Hello🥰 Don't mind the gap🤣, the loose skin will shrink. My mom lost about 20 kilo in 3 months, from: 68 to 48 kg, now 52 kg, 157 cm, about 3 years later in diet; slim, normal arm skin, ok muscle, She is 62 yrs nao, Happytimez:) 🙌🤙
Love it have all 3 bony butt, wobbly bits and lose skin. What I don't have any more is diabetes, high blood pressure, gerd, fibromyalgia and IBS. I'll take all the good with the bad to be healthy.
awesome, i too healed myself of fibro, and chronic fatigue, & pre diabetes !! & got off 2 stomach pills & 1 for bowels too. & high bld pressure meds.. I feel 50 , not 68 !!
After losing 130lbs, I would still turn sideways to go through my door at work even though I no longer needed to. I never knew there was a phrase for it. It took about 3 years before I no longer did that. You're doing a great job. Keep it up! 👏
I went through a huge weight loss while also job hunting many years ago. My friend told me to go to the Goodwill in the Ritzy part of town. Found pants and suit jackets that only fit for 2 weeks but they got me through those 2 weeks (and several interviews) and were maybe $3 each? And when they were too big, I donated them. :)
S Lynne thrift stores are the best place to buy more disposable clothing items. I only like to buy clothes from normal stores if they are more of an investment piece.
My kinesthetic awareness was off for a couple of years after I released 120 lbs back to the Universe. Where I would sit, how far from a table, etc. - I was so screwed up for a while. However, I've maintained my weight release for 8 years now, and I know I'll never go back. Now, I know where I'm at in the world again, and I trust myself that I'll honor my healthy body by taking excellent care of myself.
Period was not TMI, thanks for sharing. Here’s my share: Losing weight and being at/close to goal weight always regulates my period. Being overweight was what made me irregular.
Jessica, the next time someone says they don't recognize you, just say thank you! I do that, it stops people for a second and then they smile! I love your videos. You are inspiring people young and old!
It needs to be ok that we talk about periods. A week out of every month for half the population and women are still feeling shameful and apologetic just talking about it
i will tell you what my weight loss surgeon told me ( 4 years ago , pre WFPB eating ) you need to be at a stable weight , as in not losing anymore, for at least 18 months to really KNOW how your skin will react, said people tended rush into skin repair / removal post weight loss...so much comes into play genetics, healthy diet 😁, hydration levels etc... thanks for all you share, you guys are a big inspiration, i dont have a lot of weight left to lose but i do have some health issues that have massively improved from applying what I have learned from you...and hubby has even joined me in this new way of eating! he really enjoys your videos too 💜
That sounds about right. The skin is fairly elastic, and will sometimes tighten up over time. For example, Penn J right when losing the weight, and Penn a year or two after that loss look much different in the face. Less "turkey neck" because the skin followed suit after a while.
I am in my weight loss journey as well. I am living abroad in Vietnam. I am under the care of my kung fu brother, who is a traditional vietnamese medicine doctor, and he is teaching me qigong and pushing hands (taiji tuisho). He said that qigong will shrink my loose skin. We are documenting this to prove whether it does or doesn't work. I can already see my skin tightening. I will keep you informed about how qigong and pushing hands effects my loose skin. I am a very tall woman and am Brian's current size. I think that the qigong will work, based on what I have seen in the martial arts world.
That's v interesting. I'm already seeing loose skin, still have at least 100 pounds to go. Gonna Google this, see if maybe I can do some of these exercises.
I am doing Chi gone for my MS and I do believe it would assist you with tightening your skin also walking maybe even up it to at brisk pace for the dogs of course
#7 - ABSOLUTELY!!! I lost my weight (80 lb.) maybe 20 years ago and I still don't cut between parked cars because I don't trust my judgement as to whether I will fit or not.
I lost 125 lb and the weirdest thing happened my whole life it was hard to fit into a booth and I would worry if I was going to get stuck and things like that and then it was weird one day after I lost the weight my mind was still telling me I was squeezed in the booth but then I looked down and there was space it was just a weird Awakening
My number one "Bad" thing about losing a lot of weight is social events that involve food. I either decline a lot of invitations, eat before I go, go hungry while everyone else eats, or bring my own food.
I feel compelled to mention that I believe in what you guys stand for so much. You are so real and transparent. Those of us struggling need to see that. You both have such a healthy glow from within. Thanks for sharing your journey, it takes a lot of courage to share such personal experiences.
I deal with the kinesthetic awareness. I've always played disc golf and after dropping 100lbs I had to re-learn my form since no longer having to compensate for "the belly". Overall I play way better, but remember it was a struggle I never really expected. Keep up the good vids guys!
Just a few suggestions-- use a tape measure to help with sizing and buy used clothing during transitioning. Long underwear or under armor help keep you warm. There are even thin under garment fabrics that work well so you don't have to wear all the bulky clothing.You guys are doing great!! Your transparency is refreshing!
Jessica and Brian, what a great video, I just kept saying, "Ohhh, yes that's what happened/is happening to me!" It's wonderful to know that what I'm experiencing is "normal" and life is so much better now that I'm eating more healthily and my GP tells me it's helping my heart condition and Type 2 Diabetes. Lots of love from Australia.
