That tool belt is certainly hanging a bit looser on Melbourne plumber Jason after several weeks of competing on The Block.
Jason reveals to TV WEEK he actually lost about 14 kilograms during the renovations.
“I have lost a lot of weight,” he confirms.
“I came on the show and was probably close to 135kg, and now I’m sitting on around 121kg.”
The weight loss means he’s had to tighten his belt to accommodate his increasingly loose clothing.
“I’ve gone down four notches on my belt,” the 46-year-old says with a proud grin.
The father-of-three credits the weight loss to the physical work and a change in eating habits.
Jason is in great shape thanks to his time on The Block.
This season, the contestants all had access to meals delivered to them by meal company Youfoodz.
“All I’m doing is eating Youfoodz,” Jason says. “And I don’t drink alcohol… well, hardly ever.”
He’s not the only contestant to have lost weight.
Both Clint and Josh believe they’ve shed a few kilograms during the series.
“I’ve definitely lost weight,” Josh, 28, reveals.
Josh’s partner Elyse, 24, says she’s tried to ensure there are healthy meals on hand for him.
“I have to remind him to eat,” she explains.
“It’s about getting nutritional food back in to you and remembering health is important.”
Josh, with partner Elyse, has also felt the affects of eating healthy food on The Block.
