----ABOUT THIS VIDEO-----
We have lost over 160 pounds by changing our diet and our lifestyle. In this video, we talk about how we looked and felt before we lost weight. We discuss why we adopted the diet we adopted, how we felt after we began losing weight, and some of the things we learned along our weight loss journey.
We were really sick and suffered from a wide variety of issues from high blood pressure to hormonal issues and pre-diabetes. We adopted a whole food plant based (vegan) diet after eating Eat to Live by Dr. Joel Fuhrman, and then we cut processed sugar and flour after reading Bright Line Eating by Dr. Susan Pierce Thompson.
We feel 1000% times better, and wanted to share our journey in case it can help motivate or inspires someone else on their weight loss journey. We have a number of other videos on meal prep, healthy eating, and pantry essentials.

Because of this video im going vegan - not tomorrow, not monday, but TODAY ♥️
Anita Nielsen I started yesterday ... Congrats
Ex Vegan here. Don't do it!
@@thatdiycouple5513 Yip its been a week and "Daughter of the King" still have nothing to say because there IS nothing to say. Wonder who the "king" is of this "daughter" ??
VIVA VEGANISM !!!
Me to going give it a try
@@daughteroftheking2200 you are clueless. You didn't follow veganism proper
My husband reversed diabetes and high blood pressure by going vegan.The doctor was shocked
What do u mean by that ?? All of a sudden hes no longer insulin resistant ??
WOW GRAT JOB
My dad did the same thing. He educated himself and never took the drugs given him. He now feels like he’s 40, at 80 years young. The sad truth is that most doctors are so ignorant about nutrition.
@@dmp1520 type 2 can be reversed. Its very different from type 1.
@@Nomadic.A if that is true then why doesnt the medical establishment universities hospitals etc know this and inform the public ?
Love how she looks at him the entire time he's speaking. True love!
YES SHE LOVES HIM THATS WHY SHE LOOKS AT HIM.
Hunger pains
Great job guys! I’ve lost 111lbs, also. ❤️
Wow!!!! ❤️❤️❤️
That’s amazing!
I grew up a meat-loving carnivore but lately I can't stand anything about meat, especially the knowledge of consuming something that used to be a breathing, living thing with legs and a face. Now I go for the vegan "meats" that taste so much better than real meats ever did, and my body feels a lot better now too without all the toxic animal chunks rotting away in it. Plus I've lost a little weight already.
I went plant based a long time ago but i quickly lost 80 lbs by diet change alone and have been the same weight for years now. I lost 9 sizes on just my pants. Im a short guy so it is terribly hard to find clothing now but i guess thats a good problem lol. What you eat is the most important thing you can do for yourself. My only regret was that i didnt do it sooner and while i was in my 20s haha.
I'm struggling to do what is right for my body. Having arthritis makes life difficult. Veganism is my goal. Fruits and veggies make sense. To be blunt, I want a life, not just to be present. Your video is inspiring.
Eat meat based and all ur symptoms will dissaper !
@@thatdiycouple5513 hey. I too suffer chronic pain. I too have gone vegetarian working towards veganism. I can tell a major difference. I am learning. It is so much fun and interesting and an adventure. It feels good to be able to eat tons of food and not have to feel like you have to watch fat calories and all tht. Good Luck. Enjoy.
I cried watching your story. I relate to you as a female trying to loose weight. The trying on clothes crying sessions I've had them WAY too many times. I recently decided to become vegetarian. And right now i am taking this a day at a time. I do not want to be unhealthy anymore. I am so tired of how I have been feeling. I only hope I can see the results not just with weight loss but a lot of issues that I am facing. I feel very confident about eating this way. And I hope I too can one day look back and laugh at how i felt one day.☺
You can do it!! Love yourself and you would be able to do it! It’s been 14 days wfpb and I already feel the difference! I don’t have the headaches in the beginning. But I. Love this! wfpb! Need to love and forgive myself to take and treat myself better then I ever before. This is the self control we can have for ourselves , healthy choices healthy living and loving others as well!
I recently adopted plant based eating and it's amazing the changes in a matter of weeks.
Kathleen Wow! Really?!!! What kind of changes did you have and how long did it take to see these changes
Kathleen Gage - I have no idea what I am doing wrong, I have been WFPB for a few months and I am not experiencing any weight loss 😭😭😭
Agreed
@@ajablue651 what are you eating and are you drinking enough water? For me it's 6-8 portions of veggies to 3-4 portions of fruit per day. Lots of leafy greens, salads and make sure you get enough proteins / lentils, beans etc.
