Lexi Reed and her husband Danny became viral stars after they lost nearly three hundred pounds together. Now, they are sharing their tips for the public about how they can lose weight as well.
It all started on Jan. 1, 2016, when Lexi found herself weighing almost 500 pounds. Realizing her health and life were at risk, Lexi made a New Year’s resolution to lose weight, and her husband Danny joined her in the endeavor.
Within the next year, they lost almost 300 pounds!
“We traded in our lazy nights on the couch, eating terrible foods & binge watching netflix for the gym & healthy meals,” Lexi said.
She added that losing weight has not only changed them physically, but mentally as well.
“We are stronger, closer, & will live longer healthier lives together,” Lexi said. “This journey isn’t always easy, but it’s so worth it.”
So far, Lexi has gone from 485 pounds to 239, and she intends to lose even more!
“I have fought consistently for myself since last year & i (sic) am finally living the life I’ve always wanted,” she wrote on social media.
Lexi’s first piece of advice is to always make exercise a priority. Though she works grueling 10 hour days, she says that you should always set specific time aside to go to the gym.
“I just kind of try to set it up like a business meeting. I am my own boss and I can’t cancel,” she said.
Lexi also says that it’s important to stay around people who are going to be supportive. She said to “surround yourself only with those who lift you higher.” Danny and Lexi kept each other motivated, always encouraging the other person to work out if they wanted a break.
Finally, Lexi says that you should incorporate more lean proteins, like chicken and salmon, and more vegetables into your diet. Instead of focusing on all the unhealthy foods you are avoiding, focus on all the yummy healthy foods that you can eat!
