“A successful ad man on a six-figure income, Paul Jeffreys, (Squeeze to his friends), is ‘the funny fat man at every party.’ His large size defines his larger than life personality. But even Paul is surprised in December 2001, when he weighs in at 168 kgs – that’s over 26 stone. His reaction is, despite the high degree of difficulty, to lose weight au naturel – no pills, potions or wonder drugs. But at each weigh-in he’s confronted with the possibility that he may not make his goal weight. That’s pretty tough when you’re an overachiever and failure is not an option.” (TV3 Publicity)

Interviews: Caroline Jeffereys, John Cameron, Gary Hudson.
