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!

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.
