Behind personal trainer Jacqui Grant’s slim physique is a lifetime battle with obesity so severe it almost killed her.

After shedding two-thirds of her body, the Melbourne mum-of-two now weighs just 55kg and is a picture of happiness and health.

It’s hard to believe that only two-and-a-half years ago the 52-year-old former nurse faced a terrifying brush with death after tipping the scales at 158kg.

“I came home from my office job one day and said to my elder son, ‘I don’t feel right’ and went to bed without dinner,” Jacqui recalls. “It wasn’t long before I realised my heart rate was 120 beats per minute. I raced out and said, ‘We need to call an ambulance!’”

By the time paramedics arrived, Jacqui’s heart rate had risen to a frightening 160 beats per minute and kept soaring – eventually hitting a deadly 200 beats per minute by the time she arrived at hospital.
