The Australian Idol judge Ian Dickson was one of the first male celebrities to sign up with Jenny Craig, Jen4Men. Over the weekend he revealed the results of his weight loss having shed approximately 35 pounds in less than six months. He told the Daily Telegraph that he wishes he would have done it sooner. The 46-year-old said,

“I’ve gone through my 30s and most of my 40s with a ridiculous beer gut, man boobs and double chin….You look at yourself (in the mirror) and you realize the only reason I’ve got this big floppy gut and floppy man boobs is that I was just too lazy to do anything about it.”

He’s been working with a trainer twice a week and plays golf three times a week. He said he’s working on his core but not sure if he’s aiming for a six-pack or just some basic sculpting. As for his diet he has given up the potato chips, french fries and the mayonnaise and butter on his sandwiches and instead likes to eat salads and veggies. He does still allow himself a dessert from time to time. He explained,

“I have given up the drink and I’ve given up going out and partying, and now I’ve given up unhealthy food, and sometimes that results in me making the odd extra trip to the desert trolley.”

Another Australian celebrity is ready to sign up with Jenny Craig.  Perhaps after seeing the success of Kath & Kim star Magda Szubanski lose so much weight, the Australian Idol judge Ian Dickson (pictured in the center) decided to jump on the weight loss bandwagon too.  Dickson, referred to as ‘Dicko’ is known for telling Idol contestants to lose weight and get in shape but this time he’s taking his own advice and wants to lose approximately 35 pounds. He said,

“I knew I was carrying a little more than I should have but to find that I was 104 kilos [230 pounds] was – literally – staggering.”

The married father-of-two decided he didn’t want to give in to middle-age and realizes that being overweight can bring upon all types of life threatening diseases so he decided to get professional help through Jenny Craig. He said,

“I absolutely refuse to give in to middle age – I’ve got a hell of a lot of living to do yet.”
