Weight loss influencer Lexi Reed, 33, who almost DIED after suffering multiple organ failure that left her in a coma, proudly reveals her astonishing transformation after losing 100 pounds amid her recovery from a rare blood disease .

Weight loss influencer Lexi Reed has shown off her teasing figure after losing 100lbs following her battle with calciphylaxis, which left her with kidney failure and in a medically induced coma.

The 33-year-old Indiana woman, who rose to fame in 2016 after documenting her 312-pound weight loss, has revealed that she has lost 100 pounds while in remission from her rare disease, in which calcium builds up in small blood vessels in the fatty tissues and skin and causes blood clots.

She spoke candidly about her weight loss struggles, as well as her diagnosis, in an Instagram post, adding that her life has been turned “upside down.”

Lexi bragged about her weight loss on social media and shared that she was terrified she wouldn’t “survive” before noting that she’s so proud of herself for finding “the strength” to fight, even though “the odds are in against (his)’.

She wrote in the Instagram post: ‘Remission, 100 pounds, + my battle with calciphylaxis – a rare disease I was diagnosed with that completely changed my life and made me question how strong I really was.

“I personally had more than 30 painful open wounds and calciphylaxis had a mortality rate of more than 80% due to infection (the main cause of death), I was afraid that I would not survive.”

He showed off his 100-pound weight loss in a mirror selfie and explained that he’s been fighting hard to stay alive.

Last year, Lexi underwent 59 weeks of treatment for the wounds covering her body.

Now, he shared that he was able to overcome his “pain” and “fear.”

‘However, through the pain and fear, I discovered that my strength to live and heal was more powerful than focusing on the odds against me and I fought as hard as I could to survive one of the toughest battles of my life.

‘This image shows more than just the weight I lost, but also taking back the fight to live, heal, and refuse to take life for granted.

‘Sometimes life knocks us down and makes us question how strong we really are, but the most important thing is not to give up despite what we face or fear – start today!’ the weight loss influencer

He noted that he will “never take the opportunity to move for granted.”

Lexi began her weight loss journey in 2016 when she weighed 485 pounds.

In 2022, she was admitted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) with unexplained kidney failure and had to be placed in a medically induced coma.

She was put on a ventilator and forced into a medically induced coma, leaving her unable to walk.

He underwent dialysis and spent a lot of time in a wheelchair.

Lexi’s husband Danny revealed via Instagram that she had been hospitalized after she “couldn’t keep food down” and started “acting differently.”

“A few weeks ago, Lexi kept getting sick and couldn’t keep food down,” he wrote at the time.

“Then she started acting differently, so I took her to the hospital where they admitted her to the ICU, put her in a medically induced coma, on a ventilator and (I was told) her organs started to fail.

‘I was also told that if I had waited, she may have died. She is currently on dialysis, she cannot walk and is working on her recovery.

‘Unfortunately we don’t have insurance. Thank you all for your prayers, they all mean a lot to us and this will be a long, hard part of her story, but she is strong!’

She also wrote on a GoFundMe page created for Lexi, where they have raised more than $60,000, that she is waiting to find out if she needs a kidney or liver transplant.

Lexi and Danny rose to fame in 2016 after their weight loss story went viral.

The couple, who said “I do” in 2015, weighed a combined 765 pounds and consumed a total of 8,000 calories a day before making a New Year’s resolution to lose weight.

They swapped fast food for homemade food and started going to the gym five to six times a week. In two years, Lexi went from 485 pounds to 173 pounds, while Danny lost 95 pounds from her 208-pound body.

“We didn’t have a diet plan, surgery, personal trainer, but what we did have was each other and the internal motivation to work hard every day,” she wrote in an inspiring Instagram post in 2017.

Lexi noted that they had no idea that six months after their resolution they would become a “completely different couple.”

‘We may have lost weight, but we’ve gotten closer. Pound by pound, step by step, day by day – we have transformed our lives and shaped our bodies to become the people we always wanted to be,” she shared.

Lexi ended the post with a tribute to her husband, explaining that Danny has always loved and supported her no matter her weight.

In 2018, she underwent a nine-hour surgery to remove seven pounds of excess skin from her body with the intention of having more removed in the future.

For the past eight years, Lexi has been chronicling the ups and downs of her weight loss journey on her Instagram page, which has been a source of inspiration to millions.

In September, she shared photos of herself at her heaviest and now, explaining that she regained some of the weight she had lost during the COVID-19 pandemic.

“I’m still happy to be alive after fearing I would miss my 30s and never get back to where I was,” she wrote. ‘Start today!’
