Is it far from Jessica's work where you are moving?
I m happy you Look fantastic See you
I honestly do not care that you guys gained weight. I’m just happy to see you again.
Me too!
Me too! 😊
Me too!
Same
right?? We just love you guys!
“We’re sorry if we’re not the best example”: you ARE the best example! Most people who have had long-term and substantial weight struggles share in the ups-and-downs of seeking better health can relate to your journey. You both are wonderful examples: of COURAGE, to share your pain as well as your triumphs; and of DEDICATION: no matter how many times we fall, to always get back up again. You keep it real and relatable - you are fine “examples,” and thank you for your courage and dedication. 💕
This! Thank you so much for saying this.
Beautifully said, Alexandra! I was trying to find the words to say and you said them so well.
Give yourself time, dear. Grieving is a process that no one can tell you when your done. In your time!
Aww you broke my heart when you said, “we are sorry if we are not the best example” 😢😢😢. I absolutely LOVE you guys because you are so real and transparent. You are a perfect example of what most of us struggle with when it comes to losing and managing weight.
I am so happy and excited you are back. I love you guys. You are the ONLY vegan RUclipsrs my non-vegan husband likes. He has even tried and enjoyed some of your recipes. So you guys penetrate more people then you can even imagine. My motto is, “NEVER, EVER GIVE UP !!” We are all just one bite away from change. Thank you for helping us and coming back to continue to help us. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Glad to see you again. I need a restart too. Let's go!
We’ve never met, and I don’t know that we ever will, but I consider you both “friends that I haven’t met yet.” No path is ever straight and smooth, but every time y’all get down, you get back up. Regardless of the lies your mirror may tell you, your honesty and determination are inspiring.
Outstanding comment!!!
Hear hear!! 🥂
I have to say that is similar to what I wanted to say to you two! We'll leave it at that. Best wishes :) :)
So well said ❤️
You being real is so much more encouraging to us than if you acted like everything was great when it wasn't. Thank you for being authentic.
Exactly - perfection is intimidating and very hard to relate to.
Being authentic and honest is the most important thing…if you need us for accountability…I’m in! 💚 so very sorry for your loss.
I love how real you are!! Thank you for being you!
I'm just glad you're back. Your recipes and your sweetness as people are why I'm here.
I am down 100 pounds from eating this way and I have definitely fallen off many times and gotten back and I know you guys are going to as well! I am so sorry to hear about your grandma she sounded like an amazing supportive person. ❤️ I wish you guys the best with the new life changes! I am glad you guys are back!
Life happens…..give yourselves grace. No one is on a pedestal…..we’re all on our own path. No ones perfect. We love you! ❤️
As my grandma always said “the squeaky wheel gets the grease!” It’s okay to change your priorities for a time being. That’s life. You both are great people and have done amazing in your adventure thus far! You are more than just your body
No blasting here, but I do have advice (something I'm just learning myself). Don't eat WFPB for weight loss, eat it for your health. It's a different type of motivation. Do it for your health and the weight will fall in place naturally.
Definitely. Not chasing quick weight loss and focusing on health is key! Great advice!
Yes
Don't even do it for that. Eat vegan for the animals and the planet, but keep your health in the back of your head as a reminded. But it's incredibly hard to expect people to find motivation from themselves especially when it comes to a lifestyle rooted in destroying the lives of others and the planet.
Attempt after attempt, I was never able to stick to it until I became genuinely concerned for my health.
@@amberawchild why were you concerned? Theres a large chance if you were it was because of restrictive eating or not replacing food as should
Of all the wfpb folks on RUclips, you are the ones I recommend to folks the MOST! You are the most relatable and the kindest couple. Thank you for coming back. I help at a wfpb cooking school and regaining my weight made me not want to go back- but people appreciate the struggle and the realness! We will all be victorious if we DONT QUIT! I am so sorry for your loss. Virtual hugs and prayers for you both!
