@nosnillar An add for people to eat better, exercise and have a helathy lifestyle? Yes. In case you dont know, you can calorie count through a number of different methods including apps, books, reading packaging etc, you can also exercise though a gym trainer, youtube videos, exercise books or apps too.
@@nosnillar for many “influencers”, yes this is all ads. But they aren’t hocking anything. They mentioned a couple of things - but also weights, walking, etc.
“I didn’t know what I was capable of” YES 👏🏻 QUEEN 👏🏻 We don’t know what we can do until we try. Congratulations to you both! I’m down 140lbs and counting by having patience and working hard. Proud of you both 💪🏻
As someone who has struggled with weight my whole life, this video was very relatable. I lost a big chunk of weight in 2019, gained about 30 pounds back after trying to eat without counting calories. I have also never been able to intuitively eat lol. And then lost it the right way, but gained it back after my brother passed away. and now I am in the process of losing it again. This video was super motivational
Hey Emma! Keep up the amazing work! You should be so proud of yourself! Just getting started is the hardest part for most people so you've done so well! ❤
Emma. I feel you I’ve always(and still do) carry a couple of extra pounds. My heaviest was 260 at 5’8, the break though for me was jumping rope. I have scoliosis and while I was afraid of hurting myself I’m in less pain than I’ve been in years. On top of that I’m almost 50. Keep fighting the good fight
If you ever go back to not counting, it helps to check portion sizes. A lot of the time, people that have/gain too much weight are eating multiple portion sizes of a bunch of stuff. I personally know someone who ate a bowl of nuts as a snack during movies, which was like 15 portion sizes. They thought nuts were "healthy fats", so healthy. They are healthy... In their correct portion size. They're also high in calories.
@@Rob.S- "a couple extra pounds" is an understatement. At 5'8, 260lbs puts you in the class 3 obesity range. This used to be called morbid obesity. "Obesity is frequently subdivided into categories: Class 1: BMI of 30 to < 35. Class 2: BMI of 35 to < 40. Class 3: BMI of 40 or higher. Class 3 obesity is sometimes categorized as “severe” obesity." It's good to hear you're a dressing it. Jumping rope might be hard on the knees, but you should do whatever workout you enjoy. I'd still look at what high calory foods you could cut down on from your diet. Perhaps you could add some low calory dense options that you like instead, like yoghurt. Sport is great but it's only a small fraction of weight management compared to what you eat. Best of luck!
This is the type of content I like… when you’re in a relationship you feel comfortable in, everyone tends to let themselves go a little. I’m glad that you are both giving a realistic look at a lifestyle change.
Calorie counting brought me from 334 to 283 lbs. Still have a long way to go, and I have rebounded 9 lbs due to a few months of moving, travel, career change etc. Getting back on routine now. Really annoyed me that my doctor never recommended calorie counting, just said to cut out meat and sugar. Meanwhile I have lost lots of weight cutting carbs and eating more meat than I ever have before. I can eat what I want, but know that everything is a trade off.
Holy shit dude, basically same, I didn't count calories, I just drastically changed my eating habits, and I also went very specifically from 334 at my heaviest, to last night weighing 271. It's hard work but we fucking got this, keep up that hard fucking work, I'm proud of you, and you should be of yourself as well.
Calorie counting has become less popular because of its role in eating disorders. I am very glad it worked out for you. I go absolutely insane when I try to count calories. But currently in life I just need to maintain the weight I am at. I'm at a healthy place.
100% I’m doing the same. Very little sugar, few carbs, veggies & protein. Work out and calorie count. I’m down 50pds so far. Keep it up. 💪 u got this 👍
Nutrition is about as hard a science to make sense of that exists aside from the most obvious things like not eating empty calories and processed foods. In my experience doctors have huge personal biasis, little consensus among peers and a ton of cynicism towards anything that deviates from the standard food pyramid and moderation style way of eating. Even more difficult making sense of what they have to say when you throw in gastrointestinal issues or diet related maladies. Trust a doctor to sow you back together and take out your appendix. Unfortunately, figuring out how to live is something where we're all blind mice in the same rat king.
Something that I think not a lot of people understand is that your body wants you to work out or exercise so badly that it will give you a rush of dopamine while you do it. Like it's not all pain and having a bad time. I started with pull-ups to help me get over a very traumatic experience in my life and after a few days I realized that I actually couldn't wait to do my pull-ups the next day. So on top of the good feelings it was giving me, I started to look like a badass. Everybody started noticing the change in me pretty quick, and that did nothing but explode my confidence. It's a weird thing to say... But pull ups probably saved my life. Since then, I married an absolute knockout of a gym badass, and she put me on a Great track with bodybuilding. Now, I wake up between 3:00 and 4:00 in the morning so I could go to the gym for an hour and then come home to relax before my kids and my wife wake up. I couldn't imagine not going to the gym in the mornings. I look forward to it every night. So yeah, if you're worried about the pain, the fear of waking up early, not eating what you want, etc. all I can say is give it a try. A solid and honest try. It just may save your life too, or at the very least, give you a much better quality of life.
My long time partner and I are in the beginning steps of making this same journey so I really appreciate the content. It’s very motivating and I can’t wait to show my partner this video! Y’all look great and I can tell you feel great too!
That was a nice surprise. So relatable to so many. Thank you for sharing something you weren’t necessarily comfortable with and your journey. I am the heaviest I have ever been since pregnant and feeling awful about myself. Seeing the change in Mrs lush helps to know that i also can do it if I can find within me the power to do it. Appreciate the support to all your viewers. You guys are amazing.
7:59 I’ve never commented on RUclips videos before but this struck a chord! What an excellent way to talk about/help others that may be struggling with this! You’re not preachy or offering excuses for some to grasp onto for clicks, just two wonderful people opening up and showing that living healthier isn’t a fad or fashionable but honest people simply helping through experiences!!Years ago I lost a ton of weight the same way by waking up with a mindset of “no more of this” and just started to chip away a little at a time!
This was crazy relatable. Did almost the exact same thing, I wasn't really keeping track of my weight and one day woke up 90 lbs heavier than I was a couple years ago. Catalyst was my brother showing a video of me drunk laying on my back with my gut sticking like 2 feet out. Starting tracking calories (and eating ice cream every day) and down 90 lbs and able to keep it off for years
I've been watching since Ms. Lush was at her heaviest and she's always been an awesome person and an awesome presence on the channel but it is abundantly clear that she's more comfortable in her own skin and more confident now. I'm not saying that she doesn't look better physically, but she's much more impressive because of how confident she is when you do these streams now. Both of you have had an incredible journey and I've been fortunate to be able to be entertained by both of you throughout it and to see where you are today and hopefully gain some inspiration as I am heavier than I've ever been and I know that I need to make a change for myself so that I can enjoy life for as long as possible. this video really came at the right time for me. Thank you both so much!
