SELFCONFESSED food addict, Johnna, grew up in a "family that loves to eat" and developed unhealthy bingeing habits from an early age. As this carried through into adulthood, she saw her weight rise to 357lbs at her heaviest. When she visited one of her favourite restaurants and the chair collapsed under her weight, the moment was "so embarrassing" that she decided to make a change. Johnna consulted a weight loss surgeon, who booked her in for gastric sleeve surgery and soon she was on the road to better health. But when Johnna unexpectedly fell pregnant just 18 months after her surgery (doctors recommend waiting at least two years) she had "every complication known to man" and her son was born 13 weeks premature with a "survival rate of 57%". Fortunately, Johnna is now mum to a happy, healthy 2yearold and since her ordeal she has put in place healthy living routines that have enabled her to lose an incredible 210lbs in total. But perhaps the greatest success for Johnna is that her transformation has enabled her to fully appreciate and enjoy motherhood: "Being a mum is the best thing ever, he's the best thing ever and my life is great right now."