I've lost and gained it back several times in my adult life, here I am again at 55... starting over again. BUT... I am also 100% committed and since I started WFPB on Valentines Day I have lost about 50 lbs and am much healthier. I still have LOTS to lose too, a long way to go. But one day at a time, right? Thanks for just being authentic. Grief is real and hard, I lost my best friend of 25 yrs last August and my baby dog (almost 14 yrs old) in January, and then lost my other best friend in February. I still cry alot, but it does get better over time.
I’m so sorry for your losses. It is tough. I hope your memories are helping you through it.
I gained and lost hundreds of pounds as a WFPB vegan of 8 years. It was exhausting and I never felt great. I'm now Keto and the healthiest and happiest I've ever been. Maintaining weight loss is EFFORTLESS and I never feel deprived or hungry. No brain fog, no depression, no anxiety that I have dealt with my entire life!
Also, I'm very sorry for your loss! She sounds like she was a truly great lady!
Do not be so hard on yourself. Take your time to grieve. We are right here.
My grandma died also at age 93. Hearing you talk about your grandma's passing brought back the memory of my last days with my Mema. Hugs, my friend. Take the time you need to grieve.
Welcome back! Did the same! Lost 73 pounds after watching you guys. Gained 41 back. Now I've dropped 16 of those...It's a struggle. We went from really strict to more relaxed and got too much oil back in our diet and got hooked on the old flavors. Just get back in the saddle...
It’s nice to know others gain weight even if they are still committed to the WFPB lifestyle. I appreciate everyone’s example of how life goes.
@@marigoldenergy8512 Actually, my problem was slipping from WFPB to vegan/vegetarian. If I had avoided oils, I would have been a lot better off, but they'll get ya. And the sad thing is, eating is just a habit. Get in the habit of eating WFPB and you will like it and your body will like it. Stray to "whole flavor" with oil and salt and sugar and you will become habituated to it. I just don't seem to do moderation very well.
What kind of adventure would it be without bumps? You don’t have to justify yourself for being you and for the way you feel.
Great to see you back!!!
I'm so sorry you’ve lost your Grandma Jessica. Huge hugs. It’s never easy. I still miss mine and it’s been decades. She was the only one I ever met. Please give yourself time and love. Big hugs. As for WFPB woe, I love that you two are so human and unpretentious. So many make this sound so darned easy and no it’s not, not for everyone. From physical health issues to mental health issues, to family stuff, to work, there’s so much can derail us. I’m the heaviest I’ve been in years because Insulin, heart issues and mental health. And the pandemic on top. I’m proud of you. That you can put it out there really helps so much.
Your true followers value the authenticity of your content. The struggles, ups and downs, raw emotions, etc. Never be afraid to share the fact that you're human. Perfection doesn't exist. From those of us battling food addiction, including myself, thank you. Thank you for genuine content. Thank you for sharing your lives with us. Much love and many prayers for comfort as you continue to walk through this season of change and healing. ❤
Just shows you are human like the rest of us. Good to see you back.
Welcome back, sorry for your loss. This time around, don't stress so much about making good content for youtube. You both just need to do you. From the comments, you should be able to tell that many just want to see you guys check in and share your "adventure". For those that don't enjoy you "doing you", so be it, let them leave, there will be new that come.
Exactly! People who are like that were here for all the wrong reasons! :
My Dears, yay!!! You two show a normal life, full up ups and downs. Still offering support for all of us who struggle with our weight. Thank you for showing REAL. Hugs and pats on the back.
I’m so sorry for your loss. Be gentle with yourselves in grieving. Sending love to you both!
"Fall down seven times, get up 8." I'm not even on the wfpb adventure, but I am so glad to see you back. The internet doesn't need another fake, contrived, unrealistic spectacle. You guys are teaching the world how to succeed, which is not to choose a path and white knuckle it. Just like in meditation, you need to expect your mind to wander, because that's human, and then bring it back. Punishing yourself for human nature is a recipe for failure. Thank you for your compassionate example of how to be your own best friend and steer yourself back to the path that makes you feel your best.
