Tonights' challenge on The Biggest Loser is always my favorite. The contestants have to strap back on all the weight they've lost - tonight in weighted golf clubs - and then they walked an 18 hole golf course and put the weight they lost in week one in hole one, and so on. At the beginning of the challenge, all of the contestants talked about how much pain they were in trying to carry their lost weight all over again. Knees, back, neck, arms, feet, legs. I know the aches they are talking about. many of the contestants from other seasons say that this show was the defining show for them - the show that proved to them that they would never gain the weight back - never be back in that position again. 

I've been doing squats taught to me by my good friend Kathy. When I have a few moments I bend my knees and drop my butt as if I were about to sit. I do as many as I can. And then a bit later in the day I'll do another set. I told her that I'm concerned about how weak my legs are - I dont' want to grow to be this old woman who - like my mother - can't get out of her chair without assistance. So I'm working on regaining the strength in my legs.
