Weight Loss Work
Rochester suffered from obesity, which she attributed to the death of her birth mother and her estrangement from her adoptive mother. She resolved to lose weight following the birth of her child, and shed over 50 kilograms since giving birth.
Since then, she has been involved in several weight loss projects, most notably hosting four seasons (2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009) The Biggest Loser on Network Ten. She founded a website, "The Healthy Body Club", and authored the books Confessions of a Reformed Dieter, Blubberguts and The Lazy Girl's Guide to Losing Weight and Getting Fit.
Ajay has also published two more titles with new Holland including cookbook "Food You Love" and self help inspirational book 5 minute "diet".
Rochester has joined a Weight Loss Reality Show as a celebrity contestant, Excess Baggage which broadcasts in January thru March 2012. After leaving Biggest Loser she gained some weight, and has admitted she used to starve herself to keep her presenting job.
Rochester is currently co-founder (with newscaster and reality star Jonathan Novack) of anti bullying program and channel Bullying Bites TV set to launch in January 2013.

Famous quotes containing the words weight, loss and/or work:
“As deaths have accumulated I have begun to think of life and death as a set of balance scales. When one is young, the scale is heavily tipped toward the living. With the first death, the first consciousness of death, the counter scale begins to fall. Death by death, the scales shift weight until what was unthinkable becomes merely a matter of gravity and the fall into death becomes an easy step.”
—Alison Hawthorne Deming (b. 1946)
“Parents must not only have certain ways of guiding by prohibition and permission; they must also be able to represent to the child a deep, an almost somatic conviction that there is a meaning to what they are doing. Ultimately, children become neurotic not from frustrations, but from the lack or loss of societal meaning in these frustrations.”
—Erik H. Erikson (20th century)
“A tremendous number of people in America work very hard at something that bores them. Even a rich man thinks he has to go down to the office every day. Not because he likes it but because he can’t think of anything else to do.”
—W.H. (Wystan Hugh)
