You are advertising something so no!, I can't take that.
I have always admired your confidence in all your body sizes. Birthing 8 kids is no joke, but you embrace your body no matter what. I love that.
Beautiful family...What I love most is how the siblings treat one another...they don't compete for attention, they don't steal the shine from one another and the parent's do not make differences in the children...also the parents do not talk down to the children...making 1 feel less than the others as I have seen parents do on youtube...Great parents and beautiful children/siblings ❤❤❤❤❤
So true!!
Great message! ❤❤❤
I love how Joe never looks stressed about anything... I desire such an outlook... Love it. Congratulations Alena!
Like the baby she was holding. Too cute 😊
Who’s joe? The husband ?
@@Irisha212yea Joe is the husband
U look so pretty in your watermelon outfit!!! Congratulations on the weight loss🎉
He's Hen-pecked and disassociated...
You have always had the face of a model.
I can't look at her without thinking of Alek Wek. GORGEOUS.
That’s an absolutely lie lol. Congrats on the weight loss .
@@heinuchung8680yea she doesn't look like a model
@@heinuchung8680no, it’s not a lie, it’s an opinion. Just because you don’t agree doesn’t mean it’s not true.
Am not a negative person and I like hyping people but on this you lied
You go girl! I have 6 children and walking has always been my go to exercise. I also lost 50 pounds by just walking. Keep up the great work!!
She has 8 children.
@@sduolcepoh9815And? 6 isn’t far from 8.
love your last name
I used to walk almost everyday even with a knee that needed replacement, but now since my injured knee AND my good knee have both become severely arthritic and I can barely walk I gained about 40lbs in less than 6mos.
Walking is a blessing too many ppl take for granted.
@206Scorpio75 Arthritis runs in my family, so I can relate. Pool aerobics or water exercises can be easier on the joints.
Joe playing with the kids. Too cute. Great Dada right there
I am not a constant viewer but I have to say, every time I come across your video, I am inspired. The love you have for your family and the determination/focus you have to reach your goals is inspiring. Stay blessed.
Families are supposed to be this real and beautiful. Present parents who make their children feel seen, heard, cared for and loved. Children who make parenting easy. It looks like a lot of fun to be in this family there's time for everyone and everything.
Mazelee I discovered you immediately covid hit and I got hooked.
Love 💕 from Kenya 🇰🇪
🙏🙏❤❤❤❤
As a long time follower of this family, I can tell the reason this women seems content, able to feel good in her skin, exude confidence and really able to live her true authentic self, is due to having a supportive, caring and most of all loving partner. It trickles down to the children and rest of the family, which in turn uplifts the family as a whole and embodies the empowerment of a healthy family. Ladies and gentlemen at the end of the day this is what it's all about if you truly want a healthy nuclear family separate from all toxicity. As someone who never received such support in my marriage I can't tell you how refreshing it is to see those that do, moral of the story please choose your spouse/who you procreate with wisely! Be blessed🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Well said!
Amen! I can attest to that unfortunately.
Or love yourself 🤗
Yes
And if I may ad, she is living her purpose. She wanted a big family and went after her education. She has an determination and discipline that is amazing!
She seems very in sync. with life tended to be for her. I love it!🥰💪🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
God bless you!🙏🏽💝😊
That's how I lost weight, I went from 275 lbs. to 145 as of today. My goal is 130 lbs.
My goal is 130 also. Hope i hit it in 2024. Doing it the healthiest way possible so it will take time.
Girl, you are truly a mother of nations. God bless you all. May God continue to enlarge your boarders. Amen
Joe,
Go get your complete physical please, to be on the safe side. Not only for your wonderful Daddy-self but for your beautiful family. It’s a part of raising children keeping yourself healthy. They have a lot of energy and are in good health. Maze said she’s in good health especially since she just had the baby. Giving GOD ALL THE GLORY as your family always does. I know he has you all covered. As you look after your family make sure you look after yourself. Take care from an old OG. Your family is one of my favorite families to watch besides my own family and friends. LOVE YOU ALL and keep your positive life experiences coming. It’s important and very inspiring to others. GOD BLESS❤
There’s no freaking way you have 8 children 😱 YOU LOOK SO AMAZING! So inspiring ✨ you have a beautiful family🥰
I'm a mother of 4, and this video encouraged me to continue to take my health more seriously.
