誰說新年計畫是寫來「純觀賞」用的？！據英國《獨立報》（The Independent）報導，一對美國印第安納州（Indiana）的肉肉夫妻因奉行兩人在2016年許下的新年甩油大作戰，成功在18個月內合力甩掉身上一半的重量，也就是392磅（約176.4公斤）。

不過2年前，26歲來自特雷霍特市（Terre Haute）的棉花糖女孩萊克西（Lexi Reed）體重重達485磅（約218.2公斤），她的丈夫丹尼（Danny Reed）體型雖然小一號，但體重也達到280磅（約126公斤）。

 

#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!

為了身體健康著想及往後成為父母做打算，兩人在2016年的新年決心展開減肥計畫，並開始天天上健身房報到。同時間，這對合計共765磅的夫妻檔決定放棄過去以速食為主、每日卡路里高達8000大卡的飲食習慣，改在家下廚，一周也會花5到6天的時間去健身房運動，最後萊克西成功甩掉303磅。

「我們並沒有一套減肥餐、也不靠手術或私人健身教練的幫助，我們有的是彼此及發自內在每日勤奮健身的決心。」萊克西說道。

 

Made time to get a work out in tonight with my swolemate @discoveringdanny! We didn't have time to hit the gym until 10pm together but pushed eachother to go get it done for just 30 mins! You won't always have the time - you will have to make the time. Tomorrow is a new day to be great and a chance to finish November with no excuses! Never give up on yourself & keep fighting my friends! #weightloss #weightlossjourney #fattofit #obesetobeast #fit #fitfam #workout #couplegoals #relationshipgoals #love #health #progress #workout #motivation #goals #pushyourself #noexcuses #fatgirlfedupdietbet #fattofit #couples #fitcouple #traintogether #anytimefitness #gym #gymlife

而18個月來萊克西也透過社群媒體Instagram記錄這趟瘦身之旅，她透露當初完全沒想到減肥竟能意外拉近兩人的距離。但在扎扎實實執行新年計畫6個月後，他們已「變身為全然不同的夫妻檔了。」萊克西強調在兩人之間減少的只有身上的體重，「關係反倒是更親密了。」

 

 

#throwbackthursday to 485lbs & @discoveringdanny proposing to me at sunset on Clearwater Beach. He never saw me as my size, asked me to change, or made me feel as anything other than beautiful. He treated me the same way at 485lbs that he does at 182lbs. Love doesn't have a size or weight limit. He saw the person I was on the inside and supported me while I made that person on the side match my outside. Surround yourself with those who lift you higher and see the greatness in you even when you dont see it yourself! #weightloss #weightlossjourney #fatgirlfedupdietbet #love #florida #clearwaterbeach #sunset #fitspire #fitcouple #relationshipgoals #couplegoals #fattofit #obesetobeast #beastmode #fitfam #fitspo #inspire #motivation #fitnessmotivation #gym #wedding #engagement #transform #fitspo #diet #extremeweightloss #transformation

萊克西希望透過分享自己的故事鼓勵更多人走出舒適圈，勇敢挑戰自己。她本人則不為現狀所滿足，打算繼續減重，並在2018年到來前再甩7磅，「我已經準備好完成我2016年開始的計畫並朝下一階段175磅的目標邁進」。
