Marion Bartoli's dramatic weight loss

Marion  Bartoli's dramatic weight loss

Marion Bartoli

 is no longer a roly poly.

After a diet for three years

she's much thinner than before,

and having managed to lose two stones*

 now seems hardly more 

than skin and bones.

Now though much  more shapely,

has she done so safely?

That's what tennis  fans want to know

and she claims, " Yes,it's  indeed so",

because about her body she's always been wise

and has been careful to always get plenty of exercise

during her  3 years  without sugar, dairy, gluten and salt

with never a thought of a chocolate malt.

  • The stone or stone weight is an English and imperial unit of weight now equal to 14 pounds. England and other Germanic-speaking countries of northern Europe formerly used various standardized "stones" for trade, with their values ranging from about 5 to 40 local pounds depending on the location and objects weighed. The United Kingdom's imperial system adopted the wool stone of 14 pounds in 1835.

Tennis fans express their shock at Marion Bartoli's dramatic weight loss

Marion Bartoli's extreme weight loss has prompted a number of tennis fans to express their concern for the former Wimbledon champion's health.

The French tennis star has lost over two stones in weight over a three year period thanks to a combination of strict dieting and exercise.

Bartoli found herself at the centre of controversy three years ago when she was disparagingly described as 'never going to be a looker' by BBC tennis presenter, John Inverdale.

Inverdale apologised for the comments which were made during an interview on BBC Five Live ahead of Bartoli's Wimbledon final against Sabine Lasicki.

Bartoli shrugged off the offensive description saying the comments "didn't matter," but the 31-year-old has since undergone a dramatic physical transformation which some people have described as "unhealthy."

A diet without sugar, gluten, dairy and salt has helped Bartoli achieve her new shape. Bartoli was in attendance at the French Open in her capacity as tennis broadcaster for French television and fans took to Twitter to voice their shock at her new slender appearance.
