Bette-Sue,
I predicted that you,Mark,and Paul would make it to the finale.Did you think that you would of won if my prediction came true?
Ali,I thought that if everyone except you,Jay, and Kelly got eliminated you would win, Do you agree with me?

Hi Ali,
You looked fabulous out on the town in Australia...who makes that shirt/dress? I noticed a few others were interested as well... LOVED IT! Great job!!!

I'm just wondering how you lost your "belly fat". Did you have surgery?

Our family believed you both were beautiful from week 1! What was the first thing you wanted to do after losing the weight that you couldn't do before BL?

Would you do this all over again? It looked like a lot of fun but I have to think it was also pretty stressful!

Has this made your relationship stronger?

You both look great! I was wondering how much you exercise at home? I had read somewhere that at the ranch you worked out about 6 hours a day. How did that fitness routine translate to home/work life?

Ali: You are an inspiration to me. What is the first thing you're going to do when the show is over?

Ali, you look fabulous. I'm rooting for you to win.

Keep up the good work and healthy life style. You'll never regret it.

Hi ali, just need to know how did look so good so quick, and get your wt down there. thats what i am trying to do, what kept you in tack to be so determined each and day to stay focused without falling off the wagon. i work out with a personal trainer 2 times a wk and working out hard on the other days, need some inspiring words from you ali, i am follower of you,please email me back for encouragement, a great fan of yours ali

debbiespunky@aol.com

you're able to take what you have learned at the ranch and applied it at home. You were able to motivated yourself without anyone there to reminded you of your commitment, that's what I admired about you. Now you have an opportunity to give back, please tell us in details what your secrets? How can a regular person at home achieve the same result??

Bette Sue and Ali,
what a wonderful team to be on the Biggest Loser. I cried when you cried and I laughed when you laughed. You both are so real and it reminds me of the weight that I am trying to take off. After my 38 year old daughter passed away, I started over-eating and didn't stop until, this season on Biggest Loser.I watched the two of you togeather and knew that I had to do the same. Lose it!! I now exercise at home, eat what I should eat, and watch Biggest Loser every Tuesday night. If you have any suggestions for me, I would sure appreciate them. Thanks for being you. Nancy

ali you did great before you left the last timeyou left but this is great you are back and hope you dont leave before the final:) hey something else ali that was nice of you to carry mark across he finish line when he waited for you and you both won

Ali, I want to know exactly what you have been doing in the past few weeks (exact diet and exact exercise plan). So many people struggle to loose weight once they get to your current weight - it is shocking to see a 6 lb loss at 155 to 149 when you have already been losing so regularly. Please share with us your regime - and I mean real details! You are an inspiration to so many!!

At the ranch it became evident that the two of you had issues from long ago that needed to be worked out. When those issues were brought up did you take time to work through them? Do you think that working through the past and the angst had anything to do with your incredible weight loss?

Since I became a CNA, I have been doing a lot of walking which does help. Unfortunately sometimes I get really tired and feel tempted to eat sweets just to keep my energy up. Would you recommend using cheese sticks or protein bars - for energy?

i love you ali you are one of my favorite people from the biggest loser

Hi Ali, You are looking so great that we can't help but be inspired. Many of us at the biggest loser site on ivillage are experimenting with BMR and are wondering how many calories you are eating at around 150 lbs. We understand that you are working HARD to work off the fat... but the show leaves many questions for us regarding calorie amounts and I don't believe you are eating your weight times 7 (like the BL book) if you work out as much as you do! Thank you for the help! Julie

I just loved you guys especially Bette Sue you helped me as you remind you of me and I can relate. We are around the same age and weight.
Wondering though when you are on the biggest looser what do you do about your job and income. I would love to try out for the biggest looser but wondered about that part of it.
Ali you have done just a wonderful job I am so happy for you. I know how it is to always want the goal and never reaching it, I think you will be the biggest looser.

Hey you two! My mother and I are short [under 5'5"] and over 200 lbs. Mum's in her 40s, and I'm relatively young yet. How were the two of you able to support each other, while still maintaining your own personal needs? [For example, my mother has fibromyalgia, and I have... something else that the doctors can't find. How could we get our junk together and get healthy?] Thanks so much for reading, and good luck, both of you!

hi jillian is a better trainer than bob or kim put towgether

Bette-Sue and/or Ali: I have a lot of water gain/bloating during my time of the month. I'm 52 and still having this issue. So, you can guess my question: How do women deal menstrual weight gain during the game?