Congratulations you look amazing I lost 55lbs by changing my eating lifestyle feels so good 😊🙏👍🏼
You know I remember when the the kids were itty bitty and now that are sooooo big. I’ve literally watched their life and them grow. So wholesome 🤍
People should listen to signals: Joe needs to get a physical, and follow up on that chest pain. You don't want to be caught by surprise. Don't let his small size deceive you.
I was thinking the same. Chest pains are not to be ignored.
Walking is THE way! I'm currently averaging 11K steps/day and it's been great for my mental health. Married mom of 3 under 9.
That was the sweetest video. Love Little Butter's❤ sweet little face, and Joe playing with the children as the sun was setting. So beautiful!
It was. It made me smile. I am so happy for them. They are truly blessed.
Love the kids playing with Joe at the end. I love hearing kids play. If you close your eyes and listen, it is the sweetest sound in the world! It relaxes and brings joy to the soul. "Children are an heritage of the Lord: and the fruit of the womb his reward..........Happy is the man who hath his quiver full of them....." (Psalms 127 3-5) Thank God for children and the parents who are blessed to have them. Bless you all.❤
Yes and Amen! Congratulations Lee family.
So beautiful!
I really love Akyli's personality. She's calm and never over the top!
Not like her mother 😂
@@alisoncasement5509 😂🤣
yes me too
Introvert
🤣she is literally just like joe
My granddaughter who is 4 1/2 and is autistic just learn to speak in the last year. Not in sentences but her mom put Noggin on her iPad and she just started saying all the planets and learning how to write words she saw on there. One day she started talking about a Rhombus . So she just has learned a lot n Noggin.
One day this family will look all back in their old age and smile from all the memories they were blessed to have. I hope they realize how blessed they are. Joe and Alena's relationship is one of a kind.
Congratulations !!! Walking definitely produces results.. I started at 6,000 steps now up to 10,000. Goal is 20,000!!! Let's Go!!!!
Thank you for the honest explanation of how you are losing weight. It is very inspiring. I've been struggling with the need to loss 75 pounds. I think the large number has overwhelmed me into doing nothing. But your explanation is so simple...start walking. Back to the basics. I can do that. Thanks.🙂
Congratulations on your weight loss! Love your energy 👏👏👏🙌🙌🙌
Joe has the patience of a saint, keep an eye on that chest pain sir.
I hope Joe gets checked out! Chest pains could be a sign of something. Even after they subside.
He definitely should get checked, I don't like how they just brushed it off
Cardiac RN agreeing with The Mazeelee Family: Joe, go to the ER! Heart Attacks are Silent Killers!!
Also, he should get his upper digestive system checked out. Sometimes issues with the esophagus and stomach can cause chest pain. Some are easily treated and others can be more serious. So, definitely get to a doctor quickly Joe!!!
I agree he Cleary looked like he didn't feel well
It's important to check with your doctor before you start an exercise program. Chest pain can be serious.
😁😁Nice family fun. Joe playing with the children was so enjoyable to watch.
The way the baby was looking down at Joe's food was so cute. I bet he was planning something. I saw that hand was coming up to get something.😂😂He's so adorable scratching his gums.😍😍
Congrats on your weight loss, Alena. Stress is my nemesis. Thanks for sharing.👍🏽💖💖
The clip of Joe with the kiddos playing the chicken thing is so sweet 💚
That baby boy is absolutely gorgeous 😊
Congratulations 💐 🎉🎉
Butters is so adorable! I love those baby stages, but I'm happy to have mine at 8 years now because whewwwww.
That ramen looked darn good.
Alaina looks FANTASTIC!! KEEP up the good work! It's good to see all the children having a good time!!

