Who is Ali? (Bio)

Alison "Ali" Vincent was once an outgoing and beautiful girl trapped inside her own body. This former champion synchronized swimmer found herself smothering beneath the weight that had piled on as an adult. Working as a hairdresser in high-end salons was a constant reminder of the dissatisfaction she experienced with her weight.

As a contestant on NBC's hit reality show The Biggest Loser, Ali embodied the idea of "Believe it, Be it," her personal mantra throughout the show. As a result of her hard work and unwavering commitment to herself and the process she has set the record for most weight released during the filming of the show by a woman contestant (99 pounds!) and is poised to achieve her dream of becoming the first ever WOMAN Biggest Loser.

Ali feels strongly about sharing what she has learned through her experience with TBL and has plans to create a non-profit foundation to support young girls and women in getting appropriate nutrition and exercise information as well as learning how to feel beautiful in their own skin.
