Magda Szubanski's attempts at weight loss have been played out in the public eye but the comedian seems to be on a winning run once again with news she has shed 13kg.

Speaking to KIIS FM radio hosts Jackie O and Kyle Sandilands, the latter of whom has made gibes about the actress' weight in the past, Szubanski revealed she put on kilos after she quit smoking but was back on a healthy path.

"I did put on weight actually, after I gave up smoking," the Kath & Kim star said.

"Well, I'm in the process of losing it again. As we know. Are we going to mention that or not?"

Szubanski reportedly inked a million-dollar contract with weight- loss company Jenny Craig earlier this year after her first stint as an ambassador for the brand ended three years ago.

"It's good, it's working for me, I've lost 13kg," the redhead said of her second turn with the company.

Szubanski added she was not aiming at a particular goal this time because it was hard to drop weight with the public watching her every move.

"It's very high pressure doing it publicly," she said. "It takes guts to lose your guts, yes."
