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.

00:00Hi, my name is Lexi and I used to weigh 485 pounds.
00:14So last time I weighed in with you guys, I weighed 171.2 pounds, which is the lowest
00:20I've ever been in my adult life.
00:22So today I want to do a weigh in with you guys to see where we're at.
00:26You know, there's only two months left of 2024 and also it's not about the memory scale.
00:33Like this comeback for me is so personal for everything I went through.
00:37I battled a rare disease called calciflaxis that left me with over 30 opinions in my body.
00:43I faced re-gain, like so many different things and I'm still here and I'm still fighting
00:48and I want you to know that if I can do it, you can do it too.
00:51So come with me, let's see where we're at.
