❣❣❣Congratulations on the less70. Proud of you. You are an inspiration. I'm in the US and do not know Kylie (sp), but please don't count it against me and throw me out. I adore me some Ben and David! ❣❣❣

[@TinaWilliamsArt]

I’ve noticed the weight loss and thought “If he could lose 70 pounds while cruising then I have no excuse” so I’ve been inspired by you without you even saying anything!

[@TinaWilliamsArt]

Well I mean - I didn’t know it was 70lbs but you get my point

[@Santiago-in1xf]

Glad you are making a video about it. I've noticed a couple times but felt weird about commenting about your weight seemingly out of pocket and said nothing. YOU LOOK GREAT.

[@John_Locke_108]

It's like asking your wife if she lost weight.

[@karendeangelis1358]

So smart. Definitely not okay to comment on people's bodies.

[@lturner744]

Lovely video. I am happy for your healthy adjustments.

[@picklesnoutpenobscott3165]

Can I just say? Ben, I am so very proud of you! You look healthier, more vibrant, and incredibly confident. How inspiring you are! And David? Way to be a supportive partner. Well done, gentlemen.

[@kindnessmatters604]

Ben, you've always been adorable. The thing I have noticed most is how much younger you look! You look so good- way to go!!!

[@Lovesapuzzle]

He lost 65 LBs and 10 years.

[@maribelroman]

A small tip on salad dressing: instead of getting it on the side and pouring it on, dip your fork in the dressing before picking up your salad. That way you get flavor in every bite without over indulging. I told you before Ben, but you are looking great!

[@gayleobrien3172]

Well done Ben, wish I'd met you guys whilst in Sydney 🎵👀

[@iGetBored0]

Congratulations! You’ve always looked great but I bet you FEEL better. Which is priceless 🎉

[@LogicalVelocity]

Congrats Ben! I've lost 120 lbs and feel like a new person as I've pretty much lost a whole person worth of weight. It's hard, but oh so worth it!

[@mommynab]

@29:21 glad you ate some bread. Don't deprive yourself of everything, it can lead to binging later.

[@revlazarzsolt]

I really enjoyed your video, especially the part where you showed how significant weight loss can be achieved through mindful eating, even on a cruise ship. It's truly challenging to maintain healthy habits while surrounded by so many tempting options, but you've proven that with dedication and focus, it's absolutely possible. So inspiring to see your passion for cruising combined with such positive lifestyle changes. Keep up the great work!

[@not-so-zen-master]

we want you both around for a very, very long time

[@denisewyatt6067]

You two are just so delightful. Your weight loss is amazing and you shine with good health. Fantastic xx

[@Lovesapuzzle]

Congratulations on improving your health. We need your positive energy to stick around for a long time.

[@sackanutz]

Congrats!! As a former fat (lost over a 100 pounds in about 7 months), it does get easier once you see and feel the results.

[@anitaclue9868]

Congratulations!!!!

[@malcolmstockbridge2569]

I like it when you do a less 'ship' focus video. I think its obvious you will eventually run out of ship tours and hopefully there will be more 'destination' videos, I know you have done a few over the years but I think its something you can expand on. There are only so many cabin and buffet reviews you can do. You both look so healthy now.

[@terrifromm5085]

We know Kylie here in the U.S. (Los Angeles) too.

[@edwardulrich1515]

Yes, Ben and David, I have heard of Kylie Minogue. She had non-singing roles in an episode of "The Vicar of Dibley" (opening the Dibley fair) and an episode of "Dr. WHO" (9th Doctor). I know she is mainly a singer, but not from my generation.

[@terrifromm5085]

You look fabulous, Ben. You are an inspiration to all of us who try to not gain weight on a cruise. Moderation is the key.

[@sarahann4007]

So glad you are sharing about this Ben!

[@sarahann4007]

I love how real and open you two are! Even for those of us who don’t struggle with weight, it is important to consider the health aspects when we have SO MUCH available at the ready for us to grab and consume. I feel that mindful eating is so important and it is good for everyone to practice. Happy sailing to you both and you both look GREAT! 😊

[@billnTX]

Wow. So inspiring. I’m trying to lose 30 lbs after being very naughty during the holiday season. I love you guys’ channel and how positive and fun your videos are. Congratulations on your weight loss journey!! 🎉🎉

[@L8BLUUMR]

You will take MANY more cruises because you are taking steps to improve the longevity outlook! I love seeing you guys having fun.

