Review # 1 was written on 2010-10-07 00:00:00 Andrea Taylor-miner I had higher expectations for this book - perhaps expecting greater insight into Ali's life and the behind the scenes of the Biggest Loser. And though we did get some of that, the writing and the details came off as superficial. A tease of what could have been shared without the oomph to back it up. I also felt that the health tips that were shared were common sense - again I felt a bit let down. What I will say is that Ali appears to be a very positive person who is looking for ways to leave her mark on the world and society. She wants to make a difference. She feels she can make a difference. And that I believe. This is a very quick read - I finished it in half a day.

Review # 2 was written on 2009-12-30 00:00:00 Robert Gordon Ali Vincent won fame as the first female winner of the Biggest Loser television show by losing nearly half her body weight over the course of 6 months. In this memoir, she takes the reader through her childhood and behind the scenes of reality television. Her relentlessly perky attitude is clearly meant to inspire the reader to take charge of her (or his) own life and make changes, but the book suffers from the repetitiveness of her exhortations. Vincent is also obviously reluctant to share certain parts of her life, hinting at details she never states outright, probably to protect her privacy and that of her loved ones. There just isn't much substance to this memoir, though it's a nice pick-me-up for those in the dieting doldrums.
