#throwbackthursday to 485 lbs ago in the same gym. Throwback to the girl who walked into the gym with her head held high. Throwback to the girl who pushed herself to do 30 minutes of cardio on the elliptical five times a week and to be the hardest employee in the room. Throwback to the girl who chose she was fedup, started changing her lifestyle& learning to cook/ count calories and fought obesity. Throwback to the girl who had to mentally think about so many daily activities due to her weight it was exhausting. Throwback to the girl who decided to fight for their own lives, if merely she knew how much could change in less than a year 1/2. Love who ive been, and love even more who I’m becoming.

When Danny& I met at 16 years old( 10 years ago ), I weighed over 300 lbs. He never knew me as any less& never asked me to change. I however wanted to live a longer life with him, be healthy, and be able to have children in the future, Reed wrote.

The couple swapped take-out food and Netflix binges for healthier meal alternatives and trips to the gym together. Their weight loss also allowed them to partake in activities that werent possible before, like hiking, biking, riding roller coasters and traveling on airplanes.

We have dedicated this summer as our bucketlist summertime to do all the things we couldn’t do as captives in our own body, she wrote.

While Reed initially decided to lose weight in order to be healthy enough to have a newborn, she notes in her post that the transformation has been more than just physical.

What we didn’t realise is how losing the weight would change our lives, she wrote.