[@melodypookeysmomonposhmark7832]

From the US & I know who Kylie is! Thanks for sharing your experience - great video 💕

[@aquaandsage]

Oh so heartbroken I missed you💔I’ve been watching you for many years, but missed some for awhile now & didn’t know you were coming to my home town😞. I would have absolutely loved to meet you both & take you somewhere. Hope you had a fantastic time, congratulations on the weight loss👌🏼 and hopefully I might get to see you in the future. Love Denise, Melbourne Australia 🇦🇺

[@SuperAbcdabcdabcdabc]

Hello from Hewitt 🇨🇦. I hope that you are feeling proud of yourself. You look wonderful

[@karenzirk6800]

The great part about weight loss is the back hurts less and feeling so good. Keep up the great work. Love you both.🥰

[@victoriap9151]

Living for David's Australian look. Men in hats.

[@FraserAtSea]

It's great to see a video on this topic - I was hoping you'd cover this. Your weight loss is incredible, and you should be so proud!

[@thetripod7]

Wow, good for you. It is so hard to lose that much weight and keep it off. You are giving me inspiration to be able to do the same.

[@charlottemary3573]

Congratulations 💕, that’s really an impressive amount of weight to loose unaided - you look great for it! Kcal deficits alone can be brutal, your willpower is 10/10!

[@cynthiaczyzewicz2740]

You are truly an inspiration with your weight loss…thank you for sharing your journey.

[@summerqwerty9]

I need to lose around 30 pounds, too. Great video, we see Melbourne, and at the same time, we get a few tips on how to limit calorie intake. Continue your good work, and since we are still in January, Happy New Year 🎉

[@karentozer1871]

Ben, thanks for sharing your weight loss journey with us xx

[@max-ripi]

I'm impressed that you haven't talked about it over the last few videos. Could see it so clearly but no mention. Actually made me a bit worried! Congratulations!

[@Tonimaree25]

Oh wow! I can’t believe that you are both here in Australia. And you presented my home town of Melbourne so beautifully! Ben, thank you for sharing your weight loss journey with us. It is so very hard to maintain weight loss and your words have inspired me. It has given me the inspiration to lose the few kilos that I want to lose. Enjoy the rest of you time down under won’t you. 🤗🤗

[@jeffmcallister7040]

Great job!!!! Losing 70 lbs is awesome. Congratulations. You are a great example of what can be done if you have discipline and stick to what you need to do.

[@YeahShaw]

Thank you for explaining & being transparent & honest about how healthy, sustainable weight loss is achieved. May you both have happy, healthy & long cruising lives.

[@barbaragill5984]

Ben, you have done a super job with your weight loss and you are doing it the correct way: slowly and with exercise so you are maintaining muscle mass. Keep at it. Cheers.

[@chriztee2020]

So happy for both of you for prioritizing your health and most importantly for feeling better! I think most people understand this isn't official advice but just in case I think it's important for people to know restrictive diets have a rebound effect and most people gain back the weight because constant restriction is too difficult to maintain. Also skipping breakfast is correlated with weight gain for most people, not weight loss. Also no one should be comparing themself to the BMI and calling themself overweight or obese. I know doctors do this but this is because insurance companies pressure them to. The BMI was based off a mostly male population from Belgium over 150 years ago. It cannot accurately be used for modern UK and US populations. Lastly, the healthy diet and exercise is what makes people feel better, not so much the weight loss. If any of this seems odd or even better tickles your interest, please look up the HAES (Health at Every Size) movement. I worry that we conflate extra weight with being unhealthy and that is just not the case. That is fatphobia, eugenics, and perfectionism in disguise. To sum it up simply: a little fat never hurt anyone but an unhealthy body does. I see so many "overweight" people beat themselves up when they are doing all the right things in terms of diet and exercise. I want those people to know they are healthy whether they reach an "ideal" weight set by the BMI, or not.

[@lexirowe3151]

Way to go! Losing that much weight is definitely an accomplishment and something to be proud of. I hope you are able to keep it up and maintain this wonderful feeling. You are such an inspiration to those of us out there still struggling to get healthy

[@gwynethglas-brown9171]

Well Done Ben 🎉 your a Trooper can imagine its not easy on a Cruise with all the Temptation with the pastries,ice creams,Alcohol,cocktails etc. You shown it can be done 😊. Melbourne looked lovely the Botanical Gardens look so pretty,with lots of interesting flowers,plants 😍. Looking forward to your next video in Sydney Safe Travels 🥰

[@LODOG419]

You look ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS!!! keep going.