A lot of people do their weight-loss differently. When I was 26, (I'm 5'10") I weighed 260lbs. Controlled my portions per day, so I'd wake up eat breakfast. Wait 4 hours to eat lunch, wait 4 hours to eat dinner. Then weight 4 hours before I slept. No snacks in between and drinking only water. Did this for over a decade and I am now on a steady fluctuation of 190-210lbs. As far as exercising I never went to the gym. I did push-ups everyday starting off slow with 5 push ups an hour. Then 10 push ups an hour after feeling comfortable to do more. Now I do minimum 40 push ups a day. Did that for a year straight, no days off till after one year. I also ride bicycle year round, I do not own a motorized-vehicle. I turn 41 this year (2023) and feel healthy. Started dropping energy drinks or supplements, I do everything natural. I eat a lot of chicken, fish, red meat, rice, Brussel sprouts. Been finding creative dishes that are both delicious and healthy.
By your own recollection, you laid in bed for 12 hours per day. The weight loss is great, but think of how much more you would have lost if you spent a couple more hours moving around.
Technically from the age of 16 I only ever got 6 hours of sleep a day.@@REH86 When I finally moved out of my parents house I gave myself a choice to either buy a car or buy a home. So I chose to buy my place and bicycle. For the past 10 years I've been riding bike year round in Alaska.
Hey, seeing you two melt over the years really inspired me to do the same! Being a parent and having low activity jobs really does a number on your body if you're not careful! Lost 35lbs this year by working out and eating well! Keep on being awesome!
I can relate to Mrs. Lush on so many thing! Thank you for continuing to motivate me. I am working towards more health and mobility. I’ve always played sports but after I graduated and got a job, got married, and had kids my priorities shifted. I made the choices then and I need to make healthier choices now so that I can be there mentally and physically for my husband and family. That’s my job and duty to those choices of marriage and bringing kids into this world. I have to be here for them!
I’m with you on this. Been there for my husband and kids but put my own needs on the back burner. Now it’s time for me to take care of myself too and for the same reasons you stated.
As someone who has recently lost 70lbs and is working on losing more and being healthier, I just want you two to know I'm incredibly proud of your weight loss, and I hope you are proud of yourselves too, you deserve it. I'm commented this on another video of yours recently, but since it's topical, I figured I'd put it here. Truly proud of both of your hard work, genuinely inspiring, thank you.
I weigh myself every morning and it genuinely helps me think and rethink what I need to do throughout my day. I think y’all gave some bangin’ advice that is simple and sustainable. I freakin love you 2. Mrs. Lush, thank you specifically for the push I needed. I was feeling the same way. You were/are my inspiration. I’ve lost 20lbs (w/ my Peloton bike) since the beginning of the year and it’s addicting. Y’all look awesome. Keep doing what you’re doing!
I'm so happy for you both. Me and my husband have gained a lot of weight over the years with kids and being older and just not putting our health first. This video came up as my husband and I was talking about going to church's weight loss program. I know if I want to be around for my kids and grandkids and know I need to make a change. Seeing you guys and hearing your journey is very inspiring and I know we can do it! Keep it up guys, we love watching you both. Thanks for sharing your story. Here's to our health!
I don't know if this sounds crazy but I've suffered with my eating disorder for 19 yrs. I've basically had zero help from family or professionals. The eating disorder clinic I went told me 'we can't help you unless you sort your mental health out first." I lost faith. I still get no support from my partner. Everyone thinks you can just stop. When its yrs of body dysmorphia, hating yourself...I'm going through it again right now. I'm 37 yrs, im 4'11 I do yoga, cardio ballet help my partner in his job groundworks (construction) and I still looka nd feel gross. It doesn't matter if your over weight or under weight. Knowing how to have a healthy relationship with food and the healthy mind set to do it, has been my biggest issue. Hearing others speak about their struggles helps because generally ita the same struggle to a certain point❤❤❤❤
So glad you guys decided to share this. I remember commententing a long time ago about leon getting back in shape. He was a lot heavier and his breathe was labored before this change. Glad to see less alcohol in the vids and see positive changes. More health related content would be sick
I feel like natural big dudes like him it's super important to focus on being lean and muscular and not being tempted to powerlift or go the strongman route. Much as I appreciate their strength and work ethic, most people built for strong man have a frame that is already hard on your heart and organs. Crazy how many people in that world that can lift a truck but hardly walk the stairs.
This is beautiful. Your willingness to be so vulnerable is something we need more of in this world. Your relationship and how much you care for each other shows. This gives me hope.
It's great that you both became so self-aware and actually did something about it! What's even better is that your son will grow up much healthier by proxy, so good on you two for making such a life altering change for the better! I LOVE YOUR CONTENT, SENSE OF HUMOR AND YOUR PERSONALITIES!
Wow mrs lush you’re an inspiration I’ve noticed from about 18 years old I probably gained a stone a year and now I’m finally focusing on my health (the whole of my health) and I’m looking and feeling better with a long journey ahead but this was inspiring ❤
I really appreciate this candid message about health and building better habits. i’m currently learning how to eat better and it does feel better for my mental health not being guilty about just eating w e. it’s hard to start and learn about better eating but it is possible
Love this. Been watching the Lush family for a long time and this has inspired me to make a change and live a healthier lifestyle. A refreshing and honest take on what's needed to lose weight. Great content!
You both look amazing and you’re so inspirational! Your story reminds me so much of my own! I decided to lose weight and had great success and my husband noticed and got in on it and we’re the healthiest we’ve ever been in our lives! We celebrate 17 years together next year and we couldn’t be happier! I’m so proud of you guys! Thanks for sharing your story!! ❤
Its awesome that you guys are talking about this, I lost 85lbs since the start of the year and a LOT of what you guys said really is just straight facts about weight loss. Love it guys!
Good job to you both! What's a bummer is when it's a metabolic issue (i.e. the "eating less and exercising more" doesn't work) and people keep talking about how much weight they lost by exercising more than walking to their mailbox and ceasing with eating whatever they want. Cognitive behavioral therapy and having someone hold your hand so you don't eat out of boredom, nerves, etc., just doesn't work. However, it's nice that you educated people on available options.
This really came out at the right time for me. I was in the best shape of my life a year ago - I got horribly sick for months, gained 20 lbs and lost tons of muscle mass. I needed this reminder to remain mindful and aware of what I’m eating and doing.
Thank you guys so much for sharing this. I was always a skinny kid growing up.. played sports, skated/ect... i had signifigant head trauma in my late 20's where i lost my smell and taste. After that, I didnt skate anymore, and was pretty sedentary (i work from home). My only calory burn was from playing drums. After gaining over 40 pounds, i got frustrated and got myself into fitness and nutrition. Through learning how to meal prep, how to find my TDEE + macros needed and hitting the gym 3-5 days a week, i shredded that 40 pounds in 6 months. This was years ago and i remain lean today and in the best shape of my life. Sometimes you just need that internal push to get things started but you also need to keep that endgoal in sight. The benefit is there to obtain!
