In just eighteen months a woman managed to lose a whopping 300lbs of her body weight and celebrated this incredible achievement with a picture, in which her husband is holding her in her arms. The photo was purposely taken from the same angle as one comparison photo of them prior to the weight loss.
Two years ago the Terre Haute, Indiana resident Lexi Reed, now 26 years old, had a personal weight of nearly 500lbs, and her boyfriend weighted at 280lbs.
Both of them decided that they will lose those extra pounds working together, so they started their mutual support weight loss road in the beginning of 2016.
Lexi’s Instagram account gathered more than 450,000 followers, inspired by their positive attitude and serious approach to the mission ahead. Needless to say, the ‘after’ photo was shared with all of them.
Despite the media attention that was focused on the couple, their most important goal remains the support they are giving each other throughout every step of the way.
Lexi says that she and her boyfriend decided to set a New Year’s resolution in 2016, which stated that they lose excessive weight once and for all.
She also added that it was hard because they did not have a meal plan or a trainer, but still they had each other, as well the huge motivation to work hard day after day. They thought about having children and living a longer, healthier life.
And while the two of them lost weight, they gained a new level of their bond, becoming closer than ever, transforming their lives for good and shaping their bodies like they dreamed of doing.
Lexi is happy about the fact that Danny has been showing his love and support always, no matter how much she weighted. She claims that her man has always been there for her during the past ten years and his behavior towards her has always been the same, regardless of her weight. Lexi hopes that everyone will have somebody by their side who shows love and makes life great, and she also would like their story to serve as an inspiration for others to never give up.
Before taking on the change, the couple consumed roughly 8,000 calories daily, and cutting that calorie intake resulted in losing half their body weight in just a year.
Lexi summarized her thoughts from the time she started this challenge.
She said to herself that she was not going to allow fear and excuses ruin her decisions anymore. She decided that she was in control and she will change her life and have a better future, as well as prove all skeptics wrong. Lexi is determined to finish 2017 with even better results – the goal is to lose 7lbs more. The journey is not over yet.
This amazing woman is more than determined to enter 2018 with the desired body weight of 175lbs. She learned to get comfortable when outside of her comfort zone. And if anyone was ever tempted to take some time off and just lay down snacking and doing nothing, this couple’s story is everything you need to think twice.
