It's always harder a few weeks down the line.
After an incredible first weigh-in last week, the five fierce Operation Transformation leaders had to reckon with an obstacle many people encounter on their fitness journey, namely that weight often becomes more difficult to shift as time goes on.
Tonight's episode caught all the highs and lows as each leader received an update on how their weight loss is going.

Pamela Swayne from Youghal, Co Cork weighed in at 13st 7lb (86kg) and had been given a target of 3lbs (1.36kg). Unfortunately, she didn't lose any weight this week and was given a new target of 2lbs (0.9kg) for next week.
This comes after smashing her targets last week, losing 7lbs having been set a target of 6lbs, although criticism of her smoking and Diet Coke habit slightly pulled focus from her success.
Paul Murphy weighed in this week at 13st 7lb (86kg) and had been set a target of 4lbs (1.8kg) for this week. He once again exceeded expectations, losing 6lbs (2.7kg) and aiming to lose 3lbs (1.36kg) next week.
Jean Tierney weighed in at 14st 5lbs (81kg) and was shooting for a weight loss target of 3lbs (1.36kg). Although she fell slightly short, coming in at 2lbs (0.9kg) lost, she wasn't too dissuaded and will keep after her new target of 2lbs.
Cathal Gallagher weighed in at 25st 4lbs (161kg) and was working towards a target weight loss of 4lbs (1.8kg), which he lost. Cathal had made the most progress last week, dropping a whopping 16lbs, so fingers crossed he keeps up the momentum to lose another 4lbs next week.
Finally, Siobhan O'Brien weighed in at 16st 11lbs (107kg) and had been given a target of 3lbs (1.36kg), which she lost. Next week she'll hope to lose 2lbs (09kg) more.
It wasn't all tense weigh-ins, though, as fitness expert Karl Henry got a glimpse at Jean's wedding dress, drawing a very "Franc" opinion from him.
In tonight's #OperationTransformation, when Jean shows @karlhenrypt her wedding dress he is very Franc with his opinion... ☺️👰☺️
