Trinity Case Study:
How Kelli Went From A Size 18 To A Size 8 In 9 Months
Kelli Wolfe (49), University Manager
“After only 7 months on Trinity, I’ve not only achieved my weight reduction goal, but I’ve also gained a tremendous amount of strength and stamina that I thought would be beyond me at 49. I feel strong, sexy and excited about life again!”
Approaching her 49th birthday, Kelli felt like her body and energy had completely fallen apart. Years of stress, chronic migraines, IBS and a demanding job had left her exhausted, clinically obese and wearing size 18 clothes she described as “tents”. Exercise felt impossible – she couldn’t do a single push-up, her core had never recovered after a C-section and even light weights seemed impossible. After joining Trinity, however, everything began to change. She lost over 20kg (3 stone), ditched her 18s for size 8s and stronger than she ever expected at this stage of life, now doing full push ups and playing 5-a-side football every week!

The 4 Steps Kelli Followed to Lose 3 Stone in Her 40s...
When Kelli joined us, she’d spent 3 years of effort to barely lose 3kg using generic dieting methods. She wondered if this was just a part of getting older. However, with an approach that was appropriate for Kelli’s body and hormones, and busy work schedule, we were quickly able to turn things around and get Kelli feeling back to her best.
Step 1 – Diet Makeover
We started by breaking poor nutrition habits. Kelli was relying on snacks and convenience foods to get through the day, which weren’t filling her up, so she was then over-eating at mealtimes too! She was also eating certain foods that were triggering her IBS and menopause symptoms, including regular migraines. These were all making work and family life difficult to cope with. By identifying and changing these foods, the IBS, migraines and menopause symptoms became manageable so she felt able to start exercising more and the weight loss followed fast…
Step 2 – Rebuilding Strength From Scratch
Kelli was very sedentary due to long work hours. Kelli knew lifting weights was the best form of exercise for women around menopause, but she was scared and didn’t know where to start due to previous injuries and a core that had never fully recovered from a C-section. We helped her rebuild her strength from scratch, starting slowly with exercise tailored to her. We gave her just 3 short workouts a week that she could fit in around her busy work schedule. Now Kelli’s core stability is back, she can do full push ups and lift close to her bodyweight – in under a year!
Step 3 – Coaching and Accountability
Parenting, career responsibilities and daily stress meant Kelli felt she had no mental space to manage health properly. However, we’re used to working with busy professional women juggling work, family and hormonal changes. Simone helped simplify Kelli’s plan so she just had a couple of things to work on each week, building up healthy habits gradually, and supporting Kelli to stick to them even when curveballs came her way. This is why Kelli was able to lose 20kg in a fifth of the time it took her to lose 3kg on her own!

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.”
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.”
42lbs Down At Age 48
“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’!”