Hey Evelyn, not to steer you away from the Krocks, but I'm sure you'll still be a fan, but check out iThrive with Jon McMahon. I'm not diabetic but I did enjoy his videos
Re: People feeling awkward about your weight loss -- I visited a restaurant where the proprietor knows me by name. I hadn't been there in a year or so. She said, "You've lost weight!" then paused, and "Are you sick?" I laughed, and said, 'Yeah, sick of being fat!"
Honestly people that were really big and lose a lot of weight, look quite sickly, in my opinion, if I am honest. I don’t think people are trying to be mean.
Great video guys! I'm on the maintain end of my weight loss journey and have encountered most of these myself. I was 380 at my highest and now am at 180 over the course of 10 years. 1. I'm still always cold, everyone makes fun of me for it. 2 I added running after the weight loss and have gained a lot of my muscle back in my lower half. I can proudly say that bony butt syndrome can be cured with muscle growth. 3. My kinesthetic awareness was always in relation to me in a crowd of people or tight spaces with people. That did go away with the years and now I don't have a phantom body mass screwing with my awareness. BTW I really enjoy the collab between the entire WFPB videos, feels a lot like the Avengers lol.
Love it! Just think of the programming we have endured through movies, tv, advertising, etc. We have been taught to focus on appearances in every aspect of our lives. Happiness is letting the soul light shine!! Shine on! Thanks so much!
I had that experience with my body and space after having two hip surgeries and two back surgeries. I turned up about two inches shorter. So when I walked my body was closer to the ground! Took a few years to get used to it! It was so weird to feel my head was closer to the ground! Hard to explain!
I had one pair of sunglasses that affected my vision in a way that made me feel much closer to the ground. Weird!!! I actually had trouble walking while wearing those.
I’ve shrunk over the years. I lost 1.5 inches in height, and I agree t does feel weird, but I noice it most when I’m standing, I feel like I’m standing in a hole.
100% agree on the clothes! You hit it! I handle it by buying just one pair of pants and a couple of shirts to get me through to the next stage of weight loss.
I lost 100 pounds over six years ( first fourty over 5 yrs w/o trying and the last 60 in a year) and I’ve had alllll of these and I was only 235 at my heaviest!
Feeling the cold may be a negative now. Can you imagine what it will be like when summer really hits, it will be amazing. As you have lost weight have you noticed summer becomes more bearable?
Cold all the time? Get more iodine in your diet. More seaweeds and you can even take some tablets made of seaweed. I have been cold all my life, but it all turned around when I had supplemented with iodine for about 3 months.
Y’all aren’t kidding about the gas!!! I thought I was having a heart attack and had to go to the ER. My mom and husband call that episode cardiac gas. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
For me the weirdest "bad" thing was that it hurt to sit for a long time since I had less padding on my butt and hips. And I was 160lbs at my thinnest (I'm 5'9"), I don't understand how really skinny people can have a sit down job and not be in agony.
I'm skinny and it doesn't hurt a bit to sit. If I were to have the same skinny butt and one hundred pounds of upper body fat then it probably would. Being skinny makes more space and easier to move around.
You guys are so amazing. What an inspiration you are. So down to earth and just plain real. Thank you for addressing loose skin and imperfections concerning our bodies... Love and appreciate you both so much! 😘😇🙏. You are so right, in the end it's worth it all!!! From the ❤️ Vicki in Virginia
Oh my gosh the cold thing! I've lost weight and my husband hasn't, so hard to compromise on the house temperature and how many blankets to have on the bed! Hi from NZ!
-"new"clothes: get hand-me-downs from family/friends, or thrift when you can or alter the size of the stuff you already have (tutorials online for it). -hormonal/periods: I've lost my period for a good length of time twice in my "diet" journey. First time was on a high carb, low fat diet without calorie restriction, second time was on a lower carb, higher fat diet with calorie restriction. Neither of those diets really work for me when it comes to well being. In the first diet it was the low fat that was the culprit, in the second one it was the calorie restriction that was the culprit. I don't do those things and now things are great. -bony butt: I've always had this. The solution is thick bouncy sturdy pillows.
My husband and I started eating WFPB and SOS free almost 6 months ago. We are in our 70’s and have both lost weight easily and steadily. We have experienced some of these negatives, but the positives are life saving. My husband has Afib and his cardiologist has taken him off of 4 heart meds this week. He, the doctor, kept asking us, well what do you eat and where do you get your protein. I was laughing inside. Doctors are just not all trained in nutrition. Both of us are off of all cholesterol and blood pressure meds, and the energy we have both gained is so wonderful. My husband doesn’t exercise at all and I walk 3 and a half miles 6 days a week, so if you can’t exercise this works anyway. I only wish I had known about the health advantages to this years ago. Never too late to start though.
