7 pounds in six-weeks is the type of weight loss that is sustainable! ❤Slow & steady is the best way to make lasting changes. I love everything in this video 🤩
🥰 Thank you so much, Nicole! I am so grateful for your support and friendship through this journey!
Hello Ms. Andrea, that's great that you lost 7 lbs! Keep up the great work. Slow and steady is what my Dr has told me. That's wonderful about Mike's labs! TFS! Blessings to you!🕊✝🙏🏼💖
Thank you so much Cynthia!
Such great news for both of you Andrea.
Raccoons are so smart and devious, definitely not welcome here. 😆
Take care,
Annette 🌺
Thank you, Annette! Lol, They're so lucky they're cute. 😆🦝
Congratulations on the great labs. Yes, it’s huge. You are doing great also. Thanks for sharing your journey.
Thank you so much! After many years of trying different things, nothing worked for either of us until we made the change to whole food plant based! I couldn't be happier!
Congratulations on your weight loss and congratulations on Mikes blood results. Its so encouraging to see. I went plant based to work on both of those things.
Thank you!! His improvements seem to be happening faster than mine but it's happening slowly but surely for me as well! We were eating mostly plant based for quite some time so I really feel cutting out the oil, refined sugar, and heavily processed foods made all the difference for us!
Congratulations on your weight loss and the wonderful lab test results!!! You both are doing amazing!!! 😊💗
Thank you so much!
Congrats on the cholesterol numbers! Great movement!! Also, congrats on the weight loss. Slow, steady weight loss is best. If you don't think seven pounds is much, go pick up a five pound bag of sugar. That's a lot of weight to not carry around. Now you can work on losing seven more pounds by Thanksgiving! Congrats to both of you!!
Thank you so much, Rich! 💕 I'm happy the weight is dropping, even if it's not as quickly as I would like, haha! Until now it didn't seem to matter what I tried, it wouldn't come off, so this is still progress!
Whoo.hooo! Huuuuge congratulations to both of you!! 7 pounds in 6 weeks is still really good & sustainable & that's a tremendous difference in Mike's cholesterol!!! So awesome!
Thank you, Rebecca!
You’re winning at this Andrea. Just a marathon and not a sprint. Thankful Mike’s cholesterol is down. Hope your chicken comes back.
Thank you Chuck! I was never much of a runner anyway. 🤣
His cholesterol makes me feel so much better! He still has a lot of healing to do from the heart damage but this makes me feel so much better that there won't be further damage being done! 🙏 I'm so grateful!
Great job guys!! so excited about Mikes cholesterol and you are doing very good too Andrea!! WOOHOO
Thank you! I can't believe his cholesterol is ALMOST normal, I mean it's SO CLOSE now! I never thought I would see the day, especially not so quickly!
So very happy to hear the great news! Yay Mike! I know if you both stay on the plant-based lifestyle, you will eventually see a lot of those health issues go away. Praying for you both. Just love your sweetness and your honesty.
Thank you so much, my sweet friend! 🥰 I'm pretty floored by how quickly Mike is improving! I'm healing slowly but surely as well though!
Congrats on the weight loss and Mikes Cholesterol numbers! That's fantastic! 😂 The raccoon footage cracked me up.
Thank you!! The raccoon has made itself at home. I went back out in the evening and it was in there washing his little paws in the chicken water. 🤦♀🦝 I'd be upset, but he's so darn cute! lol!
MAHOOSIVE CONGRATS TO BOTH OF YOU!!!! That’s epic news!!!
Oh and you just had me creased up in the car park while Tanny went to pick up something so I watched this … the way you were talking to the raccoon that was me lmao!!! Sooo me … lol 😂
Thank you, Bloo!!
Lol, That raccoon was totally unfazed! He was just inconvenienced by me. 🤣🦝
I lost over 100lbs and it took me 16 months but guess what? I have kept it all off for 27 years, never had any weight gain. Keep going, do it for your HEALTH first and just let the weight loss be a "side effect" to eating healthy - Love your videos.
That's incredible!!! Maintaining the weight loss can sometimes be harder than losing it! Thank you so much for being here and supporting! 🥰💕
Happy for you both. My wife had a para-thyroid that was over working causing two others not to work. Mayo Clinic doctors cut out the one and they other two are now working correctly and she came off her thyroid meds. Wish you both the best and a blessed week too.
Thank you and wow! I'm glad they were able to help her. Mine is from an autoimmune disease called hashimotos hypothyroidism. Lol, it's a mouthful.
@@DiggingForHealth Jackie has an autoimmune called dermatamyositis, that’s a mouthful too. 😂
Way to go Andrea and congratulations to Mike a man of few words 😅😅❤😊
Thank you so much, Deborah!
Congratulations on you guys wonderful results. Keep putting in the work. Thanks for sharing this video. Have a blessed day
Thank you so much!
