Magda Szubanski – 79lbs – Ad Campaign With Jenny Craig

Australian comedian Magda Szubanski shed nearly 80 pounds between 2009 and 2011, thanks to her lucrative deal with celebrity trainer Jenny Craig. Unfortunately, she lost the contract after regaining over 20 pounds, according to Now to Love. All her life, the “Kath & Kim” actress struggled with her weight, which stemmed from her childhood.

Szubanski, who hosted “Weakest Link” in 2021, shared that her struggles started when her father instructed her to starve herself at only 11 years old. However, extreme deprivation had affected her metabolism. The celebrity did explain that her dad’s intention may have been rooted in his own experience as an overweight child.
