----ABOUT THIS VIDEO-----
We have lost over 160 pounds by changing our diet and our lifestyle. In this video, we talk about how we looked and felt before we lost weight. We discuss why we adopted the diet we adopted, how we felt after we began losing weight, and some of the things we learned along our weight loss journey.
We were really sick and suffered from a wide variety of issues from high blood pressure to hormonal issues and pre-diabetes. We adopted a whole food plant based (vegan) diet after eating Eat to Live by Dr. Joel Fuhrman, and then we cut processed sugar and flour after reading Bright Line Eating by Dr. Susan Pierce Thompson.
We feel 1000% times better, and wanted to share our journey in case it can help motivate or inspires someone else on their weight loss journey. We have a number of other videos on meal prep, healthy eating, and pantry essentials.

Because of this video im going vegan - not tomorrow, not monday, but TODAY ♥️
Anita Nielsen I started yesterday ... Congrats
Ex Vegan here. Don't do it!
@@thatdiycouple5513 Yip its been a week and "Daughter of the King" still have nothing to say because there IS nothing to say. Wonder who the "king" is of this "daughter" ??
VIVA VEGANISM !!!
Me to going give it a try
@@daughteroftheking2200 you are clueless. You didn't follow veganism proper
Great job guys! I’ve lost 111lbs, also. ❤️
Wow!!!! ❤️❤️❤️
That’s amazing!
I cried watching your story. I relate to you as a female trying to loose weight. The trying on clothes crying sessions I've had them WAY too many times. I recently decided to become vegetarian. And right now i am taking this a day at a time. I do not want to be unhealthy anymore. I am so tired of how I have been feeling. I only hope I can see the results not just with weight loss but a lot of issues that I am facing. I feel very confident about eating this way. And I hope I too can one day look back and laugh at how i felt one day.☺
You can do it!! Love yourself and you would be able to do it! It’s been 14 days wfpb and I already feel the difference! I don’t have the headaches in the beginning. But I. Love this! wfpb! Need to love and forgive myself to take and treat myself better then I ever before. This is the self control we can have for ourselves , healthy choices healthy living and loving others as well!
I recently adopted plant based eating and it's amazing the changes in a matter of weeks.
Kathleen Wow! Really?!!! What kind of changes did you have and how long did it take to see these changes
Kathleen Gage - I have no idea what I am doing wrong, I have been WFPB for a few months and I am not experiencing any weight loss 😭😭😭
Agreed
@@ajablue651 what are you eating and are you drinking enough water? For me it's 6-8 portions of veggies to 3-4 portions of fruit per day. Lots of leafy greens, salads and make sure you get enough proteins / lentils, beans etc.
@@nikki27ish I eat oatmeal with a tablespoon of peanut butter 2 tablespoons of flax meal and a tablespoon of maple syrup for breakfast. I make soups with beans and onions carrots lentils etc. different soups and I always add spinach or kale to it I have a kale and spinach smoothie sometimes for lunch dinner will be a coconut curried red lentil soup with rice about a cup to a cup and a half of rice. I'll make tofu jerk pieces and eat them in a wrap with hummus tomatoes cucumbers sometimes with roasted peppers that I roast myself on the stovetop so it's not like it's an oil or anything
I've been eating lots of fruits and vegetables I eat avocado everyday with either my salad or my dinner, once in awhile I'll put a quarter or half of a small Hass avocado in my smoothies and I drink tons of water I get in at least 64 to 74 Oz of water a day. So I don't know what I could be doing wrong why it's not working for me.
I grew up a meat-loving carnivore but lately I can't stand anything about meat, especially the knowledge of consuming something that used to be a breathing, living thing with legs and a face. Now I go for the vegan "meats" that taste so much better than real meats ever did, and my body feels a lot better now too without all the toxic animal chunks rotting away in it. Plus I've lost a little weight already.
This is amazing! It’s January 2nd and my husband and i are going vegan for 66 days to try it out. So excited! Thanks for being vulnerable and sharing
Lauren Astudillo hows it going for you?
My husband reversed diabetes and high blood pressure by going vegan.The doctor was shocked
What do u mean by that ?? All of a sudden hes no longer insulin resistant ??