Grieving takes time- I pray your grandmother’s bring you comfort.
Your not supposed to be our examples. We are all struggling with the difficult struggle with losing weight and keeping it off. We all need to work together as a support system. Anyone with negative comments obviously do not have the struggles we have. We should inspire each other. Glad you are working your way back. 🥰 you guys!
I missed you so much!!!!!! Struggling with your weight actually makes you MORE relatable. So many of us struggle. Let’s face it. That’s just the honest truth of living in today’s society. Many of us struggling watch your channel too. Including me :)
Your authenticity matches the reality of so many of us. No one's growth is linear 🥰
So great to see you back! You have been missed. Your journey is more normal than most RUclipsrs. Love you guys!
I really missed you guys and glad you’re back. I don’t care if you gain or lose weight, I just love your authenticity.
My grandfather passed nearly twenty years ago and I still get an ache in my heart every few months and I have to go visit his grave. Wishing you both strength and comfort during this time.
I have so missed your videos. Shortly after I started eating this way my boyfriend (my life partner) was killed in a work related accident. Truth be told, your videos helped me get through ... I focused on my eating and laughed and cried with you as you posted your about your eating and your lives... ---Life is hard and at times stinks...Other times life brings many blessings - - - Wishing you both health and easier times. So sorry for your loss of your grandmother.
Breathe in Grace and breathe out Grace . So glad to see you two back!
I am very proud of you both. You are HUMAN! You fell off the wagon, but instead of letting that snowball, you re-committed. Excellent. I have just started plant based whole food myself. Thank you for the inspiration and being REAL! I am so sorry about your grandmother. I send you hugs and love.
I'm so sorry for the loss of your grandmother. My grandmother was so very important to me, too -- I get it. Hugs and love to you.
No one is perfect and it is refreshing to see someone showing the messy side of life. We are with you and are cheering you on. Don’t be too hard on yourselves. We love you!
Life happens and it is progress not perfection. Be kind to yourself. Glad your back.
The value of this is showing that even when you are dedicated, the weight can still come back, and it's not a "mistake" it's just what the body does, fighting against your efforts, to get back to its set point. I think you are VERY strong, and it's ok if your weight fluctuates, that means you have a human body and that's what bodies do. It's not bad, it only SEEMS bad if you subscribe to the social construct. You're still healthy even with the weight! And you're still good! And you still have value. I think this is VERY valuable
Sometimes it just sucks to be human...Many Blessings, Thanks for sharing
Happy to see you back again!! You've picked yourselves up, dusted yourselves off and put that steely look in your eyes. You're going to reach your goals and have fun doing it. We need you too.
Yah, you’re back! You both look great and now we get Krocks in a new kitchen!
Least you didn't lose weight from a heart attack, triple bypass surgery. I lost 20 lbs but now gained 10 of it back. I am still healing but if you know foods to eat, you can get better quicker.
If you are moving, congrats on a new home.
Looks like your grandparent passed. Sorry for your loss.
I am glad my little grandgirl didn't lose me. I just spent last week with her. And that was 5 days and 3 nights.
Welcome back!!
Sometimes life is just tough with or without being trying to drop weight. But hey just be yall. This is what we all love.
I lost my Mother in November and my Grandma (103) in March. It guts me. Thanks for sharing your situation and your memories of your Grandma. I also have a few voicemails. I treasure them. Be good to yourself.
Oh no... The Krock’s are human!!! Dear, sweet friends, you are much loved and appreciated. Welcome back 💕👍💕
I am always intrigued that people who struggle with their weight - our struggles show on the outside, while others have issues with which they struggle - Their struggles don’t show on the outside like ours do.
Yes life is not easy but I'm glad that your back and you are moving forward with the whole plant based foods.
