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:
“Not the less does nature continue to fill the heart of youth with suggestions of his enthusiasm, and there are now men,—if indeed I can speak in the plural number,—more exactly, I will say, I have just been conversing with one man, to whom no weight of adverse experience will make it for a moment appear impossible, that thousands of human beings might exercise towards each other the grandest and simplest of sentiments, as well as a knot of friends, or a pair of lovers.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Ours is a culture based on excess, on overproduction; the result is a steady loss of sharpness in our sensory experience. All the conditions of modern life—its material plenitude, its sheer crowdedness—conjoin to dull our sensory faculties.”
—Susan Sontag (b. 1933)
“We’d like to fight but we fear defeat,
We’d like to work but we’re feeling too weak,
We’d like to be sick but we’d get the sack,
We’d like to behave, we’d like to believe,
We’d like to love, but we’ve lost the knack.”
—Cecil Day Lewis (1904–1972)