This video blew me away! As someone who only discovered the second channel recently I had always assumed that Leon's "dynamite" personality and his witty and down right entertaining delivery easily explained the remarkable 10 he has the right to call his wife, and after watching the video to the end I can say my opinion has not changed at all.
This is helpful. I've already somewhat started the journey but busy life has definitely caused me to not take it seriously enough. This is extremely inspiring for me right now. Thank you
Love this, especially since it's coming from real people and not these bs fitness gurus on tiktok, that always beat around the bush and try to sell you something. Glad you guys are healthier and it's been awesome going through these years feeling like we've known you guys forever. Awesome people.
Both of you look great. And seeing the results in these video to ones you made 4 years ago is really inspiring. Makes me feel like I can definitely achieve my goal weight and physique in just a couple years.
Early in the video, how Mrs Lush quickly describes when she explains why she started her weight loss journey, I know some people find the beginning to be the hardest but it really is just one day, out of compulsion, you just realize you’re done be complacent with being enough, that’s how it is for everyone. You can’t just say, “oh next week is when it happens,” because when Monday hits you’re gonna be tired, so you’ll say, oh I’ll just do it tomorrow, and you’re back to step one
Having someone to hold you accountable is such a Great asset!!! Removing alcohol is the biggest and healthiest change you can make in regards to weightloss!!! 👏👏👏
I am so happy that you two are happy and healthy! It's cool also how you have a degree in Exercise Science and Mrs. Lush is a Nurse. I got my first degree in Exercise Science and then went back and got a degree in Nursing :)
Thanks for sharing!! A lot of this similar advice has helped me with the opposite problem, to gain weight. I always struggled to reach a healthy body weight until i started working out and counting calories which caused me to be conscious of the foods i eat and how often. If you’re struggling to gain , you can do it . Lots of set backs but I’m up 20 pounds since post pandemic and slowly but surely building up at another 10. Sending y’all the best no matter what journey you’re on 🎉
i didn't know that's what Mrs. Lush looked like and that is such an awesome transformation. i love that! im not like fat but I'm not the weight I want either. I've been intermittent fasting but I've been fluctuating at a certain weight and it's getting a bit discouraging. this was definitely inspiring. awesome work, Mrs. Lush though! it's super awesome to see that transformation and process that you made!
Thank you for this. I struggle with my weight since I was a teenager and I'm trying to find the will and I just can't stay on course. But thank you to you and Mrs Lush for showing yourselves now and than. It's truly amazing what will and courage for change can do for someone. Salute 🫡 to you both 👏🏽
both of you, lok amazing! you guys actually made me start going to the gym, once i entered my 30's i stopped being a twig and put on a quite a few pounds. So thank you guys, keep it going and u guys loook amazing! oh i lost 30kg and am back to my originall weight but with more muscle now.
You guys are inspiring me. I have always worked out and stayed in pretty good shape until some medical issues a couple years ago. Depression set in and I have gained 80 lbs and an so uncomfortable. I'm trying to get to get to that first day at gym and struggling. I've never been the fat girl at the gym but that's what I am. But THANK YOU FOR THE INSPIRATION
Mr. & Mrs. Lush, this is exactly what I needed at exactly the right time. As a yo-yo exerciser/dieter I totally relate and am ready to get back on track. Thank you! Much love from Irish in London. ❤
I’ve been waiting for this video! Amazing job guys, both of you look strong as hell 💪🏼💪🏼. My husband and I started a CrossFit journey a little less than a year ago and in general really started upping our health and fitness as a big priority.
❤ Love it! How did these changes affect your parenting? I started walking daily & cutting out sugary food. I noticed I have so much more patience since I’m in a good mood.
This is awesome to see! Im mid way through my health journey and things are going awesome, in the end its really down to having the patience to figure out what works for you❤ ❤❤
Thank you for this video, it came at a perfect time for me. I'm currently on my big weight loss journey counting calories and it's so tough sometimes and I'm in the biggest slump right now since I began back in april. I started at 115kg and am down to 94kg - goal is 80kg so I can qualify for fertility treatment, but I've been stuck here for a while, and listening to you talk about your mindset about not blaming yourself but treating the weight fluctuations as awareness has given me a new angle to keep going ❤️ I'm so happy for your strength and patience to go through this !
I have been fat and lazy most of my life, not obese just fat and the best thing that ever happened to me was Covid lockdown. With nothing to do all day it was the motivation start exercising and being on reduced income there was no money to waste on junk food. At 51 years old I am now fitter, stronger and healthier than I was in my twenties. My only regret is that I did not start earlier since now is the life stage where building muscle is an uphill battle you can't win, still it is better than being fat with no muscle.
I started working out almost 4 months ago, and even though I knew I wasn't gonna see a huge change after a month, I thought there'd be more of a noticeable difference, if I hadnt enjoyed working out I would've been discouraged, so I changed my mindset and realized my muscles are stronger, exercising is way easier than it was a month ago and were starting from nothing its gonna take a little time for the results to show but I can feel a difference so I'm 4 months in and I feel good and my muscles are stronger
Have really noticed Leon slimming up within the past year or 2, not to say he wasn't an absolute beast before Never even realize Mrs Lush though, always radiant
I think it should be noted that consistency is also really important for weight training/weight loss. You probably won't noticed changes for a while, but you still have to keep at it regardless. Eventually you will see the changes you want, so long as you're doing this properly.
I found Mr Lush’s main channel just around 24 hours ago, and loved it! As soon as I came to a vid where he talks about Lush Life, I instantly hopped over, and have been nonstop binging since… As someone in a terribly lonely, and unhealthy marriage 20 year marriage, it gives me such unbelievable JOY to see the two of you together! You both warm my heart so much! You were instantly my favorite RUclips couple, and that was BEFORE I found THIS video!!!! Holy fucking shit. Mrs Lush, you are fucking GORGEOUS!, and were drop dead before you lost the weight as well!! I’ve lost 205 lbs myself (yes I was huge lol) I’m just so much more in love with you now, and I didn’t think it was possible!! ❤ Oh and you’re aight too Mr Lush 😜
As a personal trainer and kinesiology major you both are great role models and examples of how to lose weight and improve your health in a productive way. Love your stuff, keep it up!
It’s awesome to hear you guys put in the work, hold yourselves accountable, but also have grace and humor about it. You can see and hear the love and support y’all both have for each other. I recently started back in the gym and tracking food to get back into a better shape and I’m really proud of the fact that I haven’t missed a day in the gym and I’m already seeing results!
