the biggest loser said i am a whole new woman


The Biggest Loser: ‘I am a whole new woman' - MSNBC
-------------------------------------------------------

April 16: Ali Vincent, who shed 112 pounds to become the first-ever female winner of weight-loss competition "The Biggest Loser," visits TODAY with trainer Jillian Michaels to share her inspiring story.

Ali Vincent reveals a new formula to the world, after winning season five of NBC's “The Biggest Loser” on Tuesday night. The hairdresser from Mesa, Ariz., lost more than half her body weight, but gained a whole new perspective on life.

Vincent, 32, started the show tipping the scales at 234 pounds and ended it weighing 122 pounds. Although her overall weight loss of 112 pounds was less than second-place Roger Schultz (164 pounds), “The Biggest Loser” winner is determined by weight-loss percentage.

She decided to try out for “The Biggest Loser” with her mother, Bette-Sue Burkland. Despite some early success, Vincent and her mom were voted off the show in the fourth episode.

Vincent, however, remained undaunted.

Fortunately for Vincent, the show, in an unforeseen twist, was bringing her back.

Even better for her, she lost 33 more pounds on her own — while no longer a contestant for the show.

And Vincent was in for the long haul.

Vincent pocketed $250,000 for her losing ways. After taking a red-eye flight from California to New York, one of the first things she saw was a copy of USA Today with a “Got Milk?” ad featuring her chiseled self.

Vincent hopes her dramatic weight loss will put her in a better position to achieve her goal of becoming a platform artist for a large corporation. Until then, she is enjoying her role as an inspirational figure for those looking to lose weight.

See the amazing transformations and pounds shed by the season five contestants.

History is made on "Biggest Loser," with Ali becoming the first female contestant to ever win this weight-loss TV show. While she took home the title and the $250,000 prize. Bernie of the Biggest Loser Club team won $100,000 for losing the most weight of all the eliminated players.
