If you are new here - welcome! We are the Krocks, a couple who started out at 800 pounds combined in June 2018. We switched to a whole food plant-based diet, and over the past 15 months, together we have lost nearly 300 pounds.
We just celebrated our 8th wedding anniversary on November 5, 2019 and we thought it would be a great time to reflect on our relationship and discuss how weight loss has impacted our marriage. Check out the video to hear us discuss this and more!

👍🏻 Happy Anniversary! My advice for someone doing it alone is education. Whatever direction is most interesting. Nutrition, health, cultural background of foods, etc. when I started learning more about how animals are treated and what industrial farming is doing to the planet 🌎 I am motivated. My husband loves the food, but I do it all. Then I have to remember it is not just about me. It’s about everything really!

I'm doing this adventure alone while still feeding my son and husband an Omni menu. For breakfast, I also eat the berries from the what you eat in a day video. Some days my son eats that with me, other days I cook him a separate breakfast. For lunches I batch prep oven roasted veggies and eat them as a wrap with your oil-free hummus. For dinner I try to make compliant recipes for me that go along with what they're eating. When they have spaghetti, I have zoodles with marinara. On Taco Tuesdays, I make jackfruit tacos for me. This helps to still eat our meals as a family. It's nice that y'all have each other, but it's absolutely possible to do it while still feeding the rest of your family a standard diet. You have to make a commitment to your self and just stick with it. It's important too to remember no one is perfect. We all have slips and setbacks. That's ok too. You just have to pick yourself back up.

At first I was getting angry at my husband. We fight for the first time in 22 years but I decided I have to stop telling him how to eat. He has to want it for himself. So I stopped nagging. Im focusing on me and little by little as I find new foods he is eating what Im eating. Btw I want to thank you guys for helping me stay on track for 3 months. Today I found out my cholesterol is down 80 points after a primary and cardiologist told me it the genetic kind and I wont be able to do it with diet.

I tried to do it a couple of times when my son lived at home and it was impossible. He moved to college and it's been a snap. I think that radical shift in my life made a huge difference. It was so much easier not to have the influence and the food that my son was eating. I did not have the discipline to not eat what was right in front of me. But I really think the lifestyle change also was key. My son has autism and I had to schedule therapy, etc for him, and that all stopped when he left. You'd think having all that free time would make things worse, but I had lots of time to cook so it worked out. I've lost 39 lbs since 9/1.

I'm doing my weight loss by myself, feeding my hubby and 6 homeschooled kids. I'm not wfpb, just calorie counting, so it's really just me controlling my portions. I'm doing it this way specifically because I want to eat with the family. Down 32lbs today and I tried on my wedding ring as I was watching this because I also couldn't bring myself to have it sized up. It finally fit!!!! 😍😍😍 Love watching your videos and your "adventure." I feel like mine isn't exciting, just have to be faithful every day and things happen gradually. 😊

I live by myself and have found my biggest challenge to be eating for reasons other than hunger. I love the taste of food and eat for many reasons. I love the acronym HALT - are you Hungry, Angry, Lonely, or Tired? I would add upset or bored to that list. I find it helps to be aware of my mood when I reach for food and to journal. And to watch inspiring content like Krocks! Also hiking. It is hard to eat crappy food when you are out hiking in a hilly forest! And bonus, it feels good and sweaty and right. Just my thoughts.💜

You guys are adorable, happy anniversary! I had the same thing going on with my wedding and engagement ring- there was an entry error when my husband ordered my engagement ring so it had to be resized before I even got it. They had told me a ring could be resized twice before it would have to be totally rebuilt. So I didn't want to resize it after I gained weight and just went without the last 3 years. Just recently, I fit into my engagement ring again. It's certainly my favorite non-scale victory yet!

I am doing this alone. Luckily I don't have anyone in my life offering support nor trying to sabotage. I've been doing it for 6 months. I do not have it totally figured out. I don't always stick to the diet. For me the best thing is to keep watching these videos to keep my mind focussed on this goal. I'm feeling better too, which helps.

I call myself a "half assed vegan." What I mean is that if I get a craving for Salmon or dairy I eat some. Maybe some day I will be more of a true vegan. So far I've lost a lot of weight and feel great. I try to focus on what I've accomplished rather than the few times I veer from a whole food plant based diet.