Aww, thanks for sharing this conversation and the process, you two are just so dad-gummed wholesome! I've struggled with severe mental health issues my whole life, finally started getting help for it fairly recently. The meds and self-work were able to lead me to the point of realising the things I put into my body can have a dramatic effect. I can see now how helpful it would be to my brain if my body were in better condition; I would like to get into boxing as part of my anger management, and am starting off with all the tone and musclulature of a newborn baby. The extensive weakness of my feet is still the most limiting, but no-impact dancing in place does not hurt so that's what I'm doing for now. Maybe in a little while I'll be able to go on a treadmill, but for now just doing what I can with what I have. Thanks for making such a nice space for your viewers.
Congrats on your achievements! My bf and i recently did keto, he lost a lot of weight,i lost 15 lbs but gained it back from stress and depression.. but keto ice cream is actually quite good surprisingly
That really sucks I’m sorry for your situation :( The big depresso espresso always makes me lose weight, which was fun at first! But now, not so much. Don’t let yourself binge eat OR starve. The sad feelings might feel a bit better when you do but in the long run….. 😩 I’m rooting for you girlie pop CONQUER YOUR DREAMS DOMINATE YOUR WEIGHT DESTROY THOSE PROTEIN SHAKES 😤
I have been battling with my weight for DECADES! I was always a chubby kid, but i ate well and was an athlete, so i thought it was normal. NOPE! Middle school passed and by 8th grade i was at a high weight, 150lbs, and just quit everything. I was teased, beat up, and isolated from my peers, so that kept me in the house even more. Now i am 42 and I'm pushing 350 lbs and want to get rid of it. My boyfriend looks like Slender man and i look like Jabba The Hut. You two are great motivators! Thank you!
Inspirational! Keep doing what you are doing, both this and the "main" channel bring me a lot of joy. At 6ft, 280, I am just beginning the journey that I hope will get me healthier and get me more time with my family.
I'm so happy yall talked about this. Being 33, my metabolism has slowed down so much. It's uncomfortable. I watch every video! Never comment, but there's a first for everything ❤
I saw a thumbnail for an old video recently and I couldn't believe the difference in mrs lush especially. Yall made some awesome progress🙌 I'm a month into the gym and im putting on weight because I was really skinny. Counting calories is huge I thought I was eating a lot but I was barely hitting maintenance. Now Ive been gaining 2lbs a week and feel better than ever
I’ve done both methods of starting with diet change first, then incorporating exercise and vice versa. For me, the initial motivation to get started was easier if I focused on diet changes first…but often I would go off the rails before I would even get to a point of incorporating exercise. The biggest successes (85-100lb losses) were when I started with exercise first-and I also much prefer strength training to cardio. I just felt better physically & more accomplished, which gave me more motivation to preserve those feelings by eating more healthily. That said, I may have won some battles, but I’m still losing the war, so take that for what you will. Congrats to the Lush fam for your results!
As someone who has lost over 200lbs (put some back on now but still 170 down) I agree with everything said. Consistency is key and just treat the numbers as a data point. Thank you both for sharing and helping us all keep a level head on the subject. Congratulations on living a healthy life together!
Inspirational. Ive been watching Leon since he started youtube which for me was at an age when i didnt clock that the name “Leon Lush” was a pseudonym. It’s great to see he’s come so far with the person he loves
I started running at about the middle of the year 2020 a mile every day. Not really watching what I ate or anything, but this was a big step for me as I'd never really done anything like it. But the past summer I decided to really step it up. Looking at my progress almost makes me emotional, cause I wasn't the fat kid growing up, but I wasn't the fittest. It feels so good to be making this progress. Thanks for sharing y'alls wisdom and process. Ps, the reminder that it takes time is very helpful and important. Appreciate y'all so much.✌️
You guys are just such an awesome couple. U know when ppl say couple goals.! Yall are it. ❤️ love both of yous. Xoxoxo thank u for sharing ur journey w/ us!
This was a great video and I think this was the most honest way of sharing the way to loose weight. The take away for me is to burn off more than you eat. It's very simple but also very hard to get started 🥵 I gained a rather huge amount of weight from I was 40-45 due to a job change. I worked as a lumberjack and did martial arts and although I ate a lot I still ate healthy, oatmeal, rye bread, chicken or turkey and fruits and vegetables. After quitting as a lumberjack I still ate the amount of food as I did before and that's where it all went tits up for my weight. Now, I've dropped almost all the weight again simply by eating less and exercise more. Not someone who've weighed myself reguarly but when I'm at my "normal" weight I'm at around 175, right now I think I'm around 190. I'm 5' 11".
My wife and i have such a similar story. My wife got triggered into working out 5 times a week from us looking at our wedding photos on our anniversary two years ago. She realized that she didnt look like that anymore. She gets up at 4:30am every day and goes to her crossfit gym. I was sliding too and she inspired me to get back to the grind.
Y'all are simply the best. Thank you for being on the internet, and always a bright spot in an ocean of darkness. You both have your quirks, you are northerners after all, but you're absolutely amazing people. I was there when Lush Life first started, and I'll be here till it ends. Thank you for all you do.

You guys are glowing! Congrats on your transformation!!! I’m not trying to lose weight, but this video inspired me to do better when it comes to my diet. I like how you guys mentioned you can’t workout a bad diet because that is so true
mrs lush has made a remarkable transformation, congrats! this gives me motivation to cut back on soda and begin walking. if i could loose 20 lbs i would be so much healthy. thanks for this video.
You both look great!! 😊❤ As someone has grown up in New England, call me bias, but I feel like it's tough up here when it comes to weight lose. (I'm sure every demographics has their own positives & negatives) Thank you for your encouraging input!! ❤ I watch you guys cuz you are down to Earth & real ppl! You're not phoney & fake & represent most families on RUclips ❤
I’m 22 and I think you guys are great role models. I aspire to have the intelligence and humor as Leon and the focus and work ethic as Mrs. Lush

“I didn’t know what I was capable of” YES 👏🏻 QUEEN 👏🏻 We don’t know what we can do until we try. Congratulations to you both! I’m down 140lbs and counting by having patience and working hard. Proud of you both 💪🏻
Let’s go, proud of you too
You two reinforce the believe that if you work at changing yourself, eventually it will work out! I'm doing the same and you two are very inspiring.
Love that!
As someone who has struggled with weight my whole life, this video was very relatable. I lost a big chunk of weight in 2019, gained about 30 pounds back after trying to eat without counting calories. I have also never been able to intuitively eat lol. And then lost it the right way, but gained it back after my brother passed away. and now I am in the process of losing it again. This video was super motivational
Hey Emma! Keep up the amazing work! You should be so proud of yourself! Just getting started is the hardest part for most people so you've done so well! ❤
Same here!
Emma. I feel you I’ve always(and still do) carry a couple of extra pounds. My heaviest was 260 at 5’8, the break though for me was jumping rope. I have scoliosis and while I was afraid of hurting myself I’m in less pain than I’ve been in years. On top of that I’m almost 50. Keep fighting the good fight
If you ever go back to not counting, it helps to check portion sizes. A lot of the time, people that have/gain too much weight are eating multiple portion sizes of a bunch of stuff. I personally know someone who ate a bowl of nuts as a snack during movies, which was like 15 portion sizes. They thought nuts were "healthy fats", so healthy. They are healthy... In their correct portion size. They're also high in calories.
