Thank you, Lisa, for making him change the angle on the scale.
And BD, you are aware that a man in a t-shirt with cut-off sleves and tattoos running through the streets of LA in the middle of the night holding a video camera is just ASKING FOR IT, right?
-----
[BusyDad] ... just continuing my unstoppable laughter from earlier in the day.
Haha was that a tulip? Next time you should get much closer to the flowers. lol. That's my request. You are actually quite lucky, my friend, with those dogs. We used to have some that would tangle themselves around YOUR legs...and that while running, it HURTS. I loved how you did the grass shots while credits were running. Awesome job and great job on losing weight/getting in shape! Yay for you!!!
-----
[BusyDad] Thank you! It was tough. Not fun. The only fun thing about w8loss wed is making the video. I'm pretty much crying the rest of the time. And upon further research (as you pointed out), it may just be a poppy.
OMG! This video is the key to my weight loss! Crazy camera action + road kill= Total loss of appetite.
Congratulations on losing the 6 pounds! LMAO at you calling her a guy *giggles*
-----
[BusyDad] The perils of being the writer, producer, director, actor, cameraman! And for now I will spare you from having Fury film these. I think I made a few people motion sick when I played Fury's self-filmed Lego Star Wars movie.
Never wear that tie again!
-----
[d Hubby] You were there when I picked it out! You set me up!
Running with kids and dogs. Kinda like trying to push a chain.
As for the comment about running around with a camera in LA, doesn't everybody do that?
-----
[BusyDad] Well, you either get discovered or beat down. And we all roll the dice, don't we! And if all else fails, you can always throw it up in YouTube.
Congrats on the weight loss!
Have to admit my exercise program more closely resembles that last shot of Krypto. I wonder how many calories sunbathing burns?
-----
[BusyDad] :) Thanks! Well if it's a really really hot day, maybe the pounds melt off faster? I'm hoping? Maybe I should test that next week.
I was going to make a risque comment, but I decided against it. My mind is loopy.
-----
[BusyDad] It's the thought that counts! haha
1. Agree with d wife - lose the tie, but you look good in the suit.
2. You look like you've lost a lot of weight already - very in shape - good for you!
3. Hilarious footage of the dogs getting tangled. Like my kids trying to walk next to me.
4. Sad about the road kill, but relieved it wasn't a kitten. Is that wrong?
5. Sorry about the grass. Oh wait - is it too early to say that??
-----
[BusyDad]
1. But that's my lucky interview/tradeshow tie! Dang.
2. :) thank you! I am a s.u.c.k.e.r. for compliments!
3. You put them on leashes? Not a bad idea actually...
4. You species-ist! (ok so am I)
5. YES. I'm not giving up just yet!
I did NOT pick out that tie! And I STILL saw toe! I'm off to the gym, quick-weight-losing EVIIIIIIL husband!
-----
[d Hubby] But you sanctioned its purchase when the salesman paired it for me. Implied approval in my book. Fine it shall be retired.
Fix the grass!
-----
[d Hubby] grr
I am with the wife. lose the tie.
Congrats on the weight loss!!! :)
-----
[BusyDad] A conspiracy I tell you! It was fine for 4 years, then the second I broadcast it, it is ugly. She was waiting for this moment. Wily women! But thanks about the weight loss! (as I much on Sun Chips right now).
I tried running with my Labs a few times, but stopped for fear of being pulled to my knees and dragged several yards as they chased after squirrels. The only good squirrel is a dead squirrel.
Hope you get positive response from the interview. I kinda liked the tie.
-----
[BusyDad] Thank you for liking the tie! I have always been fond of it too. It was a good interview, so hopefully something comes of it. Did you like the flattened squirrel in my video? Fury sure did!
dWife's killing me in the responses. Woman, start a blog please!
Jimmy, congrats on the loss! My favorite part was Running with Fury. Too. cool.
-----
[BusyDad] No! No blog for her! I find that I am only cool when she does not chime in. Imagine a whole blog? I'd be done for. (Fury running was amusing wasn't it? I was finally able to use his ability to become distracted to my advantage!)
Love the vid! And congrats on the weight loss... so how many pizzas and beers contributed to your success?
(can you tell I'm green with envy?)
;)
-----
[BusyDad] I only had 5 beers all week! and one mini pizza. And that was all on one day last weekend, so I had a good 4 days to make up for it! And it was pretty miserable making up for it!!!

Awesome job Jim! I admire you for hitting your goal. Keep up the great work man!
-----
[BusyDad] Thanks Jeremy! And glad to have you on board losing weight along with us. Don't worry, you'll fit into your skinny jeans in no time. Hahaha! We're just as bad as the moms.
yes! I was so excited to see what music you picked this time haha. Van Halen sweeet! Sammy Hagar is my mans favorite...he has gotten me hooked lately....Van Halen is my go to music in the morning...Right Now kicks arse for that whole "getupdamnit" mentality haha
good job on the weight loss! And omg how cute is fury with his stretches ahaha
-----
[BusyDad] Thanks Deeg! Motivation and 80's hair metal just seem to go hand in hand. Sure it's formula - but it's a working formula. Fury's head to knees "stretch" kills me everytime I watch it.
Look at you go little Spielberg! I hope my first weigh in on Friday goes as well.
-----
[BusyDad] Harrison Ford just called to audition for the next one - did you go tell someone about my killer movie making skillz? Good luck on the weigh in!
I am with d Wife. Um, piss off, 6 pounds in two weeks. I think I'm gonna ask d Wife to start slipping you chocolate milkshakes in your sleep or something. No man should be able to loose weight like that.