@@nikki27ish I eat oatmeal with a tablespoon of peanut butter 2 tablespoons of flax meal and a tablespoon of maple syrup for breakfast. I make soups with beans and onions carrots lentils etc. different soups and I always add spinach or kale to it I have a kale and spinach smoothie sometimes for lunch dinner will be a coconut curried red lentil soup with rice about a cup to a cup and a half of rice. I'll make tofu jerk pieces and eat them in a wrap with hummus tomatoes cucumbers sometimes with roasted peppers that I roast myself on the stovetop so it's not like it's an oil or anything
I've been eating lots of fruits and vegetables I eat avocado everyday with either my salad or my dinner, once in awhile I'll put a quarter or half of a small Hass avocado in my smoothies and I drink tons of water I get in at least 64 to 74 Oz of water a day. So I don't know what I could be doing wrong why it's not working for me.
This was so inspiring. I have about 40-50 lbs of weight to lose and sometimes it feels like I never will. I’m 5’4 and 180lbs. My goal weight is 130-140 lbs. In 2015 I weighed about 125-130 lbs. I believe poor eating and meds have made me gain weight, but before this time I’ve always been petite. Thank you for your time and video. It has encouraged me to keep moving forward, soon I will start a plant based diet and I’m already working out. I’ll get there! ^_^
This is amazing! It’s January 2nd and my husband and i are going vegan for 66 days to try it out. So excited! Thanks for being vulnerable and sharing
Lauren Astudillo hows it going for you?
Good video, just wish the background music wasn't so loud.
That DIY Couple Super. Thx because I am battling to hear you but I am really interested in what you are saying. ;) Have just subscribed
I agree!! Ugh
I didn’t find a problem with it
What a lot of nasty people
Didn’t even notice background music🤷♀️
My husband reversed diabetes, high cholesterol and high blood pressure by going vegan.
Shannabanana McInnis-Hurd congratulations. That is life changing
sanjeev gaikwad truly.
This is so inspiring!!! I am also overweight and need to lose considerable weight. I am now 1 week into my vegan journey. I’m so happy I found this video and can’t wait to see the results!!! You both did incredibly well!!! Well done! 👏🏼
I cried. My story is the same as hers and it feels good to hear someone who understands the struggle and shame
You guys are so cool and honest and vulnerable. Very genuine, warm and kind-hearted people! Wish we had more people like you in this world
THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR STORY!!! How brave of you and please know that it helps others! You are truly an inspiration!!!
Congratulations!
I can't think why on earth anyone would give this video a thumbs down - maybe they're jealous.
The video demonstrates perfectly that healthy living is a lifetime thing. There's no maintenance if you're already eating right and exercising. Being your best means to "Be your best", always.
Great job, nicely done believable and inspirational. Especially the “team” feel to your supportive relationship over time...independent yet loving.
Lovely stories but the music volume is so disturbing!
Same here loved the story, but the music was very overpowering. Love to see more
Totally agree, too noisy and distracting.
This is so inspirational, I'm going to buy this book, my husband and I, need to loose some wait, you are such a great couple.
This is an amazing story!!! You two look freakin’ AWESOME, and you both have worked so hard! Your videos are helping and inspiring so many people! Thanks for being real and sharing your story, wishing you guys all the best!!!!!
Thank you for sharing your inspiring story on your journey to wellness.
I am also 6'5". Just started being vegan and I am 76 yrs young. Only just started 3 weeks ago and have lost 14 lbs. My wife is not on board yet but definitely could use this program so I have to do this on my own. Started this time at 265 lbs.
I am lazy so I am blending my fruits and vegetables. I started doing this 3 times a day but now I am down to twice a day. I am doing this for health reasons.
I am a new diabetic, have high cholesterol, high blood pressure, 3rd stage kidney failure, irregular heartbeat, fatty liver. My doctor has recommended stanton for high cholesterol and glipizides for high blood sugar. so I am hoping to reverse some or all of these conditions. I was shooting for may 220 but you look amazing at 180.
I was 185 when i graduated from high school but by the end of my freshman year was 235 because of a milk machine an beer. Have never lost any of it since then. My highest was 280. Wish me luck.
I read eat to live a few years ago. I am looking forward to your new videos. Thank you!!