I'm one of the WFPB people who does this lifestyle as a single person in our marriage. I had to take this action for myself to improve myself, as a resultI lost 132 pounds. And it's still hard some days to stick with it BUT I realized I was the only one who could do it, as in noneone could do it for ne. I do have good accountability with my bestie but as far as my family is concerned, I'm accepted with the family as "different". Basically forced myself to be as important as everyone I was taking care of too. And now that my kids are grown I've got too much skin in the game to back to the way I was. Great video guys, you make a wonderful compliment to each other and great team effort. That's what marriage is all about. Letting love fill in the gaps in between.

I ave been vegan for 2 years and instead of lising weight like i heard i put on weight and back up to my heaviest. I started wfpb almost 5 weeks ago and i am losing weight now. As i try new recipes and cook for myself my 2 teenagers (also vegan) want to try what i am having. They are both eating much better than they used to and my son tells me he is lising weight too. My daughter is super fussy with food but even she likes a lot of whay i am eating. My husband on the other hand is resistant but here at home i only give him good food. Wven though i started wfpb on my own i have loved how easy it is to prepare meals. I find it easier than before which to me is a win win situation. You guys were one of the first chanels i found and yoy akso showed how easy a wfpb diet was. Thank you for your chanel.

The "better or for worse" is one scary vow as one does not know how bad it can get. My husband and I have this year celebrated 44 years of married life. It's been tough and weight issues involved there too. We finally did some weight loss together. We are both down 55 lbs. and he's come along rather kicking and screaming even though he has realized it's likely have saved his life. I'd like it if he'd investigate how to make what we are doing better. It has put so much on my shoulders and it just is exhausting at times for me. Right now I have a major migraine, we ate Chinese food and I think there was a ton of MSG in it. I am very dedicated to plant-based but if I am not in the room or we are out at a restaurant, my husband is a chameleon. He has high blood pressure and we are going to get chewed out because he has been so off-track with it. He really does not understand how important something like BP can be. So that is on my shoulders. It is hard when someone you love doesn't love themselves enough to want to not become a burden either to you or your children together. I am not the most unselfish person on the planet but I am fairly altruistic. I think with my worst migraine yet, I am not quitting, but hope the doctor has some good input tomorrow. My husband is one who needs meds because he will not stop all the margarine, now he is drinking Smirnoff coolers too. He just needs a pill to fix everything. I watched my parents both getting dementia taking the pills which make up for a total lack of self-discipline. I just feel hopeless with him, but I love him. He can do such wonderful things at times also. I don't want to be alone. I want him to not just live but thrive. I'd like to spend some of our retirement enjoying our lives and not spend it with orthopedic issues because we don't care enough about ourselves or the other to stop being a burden. Sorry, if I sound less than optimistic. I do love watching your show, I love the look of Brian's eyes when he looks at Jessica. I really wonder how that would feel if my husband could see me like that instead of the TV.

I'm in the same boat. It's so hard watching your partner not care about their health, and also wondering how my retirement will be? Pushing my husband in a wheelchair and not living my true life, or travelling the world alone cuz he can't keep up? Do not take all that burden on yourself and let it sabotage your health. You can only do so much then you just do you and hope he sees how awesome you're being and your new health will shine through. I really wish my husband was on board with this lifestyle too, but that's not the card i'm dealt with right now :( I admire everyone who is on the journey with their partner. Good luck to you.

You can only do for yourself. Nobody could have done it for you no matter how much they love or care for you. Keep on doing what is right for you and he will see the change. Ensure that he sees you embracing it and not cheating and you will earn his respect. No more Chinese I'm sure they're cooking it in oil which I know there are vegan oils but if you're eating for health and not for namesake it will change the way you eat and you won't let him take you to eat Chinese. I mean that in the nicest way possible. Eating food that is not prepared at home should only be in emergencies otherwise we should prepare 100% of our food that we eat and that is definitely more strict than most people are willing to attempt, but if you're eating for health it's the only way to guarantee the ingredients

I'm the only plant based/vegan one in the house, and my hubby is a huge meat eater, and not a fan of anything healthy. He sometimes eats what I make, but then adds meat or cheese or etc...But honestly I'd say it's very hard when doing it alone - but it's not a deal breaker. I have to do it for myself. So I make it work, as there isn't an alternative. I want this lifestyle, so I'm making it happen regardless how hard it is. I try to chat with him to say that yes, it's his body, he can do whatever he wants, however, at the same time, me as his wife will be the one who's taking care of him when he's old and ill and doesn't have the quality of life he should be having. So in that sense, I feel like it's my duty as his wife to keep him healthy, which is not happening :( So my suggestion to the ones doing it alone - yes, it's harder, however, you got this and you can do it, with planning and time. Make sure you have some easy to make meals ready when your partner comes home with fried chicken and greasy french fries or cupcakes, etc. you have to have a suitable replacement for you that is your 'go to'. Plus, reach out online, there's tons of resources. Even a facebook group called "vegans with non vegan partners' is a great start. I've been vegan almost 2 years, and can say it definitely gets easier over time navigating in a non vegan house :)

