How Sarah Lost 45.5lbs Around Menopause With Fit Over 40
Case Study: Sarah Davies
“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 so 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.” – Sarah Davies
Before Sarah joined she was drinking most nights, using it to deal with the stress of being a busy working mum. Her weight had hit an all-time high and she was constantly tired, unfocused and grouchy around her family. In Christmas 2019 She decided enough was enough and joined Trinity. Since then she’s completely changed her relationship with alcohol, has lost over 45lbs and is fitting comfortably into size 8s!
How Sarah Achieved These Results
Step 1 – The Diet Makeover
Over the first 2 weeks, we helped Sarah reduce cravings for unhealthy foods and alcohol by eliminating problem food groups from her diet. This allowed her to start seeing results from day 1, which made it easy for her to stay motivated.
Step 2 – Low Impact Strength Training (LIST)
We gave Sarah a workout programme to follow which consisted of 3 LIST sessions per week which she completed from home with basic equipment. LIST involves lifting weights in a slow and controlled way for fast and sustainable weight loss while toning up the body and improving strength.
Step 3 – Hormonally Balanced Eating
For women over 40, it’s important to avoid extreme dieting approaches as these can lead to increased levels or cortisol – the stress hormone. Sarah followed a moderate approach which avoided restricting her food intake and food choices and worked with her changing hormones to deliver fast results.
Step 4 – Coaching and Accountability
To put all of this into action, Sarah had the guidance of Trinity Coach Ben Hughes, to make sure she was always on track and always seeing results. Sarah’s journey was not plain sailing, but whenever she has challenges, her coach was on hand to solve those issues and avoid them derailing her progress.

7.5 Stone Down At Age 48
“I was originally a size 20/22 and am now wearing a size 8-10. I’ve lost over 7.5 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!”
