-- nutrients are going in. Shit, oh. If you mix the potatoes

:33:36. > :33:42.with butter you will get mashed potatoes. It is making me gag.

:33:42. > :33:47.really like that, it is healthy drink. I prefer to brink drink that

:33:47. > :33:57.than eggs. I can't physically fucking drink

:33:57. > :33:57.

:33:57. > :34:07.After their liquid lunch, Scott joins Matt and Carley for a family

:34:07. > :34:09.

:34:09. > :34:13.outing. It makes me miss my little girl, it

:34:13. > :34:17.reinforces how amazing it is to be a parent, and how certain pursuits

:34:17. > :34:25.can be selfish. It has made me think more and more how important

:34:25. > :34:29.it is for me to have done this. Seeing Matt with his partner and

:34:29. > :34:35.having the quality time they have together to watch their child go,

:34:35. > :34:39.yes. I'm completely envious of him, he even vees minusles, but if I

:34:39. > :34:49.could have somebody like this to share my life with, I would swap in

:34:49. > :34:52.

:34:52. > :34:56.a heart beat, this is quality and For student Nick, it is the part of

:34:56. > :35:00.his final year at Cardiff University. I have been looking

:35:00. > :35:03.forward to getting back for a while, summer gets boring at home. It was

:35:03. > :35:07.good seeing all my friends and stuff, but I was ready to get back

:35:07. > :35:11.now. Trying to fit training around his

:35:11. > :35:21.university social life is already taking its toll.

:35:21. > :35:22.

:35:22. > :35:28.Just really tired. I might throw up in a bit. I shouldn't have gone out

:35:28. > :35:32.last night, really. To check up on his progress, Mark

:35:32. > :35:36.has come to Cardiff to pay Nick a visit. How are you getting on?

:35:36. > :35:40.picked the worst day to come down there. I think last night was a big

:35:40. > :35:45.one. I didn't drink, but it was a late one. A late one. I haven't had

:35:45. > :35:51.much sleep, but it is fine, I will push myself harder now. Give me

:35:51. > :35:56.five more reps, smooth and in rhythm. He should be smashing these

:35:56. > :35:59.workouts, not feeling sorry for himself, due to the fact he has had

:35:59. > :36:06.three-and-a-half hours sleep. That really pisses me off, really. He

:36:06. > :36:10.has to stay focused and push forward.

:36:10. > :36:15.Let's have a look in the fridge, first. Literally, there is nothing.

:36:15. > :36:18.We have tomorrow peppers. Some stuff. And some eggs. Back at

:36:19. > :36:26.Nick's house, Mark is seeing if he's sticking to his diet. And this

:36:26. > :36:30.one. I don't feel you are consuming

:36:30. > :36:34.6,500 calories, there is no way you are doing that. I'm not. If you

:36:34. > :36:38.were consuming it t I would see it right here. Everywhere I would look

:36:38. > :36:42.I would see it T I don't think we are consuming half that. We have to

:36:42. > :36:51.be right on this now. It is food, food, food. You have

:36:51. > :36:55.got to feed the machine. Yeah, I get you.

:36:55. > :36:59.With the clock counting down, Mark is checking on the progress of

:36:59. > :37:03.wannabe personal trainer, Martin. What I get from it is everything is

:37:04. > :37:08.cool, is that the case? That is what I get from him. I spoke to him

:37:08. > :37:17.on Sunday, I believe, yeah, I'll see you tomorrow, raring to go. And

:37:17. > :37:22.then, right, 9.00, where are you? All good? I'm in the zone. Well,

:37:22. > :37:27.obviously the zone is where I want you to be. But, I want you to be in

:37:27. > :37:32.the zone all the time. That means all the fucking time, Martin. I

:37:32. > :37:36.mean it. It really, really does. I have had a chat with Jason, and he

:37:36. > :37:39.has concerns, so let's cut the bullshit, we miss a session he will

:37:40. > :37:48.tell me and I will come back down here as well. I will. I appreciate

:37:48. > :37:52.that. With Martin struggling to keep to

:37:52. > :37:56.his programme, sports doctor Kay Brennan wants to talk to him.

:37:56. > :38:05.there any of the parts of outside of the gym that you challenge

:38:06. > :38:10.yourself in? In terms of ...Anything? This new fitness.