[@rachelleslater8997]

So very proud of you for accomplishing the weight loss you have. I myself have lost 52 pounds and still counting (probably for the fourth time in two decades). I feel like this time is different from all my past weight losses. I always did what ever was popular in the weight loss industry like keto, IF, calorie restriction and calorie counting, but I always plateaued, stayed stagnant then just regained all my weight back and sometimes more to boot! This time I’m following the Livy Method and learning how to eat without deprivation, weighing food or calorie counting. I’ve learned about the body’s set point ( which is just the weight that your body is used to functioning at) and how to move that set point in order to drop fat. Also, learning that a plateau can be a positive while dropping weight and is just your bodies way of taking a hot minute to adjust to the new weight you are at and give your skin a chance to reform around your new body. Anyways, not that you asked, I’m just excited for you and myself and hope some of my info could resonate with you.

[@derekfinnegan734]

Your doing great, Ben. The start of your weight loss journey is the hardest, you’re going against years of jut eating everything. Good work! Kylie is also my favourite musical artist. First saw her live on the Showgirl tour 20 years ago, just before her cancer diagnosis. She’s now the artist I’ve seen perform live most. Happy cruising!

[@lynemac2539]

Congratulations, Ben. I'm glad the weight loss was your choice. You look marvelous!

[@margyslater4985]

OF COURSE WE KNOW WHO KYLIE MINOGUE IS-EVEN IN CANADA!❤️

[@shelleyeastman606]

Absolutely!

[@user-ng6bl3vv1d]

Hello Ben and David, A very Happy and a very Healthy New Year to you both! We are enjoying your videos. Thank you so much for showing us different cruises, and options. Congratulations 🎉 on your weight loss Ben! You look marvelous! You both look great! I've been battling my weight for most of my life, and I understand how very difficult it is to lose a healthy amount of weight and maintain the weight loss. We love cruising and I have found it challenging, but, not impossible to stay on track with healthy food choices & a healthy body weight. Thank you for your honesty and sharing how you are able to lose weight and maintain it while cruising. We look forward to your next cruising videos. All the best to both of you, and wishing you many blessings.

[@tammyrlee]

I know you’re a cruise channel but an ‘episode’ of how you eat and such when you’re not cruising would be nice to learn about. You’re doing great! Keep it up!

[@Jrsun4ever]

So proud of you. I’ve been watching your vlogs. And you look fabulous!! Congratulations!!

[@kenandcoreen7179]

Ben, you're doing, and have done a fantastic job. No matter your weight, you are a good looking man! I've struggled with my weight most of my life, so I know how hard it is. Don't be hard on yourself when you have the odd bad day. We are human. It has to be a lifestyle change, and not a diet. Congrats on feeling so much better! Looking great! - Coreen

[@scruff520]

Great video guys, hats off to you Ben, you're doing amazing with your food, good for you. Looking forward to more videos x

[@kimtennison2694]

Ben, you look terrific! Good for you to cut calories while cruising. I love hearing how you’ve done it. Thanks for sharing. I had to lose 50 lbs for my knee replacement and did it with a low carb, high protein diet. Sugar and alcohol made my joints ache, so like you, I cut them out. Good job doing the work to get healthy!

[@christiwright3604]

Locomotion remake of Kylie’s was amazing!

[@deborahstockings5665]

Slowing down how quickly you eat is a good tip, also putting your knife and fork down between mouthfuls, and taking a sip of water between mouthfuls as well. You are doing great 👍 stay strong ❤

[@edwardulrich1515]

Ben, I give you great credit for sticking to your diet plan. You look fabulous.

[@peteruhe3176]

Thank you for the wonderful review of my hometown of Melbourne. Glad she put on a good weather day for you. The city is a buzz at the moment with the Aust Open Tennis staring the week.

