Magda Szubanski’s inspiring quest to lose 40kg is continuing, and last week the star shed new light on just how challenging a task it is.

The much loved comedian revealed she was overcome with emotion when she started filming her first TV ad for Jenny Craig — the weight-loss company which is helping her slim down.

“I teared up,” she told the Sunday Telegraph Magazine. “I was 121kg and I had moments of real sadness.

“The tears were partly because I realised how out of control I was, and I knew people were worried about me — I was worried about myself — but also because I was starting to see there was hope.”

It’s a tough ask to change the habits of a lifetime, but Magda showed no signs of giving up her fight when she hit the streets of Bondi with some friends last week.

The trio favoured foot-power as they wandered around local shops, picking out healthy fare, then enjoyed a light lunch of poached eggs and salad at a cafe.
