"I stuck to New Year's resolution and lost 320lbs - I love showing off my new body"
A woman stuck to her New Year's resolution, dropped 320lbs and is embracing a rare condition and showing off her new body. Lexi Reed, 34, tipped the scales at 485lbs at her heaviest and was bursting out of a size 28. At her biggest Lexi struggled to fit into restaurant booths, was too big to ride on rollercoasters and couldn't buy clothes in the stores she wanted to shop in as they didn't stock her size. Her best friend, Cheyenne, 34, a customer service rep, challenged her to 30 days of no eating out, no cheat meals, no alcohol or soda - encouraging her to exercise and change her eating habits. It proved to be the motivation Lexi needed and she shed about 23 pounds in her first month before going on to lose 312lbs in the following two years.