Congrats on getting the weight off~ 🎉👍 As a autistic millennial I was also at 220 a few year's ago but very self conscious & didn't realize I let my weight get to that point until going on the scale 1 day. I just had enough. I might have done this the unconventional way to loose weight but it does work. I started exercising to both Sweatin To The Oldies 2 With Richard Simmons I also did exercise to kpop dance practice videos for 3 hours each morning starting at 4 am & being done around 7 am. I also did portion control & started to count calories to see exactly how much I was putting in my system. I have hypothyroidism & decided to look up foods that are good & bad for hypothyroidism. Foods that are good I eat. Foods that are bad I try to avoid for the most part or have once in a great while. For breakfast: Oatmeal with cinnamon, & honey sprinkled in with blueberries, 1 orange, 10 green grapes, organic gerber puffs, & body armor drink mixed with oatmeal for 1 minute. Lunch: Plain burger with sliced mushrooms & 1 slice of tomato 1 glass of white milk & nothing else. A friend taught me a rule with weight loss: for breakfast eat like a king, Lunch eat like a pauper, & dinner eat like a peasant. I managed to get 65 pounds off so far down to 158. Want to try to get down to 120 not sure if that's to extreme but sticking with exercising, portion control, & eating the right foods for life now. I'll say this much it was defently interesting when going for my yearly physical & the doctor asking what I did to loose weight lol~ 🤣 I told him about exercising to kpop dance practice videos & Sweatin To The Oldies With Richard Simmons & how I portion control & just watch what I eat & he's like ok~ 🤣 No one told me what to do I looked alot of stuff online & just really researched what to do before I put different foods into my body. The thing that bothered me I asked the doctor what type of thyroid problem I have & they refused to tell me except to say I had a thyroid problem I was doing diets & exercises for the other thyroid conditions on & off & nothing was working. When I did diet & exercise for hypothyroidism it finally worked figured if it didn't I was ready to give up. Credit goes to God (Jesus Christ) for giving me the wisdom to look stuff up & get back on track to being alot healthier now than before. One other thing I did: I cut out all junk food: chips, candy etc substituted it with fruits & veggies all the way. If I do have chips now it's baked & I check the labels on all the food~ 🤷♀️✌️🤙 Went from wearing size 20 to size 10~ 🎉
Blessing! Awesome job on your weight loss journey.
Yea, keep up the good work🦋
@kharmon0101 Thank you~ 👍
@Knowthyself5044
Thank you~ 😅👍 I will~ 🤣✌️
Wow! Well done you! Keep up
the good work. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
It’s nice to see kids having good old fashion fun- the ending of the video with the kids playing is awesome.
That was a game I've never heard of Joe; looked fun though. Chicken fighting? Makes me want to be a kid again.😊
Beautiful beautiful! So many people underestimate the simplicity of walking. Alena, make sure you don’t have a condition called Diastsis Recti. It’s when the ab muscles become separated after childbirth. Certain exercises like crunches makes it worse if those muscles haven’t been properly closed. Keep up the great work and making time for yourself! ❤😘💪🏽
Congratulations 🎊, keep going, you will get those results ❤
I can see the weight loss in your face. Keep up the good work. Let the kids chase you around the park. Have fun and lose weight at the same time.
You look awesome girl. That is what I do, I call it my prayer walk I love walking and talking to Jesus. But you do look taller, your posture is noticeable. You look good. Congratulations!🎉🎈 whoo hoo!
I love hearing how excited she is for her journey and goals with wellness.
arazo should be in gymnastics 😩
MAZELEE, as a supporter of your channel, I wanted to ask you, I know that your husband is the children's wonderful father, but how many of your beautiful children are the biological children of your husband?
I think only 4. The 4 youngest children.
❤🎉🎉🎉 I'm soooo happy for you!! You are so brave to be transparent with us. We both have pooches to get rid of or strengthen. And God bless the men in our lives who have been unbothered by it & still loving us😂❤
My Neph nickname is Butter.
My military nephew told me doing jumping Jack's really will burn off weight and water weight too but Congratulations 🎊👏🏽💐🥳🙌🏾🎉to you on your weight lost journey Blessing 🙌🏾🙏🏽👏🏽
Joe and the children are grrrreat ❤ love how your family keep active 😊
Congratulations and that color looks gorgeous on you!
