PAUL McDONALD'S JOURNAL

As seen on 'Today Tonight' Dec 2004 & Jan 2006.

Paul McDonald's story has captured Australia's imagination. At 175kg he was morbidly obese and considered to be in the 'danger' category. At 39 years of age, with failing health Paul recognised that he had to find a way to lose a serious amount of weight or risk the likelihood of a significantly premature death.
