כל שנה כשהסילבסטר מגיע, (או ראש השנה בגרסה היהודית) אנחנו מפוצצים עצמנו בשמפניה, ובעודנו סופרים לאחור את השניות, מבטיחים הבטחות לרגל השנה החדשה - לחסוך יותר, לעבוד פחות, לטייל בעולם, לרוץ מרתון, לחטוף מטוס. אפשר להבטיח הכל, והרי הבטחות לשנה החדשה בדרך כלל ידועות ככאלו שלא הולכות להתממש. אבל יש אנשים שמבטיחים לעצמם ומקיימים, זה אומנם נדיר אבל זה קורה. לאחרונה זוג מארה"ב הוכיחו לעולם ובעיקר לעצמם שהבטחות צריך לקיים, לאחר שהצליחו להשיל כמות אדירה ממשקלם.



בינואר 2016, לקסי ודני ריד, הבטיחו לעצמם לרגל השנה החדשה שהם יירדו במשקל והרבה. השניים החליטו על דיאטה משום שרצו יום אחד להפוך להורים, וכן לחיות יחד זמן רב ולא למות חלילה ממחלות הקשורות להשמנת יתר. השניים אף תיעדו את המסע המפרך שלהם באינסטגרם, והשילו יחד 181.5 ק"ג ממשקלם. לפני הדיאטה לקסי שקלה 220 ק"ג, ודני שקל 127 ק"ג. אומנם ללקסי היה יותר משקל להוריד, אבל דיאטה זו דיאטה והיא אף פעם לא קלה.


 
 

#transformationtuesday -392 since @dannyreed5 & I set a New Years Resolution together 1/1/16. We didnt have a meal plan, surgery, personal trainer, but what we did have was each other & the motivation within to work hard every single day. We wanted to be parents in the future and live a longer life together. We had no idea that in just over a year 6 months we would be a completely different couple. We may have lost the weight but we have grown closer together. Pound by pound, step by step, day by day - we have transformed our lives and molded our bodies into the people we've always wanted to be. This man has been by my side for the last 10 years and treated me no different at 485lbs than he does at 182lbs. We all deserve to live a life we are in love with and have people around that make it worth living. We hope others will hear our story & decide not to give up! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dietbet just started but you can join for 14 days after!

"החלק הכי קשה במסע שלי היה ללמוד לשנות את היחסים שלי עם אוכל" סיפרה לקסי ל"אינדיפנדנט" הבריטי. "בהתחלה, חייתי כדי לאכול, וכעת אני אוכלת כדי לחיות. נהגנו לאכול 85% מהזמן". לדבריה, מה שעזר להם לרדת במשקל היה בין היתר העובדה שהם החלו לבשל לעצמם ותכננו מראש ארוחות, מה שמנע מהם לבצע החלטות של הרגע האחרון ולפגוע בדיאטה.

"יום אחר יום וארוחה אחר ארוחה למדנו על תזונה והתמקדנו בדיאטה שלנו. למדנו שלעשות דיאטה לא אומר למנוע מעצמנו מאכלים מסוימים, ואנחנו יכולים לאכול גרסאות בריאות יותר של המאכלים שאנחנו אוהבים". לקסי, 26, אמרה שחלק מההצלחה שלהם קשורה גם למוטיבציה, כמובן, ולמרות ששניהם מאוד עסוקים, הם מצאו זמן מידי יום לאכול נכון ולעשות כושר.

לדבריה של לקסי, למרות שהשניים איבדו הרבה קילוגרמים, הם לא איבדו את הקשר והדיאטה אף קירבה ביניהם. "לא ידענו שתוך שנה ושישה חודשים נהיה זוג אחר לגמרי", הסבירה. "קילו אחרי קילו, צעד אחר צעד שינינו את חיינו ועיצבנו את עצמנו לאנשים שתמיד רצינו להיות". עבור מי שרוצה לעשות כמוהם, ולרזות, היא ממליצה להתמקד ב"שינויים קטנים בכל יום, לא במטרה הסופית. זה יכול להיות לא לשתות משקאות עתירי קלוריות, לאכול יותר ירקות, לעשות הליכות, או פשוט לזוז יותר באופן כללי. תתחילו בקטן ושינויים קטנים יהפכו לבסוף לתוצאה גדולה".

#mancrushmonday goes out to my husband, best friend, swole/soul mate, prom date, gym partner, high school sweet heart, and the man who made me who I am today @dannyreed5. Our wedding day was perfect and he always made me feel beautiful no matter what size. I wouldn't change a single thing about our wedding day & it was honestly one of the best days of my life! I dont regret getting married when I was 485lbs and I felt beautiful despite my size. My goal was to feel like a princess and even though finding a dress was a struggle - my size 34 dress was perfect for me. Together weve lost 392lbs together, but we gained a life! #husband #love #relationshipgoals #couplegoals #goals #fattofit #obesetobeast #beastmode #fedup #fatgirlfedupsdietbet #dietbet #losingweight #diet #fitness #fitfam #healthylifestyle #cleaneating #fitchick #fitcouple #gym #plussize #wedding #bride #marriage #weightloss #weightlossjourney

#swolematesunday -392lbs naturally since 1/1/2016. Last year at a combined total of 765lbs we were FEDUP with the life that we were living. We had been together for almost 10 years and knew if we wanted many more years together we had to get our health under control. We knew if we wanted to be parents and grow old together - we had to lose the weight. I could give you millions of reasons that I personally knew I had to change, but most of all - I didnt want to die. I didnt want to feel like a prisoner in my own body any longer. I didnt want to feel like I was letting myself down & I knew @dannyreed5 deserved a wife that could do the things he enjoyed and was healthy most of all. We didnt follow a meal plan, have surgery, have a trainer, and we were your average couple that ate fast food daily while avoiding exercising or watching television. We started cooking all of our own meals & stopped eating out, meal prepping for the work week, going to the gym together after work 5x a week for just 30 minutes of cardio, quit drinking our calories, setting goals, and focused on healthy choices every single day. Slowly but surely our bodies changed, and so did our lives. You dont have to be great to start, but you do have to start to be great. Start today! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- LAST DIETBET OF 2017 STARTS IN LESS THAN 2 WEEKS! Fedup & ready to change? Time to finish 2017 strong!

Sunday's are for rest days, meal prepping, cheat/treat meals, & dinner/movie dates with @discoveringdanny. Make time for you not only with the gym but with your life too. We work hard on our goals during the week but like to take time to focus on eachother too. We also try to disconnect from social media a bit when we can to focus on eachother. Find your balance with your healthy lifestyle! Tonight we also had his parents join us for some fun bonding time & saw Three Billboards Outside Ebbing Missouri. Todays cheat meal consisted of doughnuts & movie theater popcorn. We usually enjoy pizza or fried foods but I literally had not had a donut from my favorite spot in over 8 months. No regrets & back to it tomorrow! Hope everyone had a good weekend & remember- tomorrow is a new day no matter what happened this weekend! #weightloss #weightlossjourney #fattofit #obesetobeast #swolemate #love #selfie #sunday #sundayfunday #family #movies #fatgirlfedupsdietbet #cheatmeal #dietbet #donuts #caloriecounting #lowcarb #fitspo #motivation #fitfam #treatyoself #amc #couplegoals #relationshipgoals #restday #threebillboardsoutsideebbingmissouri