@@Rob.S- "a couple extra pounds" is an understatement. At 5'8, 260lbs puts you in the class 3 obesity range. This used to be called morbid obesity.
"Obesity is frequently subdivided into categories: Class 1: BMI of 30 to < 35. Class 2: BMI of 35 to < 40. Class 3: BMI of 40 or higher. Class 3 obesity is sometimes categorized as “severe” obesity."
It's good to hear you're a dressing it. Jumping rope might be hard on the knees, but you should do whatever workout you enjoy. I'd still look at what high calory foods you could cut down on from your diet. Perhaps you could add some low calory dense options that you like instead, like yoghurt. Sport is great but it's only a small fraction of weight management compared to what you eat. Best of luck!
This is the type of content I like… when you’re in a relationship you feel comfortable in, everyone tends to let themselves go a little. I’m glad that you are both giving a realistic look at a lifestyle change.
Calorie counting brought me from 334 to 283 lbs. Still have a long way to go, and I have rebounded 9 lbs due to a few months of moving, travel, career change etc. Getting back on routine now. Really annoyed me that my doctor never recommended calorie counting, just said to cut out meat and sugar. Meanwhile I have lost lots of weight cutting carbs and eating more meat than I ever have before. I can eat what I want, but know that everything is a trade off.
Holy shit dude, basically same, I didn't count calories, I just drastically changed my eating habits, and I also went very specifically from 334 at my heaviest, to last night weighing 271. It's hard work but we fucking got this, keep up that hard fucking work, I'm proud of you, and you should be of yourself as well.
Calorie counting has become less popular because of its role in eating disorders. I am very glad it worked out for you. I go absolutely insane when I try to count calories. But currently in life I just need to maintain the weight I am at. I'm at a healthy place.
if ur doctor told you to cut out meat to lose weight you should seek out a different one.
100% I’m doing the same. Very little sugar, few carbs, veggies & protein. Work out and calorie count. I’m down 50pds so far. Keep it up. 💪 u got this 👍
Nutrition is about as hard a science to make sense of that exists aside from the most obvious things like not eating empty calories and processed foods.
In my experience doctors have huge personal biasis, little consensus among peers and a ton of cynicism towards anything that deviates from the standard food pyramid and moderation style way of eating.
Even more difficult making sense of what they have to say when you throw in gastrointestinal issues or diet related maladies.
Trust a doctor to sow you back together and take out your appendix. Unfortunately, figuring out how to live is something where we're all blind mice in the same rat king.
Something that I think not a lot of people understand is that your body wants you to work out or exercise so badly that it will give you a rush of dopamine while you do it. Like it's not all pain and having a bad time. I started with pull-ups to help me get over a very traumatic experience in my life and after a few days I realized that I actually couldn't wait to do my pull-ups the next day. So on top of the good feelings it was giving me, I started to look like a badass. Everybody started noticing the change in me pretty quick, and that did nothing but explode my confidence. It's a weird thing to say... But pull ups probably saved my life. Since then, I married an absolute knockout of a gym badass, and she put me on a Great track with bodybuilding. Now, I wake up between 3:00 and 4:00 in the morning so I could go to the gym for an hour and then come home to relax before my kids and my wife wake up. I couldn't imagine not going to the gym in the mornings. I look forward to it every night. So yeah, if you're worried about the pain, the fear of waking up early, not eating what you want, etc. all I can say is give it a try. A solid and honest try. It just may save your life too, or at the very least, give you a much better quality of life.
My long time partner and I are in the beginning steps of making this same journey so I really appreciate the content. It’s very motivating and I can’t wait to show my partner this video! Y’all look great and I can tell you feel great too!
love to hear it, you got this!
@@LushLifeTV I'm having a fan girl moment!!! 🤩
That was a nice surprise. So relatable to so many. Thank you for sharing something you weren’t necessarily comfortable with and your journey. I am the heaviest I have ever been since pregnant and feeling awful about myself. Seeing the change in Mrs lush helps to know that i also can do it if I can find within me the power to do it. Appreciate the support to all your viewers. You guys are amazing.
Probably one of the biggest RUclipsr glow ups, keep up the good work guys🔥🔥
7:59 I’ve never commented on RUclips videos before but this struck a chord! What an excellent way to talk about/help others that may be struggling with this! You’re not preachy or offering excuses for some to grasp onto for clicks, just two wonderful people opening up and showing that living healthier isn’t a fad or fashionable but honest people simply helping through experiences!!Years ago I lost a ton of weight the same way by waking up with a mindset of “no more of this” and just started to chip away a little at a time!
This was crazy relatable. Did almost the exact same thing, I wasn't really keeping track of my weight and one day woke up 90 lbs heavier than I was a couple years ago. Catalyst was my brother showing a video of me drunk laying on my back with my gut sticking like 2 feet out. Starting tracking calories (and eating ice cream every day) and down 90 lbs and able to keep it off for years
Congratulations ❤ !!! I was able to lose 170 pounds slowly over the course of 6-8 years. Gym most mornings
amazing work, well played
I've been watching since Ms. Lush was at her heaviest and she's always been an awesome person and an awesome presence on the channel but it is abundantly clear that she's more comfortable in her own skin and more confident now. I'm not saying that she doesn't look better physically, but she's much more impressive because of how confident she is when you do these streams now. Both of you have had an incredible journey and I've been fortunate to be able to be entertained by both of you throughout it and to see where you are today and hopefully gain some inspiration as I am heavier than I've ever been and I know that I need to make a change for myself so that I can enjoy life for as long as possible.
this video really came at the right time for me. Thank you both so much!
A lot of people do their weight-loss differently. When I was 26, (I'm 5'10") I weighed 260lbs. Controlled my portions per day, so I'd wake up eat breakfast. Wait 4 hours to eat lunch, wait 4 hours to eat dinner. Then weight 4 hours before I slept. No snacks in between and drinking only water. Did this for over a decade and I am now on a steady fluctuation of 190-210lbs. As far as exercising I never went to the gym. I did push-ups everyday starting off slow with 5 push ups an hour. Then 10 push ups an hour after feeling comfortable to do more. Now I do minimum 40 push ups a day. Did that for a year straight, no days off till after one year. I also ride bicycle year round, I do not own a motorized-vehicle. I turn 41 this year (2023) and feel healthy. Started dropping energy drinks or supplements, I do everything natural. I eat a lot of chicken, fish, red meat, rice, Brussel sprouts. Been finding creative dishes that are both delicious and healthy.
By your own recollection, you laid in bed for 12 hours per day. The weight loss is great, but think of how much more you would have lost if you spent a couple more hours moving around.