A number of years ago I went from 265lb down to 200lb, but it took me two years to do it by slowly reducing portion sizes. I've been there ever since until spending last summer in a place with no water in the air, where I dropped down to 175lb. Now I'm back in Fla slowly filling my cells with water again to get back to 200lb.
Slow and steady is what worked for me. But I had no major health issues other than I like to eat.
That's great that you've managed to keep it off! Maintaining weight loss once you've lost it is sometimes harder than losing it! Lol, So I need to go visit the desert for a little while to drop weight faster, got it. 🤣
@@DiggingForHealthDesert only works for a little while. As soon as you go home you start gaining it back (I hope- 175 is too skinny for 6" 4").
Woohoo...progress. You're both doing great!!
Thank you so much!
Great update and congrats to you both⭐️
Thank you so much!
Well done both of you. 7lb is great . It’s not easy with thyroid problems. Every 1lb lost is going to help improve the conditions that you both have. ❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Thank you so much! The weight wouldn't come off at all before so I'll take whatever I can get!
WOW! Great information you guys! Congrats on the great lab numbers!
Thank you, Lisa!
Wow! Awesome cholesterol results! And girl! Your before and after pics are very impressive! Maybe you don’t see it because it’s a pic of yourself but, your progress is truly impressive! Slow and steady is the key! What helped me immensely is intermittent fasting in conjunction with WFPB. I eat between 10:00 am and 6:00 pm. Maybe you’d like to try that. Anyway, great job! Both of you! 🎉
Thank you! I can see it a little bit. After I lose a bit more I'm going to check my measurements again too. 😊
Thank you! I guess I was sort of intermittent fasting and didn't realize it because other than my lemon water and medication, I don't eat my green smoothie until 10-11am and I'm always try to stop eating by 6-8pm. Sometimes evening air pop popcorn happens though, lol.
That’s a drastic reduction in Mikes cholesterol and losing over the course of 6 weeks is a healthier rate of weight loss, than losing 30 lbs in the same time frame.😮
Thank you!! I was hoping I could get a nice kick start since I'm so big and had been so sedentary for so long but I'll take whatever I can get! 💕
Be determined. You’ll get there. 👍
keep keep on going!!!!!!!!!! Those cholesterol results are AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you so much!! I was so excited to see how much his cholesterol came down! I can't wait to see what they say when he goes back again in December! Dare I hope for normal numbers? 🤞💕
7 lbs is good! I got discouraged last month because I walked 30 mins every day and only lost 4 lbs. I told my husband I am destined to be fat. 😂 Good job on his cholesterol! 😂 I have raccoons here in the city. My neighbor had one hanging out in a tree above her patio. She called me to run it off for her.
The way I'm looking at it, I know the activity is healthy for me and any weight loss is better than no weight loss! You got this!
Lol! This little guy was completely unbothered by me. 😆 He came back later and I found him washing his hands in the chicken water. lol 🦝
Congratulations to Mike.
Thank you!
Congrats on your weight-loss & Congrats on your husband's cholesterol numbers!!
Thank you so much!
Woohoo! That's awesome about Mike's cholesterol and your continued weight loss! Congratulations to you both! And Girl! I would have been so scared that racoon would have come at me! Lol! I'm so sorry about your easter egger.
Thank you so much, Janet! lol, I was stunned it didn't run away from me! Notice I stayed on the outside of the wire though, I wasn't about to test my limits, haha!🦝
@@DiggingForHealth, I saw that. When it went out and you looked around the corner, I just knew that little booger was going to jump at you. I was ready to cover my eyes. 🤣 I'm such a good and helpful friend to do that for you, huh? 😜🤣🤣
Great progress! Amazing news about Mike’s cholesterol! 7 lbs may not feel like a lot, but that’s still a great accomplishment, and it’s probably more healthy and sustainable than really fast weight loss. Keep up the hard work!
Thank you my friend!
Congratulations. I’m happy for you guys. That is a huge accomplishment!
Thank you!
Thank you for sharing this video. Wish you good health. Full 8:53
Thank you for your support!
Congratulations guys!! 🎉
Thank you! I hope you're doing well!
Amazing news for both of you guys !! My Dad had Adverse reactions to statins. You look super healthy to me Andrea and your approach seems super healthy !!
I think the only "pest" I haven't seen in the garden is a raccoon bit the year isn't over 😂
Stay Awesome 🌱🤞👍😊
A lot of people don't respond well to statins and those that can take them will often still complain of body aches, it's unfortunate that the injectable that they're giving Mike is one of the last things they offer people when the situation is dire. They're monitoring him closely on it though and it seems to me that he's responding so well to our healthy lifestyle changes that he might not need it for very long anyway. 😊
We have ALL of the critters here! All of them, lol! Squirrels, wild boar, raccoons, opossums, hawks, coyotes, bobcats, even the occasional snapping turtle wandering through the yard, lol!
