Where Is Ali Vincent Now? Inside “The Biggest Loser ”Winner’s Life Since the Show (and Why She Isn’t in the New Documentary)

Ali Vincent, the iconic winner of ‘The Biggest Loser’ in 2008, has had a tumultuous journey since her triumph on the reality show. Vincent, who was the first woman to be crowned the champion of the controversial weight-loss series, reflected on her experience in a YouTube video from April 2023. She expressed that despite the challenges and emotional struggles she faced, participating in the show had a profound impact on her life.

At the beginning of her season, Vincent weighed 234 lbs. and ended it at 122 lbs., shedding an impressive 47% of her body weight. Her transformation inspired many viewers, but in 2016, she disclosed on Facebook that she had regained most of the weight she had lost during the show. The emotional toll of a past traumatic experience, a sexual assault during a massage, contributed to her weight gain, as revealed by Vincent during an episode of Oprah: Where Are They Now? in October 2016.

Following her victory on ‘The Biggest Loser’, Vincent continued to engage with audiences through her own television series, ‘Live Big with Ali Vincent’, and authored a book titled ‘Believe It, Be It: How Being the Biggest Loser Won Me Back My Life’ in 2009. Moreover, she ventured into the world of podcasts with ‘Weighing In With Ali’ in April 2023, where she candidly discusses her battles with weight loss and self-confidence.

Vincent, who is now a mother of three, shares a daughter and twin boys with her wife, Jen. She has shared her journey of building a family, including going through IVF to conceive her twins and the adoption process for their daughter. Her social media presence reflects her joy and pride in her family, as she often discusses the importance of self-love and acceptance within her household.

Despite her ups and downs, Vincent has remained a vocal advocate for ‘The Biggest Loser’. In a 2016 appearance on Oprah: Where Are They Now, she defended the show against allegations of contestant mistreatment and drug use. Refuting claims made by a fellow contestant, Vincent emphasised that no one was coerced or forced into any practices on the show during her season.

When Netflix released ‘Fit for TV: The Reality of the Biggest Loser’ in 2025, Vincent opted out of participating in the documentary due to contract negotiations and personal reasons. While she was initially in talks with the documentary team, she chose not to be interviewed for the project. After watching the documentary, she expressed relief in her decision, describing it as ‘boring’ and filled with ‘poor me stories’.

Ali Vincent’s journey post-‘The Biggest Loser’ has been a rollercoaster of highs and lows, but she continues to inspire with her resilience and determination. Through her various endeavours in media and her open discussion of personal struggles, Vincent embodies the essence of overcoming challenges and embracing self-acceptance.