11:20 Wow, Brian, you can one arm Jessica 😃 Wish my hubby could. That must be really nice Jessica x Love you guys. Thanks for sharing the top 10. You've both encouraged me to get back to losing weight x
I started watching you a couple of months ago, so now I’m going back to your old videos. I really enjoy them. You are genuine people and I wish you the best. And Jessica, I pray that your life is long and healthy. ❤️
Always love you keeping it real! Feel like I'm sitting across the kitchen island from you. Thanks for talking about these things so the rest of us don't think we're weird. My husband loses a few pounds and he is cold all the time. I was kinda thinking it might all be in his head but now I know better thanks to you!
I also relate to the kinesthetic thing because I have nerve damage on my right side. I hit my right side into doorways and stuff a lot! Thank you both for being so inspirational and helpful for those on the health and helping animals path.
You're so right on the negative side of weight loss. It's funny but very true, however I'll take the loose skin instead of the excess weight. Being cold oh my goodness, yes I never feel warm enough in the winter.
This was very interesting...I started with you guys over a year ago but Ive been ill and have lost more weight than I should. Ive thought it was my illness that caused me to be cold all the time, the clothes, weakness, balance and loose skin.
So true, I can relate to getting used to spacial awareness. I was 440lbs at my heaviest and it really took me by surprise and it felt just weird at times.. I'm 260lbs at the moment and look forward to losing the last 60lbs 👍 😊 great video guys 👍
Why should he bother about that? Shouldn’t be his business. But goes regularly on his day. Unless the other guy mention something, then when offer of info as help flow come.
Kimber E I have so shocked twice to see someone who I did not know was losing weight that I was shy and almost speechless. Now that I’m older I’m not so shy I think I would give them compliments and ask them about it if they felt like talking about it.
Kimber E - No, not awkward really, but I felt really smug and self satisfied once. I have a sister in law who said to my husband once 20 years ago "you like the big ones huh". Fast forward 20 years later I'm now normal weight and she is huge. I wanted to rub it in her face but swallowed my tongue and was civil. But boy oh boy I sure felt like saying neener neener.
Great for you!! I also think it is wonderful that you have done it together. Thank you for saying the stuff about loose skin....honestly that has been scary to me in the past. Now that I'm in my 50s, I understand that it is more about health than being bikini thin. Your insight has been inspiring!
Thank you Jessica and Brian, for being so honest about these things. It make it more natural to have these “luxury problems”. About the farting, after being plant-based for about 8 years now, we have noticed that we only fart when adding sweet stuff down on top of beans, raw veggies etc. too early after eating. My husband is a sweets person whereas I have never been into sweet stuff and I almost never fart. We made some tests and found that eating something sweet within two hours of eating “farty products”, you get gas. It is like the sweetener starts a fermenting process in your stomach. If you wait a bit, the sugar does not start fermenting and you don’t fart as much. So now, we try to save the “sweet dessert” for later instead of right after dinner. We love your videos and admire your will power and then you have humour ... without humour life is boring! Love you guys 😘🤗
@@Equinox1.5 This is true. And always only eat juicy fruit on an empty stomach (bannanas are not a juicy fruit, they are a condensed fruit). This works best if eaten in the morning for the first meal of the day, and give it at least 1/2 hr before you eat anything else in order to give your stomach enough time to digest the fruit, before eating anything that isn't a juicy fruit, as your stomach will be empty then.
@@brenda9140 Exactly. I only eat juicy fruit on an empty stomach, otherwise I'm in trouble. Bananas are different for me. I can usually eat those after meals because they are more starchy than watery and don't seem to ferment in the same way as, say, a peach.
Appreciate your candor and I agree, don't think anyone should pressure people about their physical self. Congratulations on becoming so healthy - hate to say this but wait till your 70, a whole lot of things start falling and wobbling, :)
My boney butt issue is my tail bone. I lost my weight a couple of years ago and I still have tailbone pain even after building up my butt muscles. So much so that I am on medication. I recommend the egg sitter silicone pad. It is my favorite. I have one at work and one at home, and I used to have one in the car too.
I am relieved that I am not the only one not sure what to do about my clothing. After watching this I decided to go ahead and order another pair of capris in a smaller size. :)
Hi Jessica!!! Love the buying clothes issue... I have a closet with a wide range of sizes...what I need to do it get rid of the larger sizes as I get smaller so I don't feel the temptation to use them ever again!!
I've read that using a dry brush daily before a shower helps with firming up loose skin. Thanks for being truly transparent about the ups and downs of saving your lives. Love you guys so much! Keep on banging out the videos, we love them!
At my house we call our arm bits...bingo wings. If people don't want to see them, too bad. If I'm hot I want my arms free and cool. Congrats on your transformation.
I was watching your potato diet and saw this underneath it and was sooooo shocked at the difference. You guys are amazing a massive well done to you both!!
Yes I get what ya mean by physical depth perception Brian. When after losing weight it was easier to glide through passageways, now after putting on some of the weight the passageways are tighter and I have hit my shoulder walking through them. But I am losing weight again so really, "Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels" and I'm losing weight again and feeling good.
What a great topic - so many things that people want to know or didn’t know they would change (I am cold all the time. Seriously my temperature is like 97.6 these days lol). Keep up the good work guys!
