“Get comfortable with being uncomfortable & always push yourself to step out of your comfort zone!”
That’s the philosophy of Lexi Reed from Terre Haute, Indiana
She and her husband Danny used to weigh over 700lbs until they decided to get into shape
They made a New Year’s resolution in 2016 and since then they’ve lost over 400lbs together!
“We didn’t have a meal plan, surgery, personal trainer, but what we did have was each other”
The couple, who wed in 2015, used to eat a total of around 8000 calories per day
They gave up junk food and started cooking meals at home
They also began hitting the gym 5-6 times per week and also doing Zumba classes
In just 12 months they lost half of their body weight!
“You don’t have to live this way for the rest of your life Lexi,” she told herself
“You are in charge of your future so go in that gym and show every single person that stares or doubts you what you’re made of”
“Prove them wrong & lets do this once and for all”
“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”
“This man has been by my side for the last 10 years and treated me no different at 485lbs than he does at 182lbs,” she said of her husband
“He never saw me as my size, asked me to change, or made me feel as anything other than beautiful”
“Love doesn’t have a size or weight limit”
“Surround yourself with those who lift you higher and see the greatness in you even when you don’t see it”
