Lose Weight Comments Off on Charles Barkley, Weight Watchers spokesman, wants to help Alabama lose some weight (video)

Move your skinny self over, Jennifer Hudson. Leeds native and Auburn basketball superstar Charles Barkley is the first spokesMAN for Weight Watchers and he wants to recruit big losers from the state of Alabama.

He told ABC's Deborah Roberts for a segment on "Good Morning America" today that he's lost about 40 pounds since going on Weight Watchers. (See his 30-second spot here. Yes, that gravelly-voiced, hairy-chested version of a woman is Sir Charles.)

During the interview, the NBA retiree mentioned Alabama's obesity problem specifically:

"I'm from Alabama and we really got some issues with obesity...." Barkley said.

"One of the highest obesity rates in the country," Roberts interjected.

"And I really want this thing to take off in Alabama. And I want to put as many people on the bandwagon as I possibly can," he said.

Barkley says he wants manly men to know they can still eat pizza, steak and meatballs on Weight Watchers --- they just have to add more veggies to the mix.

Still, he won't lie about it: Cauliflower tastes like chalk.

"But if you put parmesan cheese on it, it tastes like a cheesy chalk," he said.
