New life since the New Year: minus 200 kg for two people

Many fitness experts believe that in order to lose weight, it’s important to have a strong support: a person with whom you can work out, start eating right and motivate each other to succeed. And even if you’re too lazy to go to the gym, your friend is sure to get you up off the couch. Lexi and Danny Reed from Indiana have proven by example that this theory is true.

Lexi and Danny are ordinary Indiana residents. They are husband and wife, Lexi is 27 years old, Danny – 29, and two years ago the couple suffered from overweight. However, believing in each other has helped them not only lose weight but also motivate others to do the same.

We are a couple and it has helped us in many aspects.

Lexi Reed: “There are times when one of us is too lazy to go to workout. In that case, we make each other go to the gym. We also cook meals together, set goals, and day by day, pound by pound we get closer to our goal.”

A new year is a good reason to start a healthy lifestyle. That’s exactly what the couple thought and began their journey. The couple really wanted a child, but being overweight made it difficult for them to have one. Then the couple decided to radically change their lives and become healthy. This is how their journey to a healthy lifestyle began.

When they first started, Lexi weighed about 220 pounds, Danny weighed 130 pounds. As a result, Lexi was able to lose almost 140 pounds and Danny lost 40 pounds. We were just tired of the life we were leading, so we decided to start working out and eating right.

In order to preserve the memories and immortalize their achievements, the couple created an Instagram account. Now they have about 500,000 people subscribed to their page, who just like the couple want to start working out and eating right. Lexi and Danny have motivated many through their page. As Lexi admits, she didn’t expect that she and Danny could influence anyone. Initially, her goal was to get healthy.

Lexi reveals that the hardest part was changing her attitude toward food.

“When I weighed 220 pounds, I never cooked. My husband and I would go out to eat almost every day, and if we cooked at home, it was frozen pizza or some other junk food.”

It was cooking healthy meals that helped them stay on track. The couple cooked their own healthy meals and took them to work. The Reeds also started joining a gym.

Life changed when we changed our mindset, habits and lifestyle.

The couple reached their goal and together they were able to lose almost 200 pounds. Lexi says she is very happy now.

“There are no words to explain the feeling of saving your own life. I am no longer a prisoner in my own body. Instead of just existing, I finally feel alive. Waking up every day is a blessing.”

However, even now, Lexi is convinced that happiness doesn’t depend on clothing size. Danny proposed to her on a Florida beach when she weighed 220 pounds.

“I got married when I weighed 220 kg and it was one of the best days of my life. I married my best friend and I didn’t worry about my weight at all. I was beautiful then, but now I’m beautiful and healthy at the same time.”

As Lexi admits, Danny never asked her to change. He always made his wife feel beautiful.

When you love a person, you don’t care about their clothing size or weight. Danny appreciated my inner peace and always supported me.

This story shows that it is important to find a good friend or girlfriend, husband or wife, who will support you and motivate you on the way to achieve your goal. Exercising with someone is always more fun and moreover, more effective. Lexi and Danny loved each other despite being overweight. However, in order to get healthy, they started exercising intensely.

The couple emphasizes that they didn’t just go on a diet, they started a new healthy life. Although Lexi and Danny started their journey in the New Year, they are confident that they don’t have to wait for the New Year to come, because you can change your life for the better starting today!
