This inspirational couple have lost an incredible 22 stone in just one year

Initially, Danny and Lexi weighed 20 stone and 34 stone respectively. This excess weight had disastrous consequences on their health and in January 2016, Lexi decided it was time to change!

An Instagram account

Lexi set out to create an Instagram account to track their lifestyle change. She posted the first picture of her and her husband and explained the difficulties she has experienced so far. She expressed her insecurities and opened up about their relationship with food:

That's what our relationship was like. Most of the time, we would go to a Chinese buffet and eat three-four plates before going home and ordering takeout. My size controlled my life and it also affected my health. I had difficulty breathing and I'm almost sure I'm pre-diabetic. People don't understand how difficult being overweight is. Once, I was refused a ride at a theme park because I was too big to ride on a roller coaster. It was humiliating.

A radical lifestyle change

The couple was motivated to start eating healthier and exercise. Lexi shares her daily life and her results on Instagram. Their efforts quickly paid off and the first pounds fell off. Now, even though the couple isn't done fighting the weight, they have already gained a better quality of life and continue to inspire many others.