Thank you!

You people who hate Ali and her mom can't spell. Your level of intelligence is appearant in your posts. My 8 year old can spell better than you. Further, nothing you said made sense. I had to really think to figure out what you were trying to say. I am not sure if that is texting talk for kids but that is why American kids are stupid compared to the rest of the world.

GO ALI! I hope you are the first biggest loser.

You are all very inspiring...
The best to all of you.

Hi! Ali I was just wondering you have done so wondful when you got home that when you competed to get back on the show you loss an additional 30 pounds at home...How many hours a day did you work out once you got home? You look fantastic! and Bette-Sue you too!!! I just love you guys!

This question is for Ali, what would you say is the primary change that you have made in your life that led you to your amazing weight loss and will help you maintain it? What is the main difference between yourself and your Mom with regard to the Biggest Loser challenge?

Betty Sue,You have inspired me so since I am your age and I think you are fabulous! You go girl, and Ali, How did you lose your belly fat and was it the last to go? YOU LOOK SUPER AND I THINK YOU SHOULD WIN THIS,
GOD BLESS BOTH OF YOU,,I have one question,,How did you get thru the beginning regarding the cravings??

Ali,
What did you do at home to lose so much weight? You look FABULOUS!

I have a question for Ali,
Your transformation is amazing, obviously the physical transformation was only part of your journey. What have you done mentally to change?
The majority of your transformation took place at home without a trainer and with lots of temptations that occur in every day life. What kind of goals did you set for yourself in order for you to stay focused on the larger picture and how did you handle set backs?

I have a feeling that one of these two women won, why would they have this blog just for Bette-Sue & Ali and none of the other BL Couples?

Food for thought...ooh, that was mean, something for thought ~ that's better!

Hey... I live in Gilbert... and I noticed that Ali's biggest food devil is a cheese crisp... would that be a cheese crisp from nando's?? Because that happens to be my biggest downfall!!! You go girl... you have kicked butt and I am right here to root you on!

thats an interesting thought, but the finale is live. nobody knows who will win yet.

thats an interesting thought, but the finale is live. nobody knows who will win yet.

For most of us who have gained weight, there are personal issues that led to that gain. Have you dealt with those issues so you don't gain the weight back? Does the show help you deal with those personal issues?

I was wondering if Ali, when she was voted off and went home, What a typical day was like as far as diet and exercise, what did you do, what did you eat and how did you keep on track? You look so good!!!

WOW! Ali, you are looking great. It is hard to believe the transformation on every one on the shoe, but you knocked it out of the park.

I am also curious as to how you lost it at home and got back on the show. I hope you win it all.

Ali,
You are a true inspiration. You have done so well and I personally am proud of you. It has been a great experience watching all of you on the show this year. What is the pattern of life you will lead to keep this off?

you are the best to me. i bet you will win the biggest loser. my family watches it every tuesday

it is me again. I just can't stand it, you guys are my favorite team. :) You are definitly gonna win

it is me again. I just can't stand it, you guys are my favorite team. :) You are definitly gonna win

Ali,

Your transformation is beautiful! I weigh as much as you did. My question for you is, how were you able to lose all your weight and not have any access skin? Was it cardio/weight combo? If so, how did you balance it? I'm afraid of losing weight because of my arms and stomach fat and afraid there would be too much flab... I would love to have arms like you do. I have to lose weight if my husband and I ever want to have a baby... any advice you can give me because after three years of trying for a baby, I'm ready to be a mother. You look wonderful! Again, Congrats!

I would like to know what foods and exercises that you did differently from weeks 13 to 15

I am curious as the weight loss was so different in those 2 weeks

Ali,

Congratulations! You look amazing! You are truly an inspiration.

Ali...I hope you win, you deserve it. Actually, everyone is a winner but I wan't you to be the biggest loser. THEN, stop losing weight Ali...you're almost too skinny! Your musles are ripping, girl!
BTW...PLEASE tell me where you found that lace top that you were on this past show.

I was wondering Ali if you could ask Alison if they were thinking of making a Teen Biggest Loser. I would love to participate in it if they did one.

