Trinity Case Study:
How Anu Lost 44lbs In Perimenopause
Anu Anand (48), Teacher
“Now I’m 60-61kgs and a dress size 10. I look and feel like my pre-pregnancy self. My friends and family say I look like I did before or how I looked when they first met me in UK (2002). I have no knee pain, no feet pain. I used to open the wardrobe and think ‘what fits’ and hated that. I now look in my wardrobe and it’s ‘what shall I wear today’!”
Anu, a school teacher and single mum – was battling knee pain, low energy, and a loss of confidence. Perimenopause had changed her body, and nothing seemed to work despite eating healthy and exercising. She joined TRINITY feeling sceptical but desperate for a solution. Now, 20kg lighter and a strong, toned size 10, she’s pain-free, lifting weights, dancing solo, and even dating again. She’s not just back to her pre-pregnancy self – she’s stronger, happier, and more confident than ever.

The 4 Steps Anu Followed to Drop 3 Dress Sizes in Her 40s...
Anu thought she was doing everything right. She had qualified as a personal trainer before becoming a teacher, and couldn’t understand why the weight kept piling on. However, she was trying generic dieting approaches that didn’t work with her changing hormones during perimenopause. We changed her approach to work with her body and the hormonal weight came off rapidly.
Step 1 – Hormonally Balanced Eating
We helped Anu identify certain foods which were affecting her body differently around menopause, causing her bloating, inflammation andsevere joint aches and pains. We helped her cut them out for a short period of time, before finding a balance where she could still enjoy them occasionally, without it disrupting her progress or making her pain return.
Step 2 – Hormone- & Joint-Friendly Workouts (LIST)
Anu knew about strength training having been a personal trainer before becoming a teacher, but she wasn’t following a structured program. She was doing random workouts, and it wasn’t getting her any results despite exercising regularly. By giving Anu a structured program taking into account her painful knees and feet, Anu’s body started to respond again – toning up and losing fat from her mid-section.
Step 3 – Coaching and Accountability
Between working long hours as a teacher and life as a single mum, Anu didn’t have the headspace to figure out what to focus on with her exercise and nutrition choices. Natasha, Anu’s coach, helped simplify everything to just a couple of simple actions each week, so Anu could see rapid progress without feeling overwhelmed. Natasha was also by Anu’s side every step of the way, so if Anu had a tough week, it wouldn’t derail her for long. This meant she could stay consistent where previously she’d have given up on her own, meaning Anu went on to lose 44lbs, go from a size 16 to a 10, start salasa classes and even resume dating due to her newfound confidence!

7 ½ Stone Down At Age 48
“I was originally a size 20/22 and am now wearing a size 8-10. I’ve lost over 7 ½ stone and gone from BMI of over 40, classed as severely obese, to a BMI of 22, well within the healthy range.
Everything has changed – not just my body but my attitude, my confidence, my energy – everything. I know these changes are not short term, they are for good. My brain feels rewired and the mindset work was the key for me.”
Size 14 -> Size 8 At Age 57
“I had got really out of control in terms of my weight, my health and my stress levels. When I joined TRINITY I was a proper size 14. I’m now a size 8 which is beyond what I wanted to achieve.
My marriage is a lot better, I’m much happier with that side of things. Work wise, we’ve had the best year profit wise that we’ve ever had and I don’t think it can be just a coincidence – the thing that’s changed is me!”
45lbs Down At Age 44
“I’ve gone from 11st 3.5 to 8 stone! I bought my first size 8 clothes and still amazed they fit. I’m now a role model to my kids. They see how much effort I put in and see and comment on how well I have done.
I never feel hungover anymore so I’m always ready for the day whatever happens and I have been able to help out with all of my family, including late night trips to hospital. I feel empowered and strong, and ready to make bigger choices, own my life and get back to being me.”
4st 8lbs Down At 65
“It’s been a real transformation – not only how I look but in how I feel, how I think about myself, and in my health too. I’ve lost 29kg (4st 8lb)!
More important than the weight loss itself, my health has vastly improved. I’m no longer prediabetic, and my blood pressure and cholesterol are at normal levels. I’m fitter and more flexible than I’ve been since I was in my 20s, and I no longer get out of breath walking upstairs.”
5 Stone Down At Age 52
“I know it’s a cliche, but Trinity has actually transformed my life. I’ve lost 30kg. I’ve lost 21 cm around my waist, 5cm around my arms and 12cm round my thighs.
I joined to lose weight. What I didn’t expect was for my life to change quite so much and for the better.”
