A health scare prompted TV host Kerri-Anne Kennerley to improve her eating and exercise habits, with remarkable results. Now she reveals her weight-loss tips so you can follow her lead and get healthy at home.
Last summer, the usually unsinkable Kerri-Anne Kennerley had lurched to the end of an exhausting year, when she and her husband, John Kennerley, headed off to America for a skiing holiday. Nothing out of the ordinary about that – except she collapsed after arriving in Colorado.
“I passed out on the bathroom floor,” she explains. “John helped me to the sofa and I didn’t move for 24 hours. I was exhausted, plus I had a really bad cold and a temperature.”
That should have been the warning she needed, but typically, the bubbly host of the Nine Network’s Mornings with Kerri-Anne just got up and kept going, “skiing five hours a day”. No visit to the doctor? “No, I don’t do doctors well.”
So the time-bomb kept ticking and, by July 2005, Kerri-Anne admits, “I hit the wall. I was exhausted again and I was preparing for an overseas trip, and none of my good clothes fitted.” Something needed to change. She needed to get healthy and lose a little weight, but she knew she couldn’t do it alone.
