Emagrecer é bastante difícil e é preciso muita força de vontade.

Porém, quando se tem apoio de quem você ama, tudo fica mais fácil. E a história de Lexi e Danny é a prova disso.

Em 2016, o casal americano chegou ao limite. O excesso de peso estava prejudicando eles em todos os aspectos de suas vidas. Na época, Lexi estava pesando 220 kg e Danny 127 kg e tinham doenças ligadas ao sobrepeso, sentiam dificuldades de exercer funções simples do cotidiano e, acima de tudo, a obesidade estava impedindo a realização de um sonho: ter filhos! Então, decidiram prometer um ao outro que perderiam peso e ficariam mais saudáveis.

#motivationmonday -394lbs ? combined since we set a New Years Resolution 1/1/2016.point 341 |

We were fedup with spending or nights sitting on the couch binge watching Netflix and mindlessly eating.point 88 | Our bestfriend challenged us to the first 30 days of no eating out, no cheat meals, no alcohol or soda, and working out for 30 minutes five times a week.point 212 |

We took the challenge, completed it 100%, and that first month of our journey our lives changed.point 80 | We realized it wasn't a diet, but a lifestyle change.point 128 | We focused on small changes and they added up to big results.point 178 | We focused on each day instead of how far we had to go.point 221 |

Instead of eating out like we did daily we meal prepped, learned daily about nutrition labels/cooking, ans we also took the foods we loved and made healthy versions.point 138 | This helped us not feel deprived and control temptations.point 187 | We also fell in love with taking care of ourselves and our new life together.point 250 |

This journey helped bring us closer together and stronger than ever.point 58 | Dont wait for the New Year to change like we did – start today! #weightloss #weightlossjourney #fit #fitfam #fitness #dietbet #fattofit #gym #obesetobeast #fattofit #swolemate #couplegoals #relationshipgoals #fitnessmotivation #fitlove #fitcouple #plussize #effyourbeautystandards #health #diet #losingweight #extremeweightloss #transformation #weightlosstransformation #fatgirlfedupsdietbet #goals #motivationpoint 434 | 1

Desde que se casaram, em 2015, Lexi e Danny viviam no sedentarismo e consumiam cerca de 8 mil calorias por dia. Eles nem sabiam por onde começar para perder todo o peso extra. No entanto, estavam determinados a se esforçar todos os dias e a encorajar um ao outro.

E não teve uma receita mágica.point 25 | Para emagrecer, eles trocaram o fast food e as refeições repletas de gordura e açúcar por comida caseira e de qualidade, beberam água em vez de refrigerante, além de praticarem esportes cinco vezes por semana.point 200 | Com isso, em pouco mais de um ano eles perderam 178 kg no total.point 251 |

Atualmente, Lexi pesa 82 kg e Danny perdeu 40 kg.point 40 | Mesmo com todas as dificuldades, Lexi diz que o mais importante foi seu marido estar sempre a seu lado, incentivando-a e mostrando um amor incondicional.point 169 | 1