WOW GRAT JOB
My dad did the same thing. He educated himself and never took the drugs given him. He now feels like he’s 40, at 80 years young. The sad truth is that most doctors are so ignorant about nutrition.
@@dmp1520 type 2 can be reversed. Its very different from type 1.
@@Nomadic.A if that is true then why doesnt the medical establishment universities hospitals etc know this and inform the public ?
My husband reversed diabetes, high cholesterol and high blood pressure by going vegan.
Shannabanana McInnis-Hurd congratulations. That is life changing
sanjeev gaikwad truly.
Congratulations!
I can't think why on earth anyone would give this video a thumbs down - maybe they're jealous.
Incredible. And I feel like, with your videos, my daughter and I could lose weight and get healthy. My daughter is 16 years old,
5'11", and weighs 260 lbs. I'm 50 years old, 5'6", and weigh 211 lbs. I'm suffering with many health issues, one of which is arthritis. I also have fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue, along with GERD, etc. I'm so excited and can't wait to share this with my daughter! She has been working so hard exercising. So excited! This is going to change our lives. I'm especially excited for my daughter.
Thank you SO much for your videos!
How is the plan going for you and your daughter?
Lovely stories but the music volume is so disturbing!
Same here loved the story, but the music was very overpowering. Love to see more
Totally agree, too noisy and distracting.
You two are so real and so sweet. I feel the same way- and as a woman I totally feel the same way. I used to be skinny and now I’m fat again... this was so motivating.
I am where you both were. I need to lose 80 to 100 lbs. I’m a sz 16, and pre-diabetic. It’s been so hard for me not knowing whether to eat a vegan diet or a keto diet. It makes me yo-yo. Thank you for posting this because it makes me feel like there’s hope for me!
Norma Jimenez I'm the same as you.... have you heard of the Hippocrates institute way of eating (vegan)..... its lower fruit which is better those who are insulin resistant. I tried both high carb vegan and keto....... both had major issues long term.... I hope this info helps you.
@@Eye2C33 Thank You! I'll look into it.
I have many of the same symptoms of you. I have PCOS and am pre diabetic and am on the Eat to Live Diet. I just ordered the book you recommended. My husband is losing much more than me too. I have fibromyalgia too. New subscriber.
This was so good for me to hear. I am a tall girl too at 6’ and even though I wasn’t overweight when I was younger, I struggled with an eating disorder for many years. I stopped the purging but not the binging. I eventually went Vegan, lost a lot of weight, and then started eating a junk food Vegan diet and gained the weight back plus more. I have autoimmune issues causing arthritis and Hashimoto’s so my immune system and hormones are out of balance. This was really inspiring and look forward to more info from your channel.
I just started my vegan journey. You guys are gold! your authenticity your love, and your inner light inspired me so much!
I am also 6'5". Just started being vegan and I am 76 yrs young. Only just started 3 weeks ago and have lost 14 lbs. My wife is not on board yet but definitely could use this program so I have to do this on my own. Started this time at 265 lbs.
I am lazy so I am blending my fruits and vegetables. I started doing this 3 times a day but now I am down to twice a day. I am doing this for health reasons.
I am a new diabetic, have high cholesterol, high blood pressure, 3rd stage kidney failure, irregular heartbeat, fatty liver. My doctor has recommended stanton for high cholesterol and glipizides for high blood sugar. so I am hoping to reverse some or all of these conditions. I was shooting for may 220 but you look amazing at 180.
I was 185 when i graduated from high school but by the end of my freshman year was 235 because of a milk machine an beer. Have never lost any of it since then. My highest was 280. Wish me luck.
The video demonstrates perfectly that healthy living is a lifetime thing. There's no maintenance if you're already eating right and exercising. Being your best means to "Be your best", always.
Thank you, you have inspired me to stay on the new path of plant based eating I have started a week ago
Yay! I am on Day 42 of BLE. It has been a revelation. I am also a 6'1 (and 3/4" :)) woman. So inspiring to see your journeys so far. Looking forward to watching more of your story! All the best to both of you.
I too got my kickstart with the Eat To Live plan. Dr. Thurman's plan led to my total plant based eating lifestyle. Total loss 132 pounds but now living within a 122 pound maintenance range. It's been hard but amazing. I enjoyed this video so much. I've not read the BLE book but my friend has and has made a different in her. I've eat her her videos online and have enjoyed them. I have an erratic exercise schedule right now, and don't know how much that is playing into my stall out. Or so it seems. Maybe my mind needs a break from it all. Looking back reminds where I've been and I desire to move forward.
