‘I was so overweight I couldn’t stand up for more than 5 mins - my five year old daughter thought I was dying’


Alicia Briggs was left bedbound and at her heaviest leaving her unable to stand for longer than a few minutes - but her turning point came after her daughter asked if she was dying

Fearing her children would find her dead on the bedroom floor, an obese mum of four has shared how she shed and incredible 15.7 stone and became a bodybuilding champion and fitness coach. "I was put on complete bed rest by a neurologist in February 2020 when I was having seizure-like episodes, and I couldn't fit in the MRI to get a clear scan," she remembered. Alicia has become a certified personal trainer and the founder of Butterflies and Dumbbells LLC, a coaching programme designed to help women become "healed, whole, and healthy."
