Ali is a Big Loser

Actually, Ali is the biggest loser.  In tonight’s season finale of The Biggest Loser Couples, Ali did something no female has done since the show’s inception.  She won!  And I have to say it’s about time that a female took top honors.

When the show started, Ali weighed a whopping 234 pounds.  In a few short months, she dropped 112 pounds (or 47.86 percent of her weight).  It was amazing and inspiring.  At one point, this girl was eliminated from the show.  When she walked away, she proclaimed that she would be the biggest loser — she was right. 

Eventually, she was given an opportunity to compete and win her way back onto the show.  Once she made it back, she was a fierce competitor.  Her dedication paid off.  As the winner, she will take home the $250,000 grand prize, but she has gained more than that.  She has gained a healthy lifestyle and a confidence that will stay with her for the rest of her life. 

Many of the contestants lost over 100 pounds.  The transformations were staggering.  It just goes to show that it can be done.  It’s not impossible, but it requires dedication and hard work  — A LOT of dedication and hard work.  A good trainer helps too (I can’t begin to tell you how much I love Bob and Jillian.  It would be amazing to train with them.)

One of the great things about this show is that it motivates people to live healthier lifestyles.  Not only have the participants lost weight, but they have learned how to eat correctly and exercise right.  They are in better shape than I am.  This inspires me.  It also reminds me…I need to get my butt to the gym.

Anyway, I’d like to say “congrats Ali”!  You are an inspiration to females around the world.  Wear the title of the first female “biggest loser” proudly.  You deserve it.
