“I weighed 122 pounds for about 2.2 seconds of my life. I took a drink of water after I won, and I didn’t weigh that again.”
–2008 Biggest Loser winner Ali Vincent
We all wonder what happens to contestants after the show. Ali was the first female to win the title of Biggest Loser having gone from 234 to 122 pounds, and has since gained back 50 pounds. This breaks my heart, as the reality of maintaining weight loss is a tough one, especially when you lose all that weight in a controlled environment and then have to go back out into the real world.
If only we could all commit to tuning in and taking care of our health, making wise food choices, getting our daily exercise and asking ourselves “What am I really hungry for?” perhaps we could all find a more peaceful balance in our lives. Perhaps.

It is simply said……….portion control! Also, it is a mindset…..so just do it.

She was just at an event in Plantation last weekend. I didn’t attend, but I saw some pictures and she looks great. I certainly am not seeing 80 lbs (maybe 20 though).
Where did you see / hear that she is 80 pounds up ?
My mistake, Carol. I should have typed 50 pounds so I will go back and fix that. I read it in an article that was about her appearance in Plantation at the Live Well Expo. It says she is trying to drop the 50 pounds she gained and is documenting her journey on a new show that airs 8:30 pm Saturdays. Maybe the show has been on for a while and she has already dropped some of the weight?? It definitely says 50. Missed you last night.
