Full Story
Fitness influencer Lexi Reed isn’t letting her weight define her. Known online as “Fat Girl Fed Up,” she recently shared on Instagram that she didn’t reach her goal of losing under 200 pounds. But instead of dwelling on it, Lexi found a silver lining.
She shared, “I weighed in this morning at 200.2. So close, so close! They say once you start getting close to something, that’s why it starts getting harder, right?”
Lexi is all about progress, no matter how small. She lost eight pounds in total this week and is proud of her hard work. She added, “I didn’t gain all that weight overnight, I’m not gonna lose it overnight either. So keep going, no matter what.”
Lexi is determined to reach her goals. “I will get to wonderland,” she said. “Whether it’s next week or next year, we’re gonna get there, eventually. Keep going, believe in yourself, progress not perfection.”
She later posted screenshots of her fitness progress. “I may not have hit a certain number, but I gave it 100% and that’s the real win,” she wrote.
Lexi has been open about her weight loss journey and the health struggles she’s faced. Last year, she was diagnosed with calciphylaxis—a rare disease in which calcium accumulates in small blood vessels of the fat and skin tissues.
Despite her health challenges, Lexi has remained positive throughout her journey. “Every scar is proof that I’ve been fighting for my life and against all odds, but this is healing and I’m not giving up no matter what calciphylaxis throws at me,” she said.
Lexi isn’t the only star to share her fitness inspiration. Other celebs also stay motivated in the gym.
Kate Hudson, for instance, likes to dance to stay fit. “I always move, even for a few minutes each day. Sometimes I’ll go into a room, turn up the music and just dance. It’s a great way to let loose and feel great,” she said.
DJ Khaled enjoys golfing. He said, “I do it every day and I get a chance to sit on the golf cart or walking about to answer an email or a call and handle my business. It’s so much [more] pleasurable, meaning [being around] the nature, the sun. It cleanses me.”
Lana Condor prefers playing VR games. “Honestly, my favorite way to break a sweat right now is playing VR. We got a virtual reality headset right as everything was shutting down and it’s been AMAZING during quarantine. There are so many games that make you work up a sweat and it’s so awesome. I am genuinely so sore after I play,” she shared.
