More About This Book

Overview

When Ali Vincent became a contestant on the hit NBC show The Biggest Loser, her weight was at an all-time high, and she was at an all-time high, and she was at an all-time low. Like millions of Americans, Ali struggled for years with poor eating habits, stress, and low self-esteem. After years of feeling afraid, ashamed, and unworthy, she resolved to change her life, once and for all.

In Believe It, Be It Ali reveals the intimate details of her inner and outer transformation and provides a rare glimpse inside life at the famous Biggest Loser ranch. She also shares the weight-loss strategies, eating habits, and workout tips that have helped her lose-and keep off-more than 100 pounds. The road to a happier, healthier, fuller life starts with the belief that you deserve it. Believe it-and be it.

Editorial Reviews

Publishers Weekly
As the first female winner of TV’s The Biggest Loser, Vincent lost 112 pounds, about 47% of her body weight. As she explains, she shed unhealthy habits and gained an enthusiastic approach to life. She writes, “[I]t’s an accomplishment that fuels all of my future goals.” Vincent’s story is one that will be familiar to readers: someone who, despite being an athletic, popular high schooler, by her early 30s was “just kind of letting life happen to me—I didn’t feel worthy of wanting anything more for myself.” Once she became a contestant on the show (with her mother as her partner), she wanted to win; she shares her strategies for losing weight, navigating the show and engaging more in life. Readers looking to slim down will find lots of helpful tidbits. They’re not revolutionary (“don’t let the scale rule your life,” “don’t get in a workout rut”), and though Vincent’s penchant for platitudes can be grating, her earnestness and enthusiasm is clear. Includes recipes and before-and-after photos. (Dec.)

    Great Read!

    My respect for the first female Biggest Loser is sincere. This book has many inspritional stories from a woman with a vision. The journey on the show is only part of her story. This is really worth the read?
