Lexi’s before and after photos are nothing short of jaw-dropping and mega-inspirational. What a change she’s made to her health. Knowing that they could’ve taken this wonderful path so much sooner had they been able to find the inspiration, Danny and Lexi have dedicated themselves to being that motivating force for other people.
The genuine love and human kindness the pair offer through their channel got them an invite to the Screen Actors Guild Awards in 2018. Their story is so inspirational it really cannot be shared enough. Lexi thought it would take her years to shed the 300+ pounds she needed to lose to be in a healthy weight range yet the determined young woman, with that endless fountain of positivity, was able to do it in just two.
Finally Free
Having finally reached a healthy weight in a sustainable way, Lexi was able to admit that she had once felt like a prisoner, trapped inside her own body. While it was easy to simply fall into denial at the time and bury the feelings in food and distractions like TV, Lexi says she sees her former self with so much more clarity now.
Every new day feels like a victory to her now. What a way to wake up every morning! In Lexi’s words: “I loved myself even at 485 pounds, but just to be able to wake up and do whatever I want to do and go wherever I want to go… I don’t feel like I’m a prisoner in my own body anymore.”
Lexi Shares Tips and Advice
With the bulk of her weight loss journey now behind her (though, of course, her new habits will be with her for life), Lexi has done something truly admirable. She has shifted her attention almost fully from her own needs to those of others. Lexi has stepped up her work on Instagram in inspiring others, sharing pictures, inspirational messages, and the journeys of others who are on the same path she is.
While Lexi has a wealth of knowledge now and is full of golden advice, here’s one of our favorite quotes from this inspirational lady: “Start small — small changes add up to big results — and focus on each day, not how far you have to go.” And, if you’re hoping for magic pills or quick fixes, take it from Lexi, the only way to achieve lasting results as incredible as hers is to go the natural way (you know, the one filled with hard work and dedication). Nothing worth having is ever earned the easy way.
Reaping the Rewards
Pictured here on their wedding day and then a little over two years later at the Screen Actors Guild Awards, the difference this pair has made in their lives is so apparent. To Lexi, this change was nothing short of life-saving: “Every day I wake up is a blessing. I’m so proud of how far I’ve come and this new life that I’m living. I saved my own life and for that, there are no words — only gratitude.”
As far as Danny and Lexi are concerned, they were alive before, sure, but they weren’t truly living. Now, fuelled by the abundant energy that has resulted from their newfound healthy lifestyle, the pair have some exciting new developments to announce.
Stepping Out in Style on Hollywood’s Red Carpet
With her remarkable transformation out in the public eye and garnering so much love and attention, Lexi was selected by TNT Drama and L’Oreal Paris as an “inspiring strong woman of 2018.” Along with this honor came an invitation for both Lexi and Danny to make an appearance at the Screen Actors Guild awards that same year.
As you can imagine, it was both a delight and a shock to Lexi. Just a few years earlier and she would’ve dreaded the idea of picking a dress and trying to fit into a plane seat, let alone being seen on the red carpet among the impossible perfection of celebrities. Yet, here she was having a blast picking out a gorgeous, figure-hugging dress, rubbing shoulders with the rich and famous, enjoying a luxury hotel… and maintaining her health and fitness regime like a champion.
