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.
I'm struggling to do what is right for my body. Having arthritis makes life difficult. Veganism is my goal. Fruits and veggies make sense. To be blunt, I want a life, not just to be present. Your video is inspiring.
@@thatdiycouple5513 hey. I too suffer chronic pain. I too have gone vegetarian working towards veganism. I can tell a major difference. I am learning. It is so much fun and interesting and an adventure. It feels good to be able to eat tons of food and not have to feel like you have to watch fat calories and all tht. Good Luck. Enjoy.
@@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.
This was so inspiring. I have about 40-50 lbs of weight to lose and sometimes it feels like I never will. I’m 5’4 and 180lbs. My goal weight is 130-140 lbs. In 2015 I weighed about 125-130 lbs. I believe poor eating and meds have made me gain weight, but before this time I’ve always been petite. Thank you for your time and video. It has encouraged me to keep moving forward, soon I will start a plant based diet and I’m already working out. I’ll get there! ^_^
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!
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 .
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.
This is so inspiring!!! I am also overweight and need to lose considerable weight. I am now 1 week into my vegan journey. I’m so happy I found this video and can’t wait to see the results!!! You both did incredibly well!!! Well done! 👏🏼
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.
I went plant based a long time ago but i quickly lost 80 lbs by diet change alone and have been the same weight for years now. I lost 9 sizes on just my pants. Im a short guy so it is terribly hard to find clothing now but i guess thats a good problem lol. What you eat is the most important thing you can do for yourself. My only regret was that i didnt do it sooner and while i was in my 20s haha.
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.
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!
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
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 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...
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.
🥀 Hi ! I started watching Yazemeenah Rossi's TH-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 ! 😍🌹
Not sure if you will see but after 5 yesrs of posting this / thanj goodness for you posting this. It was a genuine journey which is genually hard to come across especially goinf to veganism. To many people are aesthetic regarsing this but let me tell you think THANK YOU.
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!!!!!
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 lost 29 pounds in 12 months, was vegetarian for 5 months and then vegan for 7 months. Most of my weight loss came in the latter months once I went vegan. It's been so beneficial for me, and I'm not even eating at my healthiest. Now that I'm out of school, I'll be able to cook less processed meals so I can't wait to be able to feel even better.
Omg thank you! I tried the eat to live plan and felt like I was the only person in the world who couldn't lose weight eating salads. I hope bright line eating will help me too.
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.
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? :)
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 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 🥳
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.
Well done guys. I can really relate to yr stories. I struggled with weight since a child too. I use food to comfort, when I feel stressed to eat more. My weight was a yoyo, i used exercise to keep me trimmed. When I took on full time job 4 months ago, stopped exercising worked longer more stressed. The job and the promotion gained me a stone! In the last 11days I decided to go plant based life style. I love it, for the first time I felt I can truly eat good carbs. Rice, veg, beans and potatoes makes me feel full! I dont binge or overeat as much anymore. Lost 5-6lbs in 11days too! Way to live, more happier inside. 🙏😘
I have a similar story only it has gone on much longer. I’m in my 60’s and just started a vegan plan. It is amazing how much better I feel. And weight is starting to melt away. 😊 thank you for your story.
y'all are amazing!! love your vibe. love your story. love your honesty. my favorite vids so far are the weekly prep vids. this is going to be the key for me. maybe do one on kitchen appliances? I just bought a high powered blender that will get the stuff hot inside if I want to make a nut-based cheese sauce. looking forward to using my insta pot too.
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.
Kudos to you both and thank you for your selfless tribute! So many struggle and want to change, but don't believe it is possible. Your story makes possibility a reality, not just a dream. Hopefully more and more people will see your video and benefit from it and others like it.
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.
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...
DIY Couple, ya'll are super awesome and encouraging! I know exactly how you used to feel and I'm on a journey to be healthy. I just lost 20 lp in 1 month. The only thing i did was quit junk food. This includes candy, soda, pizza, potato chips, fast food, energy drinks, etc. I really love bread and diary so i decided to quit those too. To replace the junk food, I ate kale, spinach, olive oil, coconut oil, fruits, and once a week home baked potato. To replace the creamer in my coffee, I had KetoCreamer (which was really great). I did have yogurt once a week. I did have a serving of a desert 1 time a week on weekends. Now that I'm entering my second month, I realize that I need to eat more protein. Way back when i was in college, I was working out an hour a day and eating really healthy salads with a side of meat. Due to fatigue, my metabolism collapsed and I just started eating everything bad- consequently I gained 100 lb. Looking back now I realize I wasn't eating enough protein. I over worked my muscles and didn't feed them right. Now, I'm considering becoming a vegan and looking at veggies high in protein. I want to be healthier than i was in college! And i want to be this healthy for life!
