There are things we all know we NEED to change or should work on, but sometimes you just aren’t ready. People ask us a lot about the “last straw” that made us decide to start our weight loss journey (well, Brian likes to call it our weight loss “adventure”). In today’s video, we discuss what inspired us to finally start losing weight. Continue reading
We were out of town and missed the very first St. Louis VegFest in 2018, so we were super excited to check it out this year! The festival is held at the World’s Fair Pavilion in Forest Park and features everything vegan – from food vendors to products, a speaker series and more. It was a busy day for us, so our time at the festival was limited, but we managed to try a bunch of great food and we thought we’d take you along. Continue reading
We have always loved traveling and honestly, when we switched to following a whole food, plant-based diet, I wasn’t sure what travel would look like. Would we have to bring our own food? Would we completely go off the rails and eat whatever we wanted? Well the truth is… a little bit of both. Continue reading
You’ve made it to the third (and final) installment of the road trip travel vlog! In the final video, we explored Atlantic City, Ocean City and Cape May in New Jersey before making the trek back home to St. Louis, MO. Continue reading
As you probably know by now, we went on vacation! We took a nice road trip from our hometown of St. Louis, Missouri to the east coast. If you haven’t seen Part I of our travel vlog, go check it out before you watch this one. In Part II, we head to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania for a bit more history, another market, and a few other stops along the way. Continue reading
Travel has always been a big part of our relationship. We’ve been lucky enough to go on quite a few trips, but this time we planned something a bit different. We set out on a ten day road trip heading towards the east coast from our hometown of St. Louis, Missouri. We decided to take you along! Continue reading
We have both been overweight for as long as we can remember. We were both in the obese category when we started dating… and then we gained even MORE weight. Eventually we realized that we had to do something about it. We spent years attempting various plans for weight loss. Some of them were successful at helping us take off a few pounds here and there, but none of them helped us to maintain our weight loss over the long haul. Continue reading
It’s time for another Q&A! This time we picked some of the most common questions we get asked about our whole food, plant-based weight loss journey. Continue reading
We finally made a “What We Eat In A Day” video for you! This has been one of our most requested videos since we started our YouTube Channel. Brian keeps saying that what we eat in a day is boring, but I know it can be helpful for people to see it all laid out! We really do eat the same stuff we’ve been sharing on our recipe videos, so you’ll see a few familiar things pop up! Continue reading
When we started this journey, our number one goal was to lose weight. I started out at 285 pounds and Brian was 514 pounds, so we both had a TON of weight to lose. We chose our path on a whim after hearing about what Penn Jillette did to lose weight, so we really didn’t know what was in store for us. The other day we were chatting about how things have changed over this past 14 months. It turns out, there are a lot of unexpected things we have experienced as a result of switching to a whole food, plant-based (WFPB) diet, so we thought we’d share! Continue reading