Not. Cool.
-----
[BusyDad] Hmm that would almost be like breakfast in bed. I wouldn't mind gaining weight if I felt all emperor like that.
Awesome job on the weight loss! Now we just need to get you into fighting shape and throw some weight lifting in there!
-B
P.S. What did Toheed fix on the truck?
-----
[BusyDad] Next week B. Wanted to get my cardio back before hitting weights n stuff. And just like murphy's law dictates, Toheed drove that truck around 3 days to recreate the problem. Drove perfectly. I have since found out it's a faulty fuel pump. $$$$.
I still miss Fury's long hair. Two words: Griffith Park!
-----
[BusyDad] :) It WAS cool wasn't it? Hmmm an on location with BD episode perhaps? The one where I wheeze and pass out from exhaustion.
Yup, the twins came running up the SECOND I hit play on another BusyD production. I think they're crushing Fury!
Congrats on the 6 lbs man, you're hardcore. I tried the Fury diet earlier this week, you know, just eating the bits that fell off the highchair and I lost NOTHING! Must be all the wine and beer I'm consuming while Blog Hopping SOLO :)
-----
[BusyDad] I think it is BEYOND COOL that our collective kids all know each other. Fury knows them well from the Twinsanity (screaming) series. And I will confess. I had to give up beer for 5 days in a row to make the weight. Which means, I need to make up for that. And for my inability to properly Blog Hop.
And the Emmy goes to....
Another great video.
Running with Fury was the best.
Congrats on reaching your 6lb. goal! Keep up the good work.
-----
[BusyDad] Thanks Jason! Don't you love little kids' ADD?
hehehe You called her a guy!! hehehe
Great job making the goal!
-----
[BusyDad] Thanks Nissa! Yeah, at least he had the tact to tell me that AFTER she passed us. He's definitely growing up.
guaranteed workout - take fury to the arboretum! Hey, you forgot to credit your three guest stars! Bad. Bigger roles for them next time please :) And a recurring role for the squeezy toy.
music, this time was obvious, haha, running with the devil. Hey I didn't say it. Your poor grass....turning brooowwn.
-----
[d Bro] I know! I forgot to add a "starring:" on my credits. Anyway, they have a long term contract and will be duly credited next time.
I
Hate
You
I'm down another whopping .4 lbs. Yes, that's POINT FOUR POUNDS.
Die BusyDad, Die
(oh yeah - and congrats)
-----
[BusyDad] Mindi, did you know that your anti-BD tirades are my motivation to lose weight? I love them.
Rock on, BD!
Love the soundtrack.
-----
[BusyDad] >:-D Everyone needs a little VH to get that adrenaline going.
Dogs and grass do not mix.
You clean up very nicely, my dear. Congrats on the weight loss. I hope the interviewing is going equally well.
-----
[BusyDad] I'm fighting an uphill battle aren't I...And thanks! It is finally starting to net results. I'm sad my free time days will be over soon though.
Congrats! Also, I'm putting up a more diet friendly bread recipe, if you are back to carbs on some level. It's mostly whole wheat, no shortening, and some milk. It will be posted some time in the next few days.
-----
[BusyDad] Jen I'll definitely check it out. While I'm not cutting carbs, I am trying to stay whole grain whenever possible. That's a general rule for me diet or not.
You sweat. A LOT.
And how long did it take you to find someone who weighs 167.5 pounds with 17.5% bodyfat to stand on the scale while you filmed, blaming d Wife for the new camera angle? ;-) Just kidding. You are superhuman and we all know it.
-----
[BusyDad] Hey, you can't get pretty without getting a little ugly first right? And I am by no means superhuman - just really really really afraid of failure - in public.
Excellent on the 6 lbs, BD. I loved the video ... your cast did an excellent job as well. Fury ... "You called her a guy" ... classic move, Dad!!!
This is great motivation for staying in shape. I'm not a runner, (I have zero endurance for that but I'm a hip-hop aerobic nutjob) but seeing you get out there and get such great results is very inspiring.
-----
[BusyDad] You know, I really thought I would get through ONE video without a "whoops!" moment. But then again, it wouldn't be a BD production if it went smoothly now would it?
What is the fury diet? I have to get motivated and lose weight again (and maintain the loss this time).
-----
[BusyDad] Hey Ashley - I emailed you, but if anyone else is interested, I go over it in detail on Episode #2.
Nice update. I had no doubt you would get to your 6 lb goal. I just have to tell you that the second you start weighing less than me is the second I have to kick your ass! Like I said before, move to Michigan...you'll be the skinniest guy here. LOL! (We need the extra layers for the long winters...yeah, that's it.)
So...when should we do the tat show-off? I think soon before I lose my nerve. Let's coordinate.
-----
[BusyDad] I wish it worked the opposite way. I could just sit in the sun and let the extra pounds melt off. Imagine me just sitting there with a beer (lite of course!) and telling you all "yup. losing weight." I'll email you about the tattoo thing!
Now I know why my muscles hurt. I don't stretch right. Please thank Fury for the head to knee lesson. I never realized I should be stretching as if I'm squatting to pee.
-----
[BusyDad] hahahaha he must've picked that stretch up from Krypto.
Very inspiring video!
I kept waiting for you to biff...or run into a stationary object....video in one hand..dog leashes in the other...busy roads....that's DANGEROUS! Watch where you're going! LOL!
THAT'S IT! I'm goin on a diet!
-----
[BusyDad] Well, you definitely know how I roll! haha. 8 times out of 10 I think you would see me totally trip or ram into something.
