This morbidly obese couple had a combined weight of 765 pounds. Lexi weighed 485 pounds on her own, and her husband Danny weighed in at 280 pounds. After two years of hard work, the couple has lost 400 pounds together.

Lexi says that going through this weight loss journey together has been super helpful. When one of them is not motivated to go to the gym, the other would push so they would go. They also started meal prepping together and setting goals and before they knew it, as each day went by, they were meeting goals and grew closer as a couple through their journey.

The couple said that they were just plain fed up with the lives that they were living. When they started their weight loss journey, Lexi says that she started an Instagram account called 'fatgirlfedup' that has gained almost 500,000 followers who are inspired by Lexi and Danny's transformations.

Lexi said that she did not expect to have such an impact, that she just wanted to get healthy. One fitness trainer says that having a workout partner is key because you hold each other accountable and push each other to go out and give it everything you've got.

Lexi has gone from a size 28 to a size 10 and Danny has gone from a size 46 to a size 32. Lexi says that the hardest part of their journey was changing their relationship with good. She said when she was at her heaviest that she never cooked and would go out and eat pizza and if they did cook it would be frozen pizza or something else equally unhealthy.

"We found that by meal-prepping instead of relying on fast food, we were able to stick with our goals when we were at work. And by learning to cook our own meals we were in charge of what we were eating. We were willing to learn every single day of our journey and we also started using the gym as therapy instead of food. By changing our minds, habits and emotional triggers, we changed our lives."

Here, the couple shares a racy pic of the two of them who are celebrating their amazing transformation. Prior to Lexie losing an incredible 300 pounds, Danny would never have even attempted to lift his bride up the way he can now. Lexi says that there really aren't any words to explain how she feels about basically saving her own life. As she and Danny head into 2018, they have a new found happiness and no longer feel like prisoners in their own bodies.

She says, "I’m finally alive. Every day I wake up is a blessing." Now, this young woman weighs a healthy 182 pounds but has not quite met her target weight. She is determined to lose another 7 pounds by the end of the year.

"I’m ready to finish what I started in 2016 & hit my next goal of 175!" she says. "Get comfortable with being uncomfortable & always push yourself to step out of your comfort zone! Let’s finish 2017 strong." We wish you two all of the happiness in the world and best of luck in hitting your final goal weight.
