Kyle Sandilands shocks fans with weight loss update following health scare: 'I'm actually quite impressed'
Kyle Sandilands has revealed a major milestone in his health journey after being on the verge of death.
The radio king, 54, who is on a health kick after his shock brain aneurysm announcement, addressed his progress on KIIS FM's The Kyle & Jackie O Show on Thursday after a week of exercise and dieting.
In the radio segment, Jackie, 50, reminded listeners of Kyle's goal to take 'baby steps' in order to inspire others who are struggling with their weight, a program which has been dubbed 'Kyle's Big Fatso Club' by the hosts.
'Fatso Club started a week ago. Your whole initiative with this was to give people baby steps and make it doable for the big fatsos,' she began.
'Your original weigh-in weight last week was 139.7 kilos,' she said, before revealing that Kyle would get on the scale to record his progress a week into his lifestyle transformation.
'Even if I've not lost anything, I'm still going to continue,' he confessed, before hopping onto the scale.
The result prompted an audible gasp from Jackie, who revealed that Kyle weighed in at 137.3 kilograms.
'You've lost over two kilos in one week!' she added, which was met with applause from the studio.
'I'm actually quite impressed with myself,' Kyle replied, chuffed with his progress.
Jackie added: 'Be impressed because it's impressive.'
Kyle's recent health kick comes after he made a heartbreaking admission about the state of his well-being last month.
The radio shock jock revealed on-air that his physical activities were limited due to his 138kg weight, which is 12kg more than he weighed last year.
'I'm 138, I thought I was massive. I've been a bit... I don't know whether "depressed" is the word? Ever since this aneurysm thing came up a year ago,' Kyle told listeners.
'I brushed it off inside. My wife is on me about it, asking if I would like to come for a walk with her and [their son] Otto. I would like to, but just too fat and lazy to go!'
Kyle also mentioned a recent hospital visit for a check-up, noting that he would consider forming a support group for others struggling with weight issues.
'I did all these scans yesterday, haven't got the results yet. If I'm good, then I will put together a club, "Kyle's Big Fatso Club", where I want others to join me in my slow march to healthiness. Who is with me?' he said.
In February, the media personality revealed to listeners he had been diagnosed with a brain aneurysm, which prompted fans of the radio star to express their support.
'On Friday, I was told by my medical team - which sounds like I'm already very sick, that I have a brain aneurysm. It requires immediate attention, brain surgery,' he said at the time.
'My doctor said if I didn't get it checked, I would have died. A life of cocaine abuse and partying are not the way to go!'
He revealed his doctor had banned him from doing cocaine, masturbating, heavy lifting and becoming stressed.
