Losing 140 kilos is possible with diet and exercise

They have been together for more than 10 years

Lexie and Danny are a young couple. They met, fell in love, got married … and a year after their wedding, when they began to consider having children, they decided that obesity should not be an impediment to achieve it. And with that objective, they set out, facing the new year, to change their lifestyle.

The happiest woman in the world

Lexie's life has never been a smooth ride, but her mental strength has helped her overcome all obstacles. When she got married, for example, it took her a lot of time, energy, and tears to find a wedding dress that would fit her. With her efforts, she managed to find a dress with which she felt very pretty and did not let the weight be an obstacle to her happiness, "thin or fat I knew that day was going to be the best day of my life."

They knew they had to change something

Lexie, was obese and already had some health problems despite her youth. They knew that if they wanted to have children, being overweight was a major impediment and they decided that together they could remedy it. They also wanted their beautiful love story to be long and not that weight problems put their happiness in danger.

New Year's resolutions

With the entry of 2016 they decided to change their life and with the entry of the new year they got down to work. Lexie weighed about 220 kilos and her husband, Danny, 130.

Two years have passed since they made that decision. See how it changed their lives.

And how did they do it?

His New Year's resolution was to eat healthy and, most importantly, to change from staying home watching TV to going to the gym and playing sports.

With your determination

This young couple began to lose weight without help of any kind: without surgery, without personal trainers, without strict diets …

Little satisfactions

Losing weight without help is a long road but not impossible. Setting small goals is essential to keep going. In this image Lexie, who is already in the process of transformation, and feels great because for the first time she puts on a tank top without fear of showing her arms.

Mutual support

What has been basic is the support they have given each other. Going to the gym together, cooking, taking care of themselves… it has united them a lot as a couple.

His life slowly began to change

His life little by little began to change

And in small things such as going to the movies. Before no Lexie did not fit in the seats.

Contact with the nature

In addition to playing sports and eating healthy, Danny and Lexie took the opportunity to take long walks on days off from the gym.

A change for herself

Lexie always insists that she has felt wanted and desired as a woman by Danny before and now and that she decided to change her life for herself.

A very obvious evolution

Lexie jokes that it took her to find a suitable bra for her wedding day. But what she's not kidding about is her weight and her relationship with herself. She always wanted to lose weight but not because she felt less about not having the size that society decides is the right one, but because she loved herself enough to change her life. Not because she wasn't happy with who she was. "I am super proud of the girl who fought to get where I am now."

It was difficult for him to publish this photo

Danny, who is more shy, was hesitant to show this image where you can see the 40 kilos he has lost. The reaction from social media was unanimous: congratulations!

"I don't even recognize myself"

Lexie wanted to be healthy and change her life. She knew that if she tried, she would achieve the best version of herself. And she is very clear that it is worth taking care of and respecting her body every day.

You can follow their day to day

The couple have registered their process on their Instagram account. A very active account with thousands of followers in which the couple explains their day-to-day life and encourages others to follow their example.

Before and after

They have documented its evolution and progress almost daily and have not hesitated to share it on social media. Where his story has gone viral.

Always positive messages

Lexie accompanies her images with messages of improvement that encourage her to follow in her footsteps, but not for a search for the ideal physique, but for health: "I will be healthy for myself, not for anyone else." And advises "Love yourself to live your best life."

Eating well and taking care of yourself pays off

The change that good nutrition and sport have wrought in them is worthy of applause.

Third wedding anniversary

The couple just celebrated their third wedding anniversary and are closer than ever.

What a change!

Lexie recounts to her followers how Danny has gone from not being able to fully hug her because her perimeter was greater than his arms, to holding her in his arms.

A new challenge: remove excess skin

Lexie's next challenge has been an operation in which she has been able to remove excess skin. At the end of this October, specifically on Halloween, she underwent this intervention.

Has shared everything

Lexie, faithful to her followers and her commitment to make them part of her process of change, has shared the before, during and after her operation to remove excess skin. Both the good times and the bad. Like the one in this image, in which she suffers from the daily injections that she has had to take after the operation to avoid clots, when she has always feared needles.

Reward

But so many efforts have paid off and Lexie has finally been able to get rid of the excess skin that limited her so much, and not just aesthetically. Here we see her the morning when the last drain was finally removed, her body still a little swollen from the operation.

Major surgery

And is that the operation to which Lexie has undergone is very serious and involves carrying several drains in addition to assuming a very painful postoperative. Nonetheless, Lexie has remained strong and happy, never losing her ultimate goal: to be healthy and to have the opportunity to be a mother.

Three weeks after the operation

Lexie is very happy that her scars are healing well, although very slowly. Her body is still swollen but you can clearly see the great change after removing the excess skin. Of course, you will have to wait 6 months to see your final body.

Good decisions

This is one of the last images that he has shared with his followers where he congratulates himself for continuing to make good and healthy decisions and for listening to his body. It's only been a few weeks, yes, but looking back, she recognizes that eating better, playing sports - and now having surgery - have been the best choices of her life.

A very positive evolution

Alexis continues to share images of how her body is evolving after the operation.

With 140 kilos less

It's cool, right? In addition to having adopted a much healthier lifestyle, the aesthetic change is spectacular.

New Year's resolutions usually stay there, mere resolutions, and rarely do they come true. This rule has an exception and it's called Lexie. A strong and courageous woman who, together with her husband, Danny, set out to lose weight with the coming of the new year. Her goal was to gain health and above all to be able to start a family one day. We tell you what happened and how they are now, about to complete the third year since they started this adventure.

Obesity and health problems