I’m just seeing this now. Congratulations. I lost 50 pounds myself when we moved from North Carolina USA to Ghana West Africa. The food is healthier. The heat makes me actually sweat and doing a lot more physical work rather than the repetitive work in a plastic factory as a process tech. I got a little sick recently and lost 10 more pounds. I’m feeling much better but determining to keep those 10 pounds off. Also, I do a lot of walking on the treadmill.
Woo hoo! Congrtats girl. When i was working i was doing 20,000 plus steps. Now im pregnant getting awful pelvic pain ive had to take mat leave so early. I can’t want to get active again never seen my legs so big 😢😢 but this is my first child so the changes are all a shock to me.
Congrats, you will be fine. The moment the baby comes out, wrap your belly for 6 months. Get a treadmill and walk 30 minutes a day after 3 weeks of giving birth. If you have a c- section, then talk with your doc before you wrap your belly. Stay bless.
Can you show us what meals your prepare please and thank you.
Then after all that weight loss you’ll get pregnant again 😂
Ajedi's twin has a beautiful curly AFRO!
You guys make having a big family effortlessly fun despite all odds! More strength and Courage to you both. You guys bring light and joy to us by sharing your memories with us. 🤗🤗🤗😍😍😍
💞💞
Your baby is so big already 😮 and you look great !! God bless you. You're my inspiration through our Lord Jesus, love you and your beautiful family ❤
I love this entire family. ❤❤ these videos really brighten my day.
Every doctor has been saying walking is the #1 means for weight loss for DECADES. I remember seeing a cousin of mine who lost significant weight because she walked everywhere! Tried and true.
Congratulations 🎉Alena! It is important that we women prioritize our health. It is easy to lose yourself as a wife, mother. Praise God!
Congrats on your weight loss!!🎉 counting my steps is when I lost the most weight. I started walking on the treadmill for an hr at the highest incline, it's been very hard. My heart started to hurt a little, but after two days I felt great. I'm 36 and every year i get older I struggle more with workouts. Trying to change that before the yr is over even if I just do high intensity for 15 minutes. Keep it up Mazelee Family 😍
I was praying today for motivation for my weight loss journey. So glad I came back to your videos today!
Great job 👏
You’re looking so good already
All the best on your journey ❤
All of your children are beautiful, I keep saying your last one is the cutest and then you go and have another one. In my next life I want a husband like Joe, you guys are all amazing. Very inspiring family!
So very inspirational to others like me. Especially the walking 🚶♀️ ❤
To be surrounded by so many kids is so bliss🥺❤️
You Have The 3 Very, Very Precious Gifts Of Motherhood, And Being A Great Wife, And Also Being A Beautiful Women Of Our God's At All Time's, And They Shall Call Her Blessed ❤😊❤, That's U Alena 👍🏿👍🏼👍🏽!!! 😊

Elaina, you may have diastasis & may have to have surgery to pull muscles back together. If the exercises don't work 😢😢
Hey you guys, I really enjoy your videos especially ones like this one that inspire and encourage us all to do our personal best while valuing family and making beautiful memories together ❤. Great job Akylee on that 6:40 mile run! Awesome stamina. Nice effort by Joe on that 5:15 pace - that's really fast, and I'm glad you were wise enough to respond to your body's signal. Give it a couple of weeks of practice and you'll be whizzing through a mile with minimal effort. Finally, and most of all - hip hip hurray to Alaina on the 50 lb melt-off!! 💪💪👏👏👐
This was so beautiful! Thanks for putting a smile on my face and reminding me what’s important in life, spending quality time with my love ones and nurturing my children. I love you guys❤
Let’s go, Sis! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

I need to do more walking again! I used to do 6 miles every morning when I was single. I've been doing ifit and it's been a tremendous help.
Omg you look so good
Joe was holding his chest, is he okay?
Hey MazeLee Fam,
You are amazing Alena! I would never know how its like to have 8 kids (i have just 1) and it would be nice to have a big family to pass down the traditions. This family is blessed to have you. 😊Your family is one of a kind. You look fit and beautiful, go get it mamas! Have a good one guys ❤
You look so fabulous. Congrats. Your baby is the cutest!
I thought to share that Butters sounds like the cutest name! However sadly it means something really bad in the UK. It’s a slang word used to insult people.
But Butter without the ‘s’ has no bad meaning.
❤❤❤