I was always sick when I ate (over ate) and in 2 years I lost 75 pounds and now am so surprised how much better I feel. Becoming vegan helped alot with increasing weight loss and of course eating no sugar in any way shape or Form for 2 years
So many relatable things in this episode! I once lost 30 lbs and was running. Best health and shape I had been in and a few people asked if I had cancer! They were used to seeing me heavier. Also, I experienced the kinesthetic issue when I was pregnant. I was always misjudging how big I was and would get stuck a lot... Keep up the great work.
Jessica, You should totally get your hair colored and updated. I think you would feel so much better after doing it, think of it as a reward for losing all the weight. I dyed the gray out of my hair and purchased brighter color shirts after losing 40 pounds. Dark colors are a go to for fat people. I have lost 70 pounds doing a plant base diet starting 4/1/19. Your channel was one of the inspirations for my success. For anyone thinking of switching over to plant base, this is my top things to do. 1. Watch the movie "what the health". 2. Buy an air fryer. 3. Watch the many CZcams channels for cooking using the air fryer and eating plant base. 4. Costco's is my "go to" for plant base foods. Key note from my experience, once you make three weeks of only eating plant base after transitioning you will feel so much better. After a two months of eating right, my blood pressure dropped down to normal and I got off my blood pressure medication. I was still fat but my blood pressure dropped to normal. I'm still losing weight, I weighted 280 pounds today. I cannot wait until i'm in the 270's's then the 260"s, it's slower now but still happening.
I’m praying my period will become regular by losing weight 😓 pcos is the devil. Thank you for talking about that and not being bashful, it’s something so so so many women refuse to talk about and it leaves us non-regular girls feeling alone. ❤️
Dr Neil Barnard just wrote a book about hormones and PCOS. Maybe check it out? :) ❤️he was on the rich roll podcast, you can listen to that for free! Also on nutrition facts.org there are a few videos on the topic!
Wow I was trying to explain that kinestetic 'thing' to a friend and he looked at me like I was losing my mind. I'm glad it's something that exists. Thanks...I'll try the walking backwards method...hhm (btw, I lost 20 pounds and I can't see the difference at all in my reflection only on my clothes size).
In the past year, I have lost 60 lb switching to WFPB and had lost about 25 over the two years prior to that. You guys were the main inspiration to make me switch and stick to a healthy lifestyle. I have experienced just about all of these except loss of muscle. I did add exercise after the first 3 months of switching to WFPB. At first, I thought I wouldn't worry about the loose skin, but the excess skin on my stomach actually pulls on other areas when I cough or sneeze causing pain. I may have to consider skin removal surgery even though I don't want to go under the knife. Also, being cold all the time is so annoying! I used to be the one freezing everyone out of my office and home. Now they are all freezing me out!! On another note, a suggested video came up for me call "Krocks in the Kitchen Inspired Us to Come Back to CZcams" by a channel called Cuban Vegan Life. Apparently they attempted a vegan lifestyle a couple of years ago but didn't stick to it. They are now trying again. Maybe you guys and some of us followers could go over and support them!

Fun fact Jessica... Switching to a plant based life in Nov; do not get hot flashes. 💜📹💓
You know what Brian... My top weight was 165lbs and I have wable skin. It is life! 😁😅😫😍
I would love to watch a video in which you guys increase your physical activity! Maybe do a Q & A session while you take a nature stroll?
Hello🥰
Don't mind the gap🤣, the loose skin will shrink. My mom lost about 20 kilo in 3 months, from: 68 to 48 kg, now 52 kg, 157 cm, about 3 years later in diet; slim, normal arm skin, ok muscle, She is 62 yrs nao, Happytimez:)
🙌🤙
Take a potassium supplement when you're cold. It's temporary.
Periods are part of being a woman it's not weird to talk about it. I appreciate you for mentioning it.
yeah normalise it
My thoughts exactly
Ummm, so HAPPY I’m done with all that!!! 35 years of monthly misery
Love it have all 3 bony butt, wobbly bits and lose skin. What I don't have any more is diabetes, high blood pressure, gerd, fibromyalgia and IBS. I'll take all the good with the bad to be healthy.
👏👏👏👏👏
Wow you lost diabetes? I so would love that
awesome, i too healed myself of fibro, and chronic fatigue, & pre diabetes !! & got off 2 stomach pills & 1 for bowels too. & high bld pressure meds.. I feel 50 , not 68 !!
You took the words right outta my mouth Pam. 😀
Patty2MAD regained health and mobility congrats!!
After losing 130lbs, I would still turn sideways to go through my door at work even though I no longer needed to. I never knew there was a phrase for it. It took about 3 years before I no longer did that. You're doing a great job. Keep it up! 👏
I went through a huge weight loss while also job hunting many years ago. My friend told me to go to the Goodwill in the Ritzy part of town. Found pants and suit jackets that only fit for 2 weeks but they got me through those 2 weeks (and several interviews) and were maybe $3 each? And when they were too big, I donated them. :)
S Lynne thrift stores are the best place to buy more disposable clothing items. I only like to buy clothes from normal stores if they are more of an investment piece.
I did the same thing. I recommend buying cheap or thrift stores clothes in process of weightloss
My kinesthetic awareness was off for a couple of years after I released 120 lbs back to the Universe. Where I would sit, how far from a table, etc. - I was so screwed up for a while. However, I've maintained my weight release for 8 years now, and I know I'll never go back. Now, I know where I'm at in the world again, and I trust myself that I'll honor my healthy body by taking excellent care of myself.
