“The Biggest Loser” Winner Ali Vincent Loses 112 Pounds - First Woman to Win
Although we may associate diet, exercise and weight loss success stories with women, this year’s “The Biggest Loser” winner, Ali Vincent, is the first woman ever to win the competition.
Ali bested the boys — and conventional wisdom — to become the very first female to proudly call herself “The Biggest Loser.”
Fans had a big say in the outcome of tonight’s live finale on NBC: They voted online to decide whether Mark or Roger should be the third finalist to compete for the prize along with Ali and Kelly. The thinking going into the evening was that a victory for Roger — the former football player who started the game at 363 lbs. — would mean defeat for Ali because Roger still had so much weight to lose.
But conventional wisdom was dead wrong.
Roger reached the finals, but conceded that he’d hit a plateau when he and the other contestants left “The Biggest Loser” ranch and continued to work on their own at home in advance of tonight’s final weigh-in. In all, he lost 164 lbs., or 45.18% of his body weight.

Ali, too, conceded some challenges — including late-night visits to the freezer for a frozen yogurt fix.
But in the end, her “warrior mentality” — dating back to her days as a championship synchronized swimmer — served her well. Ali entered the game at 234 lbs. Looking trim, toned and plenty confident, she needed to lose only 105 lbs. to upset Roger — and she handily passed that benchmark as she weighed in at 122 lbs. In all, she lost 112 lbs., or 47.86% of her body weight.
And there’s another number staring back at Ali: She takes home $250,000 for her troubles. (More.)
Yes, Breakfast Is Essential, But Beware the 1,335 Calorie Omelette
We expect lunch and dinner entrees at casual restaurants will be calorie laden, and indeed they are. But the trouble starts with the appetizers: Outback’s Aussie Cheese Fries has 2,900 calories, according to a report in Men’s Health Magazine: 16 Secrets the Restaurant Industry Doesn’t Want You to Know.
Where to find — and avoid! — the 1,335 calorie omelette? IHOP.
Thankfully, not all the news is bad. Read the Restaurant Report Card and find some remarkably acceptable “A” choices. (And be amazed by how and why some restaurants got the failing grade.)
Study: Want to Maintain Your Weight? Get Plenty of Sleep.
Although it is well known in bodybuilding circles that adequate sleep is crucial to maintain (or lose) body fat, the our sleep deprived mainstream has been a bit slow in catching on.
Sleeping for eight hours a night is the secret to not putting weight on, according to scientists.
They found that those who slept for less than six hours a night - or more than nine - put on more weight than those who slept for seven or eight hours each night.
The research published in the Journal Sleep found those who did not get enough sleep gained almost 4.4lbs (2kg) compared to those who slept for the recommended number of hours.
Those who had too much sleep gained 1.58 kilos (1.58kg) more than those who slept for the recommended number of hours over six years.
Short sleepers were 27 per cent more likely to become obese and long sleepers were 21 per cent more likely than those had an average night’s sleep.
The research also found that things were worse for people who got less sleep as they were 35 per cent more likely to gain 11lbs (5kg) over six years than those who had seven or eight hours sleep. (More.)
