Lexi Reed é uma mulher de Terre Haute, Indiana que pesava cerca de 220 kg e que decidiu mudar de vida e perder peso juntamente com o seu marido Danny, que pesava cerca de 127 kg, deixando simplesmente de comer a chamada “comida de plástico” e começando a frequentar o ginásio cinco a seis vezes por semana.

Ao perceberem que corriam um enorme risco de saúde com os seus pesos actuais, Lexi e Danny decidiram que estava na hora de mudarem o seu estilo de vida para uma vida mais saudável, até porque querem ser pais no futuro e viverem muitos anos juntos e felizes, tendo por isso começado esta nova jornada no dia 1 de Janeiro de 2016.

Em apenas 18 meses, o casal perdeu um total 180 kg, tendo começado a partilhar na sua conta de Instagram as enormes diferenças não só no seu aspecto, como na sua auto-estima e até no seu estilo de vida, ganhando a admiração de milhares de pessoas que passaram a seguir a sua conta, que já tem mais de 513 mil seguidores!

Vê só algumas das fotografias onde Lexi partilha o seu antes vs. depois desta fantástica transformação, provando que o mais importante é ter força de vontade e determinação!

#transformationtuesday -305lbs? naturally with diet/exercise since I set a New Years Resolution 1/1/16. No meal plan, surgery, personal trainer, pills, or anything like that. If you’re new to my journey my name is Lexi & at 25 years old I was fedup with the life I was living. I was 25 years old, 485lbs, and I had a BMI of 78. My weight held me back from many things such as riding rollercoasters, traveling on airplanes, hiking, riding a bike, fitting comfortably in booths, movie theater seats, my own car, walking any distance, climbing stairs, sitting in certain furniture without fearing it may break, any activity with a weight limit, and even putting my shoes on could be a chore. I had to think about my size before planning so many normal daily activities that it was mentally exhausting. I was a prisoner in my own body and I longed to break free. I knew to break out of my prison I had to change my lifestyle and stop talking about losing weight or I was on my way to an early funeral. I started counting calories, learning daily, taking the foods I loved and making healthier versions, working out on the elliptical for 30 mins 5x a week, meal prepping, and focusing on small healthy changes daily. All those changes added up and before I knew it I had lost 305lbs. Dont wait for the New Year like I did to break free from your prison – start today! ——————————————————————————— Fedup & ready to start 2018 fighting back for your health? Next dietbet starts 1/7/18!

#motivationmonday -394lbs ? combined since we set a New Years Resolution 1/1/2016. We were fedup with spending or nights sitting on the couch binge watching Netflix and mindlessly eating. Our bestfriend challenged us to the first 30 days of no eating out, no cheat meals, no alcohol or soda, and working out for 30 minutes five times a week. We took the challenge, completed it 100%, and that first month of our journey our lives changed. We realized it wasn’t a diet, but a lifestyle change. We focused on small changes and they added up to big results. We focused on each day instead of how far we had to go. Instead of eating out like we did daily we meal prepped, learned daily about nutrition labels/cooking, ans we also took the foods we loved and made healthy versions. This helped us not feel deprived and control temptations. We also fell in love with taking care of ourselves and our new life together. This journey helped bring us closer together and stronger than ever. Dont wait for the New Year to change like we did – start today! #weightloss #weightlossjourney #fit #fitfam #fitness #dietbet #fattofit #gym #obesetobeast #fattofit #swolemate #couplegoals #relationshipgoals #fitnessmotivation #fitlove #fitcouple #plussize #effyourbeautystandards #health #diet #losingweight #extremeweightloss #transformation #weightlosstransformation #fatgirlfedupsdietbet #goals #motivation

#swolematesunday -394?lbs since 1/1/16! This man has stuck by my side through thick & thin. @discoveringdanny has loved me no matter my size and never asked me to change. He treats me the same way at 179lbs that he treated me at 485lbs. When we got married we made vows to low eachother for better for worse through sickness and in health until death do us part. ❤ We meant those words and we are so happy for this new life we are living. Don’t wait until the New Year to change like we did – start today! #weightloss #weightlossjourney #fit #gym #workout #fitfam #fitspo #fitnesssmotivation #goals #healthylifestyle #diet #fitness #love #couplegoals #relationshipgoals #diet #motivation #fitnessmotivation #fattofit #fedupfam #fatgirlfedupsdietbet #dietbet #losingweight #transformation

#throwbackthursday to 485lbs & @discoveringdanny proposing to me at sunset on Clearwater Beach. He never saw me as my size, asked me to change, or made me feel as anything other than beautiful. He treated me the same way at 485lbs that he does at 182lbs. Love doesn’t have a size or weight limit. He saw the person I was on the inside and supported me while I made that person on the side match my outside. Surround yourself with those who lift you higher and see the greatness in you even when you dont see it yourself! ❤ #weightloss #weightlossjourney #fatgirlfedupdietbet #love #florida #clearwaterbeach #sunset #fitspire #fitcouple #relationshipgoals #couplegoals #fattofit #obesetobeast #beastmode #fitfam #fitspo #inspire #motivation #fitnessmotivation #gym #wedding #engagement #transform #fitspo #diet #extremeweightloss #transformation

#transformationtuesday -303? down. From a size 28 to a 10. Last year 1/1/16 I set a New Years Resolution to lose weight. I was fedup with being a prisoner in my own body and at 25 years old 485lbs – I knew I had to fight for my life. I didn’t have the funds for a personal trainer, meal plan, surgery, and I knew I had to find a lifestyle that I could stick too. I started counting calories, pushing myself doing cardio on the elliptical for just 5x a week, stopped drinking my calories, learned daily how to cook, started meal prepping, & focused on each day not how far I had to go. Before I knew it I had lost 303lbs and broke out of my prison. Dont wait for the New Year like I did – START TODAY! #weightloss #diet #losingweight #workout #exercise #beforeandafter #instafit #goals #lowcarb #health #fatgirlfedupsdietbet #extremeweightloss #transform #transformation #gym #plussize #weightlosstransformation #fit #fitness #fitfam #fitspo #motivation #fitnessmotivation #effyourbeautystandards #dietbet #weightlossjourney

#motivationmonday -303lbs in 18 months. Today someone asked me what I told myself the night before I started my weight loss journey on 1-1-16 & stepped into the gym. Here was my response – “Tomorrow is the first day of the rest of your life. Are you going to just keep talking about losing the weight or are you just going to do it? No more excuses. No more fear. You dont have to live this way for the rest of your life Lexi. You are in charge of your future so go in that gym and show every single person that stares or doubts you what youre made of. Prove them wrong & lets do this once and for all.” I was fedup and ready to change for ME and nobody could hold me back. Not then, not now.

At 485lbs I was the girl that hid behind the camera or made a funny face. I was the girl that hid in all black clothing at the gym to look smaller and so others couldn’t see how much I sweat. I was the girl who hid in the bathroom at the gym to take selfies when there were too many people. I was the girl that hid behind many things in life to avoid standing out or being heard. Not because I didnt love myself or my body but because i was always the shy quiet girl that avoided being the center of attention. Not anymore. I was a prisoner in my own body & living as a slave to food for 25 years. I know now I was born to stand out, be heard, and change lives. Losing 303lbs not only saved my life, but the journey helped make me who I am today. 2017 isnt over yet & it’s never too late to be the best version of yourself.
