As it has been spashed all over the new at the min
and in the papers..
Fern Britton has had a gastric band fitted to help her lose weight..Some people says that she lied about the way she lose her weight,as far as i can see she never said she was on a diet of any kind..
If im wrong i will be gladly stand corrected..
Well as far as i can see it was her choice to loce weight in her own way,i feel the fact she didnt tell anyone isn't a problem..
So why all the fuss about the way she lose her weight,fair enough she was the face of a weight lose company pushing another way for people to lose weight..
Just saw a news report,someone was being interviewed in the gym,and if i understoon the woman said,Fern lied about her weight lose..
so as far as i can see there is no problem at all..
Do you agree or disagree?..

I think it's awful if she's lied. I appreciate it's her life but I was in total awe of the natural commensense way she 'said' she'd lost weight, cutting portion sizes and cycling. I've always liked her honesty and it'll be a shame if she has lied.
She still looks marvellous tho doesn't she?

In my opinion she looks great and I havnt issues with the way she has lost weight. It's her business after all. What I do take issue with though is being in magazines and earning money doing a top selling video that was based on lies.
I'd still do her though :giggle:

I met her ten years ago when I was on Ready Steady Cook, and she was lovely. As far as I know, she hasn't lied, but I do agree with people who make money from so called keep fit videos saying that they have lost the weight doing it..
Fern is lovely... And cuddly! (I got one when I was there!)
biggrin

Good luck to her. No ones business how shes lost it.
If she has lied then the money she has made from it should go to charity but who says shes lied? The media? Well we all know about that dont we mad
Im hoping to have a gastric band fitted soon, anyone want a fat lady before I become a thin one?? :giggle:

Dearest Members,
Fern comes across as a Human Being in what I deem as a Industry based on Ego & bullshite.
For this I will always respect her. So what if she had the Op maybe if I was in 'her shoes' I might do the same.
Not everyone has the 'steel of mind' to lose weight via Diet or Running or Yoga....
I think that this being front page news just shows us how far we have got in terms of 'quaility news' in the United Kingdom.
Let's look at the madness of Robert Mugabe, deaths of youths in London by knifes, why America has spent like billions of dollars to land a probe on Mars when their OWN people don't have adequate healthcare.
Or the looming gobal crisis with the issue of FOOD...more people, more demand, more money, someone is going to get hungry.
Let's Fern live & pray that we can still enjoy the selection of Food we in the U.K can enjoy today in 25yrs time..?
From,
Wunderhorse.

I know little about what she's said but does therein lie a deception - or at least an attempt at one?
I like Fern but I think we should all take advertising with a pinch of salt...
...just so long as it doesn't adversely affect hearts you understand!! :roll:

She has lost far too much weight too soon, to have lost it by natural means. So what she has lost weight, looks better for it, but why lie about the way she lost it? :shock:
Maybe she thinks we all silly people? Good luck to her though, as she does look much better and it must be better for her health. cool

How easy is it to get a gastric band?
I need to lose weight - about 5 stone according to the charts, but 3 would do. I've done it by diet but can't seem to shift even a couple of pounds now without putting it back.
Are there other options?

Which diets have you tried and how long did you stick to them for?
realistically it takes a month before you can see real results

I only do the eating fewer calories - especially carbs and fat. No point doing silly ones. But for years I haven't been able to maintain a diet for more than a week at best. Pathetic I know but I just can't get the mind-set to keep at it. Practical help would (obviously) help. LOL

Disagree, sorry. I lost 23lbs last year in 6 weeks, exercising 3 times a week and cut down on carbs eating loads of protein and no alcohol. If you have a lot to lose you can lose initial first few stones pretty fast.
I'm not actually bothered how she lost the weight but to be a person in the limelight to whom A LOT of women have looked up to it would be a shame if she's lied, at the end of the day though she's probably healthier for it.

My friend's had one fitted, she's losing weight pretty fast but can only eat tiny amounts. She paid for hers so i'm not sure about NHS treatments.

good on fern is this is the way she has decided to lose her weight....
she hasn't lied about how she lost the weight... she has said that it has help her lose weight, but it is not just going to be down to that alone...
this is a different case to for example jade goody, who did keep fit videos and the blurted out that in face she had had liposuction instead........

I agree in a way... I lost over two stones at christmas due to norovirus, then a further stone by excercise and going veggie... not through any tablets or bands.
But its your own personal way of doing things.. I do know someone who had the band and they lost loads quickly.. its whatever works for you.
