Comedienne Magda Szubanski just keeps on shrinking

Thursday, March 19, 2009

Now she's lost a total of 75cm from her body. Since she began her weight-loss crusade, Magda has lost 26kg — including a massive 16.5kg since she joined weight loss program Jenny Craig.

Magda has lost so much weight, she now has to don a full body fat suit when she takes to the stage in her role as Big Jule in Guys & Dolls.

"I'd much rather wear the fat suit than wear the fat. When I put my suit on again this year after losing all this weight the pants were so huge they were like clown pants. Every time I put my pants on now it's a reminder of just how much weight I have lost."

"Yes I am feeling a bit foxy, and when I lose another 8.5kgs I may have to sedate myself!" the Kath & Kim star says.

"I'm making better food choices on my own now, and it's been surprisingly easy to stick to my eating plan."

As Magda told the March issue of The Australian Women’s Weekly, on sale now: 'When you lose weight, you don't just fit into clothes, it allows you to lead a meaningful life.'

Since starting with Jenny Craig in December, Magda has lost:

  • Bust - 13cm
  • Waist - 17cm
  • Hips - 16cm
  • Each Arm - 6cm
  • Each Leg – 8.5cm

For a total of 75cm
