[TexasFatAss]

Thank you!

Im a little late on this one but since you only mow the lawn once a week I would suggest throwing in the P90X the rest of the week. One day of cardio is good but 6 days would be better...lol. From your friendly Beachbody Coach...lol.

Coach Courtney

That would be great, but I only have so much time right now.

[Jamesdavis911]

[TexasFatAss]

Thank you!

Friggin' scales! How many calories do you think it burns to demolish a scale? ( ;

Sorry your BOSU ball didn't work out - I hope you don't mind that I burned some calories laughing at your misfortune ( :0

[TexasFatAss]

LOL, I like that thought! No more BOSU balls for me!

[Nkechi45]

[TexasFatAss]

Thanks.

Your videos are always so creative and cool, Jim. Loved the mountain biking and the mowing. Geez I might have to start mowing our lawn with that calorie burn. Heck I should do the whole neighborhood. I agree on the sugar making ya feeling lethargic and ick. When I overdue it, I definitely get "hungover". Your rocked this!

[TexasFatAss]

If you mow the whole neighborhood, you will make enough money to buy all the new clothes you will need to buy! LOL

[Jazmine375]

wow..cant believe you can burn that many calories just mowing lawns..maybe I need to go fire up the mower. We've got loooots of lawn out here I could mow LOL I love your little animated dude..too cute! Yeah, sugar makes ya feel icky once you're not used to it anymore. ..glad you got to learn something helpful about yourself through the challenge :O)

[TexasFatAss]

Thanks.

[changetoday32]

[TexasFatAss]

It is a lot of fun.  I love seeing so much of the trails this way.

[myskinnymission]

Great work out this week :) i feel ya with the way food effects your attitude i had a 4 lbs gain this week from a crazy vacation. Way to get back on track.

[TexasFatAss]

Thanks!

[Lifein1day]

Oh I just LOVE Wall-E!! Great info on the bike differences. I never knew mountain biking burned more calories than a road bike. Step AWAY from the candy bars lol and Good luck with your challenge :-)

[TexasFatAss]

Thank you! I will try to keep my distance for the sugar.

[HopetobeHappy]

With everyone taking out their bike for this challenge, it REALLY makes me want to get out there and buy one! Regardless of what the scale says, you know how well you did...great video and good luck this week! =)

[TexasFatAss]

Thank you. You should go out and find a used bike for cheap. They are a lot of fun.

[19george]

Great job Jim, Im sorry thats its been a tough week but, like you said you've learnt from it so that can only be a good thing :D Love the editing here and that animated character was awesome!

GO SIX WONDERS!!

[TexasFatAss]

Thank you!

[mankap06]

[TexasFatAss]

Thank you.

[TheStarvingSoprano]

I jim. <3 biking. You're so creative! I'm sorry it's been a tough week sweetie. Try not to base it on the scale - this isn't the only true measure of health, which is what we're aiming for right? I saw the "go team 1" thing behind you - awesome!! I'm so sorry about your loss. You've not been having a good time of it recently. x

[TexasFatAss]

Thanks Em. Go 6WOTW! Rock on!

[MissJanieHere]

sounds like water weight to me.. or a broken scale.. when building muscle, they retain water in the beginning, especially if we are overweight because we are usually in a state of dehydration due to our weight. Your body will release the extra water as it gets use to the exercise. You are changing your life and that is totally rockin!

[TexasFatAss]

Thank you. I think it is my state of hydration that keeps changing my weight by such a great deal.

[Marlaine83]

great video Jim. I'm sorry you had a tough week, but it's at least you chalk the experience up to at least giving you some knowledge about how your body may deal with sugar and eating junk.

i enjoyed the video and learning about the differences between the recumbant bike and the mountain bike :)

Go team 6WOW!!

[TexasFatAss]

Thanks! I liked your video too.

[rugratstar]

Jim you have a beautiful soul.... all of your hard work will pay off!! Just keep your spirits high and never give up!  Great video!!

[TexasFatAss]

Thank you for all your kind words.

[Jinxie228]

We have a big yard to mow and by the time we get the weeding done around the flowers, bushes and trees and it is a work out. I like the sign in the background. Very cool on learning something new!

[TexasFatAss]

Thank you!

[mollybcutie2000]

Great Job! WOW maybe your scale is broken that just doesn't sound right! I'd invest in a new one for sure.. ps wallee rocks .. whats up with that animated you how did you do that??

[TexasFatAss]

Thanks. The animated me was from a skate game on X-box.

[piperlynne]

I think your sidebar information is from last challenge. :p

[TexasFatAss]

I fixed that last night right after posting. I did leave a paragraph from the first week on there on purpose, but I changed that this morning since it seems to have confused a few people. Thank you!

[TexasFatAss]

Thanks, I was sure to fix that as quickly as I could.

[wtharetheydoing]

Awesome job :)

[TexasFatAss]

[waterchicklet]

[rpgjko]