Technically from the age of 16 I only ever got 6 hours of sleep a day.@@REH86 When I finally moved out of my parents house I gave myself a choice to either buy a car or buy a home. So I chose to buy my place and bicycle. For the past 10 years I've been riding bike year round in Alaska.
Thank you for talking about your health journey - truly inspiring!
I’m just glad you’re feeling better and appreciate the openness. Thank you.
Hey, seeing you two melt over the years really inspired me to do the same! Being a parent and having low activity jobs really does a number on your body if you're not careful! Lost 35lbs this year by working out and eating well! Keep on being awesome!
This is a video where I wish I could 'SMASH THAT LIKE BUTTON' Twice!! Healthy living is so underrated.
I can relate to Mrs. Lush on so many thing! Thank you for continuing to motivate me. I am working towards more health and mobility. I’ve always played sports but after I graduated and got a job, got married, and had kids my priorities shifted. I made the choices then and I need to make healthier choices now so that I can be there mentally and physically for my husband and family. That’s my job and duty to those choices of marriage and bringing kids into this world. I have to be here for them!
I’m with you on this. Been there for my husband and kids but put my own needs on the back burner. Now it’s time for me to take care of myself too and for the same reasons you stated.
As someone who has recently lost 70lbs and is working on losing more and being healthier, I just want you two to know I'm incredibly proud of your weight loss, and I hope you are proud of yourselves too, you deserve it.
I'm commented this on another video of yours recently, but since it's topical, I figured I'd put it here.
Truly proud of both of your hard work, genuinely inspiring, thank you.
I weigh myself every morning and it genuinely helps me think and rethink what I need to do throughout my day. I think y’all gave some bangin’ advice that is simple and sustainable. I freakin love you 2. Mrs. Lush, thank you specifically for the push I needed. I was feeling the same way. You were/are my inspiration. I’ve lost 20lbs (w/ my Peloton bike) since the beginning of the year and it’s addicting. Y’all look awesome. Keep doing what you’re doing!
I'm so happy for you both. Me and my husband have gained a lot of weight over the years with kids and being older and just not putting our health first. This video came up as my husband and I was talking about going to church's weight loss program. I know if I want to be around for my kids and grandkids and know I need to make a change. Seeing you guys and hearing your journey is very inspiring and I know we can do it! Keep it up guys, we love watching you both. Thanks for sharing your story. Here's to our health!
I don't know if this sounds crazy but I've suffered with my eating disorder for 19 yrs. I've basically had zero help from family or professionals. The eating disorder clinic I went told me 'we can't help you unless you sort your mental health out first." I lost faith. I still get no support from my partner. Everyone thinks you can just stop. When its yrs of body dysmorphia, hating yourself...I'm going through it again right now. I'm 37 yrs, im 4'11 I do yoga, cardio ballet help my partner in his job groundworks (construction) and I still looka nd feel gross. It doesn't matter if your over weight or under weight. Knowing how to have a healthy relationship with food and the healthy mind set to do it, has been my biggest issue. Hearing others speak about their struggles helps because generally ita the same struggle to a certain point❤❤❤❤
So glad you guys decided to share this. I remember commententing a long time ago about leon getting back in shape. He was a lot heavier and his breathe was labored before this change. Glad to see less alcohol in the vids and see positive changes. More health related content would be sick
I feel like natural big dudes like him it's super important to focus on being lean and muscular and not being tempted to powerlift or go the strongman route. Much as I appreciate their strength and work ethic, most people built for strong man have a frame that is already hard on your heart and organs. Crazy how many people in that world that can lift a truck but hardly walk the stairs.
This is beautiful. Your willingness to be so vulnerable is something we need more of in this world. Your relationship and how much you care for each other shows. This gives me hope.
It's so nice finding genuine nice people in this sorta RUclips arena. Thanks
It's great that you both became so self-aware and actually did something about it! What's even better is that your son will grow up much healthier by proxy, so good on you two for making such a life altering change for the better! I LOVE YOUR CONTENT, SENSE OF HUMOR AND YOUR PERSONALITIES!
Wow mrs lush you’re an inspiration
I’ve noticed from about 18 years old I probably gained a stone a year and now I’m finally focusing on my health (the whole of my health) and I’m looking and feeling better with a long journey ahead but this was inspiring ❤
I really appreciate this candid message about health and building better habits. i’m currently learning how to eat better and it does feel better for my mental health not being guilty about just eating w e. it’s hard to start and learn about better eating but it is possible
Love this. Been watching the Lush family for a long time and this has inspired me to make a change and live a healthier lifestyle. A refreshing and honest take on what's needed to lose weight. Great content!
You both look amazing and you’re so inspirational! Your story reminds me so much of my own! I decided to lose weight and had great success and my husband noticed and got in on it and we’re the healthiest we’ve ever been in our lives! We celebrate 17 years together next year and we couldn’t be happier! I’m so proud of you guys! Thanks for sharing your story!! ❤
Its awesome that you guys are talking about this, I lost 85lbs since the start of the year and a LOT of what you guys said really is just straight facts about weight loss. Love it guys!
Good job to you both! What's a bummer is when it's a metabolic issue (i.e. the "eating less and exercising more" doesn't work) and people keep talking about how much weight they lost by exercising more than walking to their mailbox and ceasing with eating whatever they want. Cognitive behavioral therapy and having someone hold your hand so you don't eat out of boredom, nerves, etc., just doesn't work. However, it's nice that you educated people on available options.
This really came out at the right time for me. I was in the best shape of my life a year ago - I got horribly sick for months, gained 20 lbs and lost tons of muscle mass. I needed this reminder to remain mindful and aware of what I’m eating and doing.
Most real and relatable weight loss video in the world. The entire world, thanks, kids.
This is a great video. Im just amazed on the difference in both of you in the last 3 years! Well done for being able to manage it healthily 💗
Thank you guys so much for sharing this. I was always a skinny kid growing up.. played sports, skated/ect... i had signifigant head trauma in my late 20's where i lost my smell and taste. After that, I didnt skate anymore, and was pretty sedentary (i work from home). My only calory burn was from playing drums. After gaining over 40 pounds, i got frustrated and got myself into fitness and nutrition. Through learning how to meal prep, how to find my TDEE + macros needed and hitting the gym 3-5 days a week, i shredded that 40 pounds in 6 months. This was years ago and i remain lean today and in the best shape of my life. Sometimes you just need that internal push to get things started but you also need to keep that endgoal in sight. The benefit is there to obtain!
Just when I thought I could not love you guys more, you drop this and are transparent about it weight loss and the struggles, RESPECT!
This video blew me away! As someone who only discovered the second channel recently I had always assumed that Leon's "dynamite" personality and his witty and down right entertaining delivery easily explained the remarkable 10 he has the right to call his wife, and after watching the video to the end I can say my opinion has not changed at all.