I have Diabetes and PCOS and I've been a Vegan for a week. I feel Great! The first two day I found that I was always hungry so I added more protein to my diet, now I feel so good...
Just rezoomed on BLE. I lost 32 pounds 6.5 months. Thank you for being brave enough to share your story! Wish I could get my husband on board!!
Veganism all the way!
🍔🍔🍔🍔🍕🌮🍟🍕🍕🌮🍕
You two are so inspiring...I have fallen off the WFPB wagon and this inspires me to get back on pronto. I would like to lost another 20 pounds...I lost 25 pounds a couple of years ago.
Thank you for being so authentic! I am going through some of the same weight problems, I will start BLE tomorrow! Looking forward to following you, Thanks again.
You rock thank you for sharing you give me hope I’m 44 and 5”5 and weigh 237 I have so many health issues and basically tried every diet out there 😥 today is day five for me on a raw vegan diet I have been vegetarian for the past 6 months and only lost 16 lbs 🥺 I do intermediate fasting as well ...also detoxing my body for the past year or so I just really felt nothing would work so I was in the process of going threw with the lap band but my dr will not permit the surgery he says I’m to high of a risk 😒 so this was my next step hoping and praying it worked but so difficult the 2nd day I snuck and gorged a whole bag of French fries so my will power and disciple is weak but if I don’t do something quick I might not be here to see my 7yr old son grow up so it’s do or die !! You two are such a inspiration thank you once again for being so transparent and allowing us to see your story 💪🏼 your amazing big hugs congrats to you both 🥳
🥀 Hi ! I started watching Yazemeenah Rossi's UA-cam video today, with Shannon as her guest, and I had to stop watching so I could watch this video first, so I'd understand the weight loss journey you were speaking about. WOW !! GREAT JOB, you two !! I'm inspired by you both ! I've been on a better eating, daily exercise regimen since Feb. of this year (2021) beginning at 201 lbs, and am currently weighing in at 168.8 lbs. I feel so much better ! What jolted me into this healthier lifestyle was my Dr telling me if my blood sugar continued to creep up, we'd be having a pre-meds-diabetes talk at my next appointment. It scared me ! I went home and began planning the following day ! Whew !! I am so much happier, and feel stronger than I have in years !! Did I mention I'm turning 60 this month ?? lol
Thank you so much for sharing your journey with us !! Good luck in all your future endeavors, and God Bless !! Love you guys ! 😍🌹
You both look awesome and so much younger, kudos on the amazing weight loss! Beautiful couple! 😍😘❤️🤗
That DIY Couple sorry about the comment, I didn’t think you’d read it, I’m so embarrassed now 😊... I’m gonna delete it. Both of you look great! Kudos on the weight loss! I’m glad John eats eggs! I eat raw eggs and they give me so much energy and I luv raw meat 🥩
After going vegan my hair just went frosted tips and I can feel the energy of the earth under my feet. Is this normal? I might be a superhero...
I began my journey Wednesday, four days ago. It is a struggle and I am dealing with night time hunger. Late night eating is a hard habit to break. I am enjoying the food and I really only want meat when I get really hungry. I'm doing better than I thought I would. Thank you for the inspiration.
Oh my gosh , I started my journey 4 days ago too 😊
I'm glad I came across your video. So inspiring I had to click subscribe. I've been trying to eat vegan for more than a year, but I've fallen into the trap of being a junk food vegan and it's frustrating. I can totally relate to the digestion issues and I'm hoping get more motivated and a lot of information to move to a whole foods plant based diet. Thanks for sharing ❤
Thank you so much for sharing your inspirational stories. I have Volleyed back and forth about being vegan over the years. More specifically because of the animal cruelty. However January 30th of this month I was told I had an a1c of 13. That really floored me and made me take a serious look at my health and what I could do about it aside from medicating myself which I did not want to do. I Have a special needs child who is 16 and relies on me for all of his care. I decided that I cannot afford in any way shape or form to be diabetic and of course to continue to increase my health risks of all sorts of disease. So I decided once and for all to go vegan. So far I have lost 24 lbs. But more importantly I feel so much better!! I was having serious bouts of gastroparesis which has subsided and I have not experienced anymore since I changed my diet. I have cleaned out my pantry and replaced it with everything I need to keep myself on the straight and narrow and so I have what I need at my disposal to make recipes. I have found that I do not miss meat at all. Actually what has been harder is the dairy. I have never drank milk but I do like creamer yogurt and sometimes cheese. So I am experimenting with the dairy free products and am thinking about trying to make my own cheese. I do not mean to this comment to become so long here it is. Thanks again I wish you continued Health on your Journeys.