ALI,
U LOOK AWESOME AND I HOPE U WIN THE BIGGEST LOSER ( 1ST FEMALE WINNER)!!!!

HOW MANY HOURS DID U EXERCISE ON THE SHOW AND AT HOME TO LOOSE 99 LBS?
THANK YOU!!!

I liked Ali and BetteSue from week one. What spunk from them both.
Since Ali's return to the ranch, I have been cheering her on every week, and now to start looking more into profiles........a hairdresser. UNREAL> I know exactly what she has given up to be able to pursue this.
I have spent the last 20 years saying "it's not fat, its a hairball" from eating those fast food 30 second lunches in a salon all day every day.
Personally, I am down about 20 pounds myself in the last couple of months, and i will not stop now.
Ali, you are an inspiration, and if you need contacts to continue with your dream, I do have the manufacturer contacts:-)

You go girl!!!! We love you in South Carolina

You are THE BIGGEST LOOSER

ALI: I was watching you on the show today and heard you say that you never liked wearing sleeveless shirts, what did you do on the show to have such thin arms now? And how much exercise should I be doing?

Ali! You Go Girl!!You are amazing and such an inspiration! Keep it up! Michigan loves you too!

Hi Ali, what are your plans for the future as the new you?
I can certainly identify with what you said about not liking yourself and being lost inside. You have truely inspired me, both you and Mark as well with your stick to it game plan to lose weight, and oh yeah, you are definitely a beautiful 10+, if your ever in the Chicago area, allow me to take you to dinner, it would be a treat to meet you and have some of your success rub off on me.
Take Care and God Bless.
Steven

Hey Ali!
I think you are simply incredible and inspiring! I hope you win the Biggest Loser finale! Are you single?
If so, would you think about going out with me? I wish I had someone like you in my life.

Much love,
David

Hi,

You are both an inspiration thank you for that. Just a quick question, My mom and i are both over weight, but i always feel embarrassed to tell anyone i'm on a diet or that i'm trying to loose weight. Because i Immediately feel like i'm being judged, even by my Mom who i know wants the best for me. Do you have any advice on how to get past this hurdle?

ALIIIIIIIIIIIIiiiiiiiiiii
Congratulations on gettinginto the finals! You go girl. You have been inspiring me. You look AMAZING. Got get that prize girl!!!!!!!!!!!!
Cheers,
Mari

Thanks, everybody, for your insightful questions. I'm really looking forward to interviewing this dynamic due tomorrow. How great was the show tonight?! 99 pounds so far for Ali...WOW. I'll be reporting back soon with answers to some of these Qs. Take care and do come visit us over at the Weighting Game!

Leslie

Ali looks and sounds like a girl I went to middle school with.....ask her if she went to Gordon Russell Middle School in Gresham Oregon...? She has the same scare my Ali had, we were such great buddies and I would like to know if it is the same Ali. I have not seen or heard from her since our 8th grade graduation back in 92. All and all Ali you are in it to win it! You Rock! Your mommy is so cute!

Ali,
you are a wonderful person just keep up the good
work and show those guys how it is done

Ali,
I was just wondering what your diet was like when you were able to loose all that weight this week? i am currently in the 150's and i used to be 135(prekids) and i am really struggling. How did you do it? I know you worked out like crazy, but what did you eat?

Bette Sue and Ali,
First of all, congratulations! You're both an inspiration to me! My question is primarily for Ali. When you were eliminated by the Yellow Team, what made you say that you would be the Biggest Loser? Did you know ahead of time that you would potentially be back in the game? Again, congrats to you both and go, Ali!

Hi Ali,

You look amazing and I love that you made so many changes for yourself. I have been watching season 5 from the beginning and it really hit home for me when you finally talked to Jillian about why your weight in those first couple of weeks and why it was as bad as it was. I wish I was as strong as you are because I dont like who I am. You are a great inspiration to me and I hope you win!

Thank you for showing me that there is hope.

Is this where we ask Ali questions? My question is simple. Ali, you are already so thin at 5'5 and 135 lbs. How much more weight can you possibly lose in order to become the first female Biggest Loser (which I do believe is an accomplishment you will achieve). I've watched every episode of The Biggest Loser (since it began) and I am in complete awe of you-a woman-breaking records-losing more percentage of weight than the guys (when guys naturally lose weight easier than women). Before tonight, I would not have thought it possible that you could lose 11 lbs in week 15 and kelly could lose 13. I'd believe it could happen in other weeks, but not the very last week! Do you even comprehend how inspirational you are to so many overwight women out here? Do you know how hard we will cheer if you actually win this season's finale and become the first ever female Biggest Loser?