This is helpful. I've already somewhat started the journey but busy life has definitely caused me to not take it seriously enough. This is extremely inspiring for me right now. Thank you
*Power Couple* ...is what everyone sees the moment when you two walk in the door together. Mad Love guys!
Love this, especially since it's coming from real people and not these bs fitness gurus on tiktok, that always beat around the bush and try to sell you something. Glad you guys are healthier and it's been awesome going through these years feeling like we've known you guys forever. Awesome people.
Appreciate the kind words!
Both of you look great. And seeing the results in these video to ones you made 4 years ago is really inspiring. Makes me feel like I can definitely achieve my goal weight and physique in just a couple years.
I love the way you both approached this video. Very kind, understanding and nonjudgmental.
Early in the video, how Mrs Lush quickly describes when she explains why she started her weight loss journey, I know some people find the beginning to be the hardest but it really is just one day, out of compulsion, you just realize you’re done be complacent with being enough, that’s how it is for everyone. You can’t just say, “oh next week is when it happens,” because when Monday hits you’re gonna be tired, so you’ll say, oh I’ll just do it tomorrow, and you’re back to step one
Having someone to hold you accountable is such a Great asset!!! Removing alcohol is the biggest and healthiest change you can make in regards to weightloss!!! 👏👏👏
I am so happy that you two are happy and healthy! It's cool also how you have a degree in Exercise Science and Mrs. Lush is a Nurse. I got my first degree in Exercise Science and then went back and got a degree in Nursing :)
Thanks for sharing!! A lot of this similar advice has helped me with the opposite problem, to gain weight. I always struggled to reach a healthy body weight until i started working out and counting calories which caused me to be conscious of the foods i eat and how often. If you’re struggling to gain , you can do it . Lots of set backs but I’m up 20 pounds since post pandemic and slowly but surely building up at another 10.
Sending y’all the best no matter what journey you’re on 🎉
i didn't know that's what Mrs. Lush looked like and that is such an awesome transformation. i love that! im not like fat but I'm not the weight I want either. I've been intermittent fasting but I've been fluctuating at a certain weight and it's getting a bit discouraging. this was definitely inspiring. awesome work, Mrs. Lush though! it's super awesome to see that transformation and process that you made!
Thank you for this. I struggle with my weight since I was a teenager and I'm trying to find the will and I just can't stay on course. But thank you to you and Mrs Lush for showing yourselves now and than. It's truly amazing what will and courage for change can do for someone. Salute 🫡 to you both 👏🏽
Incredible work, and what a good example for your son! Breaking generational curses and all that, making every generation better than the last 💜
Thanks for posting this. I’ve been struggling lately wondering where to start and now I have a better idea ❤️❤️❤️
I like this style of video. Kinda like a mini podcast. I wouldn’t complain if I saw more of these from you guys.
both of you, lok amazing! you guys actually made me start going to the gym, once i entered my 30's i stopped being a twig and put on a quite a few pounds. So thank you guys, keep it going and u guys loook amazing! oh i lost 30kg and am back to my originall weight but with more muscle now.
You guys are inspiring me. I have always worked out and stayed in pretty good shape until some medical issues a couple years ago. Depression set in and I have gained 80 lbs and an so uncomfortable. I'm trying to get to get to that first day at gym and struggling. I've never been the fat girl at the gym but that's what I am. But THANK YOU FOR THE INSPIRATION
Mr. & Mrs. Lush, this is exactly what I needed at exactly the right time. As a yo-yo exerciser/dieter I totally relate and am ready to get back on track. Thank you! Much love from Irish in London. ❤
I’ve been waiting for this video! Amazing job guys, both of you look strong as hell 💪🏼💪🏼. My husband and I started a CrossFit journey a little less than a year ago and in general really started upping our health and fitness as a big priority.
Another reason why I love you guys - thank you for showing us how a committed, healthy couple can find success together ❤
❤ Love it! How did these changes affect your parenting? I started walking daily & cutting out sugary food. I noticed I have so much more patience since I’m in a good mood.
This is awesome to see! Im mid way through my health journey and things are going awesome, in the end its really down to having the patience to figure out what works for you❤ ❤❤
Can’t believe I’ve been watching Lush Life for 4 years already!! Great video! Proud of y’all Mom an Dad💯🍅💪
Thank you for this video, it came at a perfect time for me. I'm currently on my big weight loss journey counting calories and it's so tough sometimes and I'm in the biggest slump right now since I began back in april. I started at 115kg and am down to 94kg - goal is 80kg so I can qualify for fertility treatment, but I've been stuck here for a while, and listening to you talk about your mindset about not blaming yourself but treating the weight fluctuations as awareness has given me a new angle to keep going ❤️ I'm so happy for your strength and patience to go through this !
I really wasn't feeling like being active today but this video just lit a fire under me, actively head to the gym. Thanks to both of yall.
I have been fat and lazy most of my life, not obese just fat and the best thing that ever happened to me was Covid lockdown. With nothing to do all day it was the motivation start exercising and being on reduced income there was no money to waste on junk food. At 51 years old I am now fitter, stronger and healthier than I was in my twenties. My only regret is that I did not start earlier since now is the life stage where building muscle is an uphill battle you can't win, still it is better than being fat with no muscle.
Such an amazing journey! Can’t believe how incredible you both look now! Thank you for posting this
The hardest thing, for most people, is figuring out WHAT TO EAT. A daily meal list would be lovely 🥰
I started working out almost 4 months ago, and even though I knew I wasn't gonna see a huge change after a month, I thought there'd be more of a noticeable difference, if I hadnt enjoyed working out I would've been discouraged, so I changed my mindset and realized my muscles are stronger, exercising is way easier than it was a month ago and were starting from nothing its gonna take a little time for the results to show but I can feel a difference so I'm 4 months in and I feel good and my muscles are stronger
Have really noticed Leon slimming up within the past year or 2, not to say he wasn't an absolute beast before
Never even realize Mrs Lush though, always radiant
I think it should be noted that consistency is also really important for weight training/weight loss. You probably won't noticed changes for a while, but you still have to keep at it regardless. Eventually you will see the changes you want, so long as you're doing this properly.
I found Mr Lush’s main channel just around 24 hours ago, and loved it! As soon as I came to a vid where he talks about Lush Life, I instantly hopped over, and have been nonstop binging since… As someone in a terribly lonely, and unhealthy marriage 20 year marriage, it gives me such unbelievable JOY to see the two of you together! You both warm my heart so much! You were instantly my favorite RUclips couple, and that was BEFORE I found THIS video!!!! Holy fucking shit. Mrs Lush, you are fucking GORGEOUS!, and were drop dead before you lost the weight as well!! I’ve lost 205 lbs myself (yes I was huge lol) I’m just so much more in love with you now, and I didn’t think it was possible!! ❤ Oh and you’re aight too Mr Lush 😜
As a personal trainer and kinesiology major you both are great role models and examples of how to lose weight and improve your health in a productive way. Love your stuff, keep it up!
