A mum-of-two who weighed 27 stone lost almost half her body weight after medics told her she'd otherwise soon be dead.
Rushed to hospital with heart failure in January 2019, Colleen Alway recalled how, at her bedside, her family were even advised to help her "get her affairs in order" because she didn't have long left to live.
"I'd been having trouble breathing and when the doctors ran some tests they told me only 15% of my heart was actually still functioning," said the 48-year-old from Margam in Neath Port Talbot, whose overeating and more than 40-a-day smoking habit had left her barely able to walk.
