Funnyman Ricky Gervais and longtime girlfriend Jane Fallon have lost a total of 40 pounds together through diet and exercise. According to People, the pair say they run about three or four miles daily. While Gervais claims that the 20 pounds or so that he has lost was made possible with little change to his diet, Fallon tells us that he must not be aware of the change in her cooking habits. “He didn’t realize that I was probably feeding him less calories at the same time he was running,” she says. By eating healthy versions of “fat things” and exercising together, Fallon has lost 18 pounds and Gervais, 22 pounds. Perhaps with that kind of dual motivation, we’ll be seeing the two running the Boston Marathon.