Great story guys you guys inspired me I am also transitioning into becoming a vegan I spent my 20s in my 30s with my weight going up and down and I just want to do something that’s going to benefit me healthwise and having a healthy weight.
You guys a great! Thanks for sharing your journey, even given how uncomfortable it may have been to share the older footage. It was very touching and well-told, and the editing was spot on too. Subscribed!
Thanks for being here! :)
Thank you so much I just decided to become vegan and it's been a journey for two years trying to wean myself of milk then cheese and now meat. I am happy I made the decision. I did it because my cholesterol is high and doesn't go down no matter what I do so I finally decided that I needed to stop eating meat as well. I am also working out 3 times a week so hopefully the next time I see my doctor my cholesterol levels have gone down. You guys are really inspiring and you make a really cute couple. God Bless you and family...
This is so inspirational, I'm going to buy this book, my husband and I, need to loose some wait, you are such a great couple.
Awesome video! I lost 15 pounds and cured my constant kidney stones/infections that I have had my whole life by going vegan. I also look way better, skin and hair is healthy, and I just feel great :) I went vegan for the animals and environmental reasons, and had no idea it would impact my health like this! Its wonderful.
I’m so glad I stumbled across your channel because I definitely can relate to your testimonies. I struggled with my weight all my life. Even with some of the health issues. I tried bring a Vegan for like 45 days and I gave up because I didn’t loose any weight. Even though I knew that it was a better diet but I didn’t see the results so I gave up. This video made me realize how important my health is to my life and as of today I’m going back to Veganism as a lifestyle and not a diet.
Late to the party but your video is inspiring! I'm trying out a vegan diet and im already losing weight after a few weeks. It seems much easier to maintain.
Praise G-d for your health - health is total wealth! Hubbs Harry and I did the same, he lost 150lbs, and I 28, but also I cured and reversed my CHF heart disease with going WFPB/Vegan! YES! to WFPB/Vegan - NO to KETO! Amen, Love Shalom and G-d bless!
I just turned 32 this month. I have had thyroid problems for several years and started on some medication after many years of refusing it and trying to cure myself naturally (I was a keto and paleo fanatic for life 😩). Now I am off the thyroid medication because of heart symptoms, ended up in ER with horrific heart palps, extensive testing at cardiologist, and diagnosed with heart failure, prescribed 2 more medications. But I am not taking them. I refuse to live my life on pharmaceuticals and with side effects that pile up as I get sicker and sicker. I switched to vegan wfpb diet 2 weeks ago, celery juice every morning, and I am already seeing great results! My horrendous joint pain and stiffness is GONE!!! My stomach pain and excruciating IBS i have had since age 6 (yes 6!) is gone! I am hoping to also see great results with my heart. I want complete healing and your comment gave me hope.
Omg I hate keto. So glad you said this.
Great job, nicely done believable and inspirational. Especially the “team” feel to your supportive relationship over time...independent yet loving.
This is an amazing story!!! You two look freakin’ AWESOME, and you both have worked so hard! Your videos are helping and inspiring so many people! Thanks for being real and sharing your story, wishing you guys all the best!!!!!
Thank you for sharing your inspiring story on your journey to wellness.
Wow wow wow. This is so crazy. I’m a introvert and used to lOVE Chicken Cesar salads too hahaha! They were my favorite! My heaviest I was 278 and I’m 6’5 (just like him) and I just started eating plant based for three months and have lost about 20 pounds. I can’t wait to follow you guys and have subscribed. I will follow this and look up to you guys for inspiration. Thank you so much for this video - it really means a lot (found this from reddit)
You both are so inspiring! Thank you for sharing your journey and being brave enough to show footage of before going vegan. This just reaffirms my decision of living this lifestyle.
not a diet, a lifestyle, a choice.
