Trinity Case Study:
How Rachel Lost 67lbs During Menopause
Rachel Hillier (52), Lawyer
“I’ve lost 30kg (67lbs) and gone from a size 18–20 to a size 12/14. I’m the same weight and size I was 20 years ago and I feel physically and mentally stronger than ever.”
Rachel joined Trinity at 50 years old, wearing size 18–20 clothes and feeling completely stuck after decades of dieting. Despite a successful career as a partner in a law firm and a busy family life with teenage daughters, her health and confidence had hit rock bottom – she avoided mirrors, cameras and even physical activities she once loved. After joining Trinity everything began to change, losing an incredible 30kg (67lbs), reduced her waist by 21cm, but more importantly she feels stronger, healthier and more optimistic about the future than ever before.

The 4 Steps Rachel Followed to Lose 67lbs in Her 40s...
Rachel came to us as a self-confessed “professional dieter”, having lost weight before but always regaining it rapidly – she was skeptical she could ever keep the weight off, especially now she was in her 50s going through hormonal changes. However, with an approach that was right for both her body and lifestyle, Rachel has made changes that have stuck for good.
Step 1 – Flexible Hormone-Specific Plan
Working as a partner in a law firm often travelling to London from Cardiff for work events, Rachel didn’t think she had the time or headspace to prioritise her health. However, by working precisely with Rachel’s body and hormones we were able to make everything as efficient and flexible as possible. We gave her just 3 short strength workouts a week (building up gradually, as it’s not something she’d ever done before). We made sure Rachel could do these workouts from home or even a small hotel room, and helped her make nutritious choices that were quick and easy during long 13-hour workdays.
Step 2 – Pro-Active Stress Management
If working as a lawyer and travelling halfway across the country regularly wasn’t enough, Rachel also went through a stressful divorce from her husband who was struggling with alcoholism during her time with Trinity. During times of stress Rachel previously turned to food and drink to cope, but we taught Rachel cutting edge mindset techniques she could use anywhere to reduce stress levels and make better choices (she was skeptical at first – but she found this was a game-changer for her!). This meant Rachel is now able to stay consistent even through the most stressful times.
Step 3 – Coaching and Accountability
Throughout Rachel’s journey there were constant challenges – a broken foot, divorce proceedings, long unpredictable work weeks, countless work events (where food was chosen for you) and more. Rachel’s coach worked with her so she had a plan of action for every event, and if someone didn’t go to plan, worked together to find an different approach for next time. Rachel’s now not just 5 stone down and living life to the fullest, but she’s also replaced her old quick-fix dieting tactics with healthy habits that will last a lifetime.

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.”
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’!”