This was so good for me to hear. I am a tall girl too at 6’ and even though I wasn’t overweight when I was younger, I struggled with an eating disorder for many years. I stopped the purging but not the binging. I eventually went Vegan, lost a lot of weight, and then started eating a junk food Vegan diet and gained the weight back plus more. I have autoimmune issues causing arthritis and Hashimoto’s so my immune system and hormones are out of balance. This was really inspiring and look forward to more info from your channel.
Love you guys! You are so compassionate with yourselves and others! Keep these videos coming!
Awesome video. Thanks for sharing , you both look amazing! Subscribed
Incredible. And I feel like, with your videos, my daughter and I could lose weight and get healthy. My daughter is 16 years old,
5'11", and weighs 260 lbs. I'm 50 years old, 5'6", and weigh 211 lbs. I'm suffering with many health issues, one of which is arthritis. I also have fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue, along with GERD, etc. I'm so excited and can't wait to share this with my daughter! She has been working so hard exercising. So excited! This is going to change our lives. I'm especially excited for my daughter.
Thank you SO much for your videos!
How is the plan going for you and your daughter?
I lost 29 pounds in 12 months, was vegetarian for 5 months and then vegan for 7 months. Most of my weight loss came in the latter months once I went vegan. It's been so beneficial for me, and I'm not even eating at my healthiest. Now that I'm out of school, I'll be able to cook less processed meals so I can't wait to be able to feel even better.
I want to cook healthier overall, try new fruits & vegetables, and avoid late night eating
Yay! I am on Day 42 of BLE. It has been a revelation. I am also a 6'1 (and 3/4" :)) woman. So inspiring to see your journeys so far. Looking forward to watching more of your story! All the best to both of you.
Thank you, you have inspired me to stay on the new path of plant based eating I have started a week ago
You two are so real and so sweet. I feel the same way- and as a woman I totally feel the same way. I used to be skinny and now I’m fat again... this was so motivating.
Thank you for being so authentic! I am going through some of the same weight problems, I will start BLE tomorrow! Looking forward to following you, Thanks again.
You guys a great! Thanks for sharing your journey, even given how uncomfortable it may have been to share the older footage. It was very touching and well-told, and the editing was spot on too. Subscribed!
Thanks for being here! :)
Love how you guys do things together.
Thank you so much for this video. I'm struggling and your words and actions are inspiring. I've subscribed and can't wait for more videos.
Awesome success for you both! I needed to hear this message.Will check Bright Line book . Hope to watch lots more of your videos. You are a sweet couple. 👍👏😀❤️
After going vegan my hair just went frosted tips and I can feel the energy of the earth under my feet. Is this normal? I might be a superhero...
Totally inspirational! Thanks 🙏 for the wonderful video!
y'all are amazing!! love your vibe. love your story. love your honesty. my favorite vids so far are the weekly prep vids. this is going to be the key for me. maybe do one on kitchen appliances? I just bought a high powered blender that will get the stuff hot inside if I want to make a nut-based cheese sauce. looking forward to using my insta pot too.
Kudos to you both and thank you for your selfless tribute! So many struggle and want to change, but don't believe it is possible. Your story makes possibility a reality, not just a dream. Hopefully more and more people will see your video and benefit from it and others like it.
I am where you both were. I need to lose 80 to 100 lbs. I’m a sz 16, and pre-diabetic. It’s been so hard for me not knowing whether to eat a vegan diet or a keto diet. It makes me yo-yo. Thank you for posting this because it makes me feel like there’s hope for me!
Norma Jimenez I'm the same as you.... have you heard of the Hippocrates institute way of eating (vegan)..... its lower fruit which is better those who are insulin resistant. I tried both high carb vegan and keto....... both had major issues long term.... I hope this info helps you.
@@Eye2C33 Thank You! I'll look into it.
Love you guys!!!! Thank you for your transparency of your struggles and your solution! Super great! 😄😘❤️
Wow! What a transformation! So inspiring. I'm glad you two figured it out.
Awesome! I’m in tears. You two are so inspiring. I can do this now! Thank you!
Just rezoomed on BLE. I lost 32 pounds 6.5 months. Thank you for being brave enough to share your story! Wish I could get my husband on board!!
Congrats. I was having issues losing last 10lbs and since going back vegan it’s just dropping off without even trying . I contribute that to ditching oils, high fats , sugar and anything processed , fried as well as animal foods. Cheers to good heath .
Amazing video!! New sub :) God bless you two on your journey x
Loved watching your story !!!! You guys are inspiring.
I just started my vegan journey. You guys are gold! your authenticity your love, and your inner light inspired me so much!
Amazing story!! Thanks for sharing.