I’ve been asked if I was pregnant sooo many times? Sometimes I just say yes and lie. They are just strangers. It’s easier than saying no and dealing with that extremely awkward situation
Thanks That DIY Couple for sharing this. You have both been transformed and now have a new lease of life which is fantastic. I have been vegan for nearly seven years and i am at my healthiest ever. I was 50 when i went vegetarian and 56 when i went vegan for the animals not knowing i would feel this great. No more Asthma which i had for over 25 years and taking inhalers and no more IBS problems. My immunity is so much stronger and energy levels have increased. Doctors have very little training in food nutrition and out of ignorance and supporting the pharma industry they are over prescribing drugs which are a quick fix for most health issues which can be treated and even cured with a plant based diet. Drugs are poisons and are not the answer as they all have side effects and are unnatural and addictive which can lead to many health problems. Plants have the power to heal and cure and as the old saying goes.....let food be our medicine and medicine be our food....natural plant foods that is.....
this is so inspiring, thank you so much for sharing!
someone recommended i listen to your story, and i'm so grateful i did,
my biggest struggle is not really having any other support or help to do this journey (doing this solo),
and not knowing how to prep/maintain the healthy meal plans.
i am very interested in this healthy and nutritional eating/way of life, and would LOVE love love to have it be a part of my regular lifestyle to prep/eat healthy natural meals, but again... doing this myself, and overwhelmed by knowing how/where to start with making those meals...
any helpful ideas or supportive tips? :)
Thank you for sharing your raw story. I know it couldn't have been easy, but you guys are awesome. At 5'2 I dream of being 6'1 :)
😭😭😭😭this was very inspirational!!! I’m so happy and praying of you guys!! Where can I find the books? And did you guys exercise? And I’m doing the whole30 diet/challenge, I want to get back to my weight that I was before I got into an unhealthy relationship...I really lost myself, but I’m better than ever now☺️ I’m trying to lose 20 pounds🙏😭
That DIY Couple ohhh okay!! That’s great!!! And do you guys still enjoy foods that you guys like? Because I’m doing the whole30 diet and it’s good, but I don’t feel as great, and totally happy because I have to cut everything out! So I wanted to find a diet/lifestyle that’s perfect for me where I can eat healthy, lose weight and still enjoy my favorite foods, you know? But thanks for commenting back!!☺️💖
I just started BLE! Excited to see how it helps me and looking forward to see your progress!
I'm easing into things - I've bought all the tools and measuring each meal but not officially starting the 14-day challenge until Feb. 2. I will definitely keep you posted! I'm super excited. I need to lose about 15 pounds (the 15 pounds I've been trying to lose for 10+ years, lol) but haven't ever been able to. Are you sticking to the no drinking rule as well? I am going to cut back but I'm not sure I can cut alcohol out entirely but I definitely will during the weight-loss phase.
Amazing video. Thank you for sharing all of it. You both are beautiful inside and out. God bless!! 💗💗💗
Thanks for sharing your story's! I recently started on a plant based diet and I'm already experiencing the difference in how I feel and I'm beginning to loose weight.
Wow 6'1 tall, you're actually very tall! I'm going to a vegan nutriologist next week to start a healthy vegan eating plan which is sustainable and satisfying at the same time :) thanks for sharing your story !
It's expensive losing so much weight, a whole new wardrobe, I know I did it with a plant based life. You both look really great. Be very proud of yourselves, be and stay healthy. Get some yoga in your life now and at least 2 children! Namaste.
Thank you for sharing your testimony! Your story is incredibly inspirational. God bless you guys!!
Loved watching your story !!!! You guys are inspiring.
Thank You both, so very much for sharing your stories 🤗 I totally understand how hurtful and hard it’s been, it’s only been 2 weeks since I’ve started making healthy eating changes and I’m 52 yrs young. I have gotten just so tired of being tired, depressed and over weight... just everyday feeling like Crap!! and all the health issues I suffer, i’m at my highest weight I’ve ever been and wear a size 20 pants..so I can totally relate!! the past 2 weeks I have slowly gotten better with what I eat and how I cook, and have cut out unhealthy foods and snacks, and am on the road to taking far better care of myself!!! I have aways to go but with Jesus by my side, I’m pushing forward and will make it through,New Year-New Mindset-New lifestyle!!!