“Weight release” “back to the universe”... I love this way of looking at it. I’m going to have to think that over some more! ❤️
Period was not TMI, thanks for sharing. Here’s my share: Losing weight and being at/close to goal weight always regulates my period. Being overweight was what made me irregular.
just going into menopause hehe its a rollercoaster!
Me too.
When I was overweight at the age of 23, everyone thought I was older. Now that I’m 44 after losing 70 Pounds, people think I’m younger.
Jessica, the next time someone says they don't recognize you, just say thank you! I do that, it stops people for a second and then they smile! I love your videos. You are inspiring people young and old!
women are allowed to talk about their periods. not TMI just your experience. and it's okay for women to talk about it. thanks for sharing you two.
It needs to be ok that we talk about periods. A week out of every month for half the population and women are still feeling shameful and apologetic just talking about it
Ginger has shown to be fantastic for all things menses related. I cannot know I'm not female. Dr. Greger has several videos on it.
i will tell you what my weight loss surgeon told me ( 4 years ago , pre WFPB eating ) you need to be at a stable weight , as in not losing anymore, for at least 18 months to really KNOW how your skin will react, said people tended rush into skin repair / removal post weight loss...so much comes into play genetics, healthy diet 😁, hydration levels etc...
thanks for all you share, you guys are a big inspiration, i dont have a lot of weight left to lose but i do have some health issues that have massively improved from applying what I have learned from you...and hubby has even joined me in this new way of eating! he really enjoys your videos too 💜

Where at in Vietnam? How is it over there right now? We were moving to Da Nang but it got delayed due to everything going on.
Its amazing how different your faces look now.
Slender, long necks; the hollow at bottom of their throats, soon their collar bones will be comming out of hiding, etc....loving it
#7 - ABSOLUTELY!!! I lost my weight (80 lb.) maybe 20 years ago and I still don't cut between parked cars because I don't trust my judgement as to whether I will fit or not.
Jessica, your jawline and skin look beautiful.
Yeah, she is looking pretty great! 😍
I lost 125 lb and the weirdest thing happened my whole life it was hard to fit into a booth and I would worry if I was going to get stuck and things like that and then it was weird one day after I lost the weight my mind was still telling me I was squeezed in the booth but then I looked down and there was space it was just a weird Awakening
The same with public bathroom stahls!
So cute how Jessica got all gitty talking about Brian picking her up!☺
My number one "Bad" thing about losing a lot of weight is social events that involve food. I either decline a lot of invitations, eat before I go, go hungry while everyone else eats, or bring my own food.
That's my big one too. My family gets offended when I bring my own food
I feel compelled to mention that I believe in what you guys stand for so much. You are so real and transparent. Those of us struggling need to see that. You both have such a healthy glow from within. Thanks for sharing your journey, it takes a lot of courage to share such personal experiences.
We really need more people like both of you in this world!
Amen to that!
In France, people eat home made vegetable soups for dinner when they need to cut food amounts back.
I deal with the kinesthetic awareness. I've always played disc golf and after dropping 100lbs I had to re-learn my form since no longer having to compensate for "the belly". Overall I play way better, but remember it was a struggle I never really expected. Keep up the good vids guys!
I love when Jessica is more assertive. Way to go, girl. You two are too cute. ♡

"The family that farts together, stays together "😂😂😂Jessica, you should sew that on a pillow!
And then use it to sit on
Re: People feeling awkward about your weight loss -- I visited a restaurant where the proprietor knows me by name. I hadn't been there in a year or so. She said, "You've lost weight!" then paused, and "Are you sick?"
I laughed, and said, 'Yeah, sick of being fat!"
Great witty reply :D
Honestly people that were really big and lose a lot of weight, look quite sickly, in my opinion, if I am honest. I don’t think people are trying to be mean.
MSM reviews honestly I think it depends on if they did it in a healthy way or not.
@@msmreviews8408 just because someone isn't trying to be mean, they often still are.
It is a lovely compliment when someone says they don't recognize you!!! Cheers
Great video guys! I'm on the maintain end of my weight loss journey and have encountered most of these myself. I was 380 at my highest and now am at 180 over the course of 10 years. 1.

Hey on the bright side the phantom body mass will help with being aware of social distancing
Good to know your health is important and loose skin is just reflection of past. No biggie health is much more important. Koodo’s to you both!
Why TMI? Lol. 😁. It is part of the whole “Ten Bad” right? It is actually valuable info. I think it is the best video so far. 👍🌱.
Love it! Just think of the programming we have endured through movies, tv, advertising, etc. We have been taught to focus on appearances in every aspect of our lives. Happiness is letting the soul light shine!! Shine on! Thanks so much!
So cool about how you have accepted the “bad “ things. Very very healthy ATTITUDE 👍👍👍🥰🥰🥰🥰👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I had that experience with my body and space after having two hip surgeries and two back surgeries. I turned up about two inches shorter. So when I walked my body was closer to the ground! Took a few years to get used to it! It was so weird to feel my head was closer to the ground! Hard to explain!
