Narrated by Michelle Aguilar

The Biggest Loser was just the beginning. Every week, more than nine million viewers watch The Biggest Loser. The goal for the sixteen contestants is to shed the highest percentage of body weight and capture the grand prize waiting at the end of the grueling course. As Michelle Aguilar discovered, overcoming her own misconceptions about herself was the greatest challenge of all. What do you have to lose? In Becoming Fearless, you will discover Michelle's true secret to losing half her body weight and gaining back her life. Along the way, you may discover that you have a lot to lose as well-whether it's fear, weight, or insecurities that keep you from living fully. As Michelle writes, "I began to realize how much of my past had been spent … allowing my fears to immobilize me instead of choosing to jump."

Reviews for Becoming Fearless

[bmthornton · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

This was a well-written, easy-read book. Very inspirational and informative, as well. I not only learned alot about Ms. Aguilar's journey of becoming "fearless", but I learned a lot about the production of "The Biggest Loser". I highly recommend this book for those who enjoy non-fiction.

Michelle Aguilar, the season six winner of The Biggest Loser, recounts how she overcame her fears and challenges through a deeply held faith in God. It begins with the separation of her parents and the sense of rejection that she felt. It continues by describing a bit of her family and childhood and the estrangement between Michelle and her mother. After auditioning for Season 5 of the biggest loser, and being chosen to participate in Season 6, it explores the difficulties and challenges of the reality TV. show.Overall, I found the book to be an inspirational story of healing, family and overcoming difficulties. It shows Michelle's growth and development, not only through the show, but throughout her entire life. Overall, I highly enjoyed this book and would not hesitate to recommend it to others.
