When Ali Vincent was selected to be a contestant on the NBC show The Biggest Loser, her weight was at an all-time high of 234 pounds-and her life had reached an all-time low. Like millions of Americans, Ali struggled for years with poor eating habits, family problems, stress, and low self-esteem. After years of being afraid, ashamed, and unhappy, she resolved to change her life, once and for all: To lose weight, get healthy, and pursue her dreams.

In her bedroom at The Biggest Loser ranch, Ali rang a little bell she kept on her bedside table each night before she went to sleep and again when she awoke in the morning, repeating the phrase that had become her mantra: Believe it, be it. Seven months later, she emerged from the grueling competition as its first-ever female champion, claiming the title and the grand prize and most of all-winning back her life.

Ali will talk about her personal and physical transformation and provide a rare glimpse inside life at the famous Biggest Loser ranch on Nov. 11 at 7:30 p.m. at Barnes & Noble, 395 Rt. 3 East in Clifton, N.J.

She'll also share the weight-strategies, eating habits, and workout tips that helped her lose-and keep off-more than 100 pounds.
