Well, we have a winner…and she’s female!
Moments ago, Ali became the first female winner ever on NBC’s The Biggest Loser. With a total of 112 pounds dropped in a 6 month period, Ali does not look the teensiest bit like her old self. She now looks fit, healthy and happy as can be.
The thing that strikes me most about Ali is her “In It To Win It” attitude. She said she was going to be the first female Biggest Loser, and by golly, she was. That seems to be a key to long-term weight loss. You have to become the person you want to be, instead of just thinking of becoming that person. To do so, of course, takes effort each day, one day at a time. Small things here and there add up to make a giant difference. And while it’s unlikely that the majority of us will ever go through the intensive training that the Biggest Loser contestants did, it is comforting and inspiring to know that every little bit of exercise we eek out, every cookie we skip is all adding up toward one important goal.
So congratulations to Ali for her amazing success and her staggering win! And best wishes to all of you who are on your weight loss journey. Just remember, keep at it and your day will surely come.
First!
Ali, pride on three: one, two, three: PRIDE!!!! Congratulations Ali!!
I was absolutely amazed at the difference after watching the finale last night. Now THAT is dedication! Really inspiring. I really want this show not to be a fad but to really cause change in the country. It’s great that these people can go to a ranch and make those life changes – now we need to remind everyone else about the tools at their disposal to do the same things in their own lives. Go Ali!
She did an awesome job and deserved to win. Congrats.