I pray the best for you both, Jesus Loves you❤️and thanks again for sharing your stories
Wow. Very inspiring. Dramatic changes for the better. 🎖️🎖️
Well done! Husband & I are staying on track with our wellness goals too. We did struggle with our weight at first a few years into our marriage due to stress & environmental factors. Now, we live with a more growth mindset and champion-like fighting spirit every single day. In fact, we are in our early 40s, but we have more energy and endurance level than our twenty or thirty something couple friends and family. Amazing how life is a lot (lovely) and so with so much purpose. to
I love this! I have been on so many diets and fad weight loss programs. I also look for the right now weight loss instead of a healthy long term fix. Up until recently I ate foods I thought were healthy but found out with more research and no weight loss that the foods were terrible still for my body. This video is very inspirational for me and since I know Shannon personally and have all faith in her I know I could trust the program and maybe this is exactly what I need. THANK YOU! Cant wait to see more
Love how you guys do things together.
The best this about going plant based is that you can stuff your face with the right food - just as greedy as ever I was, just a lot thinner as well, and with healthy blood pressure, ^oo^
Awesome video. Thanks for sharing , you both look amazing! Subscribed
Congratulations! Thanks for sharing your story, it’s so inspiring for those of us still struggling. 💜
Thank you for sharing your journey! It is extremely helpful to me and I'm sure to others, I was never over weight until I was a senior in high school I had extra +10 lbs. First year in collage I gained 40lbs, it was literally over 1st semester, it was HORRIBLE! I continued to gain 5lbs a year for the next 8 years, I made it to 238 same weight as Mike Tyson heavy weight champ, nothing champ about my weight. I was infertile (PCOS) unhappy and low energy no stamina. I had a gastric bypass at age 27 lost 103lbs I felt great and looked great, I gave birth to two wonderful children and I had gained back 30 lbs in 6 years, again same rate 5 lbs a year, I decided to get fit again, work out 5 days a week for 1 hour a day and cut out dairy, bread and sugar it worked, I had lost 40lbs and put on a lot of muscle, looked like a superhero, i felt great only lasted 3 years. Now I have gained back 45 lbs in last 7 years. I will read both books you used and implement your healthy lifestyle I'm now 44.5 and I don't want health issues, I will finally do this correctly, no surgery no over exercising something sustainable and healthy. Thanks a Million!!!
Thank you for the playlist, looking forward to 2019!
Love you guys!!!! Thank you for your transparency of your struggles and your solution! Super great! 😄😘❤️
Wonderfull work thank you guys for share this experience with us
You’re both so healthy and lovable. Congratulations
You two look awesome! Very inspiring! Thank you ~ 🌻🌻
I'm so happy for both of you.
Congratulations!
So Proud Of You Guys! Investing On Your Health Is Wealth! 🌱
You should list the books that helped you in the data section....great video guys!!!
Opps, you did. :) I'm a big Fuhrman fan, I just picked up his latest book Fast Food Genocide....I will have to check out Bright Line Eating! Thanks guys!
Thank you for sharing. This must have been hard to share but so important. You both look amazing and the health benefits are amazing.
Great job guys and very genuine. Continued success!! Vegan for life!!😊
Awesome! I’m in tears. You two are so inspiring. I can do this now! Thank you!
Very inspirational Video, Thank you ! Recently went plant based and can say that my GERD hasnt came back at all. experience is proof.
@@thatdiycouple5513 thank you, truly appreciate the reply . wish you well on your journey , you guys are doing great , setting up amazing examples for people to follow . you guys are very inspirational :) keep doing great !
Congrats. I was having issues losing last 10lbs and since going back vegan it’s just dropping off without even trying . I contribute that to ditching oils, high fats , sugar and anything processed , fried as well as animal foods. Cheers to good heath .