Well done, Congratulations on what you both achieve as a couple against the overweight by adapting the right rythme of food. Me and my wife are trying to do the same thing together. that's why i thing you're a good remodel to follow. keep up the good news and how did you do it and what did you eat in général.
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!
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 🥩
Good for you both! You both look awesome! My wife and I are in the same boat only needing to lose just about 1/3rd of what you guys did. I've lost 25lbs with maybe 10 more to go, my wife has about the same but honestly even 20 will be perfect for her as she is only about 140lbs now. I'm now in the phase of folding in exercise.
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 ❤
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
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.
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)
10:09 holyy😍🤤 haha this is an inspiring vid. 22 days vegan now and I don't see myself ever turning back. I'm already smaller and complexion in face is glowing. Haven't had acid reflux even once since vs getting it every day. Oh and mental fatigue and lethargy are gone.. this is the worlds best kept secret
Thanks for your video, what an amazing transformation and a healthy one as well. Way to go! I've been vegan for just over a year and never plan to go back. I feel 100% better, feel extra good about the environment and animals too.
Really enjoyed this video, you guys are great. It’s really great that y’all are doing this together. What y’all doing Now. It would be really nice if ya keep sharing with us. Have a wonderful day.👍👍👍😊😊😊
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 !
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.
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
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
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!!!

I went plant based a long time ago but i quickly lost 80 lbs by diet change alone and have been the same weight for years now. I lost 9 sizes on just my pants. Im a short guy so it is terribly hard to find clothing now but i guess thats a good problem lol. What you eat is the most important thing you can do for yourself. My only regret was that i didnt do it sooner and while i was in my 20s haha.
You guys are so cool and honest and vulnerable. Very genuine, warm and kind-hearted people! Wish we had more people like you in this world
Congratulations!
I can't think why on earth anyone would give this video a thumbs down - maybe they're jealous.

What a lot of nasty people
Didn’t even notice background music🤷♀️
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.
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?
I just started my vegan journey. You guys are gold! your authenticity your love, and your inner light inspired me so much!
Congratulations!! I have just started a Plant based diet and loving it... Can already feel the change. Your story is inspiring
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.
I cried. My story is the same as hers and it feels good to hear someone who understands the struggle and shame
I read eat to live a few years ago. I am looking forward to your new videos. Thank you!!
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! :)
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.
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.
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 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.
My husband reversed diabetes, high cholesterol and high blood pressure by going vegan.
Shannabanana McInnis-Hurd congratulations. That is life changing
sanjeev gaikwad truly.
Wonderfull work thank you guys for share this experience with us
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 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...
THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR STORY!!! How brave of you and please know that it helps others! You are truly an inspiration!!!
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, you have inspired me to stay on the new path of plant based eating I have started a week ago
🥀 Hi ! I started watching Yazemeenah Rossi's TH-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 ! 😍🌹
Awesome to see the vegan message spread in such an inspiring, non-pushy way. You guys are great!
Not sure if you will see but after 5 yesrs of posting this / thanj goodness for you posting this. It was a genuine journey which is genually hard to come across especially goinf to veganism.
To many people are aesthetic regarsing this but let me tell you think THANK YOU.
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!!!!!
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!!
How about an update video on this? After several years are you doing the same habits or have any things changed?
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 lost 29 pounds in 12 months, was vegetarian for 5 months and then vegan for 7 months. Most of my weight loss came in the latter months once I went vegan. It's been so beneficial for me, and I'm not even eating at my healthiest. Now that I'm out of school, I'll be able to cook less processed meals so I can't wait to be able to feel even better.
I want to cook healthier overall, try new fruits & vegetables, and avoid late night eating
Omg thank you! I tried the eat to live plan and felt like I was the only person in the world who couldn't lose weight eating salads. I hope bright line eating will help me too.
Great job, nicely done believable and inspirational. Especially the “team” feel to your supportive relationship over time...independent yet loving.
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 😊
Congratulations! Thanks for sharing your story, it’s so inspiring for those of us still struggling. 💜
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.
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? :)
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.
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.
Thank you for sharing your inspiring story on your journey to wellness.
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 🥳
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.
Well done guys. I can really relate to yr stories. I struggled with weight since a child too.
I use food to comfort, when I feel stressed to eat more. My weight was a yoyo, i used exercise to keep me trimmed. When I took on full time job 4 months ago, stopped exercising worked longer more stressed. The job and the promotion gained me a stone!
