Lexi and Danny Reed, a couple from Indiana, made their New Year’s resolution turn into an inspiring journey for others. Lexi weighed 485 pounds while Danny weighed 280. They made a goal to workout everyday and push each other to lose weight. It has been 2 years since they started this commitment and they have lost a combined total of 400 pounds. Lexi went down 18 sizes while Danny went down 14 sizes. Today, Lexi weighs 191 pounds and Danny weighs 182.The couple decided to make an instagram account to show their goal and process. They were tired of the way they were living so they decided to make a change. The account has gone viral with many inspiring comments. The couple said the hardest part of shedding weight was the food choices. They were use to going out to eat every day and eating junk food. Now they are learning to take control of what they put into their bodies and eating healthy. The couple states, “There are no words to explain the feeling of saving your own life’. Lexi Reed said “Going into 2018 I have nothing but a newfound happiness for this life I am living. I am no longer a prisoner in my own body and instead of just existing in my own life, I’m finally alive. Every day I wake up is a blessing.”
Questions-
1. Do you think this story will inspire other people to lose weight?
2. How do you think this affected their relationship?
3. What is one food that would be hard to give up if you went on a diet?
1. Yes, I think this will inspire other people especially if they’re bigger because it shows that anyone can lose weight and that it won’t be easy but it’ll be worth it.
2. I think it brought them together since they both wanted to lose weight and they worked together to maintain that goal. It was good because they had someone to push themselves and not give up. It makes them feel better about themselves and enjoy life more.
3. I think all junk food would be hard to give up but I’d have to say it’s a tie between pizza or ice cream.

i think that this will show people that they have the ability to change and definitely inspire some people to lose weight and i think that this had a positive affect on their relationship i mean look how happy they are. if i was to go on a diet a hard food t give up would be burgers and fries.
I think it will help people to know that your life can change completely, one person could come along and change every thing for the better. I think that it strengthened them, In the first picture you can see how they are away from each other and pretty serious(mainly him)but in the second picture they are extremely close. I think the hardest thing to give up would be coffee or pastry.
I think it will help create people to be more inspired to show that its not impossible it may be hard but in the end you will be happier and healthier. I thin it brought there relationship closer because you have to cheer on the other one and help them keep pushing so it would probably create a good bond.
Yes i do think it is going to inspire people to lift more and to lose weight. I think it made them bond alot more and push eachother through there struggles. They believed in eachother and succeeded. I would hate to give up burgers because burgers are the worlds best food.
I think that it will because people will see and know that it is possible you just have to put in work. I think that it made there relationship a lot better because they stuck with each other through the whole thing and have trust with each other. would say pop or candy and sweats.
1. Yes I think that this story will encourage many people to stop eating so much and go workout. 2. I think that this has strengthened there relationship because they have stuck together through thick and thin 3. eating out at mcdonalds
yes, because it shows that you can do it all it does it takes time and work. I think it would ave brought them closer because they are doing it together and pushing each other to do better
Absolutely I think it will inspire other couples and other people. Really all it is with hard work and determination you can achieve almost anything. They are probably closer together because all of the work they went through and pushing each other to get better has probably made their relationship better and fried chicken would be the hardest to give up.
I think this story is amazing and couples and people all around the world will be inspired to lose wait like these people. I think that having a plan and losing weight made them a lot closer. I feel like the way they maintained their goal and worked together definitely strengthened their relationship.