:38:10. > :38:16.Ignore fitness. Ignore the gym totally. Ignore the gym totally,

:38:16. > :38:20.what other parts of life do you challenge yourself in? Yeah. There

:38:20. > :38:26.is nothing? There is nothing, really, to be honest. Is it really

:38:26. > :38:31.making you happy? You know, the buzz that I get I want to be able

:38:31. > :38:35.to give that buzz to someone back. That's why I want to become a

:38:35. > :38:40.personal trainer. My worry, and I feed back my worry, is that all

:38:40. > :38:44.there is is the gym. There is nothing else. Yeah, it has

:38:44. > :38:48.distracted me, and at uni. I think it is more than a distraction. It

:38:48. > :38:51.is like any addiction, addiction is not doing something a lot, and

:38:51. > :38:57.that's it, it is having an unhealthy relationship with

:38:57. > :39:02.something. You have an unhealthy relationship with the gym. I have

:39:02. > :39:05.always called the gym my first house, you know, where I go home at

:39:05. > :39:12.night is the place to sleep to be restful and cook for the gym. Which

:39:12. > :39:19.is crazy. That's how it was. She obviously sees that I'm a addicted

:39:19. > :39:22.to it. Take your top off and we will jump

:39:22. > :39:26.on the scale and see where we currently are.

:39:26. > :39:31.It is time for Scott's check-up, when he started training seven

:39:31. > :39:35.weeks ago, he was set the target of losing two stone, 13 kilos of pure

:39:35. > :39:38.muscle. We are still 4.7 kilo off target weight. As long as you keep

:39:38. > :39:46.this up and this momentum of exercise up as well, I think you

:39:46. > :39:51.are going to crush it! With Scott close to hitting his final target,

:39:51. > :39:56.weeks ahead of schedule, Dr Kay has concerns. Tell me how you have been

:39:56. > :40:01.finding it so far? Now, the fitter I get the more I want to do. I'm

:40:01. > :40:07.itching to get a lot fitter. I feel like I like the changes I'm seeing

:40:07. > :40:12.now, and I want that to continue. You don't really rest, you have to

:40:12. > :40:17.sit down and do nothing, I would love it if that was one of your

:40:17. > :40:24.goals, which was to rest. I have never ever thought of whether I do,

:40:24. > :40:32.even at home, if I'm sat on the sofa or looking at DVDsam 6 I

:40:32. > :40:41.chilling, I'm always on the phone - - amI chilling, I would agree, I

:40:41. > :40:44.don't ever chill. I'm hard on myself, I feel if I don't succeed

:40:45. > :40:48.I'm happy. The need to be the biggest, best or leanest, or suffer

:40:48. > :40:54.the most, or be sick the most when I'm training, or run the furthest,

:40:54. > :40:58.it has always been a self release for me, it makes me feel good about

:40:58. > :41:04.myself, that self-worth is important to me. Nowhere did Scott

:41:04. > :41:08.push himself harder than when competing as a body builder. It is

:41:08. > :41:12.some feat to be that big, but you are competing yourself against the

:41:12. > :41:18.iron in the gym and the food on the table. Preparing for a body

:41:18. > :41:21.building show reeked havoc in his relationship with ex-girlfriend,

:41:22. > :41:25.Caprice. When he was dieting for a competition that he did last year,

:41:25. > :41:29.it got to the point where he was eating nearly every hour-and-a-half.

:41:29. > :41:33.So we couldn't go out for the day. If we went out he would have to

:41:33. > :41:36.stop, and you just couldn't get into anything, really. I didn't

:41:36. > :41:41.realise it was a very selfish pursuit I was doing, and my

:41:41. > :41:47.girlfriend would say, you're moody, or God, you need to eat some cashes,

:41:47. > :41:52.thing is, maybe I -- cars, I should have. When he was into the diet I

:41:52. > :41:58.saw a different side to him. I wasn't used to him snap, I did

:41:58. > :42:05.notice him snap ago bit. And I -- snapping a bit. And I thought,

:42:05. > :42:10.that's not right, you don't snap at me. It was a direct result of my

:42:10. > :42:12.body building that the relationship broke, if I had the choice of

:42:12. > :42:20.having the relationship or stepping on stage, I would never step on

:42:20. > :42:25.stage. After nine weeks, it is time for

:42:25. > :42:30.the mens' programmes to be upped for the final time. The muscle men

:42:30. > :42:34.have been put to five sessions a week of intense cardio, they are

:42:34. > :42:38.only allowed to consume 2,000 calories a day. Whilst the skinny

:42:38. > :42:41.boys have now got five sessions a week of pumping iron, and are

:42:41. > :42:47.having to eat close to 7,000 calories a day.

