The thing is, we sometimes think that doing something is too difficult, so we quit. However, if you just thought differently for a moment, your entire mindset could change in an instant, and that thing you thought was difficult would merely become extremely easy. This is what happens when people want to lose weight. They think about all the work that needs to go into it, and they give up before they even start, ultimately ending up unhappy with themselves.

This is what happened to Lexi Reed from Indiana before she and her husband decided to embark on a weight loss journey together. In 2016, they made the choice to lose weight when she weighed 485 lbs and her husband Danny weighed 280 lbs.

It took them 18 months to lose almost 400 lbs between the two of them! Lexi decided to set up an Instagram account so that people could follow her journey, and it is truly inspiring.
