"Additional segments will offer viewers advice on cooking, working out and living happier and healthier lives."

Vincent, a 5'5" former competitive synchronized swimmer, lost almost half of her body weight during her time on the fifth season of "The Biggest Loser," which aired in 2008. She started out at 234 pounds and weighed 122 pounds when she won the competition.

"When I was training for the finale, I was training like an Olympic athlete to win," Vincent told OnTheRedCarpet.com exclusively. "It was not healthy for me to stay at 122 pounds with 11 percent body fat, as I lost my menstrual cycle."

"I live my life between 125 and 130 pounds, depending on the time of the month, and my body composition has changed to around 18 percent body fat," she added. "I honestly got too skinny immediately after and am up to probably 140 pounds today. But that is what 'Live Big' is all about for me. Finding balance, feeling comfortable in our own skin and living the life of our dreams through conversation and building support systems."

Vincent lives in Spokane, Washington. She has in recent years worked as a motivational speaker and released a book called "Believe It, Be It: How Being the Biggest Loser Won Me Back My Life" in November 2009.