Wow!! That would take some getting used to I'm sure!
I had one pair of sunglasses that affected my vision in a way that made me feel much closer to the ground. Weird!!! I actually had trouble walking while wearing those.
I’ve shrunk over the years. I lost 1.5 inches in height, and I agree t does feel weird, but I noice it most when I’m standing, I feel like I’m standing in a hole.
100% agree on the clothes! You hit it! I handle it by buying just one pair of pants and a couple of shirts to get me through to the next stage of weight loss.
You worked hard for that loose skin and wobbly bits, embrace it!!!!
I lost 100 pounds over six years ( first fourty over 5 yrs w/o trying and the last 60 in a year) and I’ve had alllll of these and I was only 235 at my heaviest!
Feeling the cold may be a negative now. Can you imagine what it will be like when summer really hits, it will be amazing. As you have lost weight have you noticed summer becomes more bearable?
Thank you for being real! Love your candidness and love watching your progress!
Thanks Jennifer!
Cold all the time? Get more iodine in your diet. More seaweeds and you can even take some tablets made of seaweed. I have been cold all my life, but it all turned around when I had supplemented with iodine for about 3 months.
Malene Jensen I never heard of this. Wow, thanks. I’m going to check this out!
Organic kelp sourcing
And gave your thyroid checked ASAP.
I love eating seaweed anyway :)
Y’all aren’t kidding about the gas!!! I thought I was having a heart attack and had to go to the ER. My mom and husband call that episode cardiac gas. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
For me the weirdest "bad" thing was that it hurt to sit for a long time since I had less padding on my butt and hips. And I was 160lbs at my thinnest (I'm 5'9"), I don't understand how really skinny people can have a sit down job and not be in agony.
I'm skinny and it doesn't hurt a bit to sit. If I were to have the same skinny butt and one hundred pounds of upper body fat then it probably would. Being skinny makes more space and easier to move around.
It hurts me BUT I think gaining muscle in that area should help out, and standing up more in general. (I'll be trying my theory)
I've always had that problem. Even now at my heaviest haha.
You guys are so amazing. What an inspiration you are. So down to earth and just plain real. Thank you for addressing loose skin and imperfections concerning our bodies... Love and appreciate you both so much! 😘😇🙏. You are so right, in the end it's worth it all!!! From the ❤️ Vicki in Virginia
re: being cold (I live in Minnesota, so I know cold): I have discovered that 5 minutes of gentle yoga really, really warms me up.
I thought at first, how will you guys come up with 10 things?.. But I was impressed with each thing. Cause I can relate for sure.
Oh my gosh the cold thing! I've lost weight and my husband hasn't, so hard to compromise on the house temperature and how many blankets to have on the bed! Hi from NZ!
Hi Jess - I'm from Dunedin, where are you from? Maybe we can encourage each other in our weight loss journeys? Robyn
I'm from NZ too and I'm feeling the cold pretty bad this year.
Gosh, are we all NZers here?? Me too!
Oh oh...time for seperate rooms lol
-"new"clothes: get hand-me-downs from family/friends, or thrift when you can or alter the size of the stuff you already have (tutorials online for it).
-hormonal/periods: I've lost my period for a good length of time twice in my "diet" journey.
First time was on a high carb, low fat diet without calorie restriction, second time was on a lower carb, higher fat diet with calorie restriction.
Neither of those diets really work for me when it comes to well being.
In the first diet it was the low fat that was the culprit, in the second one it was the calorie restriction that was the culprit.
I don't do those things and now things are great.
-bony butt: I've always had this. The solution is thick bouncy sturdy pillows.
My husband and I started eating WFPB and SOS free almost 6 months ago. We are in our 70’s and have both lost weight easily and steadily. We have experienced some of these negatives, but the positives are life saving. My husband has Afib and his cardiologist has taken him off of 4 heart meds this week. He, the doctor, kept asking us, well what do you eat and where do you get your protein. I was laughing inside. Doctors are just not all trained in nutrition. Both of us are off of all cholesterol and blood pressure meds, and the energy we have both gained is so wonderful. My husband doesn’t exercise at all and I walk 3 and a half miles 6 days a week, so if you can’t exercise this works anyway. I only wish I had known about the health advantages to this years ago. Never too late to start though.
Soak your beans and grains 12-24 hours and rinse well, before cooking and you will virtually eliminate gas
True! I soak beans for 12 hours, then crock pot them on low.for 8-10 hours in fresh water. Little to no gas.
Kinesthetic Awareness while rapidly gaining weight was so strange! I bumped into everything and would frequently hit myself in the face with things
You both look great!
11:20 Wow, Brian, you can one arm Jessica 😃 Wish my hubby could. That must be really nice Jessica x Love you guys. Thanks for sharing the top 10. You've both encouraged me to get back to losing weight x
You both look so happy today! Love your videos. 🤗
You guys are so cute! Thank you so much for sharing everything you do. Keep the videos coming. Enjoy Life 🌺
Thank you for joining us :)
I started watching you a couple of months ago, so now I’m going back to your old videos. I really enjoy them. You are genuine people and I wish you the best. And Jessica, I pray that your life is long and healthy. ❤️
I love your honesty, and glad you're enjoying being healthier!
