Jenny Craig's New Spokesperson is Ross "the Intern" Mathews

Ross Mathews, better known as "Ross the Intern," is Jenny Craig's newest spokesperson, reports People.

The "Chelsea Lately" comic, who realized he needed to take control of his eating habits after finding that none of his shirts fit his 220-pound body, has lost 25 pounds and 13 inches since joining Jenny Craig in January -- a step that was largely prompted by his friend Sara Rue's 50-pound weight loss on the program.

Mathews told People that he was "a roly-poly kid," and "wasn't armed with the knowledge of how to eat." He just assumed that thin people were lucky, never realizing that most of them weren't consuming loads of junk food on a daily basis like he was.

While he has 15 more pounds to go before reaching his goal weight, Mathews is already feeling great about his progress -- and rightfully so. Not only did he feel confident enough to go snorkeling -- shirtless! -- in Puerta Vallerta, but the weight loss was even noticed by a certain supermodel.

"The hottest people in the world are everywhere I turn. It's been a little bit intimidating. But I saw Heidi Klum at the Elton John Oscar party," he told People. "She said, 'You look good. Have you lost weight?'"
