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:
“In a town-meeting, the great secret of political science was uncovered, and the problem solved, how to give every individual his fair weight in the government, without any disorder from numbers. In a town-meeting, the roots of society were reached. Here the rich gave counsel, but the poor also; and moreover, the just and the unjust.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“A little cooling down of animal excitability and instinct, a little loss of animal toughness, a little irritable weakness and descent of the pain-threshold, will bring the worm at the core of all our usual springs of delight into full view, and turn us into melancholy metaphysicians.”
—William James (1842–1910)
“In some withdrawn, unpublic mead
Let me sigh upon a reed,
Or in the woods, with leafy din,
Whisper the still evening in:
Some still work give me to do,—
Only—be it near to you!
For I’d rather be thy child
And pupil, in the forest wild,
Than be the king of men elsewhere,
And most sovereign slave of care:
To have one moment of thy dawn,
Than share the city’s year forlorn.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