:42:47. > :42:52.But Matt is falling even further behind. He hasn't really put the

:42:52. > :42:54.effort in that I hoped he would. And it makes me angry, it makes me

:42:54. > :42:59.angry because not everybody gets opportunities to do things like

:42:59. > :43:05.this. I think what makes me disappointed is the lack of

:43:05. > :43:08.motivation and he doesn't seem to have that passion and that sparkle.

:43:08. > :43:12.I'm not having a go, do you feel like you have done everything you

:43:12. > :43:15.absolutely can do? No, not at the moment, with work at the moment it

:43:15. > :43:20.is hard. I really want to see you happy, and to see you happy you

:43:20. > :43:26.have to be happy with your own performance. To do that you have to

:43:26. > :43:31.push yourself. Basically I have to become more motivated and less lazy,

:43:31. > :43:36.it is what I have to do, innit. Thank you, it means a lot to me

:43:36. > :43:41.that you realise how important it is to me for you to make something

:43:41. > :43:45.of yourself, and do something. Maybe I have made it too easy for

:43:45. > :43:49.him, and given him everything he really needs, I need him to up his

:43:49. > :43:55.game and show me what he wants from life, and hopefully it is a bit

:43:55. > :44:01.more what I want from life. 12 weeks ago, two skinny boys, and

:44:01. > :44:07.two muscle men came to London to change their bodies.

:44:07. > :44:14.Over the past three months, they have pushed themselves in the gym.

:44:14. > :44:18.Confronted their bad habits, and taken their diets to the extreme.

:44:18. > :44:24.Now they are returning to London to show their mentors what they have

:44:24. > :44:32.achieved. They will be measured and weighed

:44:32. > :44:40.to see if they have reached their targets. First up is Scott. Scott,

:44:40. > :44:44.how are you? You look great. I cannot believe this. Incredible,

:44:45. > :44:51.absolutely sensational, you have lost blundles of weight. It has

:44:51. > :44:57.been fun. 12 -- Bundles of weight. 12 weeks ago he wanted to drop

:44:57. > :45:02.three-stone of bulk. Let's strip, you are shredded, well done. Over

:45:02. > :45:06.the last three months, Scott has undergone a dramatic transformation,

:45:06. > :45:15.starting with a Hulking body builder's frame, he has lost four

:45:15. > :45:20.stone to achieve this. A more nimble, athletic body. This is

:45:20. > :45:30.remarkable, mate. Absolutely, well done. Really shit hot. So waist we

:45:30. > :45:36.

:45:36. > :45:41.were 37 inches. Oh my good God. You started off at 103. Shit.

:45:41. > :45:45.I can't believe that, that is if he nominal. Scott's biggest change has

:45:45. > :45:50.been around his waist, with a reduction of six inches, he has

:45:50. > :45:54.gone from a 37 inch to a 31 inch waist. After pushing himself to the

:45:54. > :46:01.limit, Scott has achieved a dramatic transformation, but going

:46:01. > :46:11.below his target weight is a concern for Kay and Mark. We were

:46:11. > :46:12.

:46:12. > :46:16.10.3%. Holy shit. Body fat percentage is

:46:16. > :46:26.3.2%. I'm shocked, but I'm not surprised. I think I will go back

:46:26. > :46:30.to the medical side of just saying, that body fat now is really at an

:46:30. > :46:35.almost unacceptably low level. That we need to have a certain amount of

:46:35. > :46:38.body fat, keep us warm, make sure that our immune system is able to

:46:38. > :46:42.function well enough. You want to go off, eat ice-cream, putting on a

:46:42. > :46:47.little bit is not a failure at all. I hope he does take away the

:46:47. > :46:52.messages that he needs to chill out a little bit about this, go away,

:46:52. > :47:00.enjoy himself, go on holiday. Really embrace him being a fitter,

:47:01. > :47:10.leaner person. While Scott is getting used to his fitter body,

:47:11. > :47:11.