Right now all your viewers are thinking, its not just me. Everyone else goes through this too. There will always be some setbacks when life throws a curve ball, but you said it best, just don't give up. Thanks for sharing and showing that we are all in the same boat and its a journey. So glad to see you are back. You have been missed and I wish you both the best. Thanks for all the inspiration and sharing yourselves.
It has been a tough year. Everyone is gaining weight. We are still mostly closed in Ontario. The pandemic made me want to move as well. I think it has made us all take a hard look at what is important in life. It's good to see you guys back again! I'm so sorry for your loss.
I lost my mom/best friend a year ago may 6th. After a year, I can think about all the wonderful memories without crying. I miss her everyday, but I am trying to remember how lucky my family was to have her for so long (she also lived to 92). Sadly, it was during COVID so we couldn’t have a wake for her.
Praying so hard for you and your loss. Your grandmother sounds like she was an amazing woman!
I am so happy my favorite power couple is back!! Keeping weight off is HARD. Hard than initially losing it! And I guarantee everyone who loves you and watches your videos understands that *first hand!*
I am 61 and have now been plant based for 18 months - I couldn't have done it without your videos and your recipes. I feel amazing eating this way but it has also been a struggle. I don't naturally love this food having been a foodie most of my life. I no longer get food cravings which is a real positive however I now eat to live rather than live to eat. Thats sounds depressing but really it has been liberating. My husband is a meat and dairy eater so preparation and sauces is definitely the key. Best of luck with the ups and downs that life throws us. I cant wait to see your new recipes Brian.
So sorry to hear about your Grandma, Jessica! My condolences!
Just feel like giving you a hug Jessica that's all.
Grief is so hard. Please don't beat yourself up over your slip. We are all human and I am amazed at how strong and resilient you both are. You've totally got this. One day at a time.
I appreciate you guys living life in front of a camera. I feel I am in good company because I thoroughly understand the food addiction roller coaster ❤️
So glad to see you back! The reality is that weight loss and working toward good health does not happen in a straight line. We all struggle. We all lose and gain and lose again. The best thing is that you are showing the reality of how hard it really is, but also how much it is worth it. Perfection is unattainable. So, progress, not perfection is my mantra. Be kind to yourselves.
So happy to see your beautiful faces!! Welcome back, we are here for you 💕
So glad to have you back! I lost my 89 year old mother on May 9th and she also was able to live alone up to the 5 months. Needless to say I was crying right along with you!! I love the song “Blessed Assurance”! So glad you are back. My husband and I have been on the WFPB program for over 4 years...definitely not perfectly! We made your “Orange Soup” and your “Green Soup”...I also like to make large batches of things and eat it all week. Thanks for sharing your lives on You Tube! I think you could call me one of your biggest fans! ❤️
I'm sooooo happy to see you two, and PEEF. I have missed you guys so much. Happy to see you back. Your video's truly bright my day. 😃👍😃👍😃
My heart goes out to you for the loss of your grandmother. 💗
You are both soooo AUTHENTIC! Many of us may have originally subscribed because you are an example of weightloss success, but now you are also showing us that life can get messy and derail us and that is ok. We can re-center and re-prioritize our health at any time and as many times as we need to. Respect you all EVEN MORE! Your grandmother will continue to be proud of how you inspire others.💗
I’m so sorry for your loss. Be gentle with yourselves in grieving. Sending love to you both!!
Yeah! 2 years! I started my WFPB Journey 2 years ago and you guys were with me at the beginning. Thanks for all you've done to help me along the way. I, too, have gone up and down in weight, but as times passes it gets easier to stick to the path. You're right Jessica, don't give up, just re-commit. I lost my Dad 11 years ago and my Mom 6 years ago - I still cry. Grief is a process, feel what you feel, for me crying helps. Welcome back!