Thanks guys , that was soooo good!
I so relate to being cold and chilly.
Bless you both.
Pam Tasmania
Always love you keeping it real! Feel like I'm sitting across the kitchen island from you. Thanks for talking about these things so the rest of us don't think we're weird. My husband loses a few pounds and he is cold all the time. I was kinda thinking it might all be in his head but now I know better thanks to you!
It would be so awesome to see you guys reach your goals and then start exercising. It's like your channel is literally growing/ changing with you.
I also relate to the kinesthetic thing because I have nerve damage on my right side. I hit my right side into doorways and stuff a lot! Thank you both for being so inspirational and helpful for those on the health and helping animals path.
5:45 ha ha ha ha ha. innocent eye batting "no comment"
You two are the BEST!! Thanks for all the great, inspiring content.
You're so right on the negative side of weight loss. It's funny but very true, however I'll take the loose skin instead of the excess weight. Being cold oh my goodness, yes I never feel warm enough in the winter.
This was very interesting...I started with you guys over a year ago but Ive been ill and have lost more weight than I should.
Ive thought it was my illness that caused me to be cold all the time, the clothes, weakness, balance and loose skin.
The awkward conversations. Lol yea I’m the queen of avoiding them. Or just like you said “reintroducing” myself again. 🤓🤓🤪🤪
So true, I can relate to getting used to spacial awareness. I was 440lbs at my heaviest and it really took me by surprise and it felt just weird at times.. I'm 260lbs at the moment and look forward to losing the last 60lbs 👍 😊 great video guys 👍
Do you ever feel awkward around somebody you hadn't seen for a while who used to be as overweight as you and now it's really weird that you're thin
Kimber E that is a great question!!
Why should he bother about that? Shouldn’t be his business. But goes regularly on his day. Unless the other guy mention something, then when offer of info as help flow come.
Kimber E I have so shocked twice to see someone who I did not know was losing weight that I was shy and almost speechless. Now that I’m older I’m not so shy I think I would give them compliments and ask them about it if they felt like talking about it.
Kimber E - No, not awkward really, but I felt really smug and self satisfied once. I have a sister in law who said to my husband once 20 years ago "you like the big ones huh". Fast forward 20 years later I'm now normal weight and she is huge. I wanted to rub it in her face but swallowed my tongue and was civil. But boy oh boy I sure felt like saying neener neener.
I like the flowers in the background. Peef-onys?
Are cushions for your kitchen stools an option?
Peef-onys! I LOVE IT! 😍😍😍
Great for you!! I also think it is wonderful that you have done it together. Thank you for saying the stuff about loose skin....honestly that has been scary to me in the past. Now that I'm in my 50s, I understand that it is more about health than being bikini thin. Your insight has been inspiring!
I get cold too, but I look at it in a positive way. I’m burning more calories trying to stay warm!
You both look awesome. Great video!
11:14 - hahaha Jessica swooning over Brian's strength 😆
You both look fantastic! Congratulations on you journey: Very inspiring!
I'm glad you mentioned beng cold, I lost over 50 pnds. and I was always cold and did'nt understand because I never used to be cold, thanks!
Thank you Jessica and Brian, for being so honest about these things. It make it more natural to have these “luxury problems”. About the farting, after being plant-based for about 8 years now, we have noticed that we only fart when adding sweet stuff down on top of beans, raw veggies etc. too early after eating. My husband is a sweets person whereas I have never been into sweet stuff and I almost never fart. We made some tests and found that eating something sweet within two hours of eating “farty products”, you get gas. It is like the sweetener starts a fermenting process in your stomach. If you wait a bit, the sugar does not start fermenting and you don’t fart as much. So now, we try to save the “sweet dessert” for later instead of right after dinner.
We love your videos and admire your will power and then you have humour ... without humour life is boring! Love you guys 😘🤗
I have found that too!
Fruit on top of other foods also created awful gas.
That's interesting, thanks. I will give that a try.
@@Equinox1.5 This is true. And always only eat juicy fruit on an empty stomach (bannanas are not a juicy fruit, they are a condensed fruit). This works best if eaten in the morning for the first meal of the day, and give it at least 1/2 hr before you eat anything else in order to give your stomach enough time to digest the fruit, before eating anything that isn't a juicy fruit, as your stomach will be empty then.
@@brenda9140 Exactly. I only eat juicy fruit on an empty stomach, otherwise I'm in trouble. Bananas are different for me. I can usually eat those after meals because they are more starchy than watery and don't seem to ferment in the same way as, say, a peach.
Appreciate your candor and I agree, don't think anyone should pressure people about their physical self. Congratulations on becoming so healthy - hate to say this but wait till your 70, a whole lot of things start falling and wobbling, :)
OMG I love Brian's sassiness
My boney butt issue is my tail bone. I lost my weight a couple of years ago and I still have tailbone pain even after building up my butt muscles. So much so that I am on medication. I recommend the egg sitter silicone pad. It is my favorite. I have one at work and one at home, and I used to have one in the car too.
