I’ve been working hard lately to shift some of the excess weight I’m carrying around. When I arrived here in Poland not so long ago, I was a disturbingly large 85kg or so; now, I’m a shade over 74kg.

Strangely, it’s in the "before" photo that I’m surrounded by beautiful girls – how did that happen? And my taste in clothes hasn’t improved much…

The weight loss is down to a combination of going to the gym regularly, and eating more carefully. For instance, my personal favourite meal, at least here in Poland, has always been sausages with onions in white bread rolls with loads of mustard and ketchup, and a bottle of Cola Light to go with it. Now, I eat only healthy (healthier!) foods, and I’ve not had a touch of anything but water to drink for weeks now. I think it’s working.

Ad – Weight Loss Reporter (on Newsweek – Pulse360)

Why does this weight loss ad feature a picture of Melissa Theuriau? While I totally agree that she is an amazing photogenic French reporter, I rather doubt she’s a paid spokesmodel for this product.

I’ve noticed that ads served up by pulse360 seem to have a lot of blatant copyright abuse.
