I think Jessica was right when she started to call loose skin a badge of honor. When I start to feel like my fat decade didn't really happen and I didn't really lose 40 lbs in 6 months, I look in the mirror and raise my shirt to look at my sagging belly. It actually makes me proud, because it means that I really, truly did lose the weight, drop my cholesterol, and regain control of my life.

About Brian's chair and not having a weight loss goal: You've learned two things way early in your life that are indispensable. 1. Comfort is key. 2. Life is not a race. Merry Christmas Krocks, you rock!

I noticed that Garam Masala, Chili and Turmeric are favourite ingredients. Have you ever thought of making a dal? It is so easy, once you get the recipe right, you can keep the base as a sauce and just add your veggies to it.... and it's a lovely, flavour-filled, winter warmer.

For those who don't love salad: In the winter especially, I'm not a huge salad fan. Instead I roast veggies, no oil or salt, on parchment paper. My favorite is frozen Brussels sprouts, chopped and mixed with chopped Butternut squash and Pink Lady apples , about 45 minutes at 420F in the oven. Veggie soup is another great option instead of salad.

I applaud both of you for your courage, and the success that came with your willingness to change over to a WFPB. I have been struggling to do this without my husband's support, and comments from him, like "is THAT what you're eating", or "I'm going to enjoy my burger and fries", etc. I know he doesn't do it to be hurtful. But switching over to WFPB, I really needed a support buddy. I appreciate that he no longer tries to get me to not eat this way. Watching KZfaqrs that have switched over really gives me motivation to keep going. I recently stumbled across Plantiful Kiki, and for whatever reason - what I'd been doing, along with trying her way of doing it, I had a light bulb moment. I realized I needed to reduce or eliminate nuts, avocados and breads. My weight loss had stalled. She also pointed out something Chef AJ recommended, but I was reluctant to do at first. And that was to eat steamed veggies before breakfast, and for lunch and dinner to just portion my plate with 1/2 non-starchy veggies and the other half with potatoes of choice. So I tried that. And I could not believe the results. The weight just started melting off. It was freaking unreal. I'm so happy all of you have the courage to bare your lives in front on all of us - putting yourself out there for comments, criticism, praise, what have you. TEN THUMBS UP TO YOU BOTH. (Uh, you get the picture.) Love you guys!!!!!!

I got tired of the salad thing. My best dressing has been a freshly squeezed orange with the orange meat cut up and put into the salad. It was good but , one day, I just got tired of cutting it all up and chewing it all up, and as I was making my one dish meal, I just dumped the salad into the meal, and it was wonderful. From then on (usually) I included everything I was putting in salad, into the meal. Makes it very interesting. Love you guys and I'm so happy for your success. Inspiring.

I’ve recently this year stopped eating meat,sweets, and stopped with the diet root beer and I no longer diet or want to anymore. I got down to 152-153 this summer after losing 20lbs and I finally put the scale up. I’m really happy with how I look and feel, but I’m no longer enjoying food anymore. I eat to just eat because I know I need to. Maybe it’s because I’m starting peri menopause and my body is going through so many changes idk. Anyone struggling with food cravings for me I had to cut cold turkey on sweets that was my food addiction and once I made my mind up I just stopped eating it. I have loose skin on my stomach from having children and I’m finally as of this year ok with it. I love my body now and I feel great for once in my life. Thank you guys so much for making your channel and just being you!!!💜 Hope you 2 have a Merry Christmas 🎄🎁

My husband is still Omni and refuses to give up meat (we're from TX where we bbq almost every weekend). Our kids and I went vegan/ vegetarian 2 years ago and I told my husband when we transitioned that I would no longer buy or prepare meat for him and that he would have to make it for himself if he wants it.. It was hard at first bc cooking for him has always been one of the ways I express my love (and when he's away for work he would always tell me how much he missed my cooking). But it's actually been a positive thing too bc he consumes much less meat now that I am not cooking it. He sometimes won't feel like cooking or will forget to buy it so he will eat our vegan foods and maybe add cheese.. there's only a couple things he won't eat which are tofu and most fake meats bc he only wants the real thing lol. It sucks that he doesn't ask me to cook anymore but it has also got him cooking more (besides just meat).. he loves making homemade pizza dough and cinnamon rolls from scratch and will make them vegan so we can all eat them. He bought his own fridge for his meat/dairy items and takes up most of the space in our deep freezer. I am sure he was disappointed in our lifestyle change at first bc of all the unhealthy Mexican food and breakfasts I used to make him but he doesn't judge us and we are all much healthier bc of it.. I just make veganized versions of our favorite dishes and we'r east lots of oatmeal and smoothies. :)