@@DiggingForHealth my Dad had Pakinsons and Lewy Body which made it even worse !!
As you guys know all to well, you have to be your own advocate!!!
Stay Awesome Andrea!!
Thats a very healthy rate!!!! Makes it easy for your body to adjust. I know its nit as axcuting. Its better gor skin as well. I noticed a bit of extra skin when i lost some, so its good to go slow n steady.
Thanks! I'm hoping that my healthy eating will benefit from loose skin situation as well but considering how overweight I am, I'm sure there will be some by the time I'm done, unfortunately.
Congratulations on the weight loss and Mike's great results 👍
Live stronger, live longer 👍💪
So, have you lost 10 pounds and then another 7? Total 17? If that's the case, hold on to that victory 🏆
Take care and keep it going 👍
❤Peggy❤
Yes, a total of 17 pounds. 😊 I'm trying! If it keeps coming off a little at a time I'll still get to my goal eventually! Thank you!
@@DiggingForHealth 17lb. Is a chunk. Go to the grocery store and pick up a 20lb. bag of rice. You need to walk up and down the aisle just to realize how much lighter you are. I'm so proud of you 👏
@@peggyhelblingsgardenwhatyo7920 That's a great point! Thank you, my friend!
Thanks for sharing my friend
Thank you for watching!
❤ way to go!!!
Thank you! I hope you're doing well, Susan!
Hey, 7 pounds is still 7 pounds! That is great!!
Absolutely! Thank you!!
Well done
Thank you 😊
Congrats on losing 7lbs... Maybe u can wear your costume next year.
Beautiful job Mike on lowering your cholesterol.
Racoons don't usually come out during the day.. be careful it might be sick. 🫤
Thank you!! I thought the same thing about the raccoon but it was still early morning and I didn't see it again until that evening.
we cannot control how our bodies react, we can only do what we know is right and our bodies will do their own thing at their own rate. Your face looks thinner since your last video. Keep doing what you are doing, your body will respond in it's own time.
Thank you so much! Mike lost 60lbs so fast I feel like it happened in a blink of an eye, lol! I know I'll catch up eventually! 😁💕
I think any weight loss is good and we can’t all be super model bods. But I’d rather be healthy than skinny, no offence to skinny people. Great job both of you and keep up the great work ❤, Ali 🌞🇨🇦🥶
My daughter sent me a picture of 5 raccoons 🦝 in her tree 🤦🏼♀️
Absolutely! I'm happy it's coming off, regardless of the speed. Health is EVERYTHING, if I get my health back by the end of this, I don't care what I look like, lol.
FIVE?! She has a whole family! Lol!
Sustainable and healthy weight loss, you probably grew muscle with that exercise because when you're obese, your workouts are basically that plus you're wearing a weighted vest. Muscle weighs more than fat. Seeing the scale go down isn't everything, no doubt your diet has improved your health in multiple ways besides just weight loss.
You're absolutely right! My body has a lot of healing to do, so I'm sure that's slowing things down a bit as well. I must have some serious muscles under this fluff. 🤣
Most definitely! You are looking amazing. :) @@DiggingForHealth
Low cholesterol for Mike 7lbs loss for you. It's all good news all around. Don't be disappointed it took 6weeks. It's all bout your mental health first and how you feel . Slow progress is still progress. That raccoon fits the stereo type.😂 They say if a raccoon is out and about in the day time it does have rabies They supposed to be nocturnal. Oh no hopefully she was like im out before this fool eats me. Hope she comes back.
Thank you, my friend! You're exactly right!
It was morning when I found the raccoon and he did come back that evening! I found that little dude washing his hands in the chicken water. 🤣
Congratulations! Sorry you lost one of your pet chickens.
Thank you 😊
Racoons are so dang cheeky
This one is especially so! He just seems inconvenienced by me, lol! I went back out that evening and he was back in there washing his little paws in the chicken water. Haha!
@@DiggingForHealth hehe did he ask for warm towels?
@@BramptonGardener 🤣🤣🤣 I should put one out there with the trail cam. Lol
Excellent news all around! Maybe you gained muscle weight while losing weight from body fat..."Cluck Norris..." I'm dyin'!!!
Thank you! I'm hoping there's some muscle happening under there, it's hard to say with all this fluff but ik a believer! 🤣
Cluck Norris is quite the character! He sleeps about 30' up in a tree now, lol! He can't be cornered and the backyard belongs to him. 😆
But you are still losing. I having been getting hate in my Instagram because i am just walking.❤
Don't listen to them! Many people only walk and that's ok! I'm doing what I can manage of other exercises but the walking is definitely making the difference!