Oh sweethearts … I saved my grandparents vm’s too … listen, be gentle to yourselves, breathe and go slowly… onward and upward xoxo
Watching you two shows me that I don't have to hang my head and disappear when I don't live up to my own expectations and feeling like a failure. You understand and do not judge others....I'm certainly not judging. I know how hard food addiction and struggles for a lifetime looks like. Your smoky hummus and black bean soup are two things that helped me start this wfpb journey. I've lost no weight but I'm not focusing on that this time. I'm working on the transition to the lifestyle. Welcome back. Love your honest transparency.
We were talking about you today because we have missed you, AND we made and enjoyed your green bean recipe.
Guys, I had VSG because I struggled with gaining and losing weight on a WFPB diet. And one year out from surgery I am STILL struggling with the pleasure trap and gaining weight if I am stressed out and don't focus on healthy habits. It's normal. We are all struggling!
Sending you lots of hugs, Jessica🙏🏼 I’m so happy to see you both.
So glad you're back. That is why you're my favorite plant based channel. You are real and honest and struggle like everyone else. I am sorry about the loss of your grandma but what a long life she had and was independent till the end. It sounds like she had a loving family as well, that's a great life!
I hope my grandkids will be as sad as you when they lose me. I think that will mean that I was as good a grandma as yours was. ((Hugs)). Looking forward to watching your videos again. ❤
It's been 11 years since I lost my grandmother... 25 years since I lost my grandfather. I still grieve for them. I still cry because I miss them so much. Don't ever apologize for your tears. Hugs! I am so sorry guys. I have gained all the weight I lost in the last 2 years. It happens. Hugs! Good to see you guys back!
YAAAAAAAAAAAA! Welcome back, we missed you so much!!! I watch you because I like you as people, you're extremely entertaining and gracious and you come across as really genuine, kind and extremely intelligent people.
Someone once told me, 'there are times in life where you just need to smudge the temple for awhile' (like veering off into the headlights, etc) And as a return-smoker, I am so well acquainted with that! But you are correct - guilt and justifications get us nowhere. Just keep your goal in sight and take another step forward, and before you know it, you're back on the path 😀 .
So brave!
I am with you no matter what, even if you gain it all, which I know you won't, Semper Fidelis. I am looking forward to your posts.
I love the fact you are just regular people and we all slip up sometimes . I love watching your channel and will continue and y’all inspire me to keep going . So I want to just say thank y’all for continuing and not giving up
Darling Jessica, it’s okay to have some weight gain, it doesn’t define you. You have been through a lot, Brian as well, you loved grandma too. Don’t beat yourself up guys. Keep positive and posting on your channel, we will hold you both accountable ❤️ we love you guys! Good luck with living with the parents!! Enjoy them, I wish I had the luxury to live with mine. ✨✨
We are in this together - lumps and bumps. I’ve fallen away from being fully compliant (not meat or anything) but it’s time to get going again - for all of us. Let’s do this thing!!! I lost a mother to suicide and it still smacks me down - years later. Hang in there. Concentrate on all the joy she brought to your lives!
3 years for me too, and I feel I am in the same place as you, but this makes me feel excited that you are bringing a new level of inspiration and motivation so thank you!
I not only respect you guys for your transparency, but admire your willingness to be so honest with us. My heartbreaks for your loss. Blessings and welcome back. We did miss you dearly. Your both an inspiration.
So happy to see y’all. I’m so sorry for your loss. I have been on the struggle for a year now and gained some weight and need to get myself focused again. Because I also feel my best when eating a whole food plant based diet. Love you guys and look forward to taking this journey with y’all. I need y’all just as much as y’all need us❤️ we are in this together 💚
Jessica, I'm so sorry for your loss. Don't apologize for grieving. There is no time limit. My mom passed over 20 years ago and it still hurts...I still break down when I think or talk about it too much. Please don't allow anyone to try to rush you. Hugs ❤
You are real people 😊😊😊with real problems, you are human. Hang in there.
