WOMAN LOSES 8ST AFTER ENERGY DRINK HABIT NEARLY BLINDS HER

Confronted with a terrifying future after being told she was going blind, Victoria vowed to shed the weight – and save her eyesight. Now the pretty brunette, of Newport Pagnell, Milton Keynes, weighs 11st 7lbs after slimming down to a svelte size 10.
