6. Two years ago, Lexi Reed, 26, of Terre Haute, Indiana weighed 485lbs while her husband Danny clocked in at 280lbs. Before they embarked on their weight loss journey together in January 2016, he never would have been able to pick her up with such ease.
7. Lexi, who has amassed more than 450,000 Instagram followers, posted the snapshot of Danny holding her in his arms alongside a picture of them standing together before they slimmed down.
8. The couple's incredible weight loss story went viral in February, and nearly a year later they are just as fit and in love as before. In her post, Lexi explained that in 2016 they set a New Year's resolution to lose weight once and for all. 'We didn't have a meal plan, surgery, personal trainer, but what we did have was each other and the motivation within to work hard every single day,' she wrote. 'We wanted to be parents in the future and live a longer life together.'
9. Lexi noted that they had no idea that six months into their resolution they would become a 'completely different couple.'

11. Lexi went on to pay tribute to her husband, explaining that Danny has always loved and supported her no matter what her weight. 'This man has been by my side for the last 10 years and treated me no different at 485lbs than he does at 182lbs,' she said. '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!'!
12. The couple, who said 'I do' in 2015, weighed a combined 765lbs and gorged on a total of 8,000 calories a day before they shed half of their body weight in just 12 months. They traded fast-food for home cooked meals and started going to the gym five-six times a week. Lexi also began regularly attending Zumba classes.

13. Lexi regularly updates her Instagram page to show how far she has come, and last week recalled how someone asked her what she told herself the night before she started her weight loss journey on January 1, 2016. Sharing her response to the question, Lexi wrote: 'Tomorrow is the first day of the rest of your life. Are you going to just keep talking about losing the weight or are you just going to do it? No more excuses. No more fear.
14. 'You don't have to live this way for the rest of your life Lexi. You are in charge of your future so go in that gym and show every single person that stares or doubts you what you're made of. Prove them wrong & lets do this once and for all.'
