Biggest Loser 9: Episode 902 Recap

(Original Air Date 1/12/2010)

Week 2 is infamous for being rough and this season was no different!

Bob and Jillian are obsessed with making it through week 2 and the contestants are hurting!

Jillian confronts John in the gym about losing his teammate James because he does not seem to be showing any emotion. Of course Jillian tries to “break” him very early on in the episode I might add. πŸ˜‰

The contestants meet with Dr. Huizenga. Once again he stands before them and talks about the fact that this is the biggest and sickest groups that they have ever had on the show. Yes, it does seem to get worse every year.

Each team gets a medical task that they need to complete that allows them to see the reality of their situation.

Weekly Challenge:
Tonight Alison tells them that the contest will involve testing their balance. Each team must walk a balance beam across a pool carrying 10 beach balls across one at a time.  The winning team will be granted immunity at the weigh-in. The last team to complete the challenge will incur a 2 lb penalty at the weekly weigh-in. There is A LOT at stake here!

The Black Team (Andrea & Darell) and Red Team (Melissa & Lance) are tied at the end and the Red Team brings it in for the win!

There is a struggle at the end when Maria of the White Team has a hard time with this challenge and falls at the end. There is a lot of blood and she is taken away in an ambulance. She ends up with a black eye and they have incurred the 2 lb penalty.

Jillian then proceeds to confront Maria in the gym about all of the fear that she is hanging onto. There is a breakthrough moment when Jillian helps her to conquer her fear of water in the pool. Go Jillian!

Dr. Huizenga meets with the individual teams to talk to them about the realities of their health issues and what will potentially happen to them if they don’t do something about their weight.

Next the Last Chance Workout – one word to describe it: HARD! Per usual!

Do You Have a Vision?

As I am working on my goals/plans/strategies for 2010, I am looking at the following that I have written on the outside of my binder and thought I would share it with you all…I love it! πŸ™‚

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
We ask ourselves,
“Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous?”
Actually, who are you not to be?
We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us.
And as we let our own light shine,
We unconsciously give other people permission to do that same.

~ Marianne Williamson

Do you have a vision for what you want this year to look like?

One of my biggest goals for 2010 (along with reaching my goal weight of course) is to be able to live a mobile lifestyle.

I dream of travel beginning with Thailand and here is what my binder looks like on the outside:
2010-binder

Do YOU have a vision for the year? What is it?

I would encourage you to choose a quote and/or pictures – something that is visually inspiring to you…would love for you to share them here in the forum!

P.S. The inside of my binder is divided into areas which include a mission/vision statement, an overall plan of sorts and individual tabs for the different areas to focus on.
