A mum-of-five lost eight stone after two blood clots and a premature labour left her in intensive care and fearing for her life - and now makes £70k a year helping others slim. Deborah Adams, 49, tipped the scales at 20st 8lbs but was determined to shift the pounds after she had to be resuscitated following a blood clot scare.
Her son, Cruz, seven, was born at 31 weeks, because of a blood clot on Deborah's lung which forced her into premature labour. Both Cruz and Deborah survived the ordeal but Deborah vowed to lose the weight after the scare.