In the last 11days I decided to go plant based life style. I love it, for the first time I felt I can truly eat good carbs. Rice, veg, beans and potatoes makes me feel full! I dont binge or overeat as much anymore. Lost 5-6lbs in 11days too!
Way to live, more happier inside. 🙏😘
I have a similar story only it has gone on much longer. I’m in my 60’s and just started a vegan plan. It is amazing how much better I feel. And weight is starting to melt away. 😊 thank you for your story.
y'all are amazing!! love your vibe. love your story. love your honesty. my favorite vids so far are the weekly prep vids. this is going to be the key for me. maybe do one on kitchen appliances? I just bought a high powered blender that will get the stuff hot inside if I want to make a nut-based cheese sauce. looking forward to using my insta pot too.
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.
Loved watching your story !!!! You guys are inspiring.
Kudos to you both and thank you for your selfless tribute! So many struggle and want to change, but don't believe it is possible. Your story makes possibility a reality, not just a dream. Hopefully more and more people will see your video and benefit from it and others like it.
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.
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...
DIY Couple, ya'll are super awesome and encouraging! I know exactly how you used to feel and I'm on a journey to be healthy.
I just lost 20 lp in 1 month. The only thing i did was quit junk food. This includes candy, soda, pizza, potato chips, fast food, energy drinks, etc. I really love bread and diary so i decided to quit those too. To replace the junk food, I ate kale, spinach, olive oil, coconut oil, fruits, and once a week home baked potato. To replace the creamer in my coffee, I had KetoCreamer (which was really great). I did have yogurt once a week. I did have a serving of a desert 1 time a week on weekends. Now that I'm entering my second month, I realize that I need to eat more protein. Way back when i was in college, I was working out an hour a day and eating really healthy salads with a side of meat. Due to fatigue, my metabolism collapsed and I just started eating everything bad- consequently I gained 100 lb. Looking back now I realize I wasn't eating enough protein. I over worked my muscles and didn't feed them right. Now, I'm considering becoming a vegan and looking at veggies high in protein. I want to be healthier than i was in college! And i want to be this healthy for life!
Amazing!! Thanks for sharing your success and struggles! Encouraging 😊
You guys are honest and you motivate me. Love your channel. I am now a new subscriber.
Wow. Very inspiring. Dramatic changes for the better. 🎖️🎖️
Well done, Congratulations on what you both achieve as a couple against the overweight by adapting the right rythme of food. Me and my wife are trying to do the same thing together. that's why i thing you're a good remodel to follow. keep up the good news and how did you do it and what did you eat in général.
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!
What an inspirational video! Thank you for sharing your journey with all of us! 😌
Congratulations on your great achievements. You both look great. Thanks for sharing and inspiring.
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 🥩
You two look awesome! Very inspiring! Thank you ~ 🌻🌻
I'm so happy for both of you.
Congratulations!
Good for you both! You both look awesome! My wife and I are in the same boat only needing to lose just about 1/3rd of what you guys did. I've lost 25lbs with maybe 10 more to go, my wife has about the same but honestly even 20 will be perfect for her as she is only about 140lbs now. I'm now in the phase of folding in exercise.
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 ❤
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
Veganism all the way!
🍔🍔🍔🍔🍕🌮🍟🍕🍕🌮🍕
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.
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)
Thank you for sharing your testimony! Your story is incredibly inspirational. God bless you guys!!
10:09 holyy😍🤤 haha this is an inspiring vid. 22 days vegan now and I don't see myself ever turning back. I'm already smaller and complexion in face is glowing. Haven't had acid reflux even once since vs getting it every day. Oh and mental fatigue and lethargy are gone.. this is the worlds best kept secret
Thanks for your video, what an amazing transformation and a healthy one as well. Way to go! I've been vegan for just over a year and never plan to go back. I feel 100% better, feel extra good about the environment and animals too.
Really enjoyed this video, you guys are great. It’s really great that y’all are doing this together. What y’all doing
Now. It would be really nice if ya keep sharing with us. Have a wonderful day.👍👍👍😊😊😊
Great inspirational video... Thanks for your candor... Love it... Subscribed
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 !
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.
Awesome video. Thanks for sharing , you both look amazing! Subscribed
So Proud Of You Guys! Investing On Your Health Is Wealth! 🌱
Awesome, you guys❤️. Thanks for sharing!!
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
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
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...
Love how you guys do things together.
The future is vegan ✨💜 you are both such inspirations to this movement, thank you for sharing your experiences :)
Love you guys!!!! Thank you for your transparency of your struggles and your solution! Super great! 😄😘❤️
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!
not a diet, a lifestyle, a choice.
Great job guys! Thank you for sharing! 😊
