Ali Vincent-- Biggest Loser

The 2008, fifth-season winner of The Biggest Loser, Ali Vincent, tirelessly greeted fans and signed autographs last night at Barnes and Noble in Friendly Center. Our Barnes and Noble works diligently to bring authors and to host community events. In this case, Ali was selling copies of her book, Believe It, Be It, right and left, and the public had a chance to meet this inspirational person. Ali lost 112 pounds and has managed to keep her weight off. Her book is subtitled, The Biggest Loser Won Me Back My Life.

Our photo doesn't do Alo justice, her dress was really an energetic pink and when she smiled, her beautiful white teeth lit up the room. Still, we were happy to have been part of this event. If we were really journalists (and not just a mom and pop blog), we would ask Ali, a Mormon from Mesa Arizona, if she knows Stephanie Nielson, also a Mormon with ties to Arizona, and if she had the opportunity to meet Greensboro author and fellow Mormon, Orson Scott Card.

not really a fan of the biggest loser, all we got here are re-runs, but good to know that someone from greensboro was a part of it and even publish her own book. ^0^

I am so disappointed you did not go to Grand Rapids , MI and get me some pictures from Sarah "Barracuda" Palin's opening book signing yesterday - this picture is trite compared to those and she is the biggest loser.

Good for her, I'm not a fan of the show with the overdeveloped dramas, but am a fan of anyone who can lose that kind of weight and keep it off! And good for Sarah Palin too, it was a good week for booksellers everywhere.

PFKNC, we'll leave discussions of politicians to you and our other readers. We'd better stick to photographing the Piedmont Triad, and not western Michigan, if we want to live up to our name. Thanks for the comment.
