For Immediate Release

LOS ANGELES, CA - June 8, 2006 - Los Angeles-based Globat.com® , the world-leader in Performance Web Hosting™, today announced that it is sponsoring the weight loss program of a Missouri woman. Asia Francis, a 21-year-old resident of St. Louis, gave birth to a baby girl, Samiah Wynn Francis, on March 18th, 2006 at Barnes-Jewish St. Peters Hospital in St. Peters, Missouri. Samiah's birth, which was also sponsored by Globat.com, attracted worldwide media attention and made both mother and child instant Internet celebrities.

Asia, who is 5'3" and had a pre-pregnancy weight of 120 lbs., reached a whopping 185 lbs. during her pregnancy. In order to shed her baby fat, Asia is participating in a 60-day rigorous weight loss program. She admits that, "I, like many other women, have the biggest fear of not being able to lose the "After Birth" weight." However, with motivation from Globat.com, Asia is not only determined to "squeeze into my pre-pregnancy pants," but also "about being able to zip them."

"Losing weight is no easy task, but we know Asia can do it!" said Ben R. Neumann, President and CEO of Globat.com. "We hope that our participation keeps her motivated and gets her back in those jeans!"

Asia will be wearing Globat.com items during the 60 day period and will be tracking her progress in an exclusive weight loss blog on DefyingGravity.com.

Attracting media attention world-wide, Globat.com has recently launched a wave of very unique sponsorships and events such as a hamburger eating challenge and a sponsored birth under the banner of "Defying Gravity," with the ultimate goal to launch at least one such special event in each of the 50 states.
