Motivation to lose weight: Rodger’s main motivation to lose weight is to spend more active time with his son and be around long enough to build a strong relationship with his future grandchildren.

Rodger is a loveable larrikin, a real Aussie bloke who doesn’t give much away. He says what he thinks and has no problem with what others think. He is a true Ararat local and has been living in the town since the age of 5. Rodger loves nothing more than a “well-cooked steak, a drop of red, a few beers and above all a good laugh”. He claims that his weight has never held him back.

Growing up, Rodger was an avid lifesaver at his local pool. He loved football and started playing AFL at school; now he enjoys watching it. His relationship with food and alcohol is always revolved around a social time – and laughter with his mates.
