A mum living with a "hidden illness" was told she could be dead in 12 months time if she didn't lose weight.
Fiona Foulder, 39, has lost over four stone after fearing she wouldn't be around to see her kids grow up. The 39-year-old, from Southport, suffers from brittle asthma - a term used to describe a severe form of the lung condition that causes breathing difficulties.
After piling on the pounds during her pregnancy with her second son, Fiona said she ended up in intensive care with her asthma. She spent the following years going in and out of hospital and was hooked up to a life support machine nine times.
