Ali Vincent to compete in her first IRONMAN

It's one thing to lose weight and get fit, and another to stay there and continue to improve. The following announcement crossed my email today, and I have to say, "Way to go" to Ali Vincent, the winner of "The Biggest Loser"  season five and the competition's first female winner.

Now, five years later, she's making good on the promise she made to herself and fans across America. At the time, Vincent said she would either be married with kids or have completed her first IRONMAN.

On November 25, Ali is making good on her promise and competing in her first IRONMAN competition at the Ford IRONMAN in Cozumel, Mexico. The race consists of a 2.4-mile swim, 112-mile bicycle ride and a marathon 26.2-mile run.

Since winning the weight-loss competition show, Ali has dedicated her life to spreading the message of health and fitness and, as part of that, hosts LIVE BIG WITH ALI VINCENT (the Live Well Network).

Vincent started training at the beginning of 2012 using an online program, but discovered her busy life needed a more tailored approach. Since June she  has been working with Coach Sonja Wieck.

Her experience will be shown an episode of LIVE BIG WITH ALI VINCENT that will air in early 2013 on the Live Well Network.

“While I’m anxious to tackle the biggest physical challenge of my life, I’m excited to share the experience with my Live Big fans,” said Ali.
