A Texas couple lost a combined 120 pounds after a free a trip to Hawaii inspired them to adopt a healthier diet.
Ashley Evans and Brendan Roche, both 34, went on Today Monday to share their weight loss success story, which began with a dream vacation to Maui.
The lovebirds were inspired to change their lives for the better, giving up junk food and cooking healthier versions of their favorite meals.
The Houston-based pair explained that they gained a significant amount of unwanted weight during the pandemic.
“We got pretty big during lockdown,’ Roche said.
“Once the pandemic hit, we were ordering tons of food and staying inside. I worked from home, so it was a very sedentary lifestyle. It was almost a treat-yourself-every-meal kind of scenario,” he said.