Bette Sue & Ali, have you two become closer since your emotional week together on the show?

Susan, We have been watching the show every week for 15 weeks. We have seen Ali's transformation. How could Ali have had surgery? (I'm sure she would be disqualified from the show if anyone found out that when she went home (was eliminated) she had surgery done. When you do as much weight lifting and cardio as these amazing, Biggest Loser contestants do on a daily basis, you do not need to have surgury after you lose all your excess weight-you do not have all that excess skin that people who lose weight but do not weight train might have. You tone up everything while you are losing all your extra pounds of weight.

Two questions for Ali.

First is, during the last week on the ranch without the trainers and to lose the amount you did, did you stick to your calorie limit to a 't'? Second, since you have been losing weight over the past 15 weeks, has your calorie alloment stayed the same, increased or decreased?

Hi Ali,

My name is Melissa and you have inspired me to be a better me. First off I was wondering if you have a website for words of encouragment or anything like that or would you be willing to email me?

Thanks so much :)

Ali, You did it, Your arms are ripped. Congratulations Hope you win

Ali you did a wonderful job in loseing the weight, BUT you were kicked off along with Mark and I feel that you should have not been allowed to return. The show never said why you two were allowed back on. I sure would like to know. Sorry but my vote is for Kelly, let her be the first woman to win the biggest loser.

CONGRATULATIONS ALLIE AND KELLY!!!! YOU WON OVER THE BIG BOYS!!! KUDOS. YOU GALS ARE AWESOME!!!!!! KELLY WAS THE HEAVIEST FEMALE AND LOOK HOW GORGEOUS SHE IS NOW. ALLIE YOU ARE AN AMAZING WOMAN!!!! YOU ARE GOING TO BE THE FIRST FEMALE BIGGEST LOSER!!!

Ali, you are such an inspiration! On the week you came back (actually the week you left and said you were the biggest loser) my husband and I were just amazed by you, I have taken you as my personal inspiration, I have lost a total of 28 pounds so far and work out five days a week, you are just awesome and I really want and hope that you win

Betty Sue: I gained over 30 lbs through memo-pause and can't get rid of it (most in belly fat). I don't know if you have this problem, but did any of the DR.s on the show have any advice? Thanks - you both are terrific!!

WOULD LIKE TO PATRONIZE YOUR SALON. WHERE ARE YOU LOCATED?

Ali,
how in the world did you pull of the 11 lb loss this week? Unbleievable!!!! WOW! What did you do this week without your trainer to make this happen? You are a TRUE inspiration to us!!!! CHEERING FOR YOU 1000%
Jenn & Tara

Ali,
you are an inspiration to me and others like me. I'm 32 and 240 pounds can you tell me your diet and exercise plan. Ali you are the next BIGGEST LOSER.

Ali,
Wow, you look great. I want to lose 100 pounds. Can you give me any good exercises to do at home? I am not a member at a gym nor do I have time with a 2 year old. Please help!!

Ali,

I would like to know what type of program that you did after you went home the 1st time,because after you came back you already look great and now you look awsome!

Ali: Congratulations on losing 99 pounds! You look so awesome. I don't remember what goal you set for weight loss, but I know you'll make it, along with being the first female winner of the Biggest Loser!
Congratulations!

Ali, you look BEAUTIFUL, AMAZING, STUNNING:) I am hoping and praying that you will win this and become the FIRST FEMALE BIGGEST LOSER!!! Way to go:)

Hi Ali - I have to admit that I first did not think you would be long for the show, but you have shown determination and tenacity to win this and I believe in you!!! I have cried and laughed with you over the past few weeks and you are by far my favorite!!! This season has really touched me in a way no other has. You, Mark, Roger and Kelly appear to have a strong bond in friendship as well as being competitors and I have not seen that so much before this season. I am rooting for you to be the first female to win!! God bless you and be with you as you face the finals next week!

Anebelle

Hi! My husband and I watch the show sometimes, and we loved your can do attitudes and sweet spirits. Where does that come from with both of you? I'm sure there are successes in many parts of your lives because of that. What other goals have you set for after the show, after the return to a "normal life" that will be different than it ever has been?