It’s awesome to hear you guys put in the work, hold yourselves accountable, but also have grace and humor about it. You can see and hear the love and support y’all both have for each other. I recently started back in the gym and tracking food to get back into a better shape and I’m really proud of the fact that I haven’t missed a day in the gym and I’m already seeing results!
This is an amazing video guys. Jackson is lucky to have parents like you. Thank you for sharing your stories and lifting us up
Aww, thanks for sharing this conversation and the process, you two are just so dad-gummed wholesome! I've struggled with severe mental health issues my whole life, finally started getting help for it fairly recently. The meds and self-work were able to lead me to the point of realising the things I put into my body can have a dramatic effect. I can see now how helpful it would be to my brain if my body were in better condition; I would like to get into boxing as part of my anger management, and am starting off with all the tone and musclulature of a newborn baby. The extensive weakness of my feet is still the most limiting, but no-impact dancing in place does not hurt so that's what I'm doing for now. Maybe in a little while I'll be able to go on a treadmill, but for now just doing what I can with what I have. Thanks for making such a nice space for your viewers.
That was very uplifting! I know I feel so much better when I am close to my ideal weight.
Thank you for this post and for being so inspirational and relatable. Love from the UK ❤❤❤
Congrats on your achievements! My bf and i recently did keto, he lost a lot of weight,i lost 15 lbs but gained it back from stress and depression.. but keto ice cream is actually quite good surprisingly
That really sucks I’m sorry for your situation :(
The big depresso espresso always makes me lose weight, which was fun at first! But now, not so much. Don’t let yourself binge eat OR starve. The sad feelings might feel a bit better when you do but in the long run….. 😩
I’m rooting for you girlie pop
CONQUER YOUR DREAMS
DOMINATE YOUR WEIGHT
DESTROY THOSE PROTEIN SHAKES 😤
@@kelseybrexit5224 i appreciate this!
I have been battling with my weight for DECADES! I was always a chubby kid, but i ate well and was an athlete, so i thought it was normal. NOPE! Middle school passed and by 8th grade i was at a high weight, 150lbs, and just quit everything. I was teased, beat up, and isolated from my peers, so that kept me in the house even more. Now i am 42 and I'm pushing 350 lbs and want to get rid of it. My boyfriend looks like Slender man and i look like Jabba The Hut. You two are great motivators! Thank you!
Inspirational! Keep doing what you are doing, both this and the "main" channel bring me a lot of joy. At 6ft, 280, I am just beginning the journey that I hope will get me healthier and get me more time with my family.
I'm so happy yall talked about this. Being 33, my metabolism has slowed down so much. It's uncomfortable. I watch every video! Never comment, but there's a first for everything ❤
I saw a thumbnail for an old video recently and I couldn't believe the difference in mrs lush especially. Yall made some awesome progress🙌 I'm a month into the gym and im putting on weight because I was really skinny. Counting calories is huge I thought I was eating a lot but I was barely hitting maintenance. Now Ive been gaining 2lbs a week and feel better than ever
I’ve done both methods of starting with diet change first, then incorporating exercise and vice versa. For me, the initial motivation to get started was easier if I focused on diet changes first…but often I would go off the rails before I would even get to a point of incorporating exercise.
The biggest successes (85-100lb losses) were when I started with exercise first-and I also much prefer strength training to cardio. I just felt better physically & more accomplished, which gave me more motivation to preserve those feelings by eating more healthily.
That said, I may have won some battles, but I’m still losing the war, so take that for what you will. Congrats to the Lush fam for your results!
Watching Mrs Lush's transformation has been badass! Formerly 587 pounds, currently residing at 320 pounds standing 6'7 at 35 years old.
As someone who has lost over 200lbs (put some back on now but still 170 down) I agree with everything said. Consistency is key and just treat the numbers as a data point. Thank you both for sharing and helping us all keep a level head on the subject. Congratulations on living a healthy life together!
Inspirational. Ive been watching Leon since he started youtube which for me was at an age when i didnt clock that the name “Leon Lush” was a pseudonym. It’s great to see he’s come so far with the person he loves
I started running at about the middle of the year 2020 a mile every day. Not really watching what I ate or anything, but this was a big step for me as I'd never really done anything like it. But the past summer I decided to really step it up. Looking at my progress almost makes me emotional, cause I wasn't the fat kid growing up, but I wasn't the fittest. It feels so good to be making this progress. Thanks for sharing y'alls wisdom and process. Ps, the reminder that it takes time is very helpful and important. Appreciate y'all so much.✌️
From powerful couple to power couple, major kudos!
I just can’t believe how long I’ve been subscribed.
You two have been a part of my entertainment life!
You guys are just such an awesome couple. U know when ppl say couple goals.! Yall are it. ❤️ love both of yous. Xoxoxo thank u for sharing ur journey w/ us!
This is a fantastic video. I am super stoked for both of you!
Yesssss the timing of this is hilariously perfect because I decided this weekend to clean up what I’m consuming!
This was a great video and I think this was the most honest way of sharing the way to loose weight. The take away for me is to burn off more than you eat. It's very simple but also very hard to get started 🥵
I gained a rather huge amount of weight from I was 40-45 due to a job change. I worked as a lumberjack and did martial arts and although I ate a lot I still ate healthy, oatmeal, rye bread, chicken or turkey and fruits and vegetables. After quitting as a lumberjack I still ate the amount of food as I did before and that's where it all went tits up for my weight. Now, I've dropped almost all the weight again simply by eating less and exercise more. Not someone who've weighed myself reguarly but when I'm at my "normal" weight I'm at around 175, right now I think I'm around 190. I'm 5' 11".
My wife and i have such a similar story. My wife got triggered into working out 5 times a week from us looking at our wedding photos on our anniversary two years ago. She realized that she didnt look like that anymore. She gets up at 4:30am every day and goes to her crossfit gym. I was sliding too and she inspired me to get back to the grind.
Y'all are simply the best. Thank you for being on the internet, and always a bright spot in an ocean of darkness. You both have your quirks, you are northerners after all, but you're absolutely amazing people. I was there when Lush Life first started, and I'll be here till it ends. Thank you for all you do.
You guys are glowing! Congrats on your transformation!!! I’m not trying to lose weight, but this video inspired me to do better when it comes to my diet. I like how you guys mentioned you can’t workout a bad diet because that is so true
mrs lush has made a remarkable transformation, congrats! this gives me motivation to cut back on soda and begin walking. if i could loose 20 lbs i would be so much healthy. thanks for this video.
You both look great!! 😊❤
As someone has grown up in New England, call me bias, but I feel like it's tough up here when it comes to weight lose. (I'm sure every demographics has their own positives & negatives)
Thank you for your encouraging input!! ❤
I watch you guys cuz you are down to Earth & real ppl! You're not phoney & fake & represent most families on RUclips ❤
