She’s larger-than-life. And, that’s the problem for Australia’s most-loved comedienne Magda Szubanski.
“I’ve been in tears with frustration and despair,” Magda tells the January issue of The Australian Women’s Weekly, on sale December 24.
“It’s really distressing to see something happen to yourself that you think you have no control over and no ability to stop.”
It was when her body finally ballooned to 121kgs that the 158cms tall Magda decided enough was enough.
She turned to weight loss leader, Jenny Craig, for help.
“I realised that what I needed was to go back to eating school, find someone to show me how to control my love affair with food,” she tells The Weekly.
Jenny Craig provided her with guidance, knowledge, support and a plan.
“What appealed to me about Jenny Craig was that it was realistic — not too easy, but not too hard. There is a lot of collective wisdom and advice there. They provide you with the food and they give you a structure and support.”

Over the coming months, the magazine will be following her progress as she targets her ultimate goal to reach 85kgs — a total loss of 36 kilos.