Ali - you give me hope that a woman CAN be the biggest loser!

My question: What do you think was the pivotal moment for you during the season that changed your mindset from one of a fat person (i.e. "this is too hard") to "I can do this - I AM doing this!"??

ali i.m so happy for you and all the team

ali i.m so happy for you and all the team

Ali,,, All I can say is you go girl... win it all...You are really a insperation... keep up the wonderful work

Ali,
you look great, way to go,

Ali,
You are such an inspiration to me! You have encouraged me to trust myself again. I have loved watching you reach your goals and go through the entire journey it takes to do so!! That is why you will be the biggest loser!! Intention mechanism!! I am counting the minutes to watch you shine in your so deserved glory! Love, Melissa F.

Ali, way to go!!!. I hope you are the biggest loser. You seem like such a nice person and a very attractive to boot. North Carolina is pulling for you.

Ali, way to go!!!. I hope you are the biggest loser. You seem like such a nice person and a very attractive to boot. North Carolina is pulling for you.

WOW! When the show first aires you try to imagine how you guys will look in 15 weeks. I thought there was no way you could loose that much weight, but imagined you still beautiful and some what thinner. WOW! Was I wrong or what? The will power you have is amazing. You are just gorgeous. Watching the video at the end of last nights show was unreal. I would have never imagined this transformation! I voted for mark to help with your advantage in winning biggest loser. Hope it helps. Good luck girly!

ALI:

You look amazing!!! I need a little help can you give me some ideas on what to eat? I got one of those cookbooks but all that stuff takes lots of time to prepare when your working, sports with my son and etc. That book didn't help me at all. I weight 186 but need to lose about 36 more pounds PLEASE HELP WITH SUGGESTIONS.

Melissa

Ali, I saw it with my own eyes, so I have to believe that you did it-lost 11 lbs during your final week on the ranch-what I NEED to understnad is this: How is it possible? How can one human being (especially a woman as thin as you already are) lose 11 lbs in one week? The first week that all of you contestants lose weight a lot of what you lose is water weight. Even average people (like me) lose a lot of water weight during our first week of dieting. But, 15 weeks into your diet and exercise program, you are not losing water-you are losing fat! The average person does not have the time to exercise 6 hours per day (like you guys do at the ranch). We can't hope to achieve what you did in such a short amount of time, but we can be extremely curious as to how it is even possible to lose that much weight in one week? You also weight train and change fat into muscle (and muscle weighs more than fat). This means that you and kelly(and the guys too) actually lost even more weight than we at home even realize. It just blows my mind. I know that other people (besides myself) want to know how this feat is even humanly possible? Before watching every episode of this show for the past five seasons, I never would have believed a person could lose so much weight in just one week (when that person was no longer heavy at all). Extremely heavy people lose a lot of weight quickly because they have a lot to lose-then the weight loss slows down (as we have seen with you Biggest Loser contstants). But what caused this dramatic weight loss (for all of you) so late in this game? You didn't even have your trainers this week, and this all just blows my mind!

Ali,
I think that I was about your size a week ago or so during the show. I weigh 147 and can't lose the last 10 pounds. How did you have a 11 pound weight loss week? Can you please share your secrets.

BETTE SUE & ALI YOU'RE BOTH AN INSPIRATION TO ME. GOD BLESS ALL OF THE BIGGEST LOSER CONTSANTS. THANK YOU NBC!!! ALI YOU SAID IT BEST YOU ARE THE BIGGEST LOSER, CONGRATULATIONS--- ALI WISH WITH YOUR HEART; DREAM WITH YOUR SOUL.( REMEMBER A TRUE CHAMPION IS A DREAMER THAT REFUSED TO GIVE UP.) DREAMS ARE WHISPERS FROM YOUR SOUL!!! YOU ALL HAVE BEEN A BLESSING TO ME. THANK YOU-- ROSIE ADEN CLINTON IOWA

I am hoping Ali wins I have always watched the show and really connected with Ali and using my wieght to hide n=behind i am just finding out I am worthit anyhow you guys look great and good luck!