[@micheleprose6097]

Ben, you look terrific!! Great job! As we age we need lots of walking, and we can get loads on a cruise 😊. Our truck was eating protein first before eating anything sweet or carbish as it cuts the sugar spike up to 75% per a biochemist. Keep up the good work, love watching you guys from across the pond in Missouri USA

[@thunderbe9487]

Congrats on weight loss/maintenance. Thanks for making the video. You make great points

[@kellieboyd3607]

I am so happy you have finally made it down under, keep up the great work you both do. Love ya

[@myrakemmey8723]

Ben, love watching you guys. You look fantastic, you have inspired me to try losing those extra pounds. So glad to see you both looking so healthy. Thanks for all the great videos.

[@debi444]

Congratulations on all your hard work. I'm glad you are feeling better and have so much more energy. Keep up the good work.

[@scarletapostate618]

Love love love love all the practical helpful tips💜 Very inspirational!!! Thank you!

[@markeaston7353]

What a champ in loosing all that weight. Keep up the great work!

[@carolinecampbell4032]

“Caloriffic” in lieu of “caloric” is my new favorite Ben malapropism.

[@elainebyrne1039]

'Calorific' is the correct word 'caloric' is not!

[@michischweiz]

Absolutely sensible advice in dieting. Very well done, Ben!

[@florencesnyder6125]

Congratulations on your weight loss. You look wonderful and can tell you are enjoying life more. ❤

[@chefboyrg7356]

Congratulations Ben, you look amazing! You are both inspirational because you both had a little tummy going on and both made the decision to take control of your life and made that change. Love you guys!

[@recommendationsfromrach]

Super proud of you Ben! Also so happy to see you loved our country. I always say it's like the US and UK had a baby.

[@aidagonzalez1886]

You wouldn't believe it. My husband said that I should ask you how you've been losing weight while cruising. Thank you for your inspiration and tips before our next season of cruising!

[@dawnpowers7626]

My nutritionist told that, every time I snack, add a little protein. The snacks are usually fruit, but I add some cottage cheese or cheese or something. That cuts my hunger. Also, protein at breakfast and at dinner. A lot of the time, that prevents me from even wanting a snack later.

[@louise3993]

Being on a diet doesn’t mean starving and doing with out sweets. Everything in moderation and exercise is the key. So proud of your weight loss Ben. I’m sure you have inspired viewers without even trying. David I’m with you I love onion soup. I make it at home from time to time. Think I will pass on the blue cheese to each is own. Safe travels thanks for being honest and real. 😊

[@louisedasilva6046]

Excellent video!! Ben, you really have accomplished an incredible weight loss and are looking great. Thank you for mentioning some good tips for weight loss. David, you crack me up. 😂

[@sehattonii]

Your Doing Great and for the Right reasons. So Hapoy and Supportive of your Journeys. Be Happy and Live your Dream Life. Also, Thanks for sharing.

[@rolla-oe1ly]

Congrats on the weight loss! 🎉 losing it ain't easy the older we get. I've lost 51 pounds in 7 months myself

[@scottydoggymama]

So glad to hear how well you are doing on the road to better health, yaaaaa gotta stick around for all the cruise fun

[@adambath8850]

Way to go Ben, I did the same 10 years ago and I've kept the weight off. You'll get to the point where you body will naturally adjust to portions and not even want to over eat. Took me approx. 2 years to get to that point. Keep it up!!!

[@spencerock445]

Thank 👏🏻 you 👏🏻 for 👏🏻 making 👏🏻 this

[@lynnetracey8828]

I loved seeing your journey! I’ve lost 122 pounds & I did it exactly the same way you’ve done it. Big on protein, I became a person who exercises, & I count calories. I had to eat healthy, like it or not, because the types of calories matter. I have to eat food that fills me up or I’d fail. Just like you’ve done. Good job!

[@teresah5318]

Congratulations on your weight loss and your personal education on food. As someone who has lost 50 pounds and has tried to keep it off for the last 5 years, I have a saying when I am trying to lose a few pounds and that is, it will be there when I am done doing what I have to do. Teaching ourselves on what is good to eat and how to try to minimize or not have unhealthy foods is a long road. I wish you lots of luck on keeping the right attitude. You both look fantastic, and I am so proud of you Ben!

[@ashleyc6511]

I need to get on board with a healthy change myself. You’re a great inspiration Ben.