Wow, just, wow. Thank you! I came across your video searching for "things I wish I knew" with regards to weightloss. When you guys said that you didn't realize how overweight you were or how it is as affecting your health I started crying. I currently wear a size 3xl and I'm only 5 foot 3. I'm 38 and weigh 85kg - so in the obese category. I've been on so many diets - weight watchers, weigh less, kelfit, calorie counting, keto etc. Keto made me so ill - I just can't do all that fat! Currently I don't have any other health issues such as high BP - mine is normal (on the low side), I don't have high cholesterol, I don't have diabetes or pre diabetes (yet). I do have a lot of digestive issues like heartburn, reflux, I also have cystic acne, allergies (which is new to me) and underactive thyroid. Since this coronavirus hit and they started doing saying obesity is a risk factor I have thought - this is it. This is my "why" reason to lose weight. I just don't know where to start! Luckily I do enjoy a good workout and I do enjoy healthy foods (vegetables and lean proteins) - but my down fall is sugar, gluten /flour and dairy. Any advice or help would probably be life saving at this point - please reach out to me!
@@thatdiycouple5513 thank you! I will look it up now!
Such a sweet couple! My hubby and I have done great with vegetarian/vegan when we've tried it. I think UA-cam recommended you to me because we're doing juicing/salads/smoothies this week to do a reboot. Might extend that for another week or month or 2!

Hi Shannon & John. New sub here, stumbled across your channel & so happy I did! I’m catching up on your content & have enjoyed what I’ve seen so far. Thank you 😊
I’ve heard of almost all the books you’ve talked about over a few videos but I’ve never heard of BLE...it sounds tremendous & I’m going to do my research & give it a go. I’m desperate to lose 10 to 12 kilograms & get back to my happy & comfortable weight.
Keep up the good work. Cheers from Tracey in warm/humid & sunny North Queensland Australia 🇦🇺👋🏻👋🏻👋🏻🙂
Congrats on finding health through going vegan 🍀
Love you guys! You are so compassionate with yourselves and others! Keep these videos coming!
Thank you! Super inspirational! Keeps me motivated and validates why I went 100% plant based. Great video and message!
Shannon and John, I love this! I'll have to look at those two books. You guys look so happy and comfortable in your own skin. I can't wait for more videos. And, I am so happy to see you. I miss you, Shannon!
You guys are awesome. Thanks for sharing. I just started BLE 2 weeks ago and have lost 6 pounds. I am in it for the long haul. I am much older then you two but its never too late to get healthy right? Thanks for sharing your story.
The future is vegan ✨💜 you are both such inspirations to this movement, thank you for sharing your experiences :)
You guys are honest and you motivate me. Love your channel. I am now a new subscriber.
I'm losing weight myself and have lost going on 50 lbs. Not sure with my age, I'm 65, what will be my ideal weight as I've been overweight, no, obese for 20 years. I did weigh at one point 115 to 135. People told me I was too think at 115, but I'm only 5'5.5".
I have gone vegan as I can't lose weight any other way. It is slow and, my husband who is still about 70 lbs. overweight is just not too interested, it is I have to tell him what to do which I'd rather he spend some time to do his own coaching by finding inspiring videos and what foods would help him.
He's had high blood pressure and we got that down with getting him off sodas, sugar and salt mostly. But he is not disciplined and is driving me crazy. He puts margarine on everything and can't stand it unless he is gorging on eggs every couple of days.
I feel like I am his mother and not his wife. He is retired and is a TV junkie.
Thanks for the great video and congratulations you two, and so glad you have one another. You look so in love.
Awesome inspiring video!!! I’m so happy you two have figured this out at such a young age! God bless you both and your marriage!💜🙏🏻
Wow. Thank you so much for sharing. So inspiring and relatable.
Beautiful couples. She is beautiful n he is really really handsome.. Keep going for more achievements
Thank you so much for these videos! I have been eating ok and exercising quite a bit for sometime now but cant seem to lose weight. I want to lose 108 lbs in 10-11 mos. I hate eating animals but have had health problems when going meatless in the past. I went vegetarian for a year in my early 20s and started having health issues and really exacerbated mental issues...but I'm sure I just wasnt getting enough iron or the right nutrients. I want to try becoming vegan but as someone with mental health diagnoses who is just about to start a nursing program, it's really important to me that I take care of my mental health. Are there some top vegan foods you can recommend that provide protein and iron or maybe some of your favorite vegan staples? Thank you either way ❤
I totally relate to this oh my god. I’m kind of obsessed w my studies..