Congratulations! Thanks for sharing your story, it’s so inspiring for those of us still struggling. 💜
What an inspirational video! Thank you for sharing your journey with all of us! 😌
Thank you for sharing your testimony! Your story is incredibly inspirational. God bless you guys!!
I'm glad I came across your video. So inspiring I had to click subscribe. I've been trying to eat vegan for more than a year, but I've fallen into the trap of being a junk food vegan and it's frustrating. I can totally relate to the digestion issues and I'm hoping get more motivated and a lot of information to move to a whole foods plant based diet. Thanks for sharing ❤
Love this video! Thanks for all the great info...
this is so inspiring, thank you so much for sharing!
someone recommended i listen to your story, and i'm so grateful i did,
my biggest struggle is not really having any other support or help to do this journey (doing this solo),
and not knowing how to prep/maintain the healthy meal plans.
i am very interested in this healthy and nutritional eating/way of life, and would LOVE love love to have it be a part of my regular lifestyle to prep/eat healthy natural meals, but again... doing this myself, and overwhelmed by knowing how/where to start with making those meals...
any helpful ideas or supportive tips? :)
Awesome to see the vegan message spread in such an inspiring, non-pushy way. You guys are great!
Such inspiration!!! You two are an amazing success story. Thank you
I have Diabetes and PCOS and I've been a Vegan for a week. I feel Great! The first two day I found that I was always hungry so I added more protein to my diet, now I feel so good...
Congratulations!! I have just started a Plant based diet and loving it... Can already feel the change. Your story is inspiring
Wow. Thank you so much for sharing. So inspiring and relatable.
Awesome inspiring video!!! I’m so happy you two have figured this out at such a young age! God bless you both and your marriage!💜🙏🏻
I’m doing Bright Line Eating too!! Love it:) this video is amazing and you both are so strong and such good examples! Thanks for sharing your story!
Really enjoyed this video, you guys are great. It’s really great that y’all are doing this together. What y’all doing
Now. It would be really nice if ya keep sharing with us. Have a wonderful day.👍👍👍😊😊😊
Omg thank you! I tried the eat to live plan and felt like I was the only person in the world who couldn't lose weight eating salads. I hope bright line eating will help me too.
Awesome, you guys❤️. Thanks for sharing!!
You two look awesome! Very inspiring! Thank you ~ 🌻🌻
I'm so happy for both of you.
Congratulations!
🥀 Hi ! I started watching Yazemeenah Rossi's RUclips video today, with Shannon as her guest, and I had to stop watching so I could watch this video first, so I'd understand the weight loss journey you were speaking about. WOW !! GREAT JOB, you two !! I'm inspired by you both ! I've been on a better eating, daily exercise regimen since Feb. of this year (2021) beginning at 201 lbs, and am currently weighing in at 168.8 lbs. I feel so much better ! What jolted me into this healthier lifestyle was my Dr telling me if my blood sugar continued to creep up, we'd be having a pre-meds-diabetes talk at my next appointment. It scared me ! I went home and began planning the following day ! Whew !! I am so much happier, and feel stronger than I have in years !! Did I mention I'm turning 60 this month ?? lol
Thank you so much for sharing your journey with us !! Good luck in all your future endeavors, and God Bless !! Love you guys ! 😍🌹
You both are so inspiring! Thank you for sharing your journey and being brave enough to show footage of before going vegan. This just reaffirms my decision of living this lifestyle.
Amazing video. Thank you for sharing all of it. You both are beautiful inside and out. God bless!! 💗💗💗
I have many of the same symptoms of you. I have PCOS and am pre diabetic and am on the Eat to Live Diet. I just ordered the book you recommended. My husband is losing much more than me too. I have fibromyalgia too. New subscriber.
Wonderfull work thank you guys for share this experience with us
Amazing!! Thanks for sharing your success and struggles! Encouraging 😊
Thank you for this video, it’s much appreciated xxx
You both look great! So happy for you both! I have Eat to Live andvso I need to read it again and follow the plan!!
I love this! I have been on so many diets and fad weight loss programs. I also look for the right now weight loss instead of a healthy long term fix. Up until recently I ate foods I thought were healthy but found out with more research and no weight loss that the foods were terrible still for my body. This video is very inspirational for me and since I know Shannon personally and have all faith in her I know I could trust the program and maybe this is exactly what I need. THANK YOU! Cant wait to see more
DIY Couple, ya'll are super awesome and encouraging! I know exactly how you used to feel and I'm on a journey to be healthy.