:47:11. > :47:14.he's yet to see the contrast side- by-side. Wow, Jesus, ha ha. I'm

:47:14. > :47:21.literally half the size. I look like a big body builder there, on

:47:21. > :47:24.the left I'm so lean and slick and just, I can't believe it. It

:47:24. > :47:31.literally look like a different person. I look at myself now and I

:47:31. > :47:35.think that's the way to be. I need a bit more of a tan. For Scott, who

:47:35. > :47:40.used to go to the gym every day, and eat every two hours, life is

:47:40. > :47:43.suddenly very different. I would say before the 12 week s I

:47:43. > :47:53.definitely had an obsession with the gym, obsessing about what to

:47:53. > :47:57.train and eat. The hardest thing to do is chill out. A what, a pirate

:47:57. > :48:01.ship. You can come on there too.. I think I can come on there. It is

:48:01. > :48:04.great to bond and be there with Olivia, she loves to go here, run

:48:04. > :48:12.around and play everywhere, chase me, play football, it is great to

:48:12. > :48:17.mess around, I'm fitter and leaner. I'm not hot all the time, I sleep

:48:17. > :48:21.so much better, my skin is perfect. Daddy, please come in. OK, have you

:48:21. > :48:25.got my tea ready. Smashing the goals was great, this is my main

:48:25. > :48:33.goal, now I can do everything with her that she can do, it is not

:48:33. > :48:37.limited by my size or how fit I am, I can do everything with her.

:48:37. > :48:41.There is more important things than gym, family, friends, love. I have

:48:41. > :48:45.been overly focused on my physical self, because I haven't been able

:48:45. > :48:50.to share it with someone. Now is a good time to have a little look out

:48:50. > :48:54.there and see if there is a potential Mrs Francis somewhere.

:48:54. > :49:02.It has been a more difficult 12 weeks for student, Nick, who now

:49:02. > :49:07.faces the moment of truth. Hello, how are you. Nice to see you.

:49:07. > :49:12.Looking well. When Nick started, he barely weighed nine stone, although

:49:12. > :49:18.he has been working out, he hasn't been so good with the diet. Take

:49:18. > :49:23.your top off, let's measure you up. It looks bigger than it is.

:49:23. > :49:30.looks good. Turn to the side. arms were 11 inches. Arms are much

:49:30. > :49:37.better, toned as hell. 12 and three quarters. Fantastic. Big increase.

:49:37. > :49:44.Arms up in the air. Chest was 33- inches. A little pair of pecs there

:49:44. > :49:48.I can see? 35. Great. Whilst Nick hasn't kept up with the sheer

:49:48. > :49:52.amount of food really needed to bulk up, his biceps have grown by

:49:52. > :49:56.an inch and three quarters and his chest has filled out by an

:49:56. > :50:00.impressive two inches. You put on four kilos of pure, lean muscle

:50:00. > :50:05.mass. Do you know how difficult it is to put on one kilo of muscle

:50:05. > :50:10.mass on, it is really hard, to put four on is great. When I started

:50:10. > :50:14.seeing the fat in areas that I didn't what to see extra fat, to

:50:14. > :50:23.counter that I cut down my food. I was an idiot not to trust the

:50:23. > :50:29.professionals. Whilst Nick's muscles haven't grown

:50:29. > :50:33.as much as hoped, in other areas there have been big changes. Nick's

:50:33. > :50:37.confidence has grown literally from there to there.

:50:37. > :50:41.This process has taught me that I needing to out, obviously I haven't

:50:41. > :50:46.been organised through this, and I haven't perhaps pushed myself as

:50:46. > :50:51.hard as I should have, and if I do that in real life, I'm never going

:50:51. > :50:54.to be successful. I think it is his sense of humour, he seems more

:50:54. > :51:01.relaxed lately. I think it is nice having muscles and looking better,

:51:01. > :51:06.but I don't think it makes the man, no, not at all.

:51:06. > :51:10.12 weeks ago, muscles were everything to Martin, and he

:51:10. > :51:16.struggled giving up the big weights. Recently he has been more dedicated,

:51:16. > :51:23.but will it be enough. Hello guys. Look at Martin. Look at

:51:23. > :51:30.me. Are you OK. Nice to see you. Wow.

:51:30. > :51:35.Different man. Different man. looks good. It really looks good.

:51:35. > :51:41.feel good, clean, fresh, fit, fast. When Martin started out he weighed

:51:41. > :51:46.16-stone, to get the body he wanted he need to lose two stone.

:51:46. > :51:50.-- he needed to lose two stone. Let's have a look, much better.

:51:50. > :51:56.cutting down from six meals a day to three, and swapping power

:51:56. > :52:04.lifting for aerobic exercise, Martin has bulked down from 16

:52:04. > :52:10.stone to a much leaner 14-stone. 21% body fat last time, we're

:52:10. > :52:16.hoping that you have lost quite a substantial amount, let's see.

