Barbara’s Background and Initial Challenges
Barbara, a resident of the picturesque village of Ashover in Derbyshire, had always led a busy life juggling work, family, and social commitments.
However, as she approached 50, the pressures of tough family losses and the onset of menopause led to a gradual yet noticeable weight gain.
Despite being active and enjoying outdoor activities like walking in the Peak District, Barbara found herself struggling to control her increasing weight.
The Turning Point: Discovering TRINITY Transformation
Barbara’s turning point came when she repeatedly saw an advert for TRINITY Transformation on YouTube. Initially sceptical and dismissive, she eventually decided to take a leap of faith.
In her words, she thought, “It can’t possibly be the case that I could lose weight at this point in my life.”
Yet, something within her said, “Sod it,” and she decided to give it a try.
Implementing the TRINITY Program
Barbara began her TRINITY journey in September, signing up for a 12-week program with modest goals: to lose a stone (14 pounds) and fit comfortably into a size 10.
What unfolded was beyond her expectations.
Within a few weeks, she had already lost a stone, and by Christmas, she had exceeded her initial goal and lost 2 stone.
The program’s structure, which included weekly coaching calls, online exercise classes, and dietary adjustments, provided the support and accountability she needed.
Key Elements of Barbara’s Success:
- Structured Support: Weekly coaching calls with her coach, Clodagh, who provided guidance and motivation.
- Dietary Adjustments: Understanding the importance of protein and mindful eating habits.
- Regular Exercise: Participating in online exercise classes that fit into her busy schedule.
- Mindfulness Practices: Incorporating daily meditation to manage stress and improve overall well-being.
Overcoming Obstacles and Achieving Goals
Barbara faced several challenges, including adapting to dietary changes and maintaining her exercise routine amidst a hectic lifestyle.
However, her determination and the continuous support from TRINITY coaches helped her stay on track.
She learned to be kind to herself, understanding that perfection isn’t the goal, but consistency and mindful choices are.

The benefits extended beyond physical appearance; she gained more energy, improved her mental health, and found a better work-life balance.
Her newfound strength and confidence were evident in her daily activities and interactions.