I just lost 20 lp in 1 month. The only thing i did was quit junk food. This includes candy, soda, pizza, potato chips, fast food, energy drinks, etc. I really love bread and diary so i decided to quit those too. To replace the junk food, I ate kale, spinach, olive oil, coconut oil, fruits, and once a week home baked potato. To replace the creamer in my coffee, I had KetoCreamer (which was really great). I did have yogurt once a week. I did have a serving of a desert 1 time a week on weekends. Now that I'm entering my second month, I realize that I need to eat more protein. Way back when i was in college, I was working out an hour a day and eating really healthy salads with a side of meat. Due to fatigue, my metabolism collapsed and I just started eating everything bad- consequently I gained 100 lb. Looking back now I realize I wasn't eating enough protein. I over worked my muscles and didn't feed them right. Now, I'm considering becoming a vegan and looking at veggies high in protein. I want to be healthier than i was in college! And i want to be this healthy for life!
Great job guys! Thank you for sharing! 😊
You guys are honest and you motivate me. Love your channel. I am now a new subscriber.
Amazing! Way to go! Very inspirational
Great work you guys looks great!
I too got my kickstart with the Eat To Live plan. Dr. Thurman's plan led to my total plant based eating lifestyle. Total loss 132 pounds but now living within a 122 pound maintenance range. It's been hard but amazing. I enjoyed this video so much. I've not read the BLE book but my friend has and has made a different in her. I've eat her her videos online and have enjoyed them. I have an erratic exercise schedule right now, and don't know how much that is playing into my stall out. Or so it seems. Maybe my mind needs a break from it all. Looking back reminds where I've been and I desire to move forward.
You both look awesome and so much younger, kudos on the amazing weight loss! Beautiful couple! 😍😘❤️🤗
That DIY Couple sorry about the comment, I didn’t think you’d read it, I’m so embarrassed now 😊... I’m gonna delete it. Both of you look great! Kudos on the weight loss! I’m glad John eats eggs! I eat raw eggs and they give me so much energy and I luv raw meat 🥩
Congratulations on your great achievements. You both look great. Thanks for sharing and inspiring.
Thank you for sharing!
Thank you for sharing your journeys.
Thank you for sharing this. I had been transitioning into a plant based diet but I never would have thought about combining that with Bright Line Eating. This is really helpful to me. Wish me luck!
You guys make very good videos. Keep up the good work
Thanks for your video, what an amazing transformation and a healthy one as well. Way to go! I've been vegan for just over a year and never plan to go back. I feel 100% better, feel extra good about the environment and animals too.
You rock thank you for sharing you give me hope I’m 44 and 5”5 and weigh 237 I have so many health issues and basically tried every diet out there 😥 today is day five for me on a raw vegan diet I have been vegetarian for the past 6 months and only lost 16 lbs 🥺 I do intermediate fasting as well ...also detoxing my body for the past year or so I just really felt nothing would work so I was in the process of going threw with the lap band but my dr will not permit the surgery he says I’m to high of a risk 😒 so this was my next step hoping and praying it worked but so difficult the 2nd day I snuck and gorged a whole bag of French fries so my will power and disciple is weak but if I don’t do something quick I might not be here to see my 7yr old son grow up so it’s do or die !! You two are such a inspiration thank you once again for being so transparent and allowing us to see your story 💪🏼 your amazing big hugs congrats to you both 🥳
I have a similar story only it has gone on much longer. I’m in my 60’s and just started a vegan plan. It is amazing how much better I feel. And weight is starting to melt away. 😊 thank you for your story.
I can soooo relate!!! 😞 I commend you both for your bravery and congratulations on your weight loss journey! ❤️
Well done guys. I can really relate to yr stories. I struggled with weight since a child too.
I use food to comfort, when I feel stressed to eat more. My weight was a yoyo, i used exercise to keep me trimmed. When I took on full time job 4 months ago, stopped exercising worked longer more stressed. The job and the promotion gained me a stone!
In the last 11days I decided to go plant based life style. I love it, for the first time I felt I can truly eat good carbs. Rice, veg, beans and potatoes makes me feel full! I dont binge or overeat as much anymore. Lost 5-6lbs in 11days too!
Way to live, more happier inside. 🙏😘
I love this video...just stumble upon it!!! Do you guys use any cookbooks to create your meals?
So inspiring❤️ Thank you❤️
Thanks for posting this video, which will help so many people 👍🏻
Great story! Keep it up!
