Sally’s Story: From Struggle to Success
Sally Osborn, a mother of two and a professional copy editor, faced significant challenges with her weight, especially after entering her sixties. Despite trying various methods that had worked in her younger years, Sally found herself at her heaviest weight, feeling miserable and struggling to find clothes that fit properly.
Initial Struggles
In December 2021, Sally weighed 93 kg (205 lbs) and wore a size 16-18. Her weight gain was compounded by depression, stress, and a lack of physical activity due to her husband’s illness. Sally’s health was deteriorating, with prediabetes, high blood pressure, and osteoarthritis making daily activities painful and exhausting.
Turning Point
Determined to change, Sally reached out to TRINITY Transformation, having previously lost weight with our help. We reassessed her situation and designed a personalized program to address her unique needs, incorporating nutrition, exercise, and mindset coaching.
Overcoming Challenges
Sally faced multiple obstacles on her journey:
- Admitting She Needed Help: Initially prompted by her doctor, Sally realized she couldn’t do it alone and sought our expertise.
- Time Management: Balancing a successful business and personal life was challenging. We helped her prioritize fitness and meal planning within her busy schedule.
- Age-Related Concerns: At 63, Sally worried she was too old to achieve her fitness goals. Our team provided encouragement and tailored strategies to suit her age and physical condition.
The Transformation
Two years later, Sally’s transformation is remarkable:
- Weight Loss: She lost 17 kg (37 lbs) and now wears a size 14.
- Health Improvements: Sally’s prediabetes and high blood pressure issues are resolved. She rarely experiences osteoarthritis pain and has significantly improved cardiovascular fitness.
- Lifestyle Changes: She walks 9,000 steps a day, works out regularly, and drinks alcohol only on special occasions. Her sleep quality and stress management have also improved.
- Increased Confidence: Sally now looks forward to seeing herself in photos and feels more energetic and positive.

Sally’s journey offers valuable insights for others facing similar challenges:
- Seek Professional Help: A private coach can provide personalized guidance and support.
