The hairdresser from Mesa, Ariz., lost more than half her body weight, but gained a whole new perspective on life. “I am a whole new woman,” Vincent told TODAY’s Lester Holt . “There are no limits. There are absolutely no limits and I started to dream big again.” today.msnbc.msn.com The Pink Team on Season 5, of The Biggest Loser, Ali Vincent and Bette-Sue Burklund are both LDS Bette-Sue is still VERY active and proud to be LDS! (From Ali's Mom to Famous Mormons) |
alivincent.com from www.hersutah.com Did being raised LDS play a part in your weight gain or weight loss? AV: My mom put me on a celebrity Mormon Web site. I was raised LDS. I’m not active. I don’t think it’s a coincidence that there are a lot of successful people out there who are LDS, because you’re raised with different standards and know what it feels like to go for something. A lot of it has to do with the way I was raised, for sure. I love the church, and half of my family is active, but for me it’s just not the right fit. I was raised LDS in a very Mormon community, yet everything in my life was different than everyone around me. There was a lot of aloneness, a lot of separateness. I was raised by my grandparents. My dad was Catholic and Mexican. My mom was white and Mormon. He was poor, she was rich. |

wasn't prepared for the cast members' sleazy tactics and
back-stabbing in an effort to win the $1 million prize. She won
five immunity challenges, and no one ever voted against her. In the
final episode, she lost to Richard in a vote of three to four. Source: Contestant a true 'survivor' by Kimberley McGee, Las Vegas Sun, 23 Aug 2000 |