:52:16. > :52:25.Body fat is 14.3%. You have lost eight kilos of fat.

:52:25. > :52:34.In 12 week, that is an exceptional body transformation.

:52:34. > :52:39.This is going to be your picture before here.

:52:39. > :52:47.What words come into your head? don't know, lost, confused. This is

:52:47. > :52:50.obviously the new man, now. Which is a remarkable

:52:50. > :52:54.transformation. Such a difference in the face. Your chest is so much

:52:54. > :52:58.better, your abdomen looks completely different here, your

:52:58. > :53:02.arms look like, you know, what arms should look like. If I ever walked

:53:03. > :53:07.down your way, and see you have turned into this man, I'm going to

:53:07. > :53:12.fucking kill you. It will never happen, trust me, I can't believe

:53:12. > :53:15.it was to that stage, live and learn. Very well done.

:53:15. > :53:20.Whilst Martin still dreams of becoming a personal trainer, he has

:53:20. > :53:25.decided he also needs a life outside of training. Being addicted

:53:25. > :53:29.to the gym has definitely kept me in a delusional state, and coming

:53:29. > :53:31.out of that now, it is kind of like I have been released from some

:53:32. > :53:36.institution, like prison or something like that. I have to

:53:36. > :53:42.become normalised now. If you are looking for a

:53:42. > :53:49.distraction from the real world, I found it in the gym. I hid there, I

:53:49. > :53:53.hid, scared, I hid there for a couple of years. Now that I'm out

:53:53. > :53:58.of it, I would say this is genuinely the happiest I have been.

:53:59. > :54:02.Last up is Matt. In the final stretch his girlfriend wanted to

:54:02. > :54:09.see more dedication and motivation. Having missed lots of gym sessions,

:54:09. > :54:15.Matt promised to turn things around in the last few week.

:54:15. > :54:21.Hello, nice to see you. How many sessions did you do?

:54:21. > :54:27.managed eight. You got eight in. I'm really proud, that is awesome.

:54:27. > :54:34.We will measure you. Top it off. weeks ago Matt weighed nine-and-a-

:54:34. > :54:42.half ston and had less than 5% -- stone, and had less than 5% body

:54:42. > :54:49.fat. I'm proud of the eight session. Arms were 10.5 inch inches. Now 11

:54:49. > :54:58.and three quarters. Weight before was 59.7. Our target

:54:58. > :55:02.weight was 76.5 kilo. We are 61.6. Matt has put on less than two kilos.

:55:02. > :55:08.But he has still managed to increase his biceps by an inch-and-

:55:08. > :55:11.a-half. There have been other gains. It looks like a bit more confidence.

:55:11. > :55:17.I do feel better in myself. I have never ever thought it would have

:55:17. > :55:21.been as difficult as it was. big thing is how you carry yourself.

:55:21. > :55:28.And going forward, really. This was only the start for you. Of making a

:55:28. > :55:32.big change. But the real test for Matt's

:55:32. > :55:37.confidence is outside the gym. you want to take her and I will see

:55:37. > :55:41.you in a bit. Before this I was always comfortable about taking my

:55:41. > :55:46.top off in public. Even putting on that little bit of weight I have

:55:46. > :55:50.put on has make me feel a lot better about myself. I'm looking

:55:50. > :55:55.forward to taking the little one swimming. No ribs, I used to be

:55:55. > :55:59.able to count literally all the bones, you can't see any of the

:55:59. > :56:04.bones now, how fucking cool is that. Alana comes first in everything I

:56:04. > :56:14.do, I wanted that to be the case with him too. Now I'm proud that he

:56:14. > :56:14.

:56:14. > :56:18.feels confident in himself to come here and put her first.

:56:18. > :56:28.I don't feel that people are still looking at me because I'm really

:56:28. > :56:29.

:56:29. > :56:33.skinny. I feel like I'm just like a normal person again now. Even if

:56:33. > :56:38.his body hasn't changed drastically, his mind has. For me it was up in

:56:38. > :56:45.his head that needed alteration and change.

:56:45. > :56:49.It is pretty good to be in the pool instead of on the sideline, playing

:56:49. > :56:53.around around with her and having a giggle is better than thaank

:56:53. > :57:00.standing watching them both have -- than standing watching them both

:57:00. > :57:04.have fun. Him getting in the pool with me a is a big change for me,