WOW Girl! I am so glad you showed the guys up. I am praying that you will be the BIGGEST LOSER!
You have inspired me to start getting myself together. I can relate with everything you were saying last night. Three years ago my life was turned upside down and I let myself go and it is time for me now.
Good luck!
Glenda from the Eastern Shore of Maryland

Ali, the one MOST important thing I will cherish about watching the biggest loser this season, is your words echoing "I will be the biggest loser". You were voted off...and came back kicking. I remember a personal talk you had with Jillian, about your life, and I remember the look in your eyes...that was before you reentered the show. I have so much admiration and respect for your self confidence and I look at you for inspriation. YOU kicked ASS when you piggy-backed Mark up thoes last steps of that high rise down under. I love your determination. Karen

Hiya Ali...you look absolutely wonderful. I think you did such an awesome job (altho everyone else, I believe you did as well), and I can identify with quite a bit in your situation. Just wanted to ask - how many hours cardio/strength did you do that last week before the final, and what was your calorie intake each day? I am wondering if I push myself, if I can have the same results. I am getting towards the last of my loss...have 28lbs to go after losing 50, and am at a bit of a plateau. Thanks if you can answer some where on this site. :) Congratulations once again, to you and everyone!

Hi Ali,
You have been an amazing inspiration to me being that you did a huge share of this at home... amazing, and truly truly inspirational. How can I push myself to be my own biggest loser?

Hi Ali,
You have been an amazing inspiration to me being that you did a huge share of this at home... amazing, and truly truly inspirational. How can I push myself to be my own biggest loser?

This Question is for Ali, Do you keep a food diary, and exercise journal to keep track of your daily progress or is there a different way you count and keep track of calorie consumption, and exercise? What was your calorie intake on the show, and did it lower as you lost weight? Do you plan on keeping the diet and exercise exspierience as you leave the BL campus? I know everyone goes home educated but how will you keep at it without being on the ranch? Do you help your mother with her weight loss goals?

Bette-Sue this is for you.. You are a fun, beautiful and entertaining woman. Are you keeping up on your weight loss goals as you exspected or thought? Is there any downfalls that are in your way of your goals?

Ali,
You have definitely been an inspiration to me. I have not really watched this show until I saw you. I matched your starting weight at my heaviest. I am about midway through my weight loss journey. Thanks for sharing your experience. I needed another push. Thanks to you I have it. TDD

Congratualtions!

So when's the book coming out?? You know, the one you're going to write about how you transformed yourselves, aired dirty laundry to the nation and turn heads when you walk down the street. You both are a true inspiration to the women of the world that anyone can lose the weight if you have your mind in the right place. I would really love to know exactly what you did to drop that much weight and to look that firm and toned. That should take up a few chapters.

GO ALL THE WAY ALI!!!

How do you get the motivation to get going and to keep going? What do you tell someone who does hide behind their fat yet doesn't know any other way? you know the emotional reasons that we may or may not be aware of? What is the real key to losing this much weight? I think a book would be a great idea I would be the first to buy it from you!

Ali, I first have to say: You look amazing! Great job hun! My question is: What were your feelings when chosen to come back on the show?
Betty-Sue, you must be so proud of Ali. Will you continue your diet with her after the show has ended?

First of all, good luck next week. You have no idea how many people are pulling for you throughout the US.
Can you address what you did when you were at home to have such amazing results? It's one thing for the other contestants to do really well at the ranch but that appears to be a pretty sterile environment - your "job" there is to lose weight via exercising and learning better nutrition. (And that's not a dig toward any of the other contestants. What all of you achieved shows that you've all "won" - no matter what the scale says on a particular moment in time) But someone at home most likely doesn't have those opportunities and has to deal with things like a jobm family, other responsibilities. The weight loss you had while at home was absolutely amazing and totally inspiring. Because it was all you. And, as inspiring as the BL is to many viewers, the BL environment is not one that the majority of us will ever find ourselves. But all of us are at home struggling to lose weight. And you did it in a big way. That makes you the biggest winner.

What are your tips for overcoming emotional eating and sweet cravings?

Ali,
Some days just click and you eat right and exercise what do you do on the days when it seems like the urge to overeat is unstoppable and you feel out of control?

You do realize that most likely with a past history of being such an obese individual that after this is all over, you WILL gain a lot of it back! How do you plan on preparing all that crow you'll be eating when you have to wipe that smug look off your face and put those numbers back on the scale?