I’m not usually much of a commenter on RUclips, but I just needed to let you both know that I stumbled across your channel about two weeks ago and I’ve been binge watching, I think I’ve seen almost all of your videos and feel like I know you already. I’ve made several delicious meals. Jessica,I am so so sorry for the loss of your Grandma. And thank you for being authentic. I can’t wait to see more videos from Brian’s parents house!
Omg I am so with you! Binge eating and crazy. Can’t see how I gained the weight back yet I know how it happened! Lol. You are inspiring and honest and keep it up!!! Don’t beat yourself up. We love u.
Life happens. Don't beat yourself up. I have been struggling this past month or 2. Lots of stress in my life. I'm not giving up.
I struggle everyday with binge eating and sticking to a plan! Watching you all be authentic helps. Thank you
Been there, done that, and will probably do it again! Thanks for showing me I'm not alone! You're not alone either!!! ❤ Keep on keepin' on! You are needed! And seriously you still look great! Don't ever forget how far you've come! God bless you both!
I kept a voicemail from my mother for a couple of years after she passed. I listened to it often. I somehow deleted it or it auto deleted or something. I fell apart when that happened. I'm almost 64 and still miss my mother so bad. That is something that is hard to get over. Give yourself all the time you need to grieve and never apologize for grieving.
Jessica - love the new hairdo. It is so cute and perky. Glad to see that you are both doing well and that you are taking time to take care of yourselves. I have to admit I am happy to see your videos as they inspire me to get up when I fall down and to try, try again.
Anyone truly on a weighloss journey knows its SO hard! It's hard. Cudos for being brave and coming back. Never give up. If it happens again it's OK. It is real life and we love you.
Sorry for your loss...
I think we all gained a few "pandemic pounds" Lord knows I have.
Love you guys! Glad to see you back!
So sorry for your loss! Your Grandmom sounds like she was a sweet soul and now shes an angel. Very happy to see you both back and looking forward to new videos. Weird but I'm glad to see that you struggle just like everyone else...like I love that you're both real and you know what it's like to have a set back. Love to you both!
No judgement here. I have also struggled with my weight my whole adult life and during lockdown have gained weight 😕. Let’s lose weight together!
Good to see you. I began eating WFPB a year ago after two mini strokes and finding out that I “ came out higher than anyone the lab person has ever seen” for Celiac’s ( at 56 ).
Even though I had never had high cholesterol, I was put on a statin, which destroyed my muscles, sent me into major depression since it was painful to even walk. That and menopause packed on the pounds while my face was covered in eczema for months.
I have always been an emotional eater.
So, you two are human too?
Glad you took a break. It’s important to make your mental health a priority as well.
I understand loss. It’s rough.
So glad that you have each other. You have both been a fun and encouraging part of my days.
Thanks for sharing. Sounds like a LOT. Just breathe and take it one day at a time.
Life is constant change. I know that you two will make the most of it.
Sweet Jessica, I’m so sorry 😢 for your loss of your precious grandmother. I am praying for you and Brian. You both have helped me so much. God bless you and your family. Believe me your grandmother is with you everywhere you go, true Love 💗 never goes away. Love you and your kind, humble, beautiful 🤩 soul. 🥰😘💗🤗
Anyone who does not stray from a perfect path isn't human. It's okay to mess up. I'm definitely not perfect and can improve in SO many ways in my life. Trying is the most important thing we can do. Grief is hard. Crying is totally acceptable! Don't apologize for grief. I love y'all and can't wait to hear from you more.
Big, big, big hugs for you, Jessica! It’s been ten years since my mom and grandma passed. I still cry. I’m crying now. HUGS. ❤️
I am super glad to see you back no matter where your weight is. My wife and 7 year old daughter love watching your life. I as well got to my lowest weight and put 45 pounds back on since December. I am back on the right track and losing weight and gaining health. So its not just you guys. I too believe in the power of a WFPB lifestyle and will till the day I die. Thank you for coming back and being honest. Its inspirational. We don’t know you but we love you!