I am relieved that I am not the only one not sure what to do about my clothing. After watching this I decided to go ahead and order another pair of capris in a smaller size. :)
I love that you were honest about "the gas".
Hi Jessica!!! Love the buying clothes issue... I have a closet with a wide range of sizes...what I need to do it get rid of the larger sizes as I get smaller so I don't feel the temptation to use them ever again!!
This was not only interesting, but very reassuring. Great video!
I've read that using a dry brush daily before a shower helps with firming up loose skin. Thanks for being truly transparent about the ups and downs of saving your lives. Love you guys so much! Keep on banging out the videos, we love them!
At my house we call our arm bits...bingo wings. If people don't want to see them, too bad. If I'm hot I want my arms free and cool. Congrats on your transformation.
I was watching your potato diet and saw this underneath it and was sooooo shocked at the difference. You guys are amazing a massive well done to you both!!
Yes I get what ya mean by physical depth perception Brian. When after losing weight it was easier to glide through passageways, now after putting on some of the weight the passageways are tighter and I have hit my shoulder walking through them. But I am losing weight again so really, "Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels" and I'm losing weight again and feeling good.
What a great topic - so many things that people want to know or didn’t know they would change (I am cold all the time. Seriously my temperature is like 97.6 these days lol). Keep up the good work guys!
I was always sick when I ate (over ate) and in 2 years I lost 75 pounds and now am so surprised how much better I feel. Becoming vegan helped alot with increasing weight loss and of course eating no sugar in any way shape or Form for 2 years
So many relatable things in this episode! I once lost 30 lbs and was running. Best health and shape I had been in and a few people asked if I had cancer! They were used to seeing me heavier. Also, I experienced the kinesthetic issue when I was pregnant. I was always misjudging how big I was and would get stuck a lot... Keep up the great work.
Jessica, You should totally get your hair colored and updated. I think you would feel so much better after doing it, think of it as a reward for losing all the weight. I dyed the gray out of my hair and purchased brighter color shirts after losing 40 pounds. Dark colors are a go to for fat people.
I have lost 70 pounds doing a plant base diet starting 4/1/19. Your channel was one of the inspirations for my success. For anyone thinking of switching over to plant base, this is my top things to do.
1. Watch the movie "what the health".
2. Buy an air fryer.
3. Watch the many CZcams channels for cooking using the air fryer and eating plant base.
4. Costco's is my "go to" for plant base foods.
Key note from my experience, once you make three weeks of only eating plant base after transitioning you will feel so much better. After a two months of eating right, my blood pressure dropped down to normal and I got off my blood pressure medication. I was still fat but my blood pressure dropped to normal. I'm still losing weight, I weighted 280 pounds today. I cannot wait until i'm in the 270's's then the 260"s, it's slower now but still happening.
I just went to Goodwill to buy stop-gap sized clothes when I was losing weight.
Jessica - who is that slender man to your left?
Peef???? 😂
@@KrocksInTheKitchen Big hugs to you and your lovely wife, Brian - you guys are thee best!
I love you two kids!! You both make the world more beautiful!!
first time watching these two. i laughed so hard when he did the eye fluttering thing when she mentioned him not noticing her PMT mood swings!!!! lolo
😂😂😂
this is one of your most charming videos...i have all these issues and its so great to hear you guys talk about them in such a lighthearted way...
I’m praying my period will become regular by losing weight 😓 pcos is the devil. Thank you for talking about that and not being bashful, it’s something so so so many women refuse to talk about and it leaves us non-regular girls feeling alone. ❤️
Dr Neil Barnard just wrote a book about hormones and PCOS. Maybe check it out? :) ❤️he was on the rich roll podcast, you can listen to that for free! Also on nutrition facts.org there are a few videos on the topic!
sagavigre thank you, I will have to check it out!
@@baseemabaseema1415 Yay! Hope they can help. Such important subject to talk about.Wish you all the best
I just love you guys SO much!!!!! Y’all are like my CZcams BFF’s! 🥰
Wow I was trying to explain that kinestetic 'thing' to a friend and he looked at me like I was losing my mind. I'm glad it's something that exists. Thanks...I'll try the walking backwards method...hhm (btw, I lost 20 pounds and I can't see the difference at all in my reflection only on my clothes size).
In the past year, I have lost 60 lb switching to WFPB and had lost about 25 over the two years prior to that. You guys were the main inspiration to make me switch and stick to a healthy lifestyle. I have experienced just about all of these except loss of muscle. I did add exercise after the first 3 months of switching to WFPB. At first, I thought I wouldn't worry about the loose skin, but the excess skin on my stomach actually pulls on other areas when I cough or sneeze causing pain. I may have to consider skin removal surgery even though I don't want to go under the knife. Also, being cold all the time is so annoying! I used to be the one freezing everyone out of my office and home. Now they are all freezing me out!!
On another note, a suggested video came up for me call "Krocks in the Kitchen Inspired Us to Come Back to CZcams" by a channel called Cuban Vegan Life. Apparently they attempted a vegan lifestyle a couple of years ago but didn't stick to it. They are now trying again. Maybe you guys and some of us followers could go over and support them!
