From obesity to the top of Kilimanjaro

Julia originally weighed in at 205 lbs (93 kg). She was obese and smoked heavily. She eventually took the decision to lose weight - and in her first year she lost 90 lbs. She became 'a skydiver, a para glider, a bungee jumper, a kayaker ...'.

Julia describes the moment that compelled her to transform her shape and her life. 'I just never wanted to say I coulda, woulda, shoulda'.