[@sharonh2172]

I'm super proud and excited that you've made the commitment to your health! You look fabulous and it's so encouraging to me! Thank you for sharing ❤

[@bobbysmith4370]

You guys look great. Thank you for sharing your life’s journey with the whole world. Tomorrow I start a new journey in my life. I start a new job, restrict my booze to be booze free by the end of the month, read three books a month, workout four times a week, and eat better. I just made my lunches and dinners until Wednesday! I also love starting my morning with a cup of tea, with berries, watermelon, a banana, and some seeds. I will be booking a cruise on MSC Yacht Club by April. I hope you guys do a vlog about the Yacht Club soon. May this New year bring you guys health, happiness, and prosperity to you and your loved ones.

[@justinc5356]

Ben…. I cruise a lot, and like you I have also struggled with weight…. I totally feel everything you are saying and I want you to know - so many people are here sending you so much love… Gaining or losing is all about caloric intake - it’s a zero sum game! Eat more than you burn - gain…. It really is so simple. Not everyone has it as easy as David… You look great, keep it up, remember why you did it…. We hope to meet you guys in person one day…. Proud of you!!

[@J.A.Goldsmith]

Congrats! Great job using your platform to provide your viewers with some healthy tips!

[@deborahconkle6822]

Hard work losing weight! Awesome you were able to reach your goal while cruising. All that unusual and fun food around all the time. Congratulations ❤

[@jessicatreanor8342]

Thank you for sharing your journey to better health. I, too, am on the same path. I started strong, but found it difficult to stay on track. Seeing what you're doing while faced with daily temptation has been helpful.

[@Nilesedge]

I’m from Melbourne, glad you liked it! You were really lucky with the weather 😅. Well done on the weight loss Ben, you’re looking fantastic. Thanks for sharing your tips.

[@maryanncapece2623]

Hi Ben and David. Ben, you are looking amazing and doing it the proper way. Making better food choices and exercise that you are getting by moving, be it in the gym or out exploring new places. Yes you can enjoy a treat now and then. Having the support of David (even if he does a little teasing with you now and then) is inspiring. Thank you for sharing your journey with us. ❤❤

[@jenniferthompson211]

So happy you did this. Such a culture of anything you say about weight is “fat shaming” and judgement when it’s actually a health issue. Extra weight causes health problems. Good for you. ❤

[@ThylakoidsRGo]

So happy for you! I've lost loads of weight and life is so fun when you're truly fit. It's hard work but you have such a great supportive partner like I do ❤

[@thechargerprincipal]

Thank you for sharing your weight loss journey. Until recently, I have been an avid runner, but due to an injury, I have been unable to run for the past 6 months. Unfortunately, I continue to eat like I am still running. So, you have inspired me to take control of my intake. Also, we also collect Starbucks mugs, so it was great to see that you also have that same "problem"! Happy cruising.

[@kellscrawford9076]

Congrats on the health journey!! Calories in, calories out, it’s the way to go!

[@JackKingFisher]

Well done!! We love you both and need you around for years and years to come! 🛳️ 🧑‍✈️ 🎉 ❤ 🥂

[@meaghanoswald3488]

Would love to see a video about brands you both shop at clothing wise! You guys always look so nice and put together even though you’re on vacation!!Love the videos ❤

[@bonniekae]

Welcome to Melbourne, so glad to have you both in my hometown

[@margaretatter4743]

My Dr. And my weight watchers instructor said, if ther is something that you are craving really bad. Have it. Then get it out of your system. I'm so proud of you. You look great.

[@colin5035]

I’m so proud of you! Thank you for sharing your story! 😊

[@SuperDrLisa]

Great job Ben! I just started Weight Watchers. I need to lose about 70 pounds. This is the way I've lost weight before. I'm carrying what I call "grief " pounds. Losing my daddy, brother in law, brother and cousin in the last couple of years. I'm working on myself now. Ben the aspartame in those diet sodas is not very good for you. The Huel looks promising. Thank you!

[@incantations446]

This is the video I’ve been waiting for!

[@mylesfamjam7619]

People in North America definitely know who Kylie Minogue is… I think it might be an age thing though… If you’re in your 40s or 50s you definitely know who Kylie Minogue is. We used to dance to her tunes in the bar all the time! Cheers from Canada!👍🏼👍🏼

[@laurah3291]

Nice work! Stairs are SO key. I have not been an elevator on a ship in years! I still struggle with water because of bathroom stops, especially on an excursion. Keep up the good work!