LiveLifeLori I live with a husband much like yours in terms of eating habits. He eats what I make, but I have to admit a lot of the recipes I try online (not the Krocks!) just turn out terrible and even I don’t like them. I don’t cook him meat as often as I told him I would because it’s just too much planning that I fail to do. He gets his meat and eggs out a lot which is even unhealthier. You mentioned having healthy things around to choose from when he brings home cookies and cupcakes, etc. that is where I am failing a lot. Will take this tip seriously now. I personally think it would be easier being alone than being with someone who constantly sabotages me. (I do love my husband even tho it sounds differently right now). Thx for letting me know I’m not alone and just need to double down and plan harder.

@@sallyjono I agree it would be easier alone, or with someone who's on board. I went vegan only 6 months after our wedding so it's been hard for him. I'll admit he does eat more plant based meals than before I went vegan. I've decided not to cook his meat anymore, so I try to have a plant based meal ready for him when he comes home from work (i don't cook every day though), but that way i give him the option, eat this delicious plant based meal that's all ready to be eaten, or spend the time making your own, meat laddened meal. He;s been picking my option a bit more lately out of laziness :) But of course he still bbq's his own meat and adds meat to the meal i make sometimes...but whatever. It's frustrating but I do feel like it's getting better,...very slowly though...Good luck with your situation :)

@@sallyjono oh, and I have a vegan you tube channel, with vegan recipes, that appeal to non vegans more (ie there's oil in some, vegan cheeses, etc) My hubby will not eat a 100% plant based clean meal, like with no oil, etc so if you want to check out some of my recipes, always good to have a variety of omni approved vegan recipes ;)

LiveLifeLori I’ll definitely check it out. I’ve been vegan for 14 mos now after being married 22 yrs (what a change for hubby!). Thought it would lower my BP and cholesterol levels, but it hasn’t. Do you think it could have anything to do with the fact that I have my chocolate squares daily and meals out with hubby with cheese and oils?! LOL, I think so. So I am being more strict with these foods now. After all, I want some health benefits from this way of life. I can never go back now though. I have even more empathy for our animals. I just found the Krocks website and recipes are listed there, making it even easier for me to go thru!

Well, cholesterol only comes from eating animals. The cholesterol our body makes naturally is not the one that increases our cholesterol numbers. Give it time, as long as the chocolate doesn't have dairy, and you're not eating any animal products, your cholesterol numbers should come down. Yeah the Krocks has amazing recipes, love their hummus, but I just know i'm kinda caught in the middle, make a vegan (not plant based), meal for hubby and teenager with vegan cheese, vegan meat replacements, oil, etc, and they'll eat it usually, but I'd rather go plant based as I don't care for mock meats and just eat vegan cheese ocassionally, but if i make something 'too healthy' - the hubby and teen will not eat it, so I have to chose either make a salad for myself, and then they'll eat nuggets or grilled cheese or hamburgers (something unhealthy) or i meet in the middle and make some vegan cheese latered casserole dish and have a small scoop and eat a big salad for myself. Not the best scenerio I'd like to see, but for now, guess it's working. I asked my hubby which vegan meals that i make that he loves so i can make it more often...he picks scalloped potatoes, macaraoni and cheese and hasbrown cheese breakfast caserole....so really none of the healthy dishes i make :( Although they're cholesterol free, that's the only positive (plus no animals were harmed for those meals) :)

How can anyone possibly not love you two?!? This is such an honest and inspiring video. Thank you for sharing your challenges, successes, and ideas. I have watched each video more than once, and I get inspired every time. I am a widow and I nanny for a precious family( three children 💕) who invited me to live with them a year ago. It’s fantastic being here. We all get along beautifully. I have my own quarters and eat plant based. However, I cook for them, and their kitchen and pantry and cupboards are loaded with the traditional SAD food . It’s a struggle...a big one. I can’t totally clean up my environment. I’m not giving up, though!! And I will continue to be your fan and cheerleader! Bless you both, you beautiful people.
