Early Days
Lexi Reed had always been struggling with her weight ever since she was a little girl. Even though she faced certain problems with her weight, she did not let that weigh her down and stayed a very outgoing and sociable person. She had tried countless health regimen and exercises to put the weight off but it would eventually creep back. It started to feel like she was just not meant to lose weight. When Lexi turned 25 years old, she had already weighed around 392 pounds. The amount of weight she had put on was starting to affect her well-being as it was starting to affect her health. Lexi had always been a positive and cheerful person who always saw that best in life, but her weight problem was starting to become a nuisance. It was obstructing her from achieving her life goals.
The Engagement
Lexi needed something drastic to happen to her in order for her to lose weight. When Danny finally proposed to her, she knew a change was needed. “He never saw me as my size, asked me to change, or made me feel as anything other than beautiful,” Lexi posted on her Instagram. Since she was now a whopping 485 pounds, finding the perfect wedding dress for her would be near impossible.

While some dubbed her the world’s fattest bride. Even after a year of being married, nothing changed much for her and the couple was still up to their old tricks. She was beginning to feel like she had no control of her life. Lexi was certain that a change needs to happen but was unsure how. She was slowly making up her mind to do something about her weight. She never expected that the change she wanted would eventually come by so casually.
The One Decision That Would Change Their Lives
“At first the idea didn’t sound great because it was always good going home, sitting down, eating and not having to worry about anything,” Danny confessed. However, he could not let Lexi make this decision and be on her own. “It’s a new year and something to work toward while helping Lexi out as well,” Danny later exclaimed. He was sure this would benefit them both.
He Couldn’t Recognize His Own Wife
Soon Lexi grew comfortable at the gym saying “if people were going to stare at me because of my weight, I was going to give them a reason to stare by being the hardest worker in the room.” Initially, Lexi was shedding about 20 pounds a month. Slowly it was getting harder to put off the weight. She continued to maintain this routine of hers and after a while, it turned into a lifestyle. It was indeed so effective that even her own husband couldn’t recognize her, the transformation his bride had went through was truly Amazing.
Instagram Success
Lexi decided to set up an Instagram account back in 2016 to pin down her personal progress. She named it “Fat Girl Fed Up” and filled the page with her gym photos plus inspirational words. It became a popular page that has now gained over 750,000 followers. She would regularly post about her workouts and the diet she consumes. In a matter of just 2 years, Lexi’s improvement was unbelievable.
