A health journey that became a weight loss transformation
For many people, a weight loss transformation starts with losing weight. For David and Emma Cole, it became something much bigger. Their weight loss transformation saw them lose a combined 17 stone and completely change how they live and work.
Small changes behind their weight loss transformation
Emma’s journey happened alongside David’s, with her losing 5 stone.
Together, they focused on improving their daily routines. This included changes to nutrition, movement, recovery and mindset.
There was no overnight success.
“There’s no magic switch,” David says. “It’s about making better decisions day after day. Over time, those decisions add up.”

More than just weight loss
As their health improved, so did other areas of their lives.
They had more energy. Their focus improved. Their confidence grew.
Like many business owners, they had previously put work first and their wellbeing last. Their transformation changed that.
“When you run a business, it’s easy to put yourself last,” Emma says. “But we realised that if we wanted everything else to work, we had to look after ourselves first.”
Their weight loss transformation was not about extremes, but about building habits that lasted.
Building a lifestyle after their weight loss transformation
That mindset shift led to a bigger change.
Now based in Cornwall, David and Emma Cole run Tawnamoor Rural Retreat. It is a countryside space designed to help people slow down, reconnect and step away from daily pressures.
The retreat is built around their own experience.
“This isn’t just a business idea,” David says. “It’s how we live now. We wanted to create a space where others could experience that too.”

A growing focus on wellbeing and lifestyle change
Their story reflects a wider shift in how people view health and success.
More people are moving away from extremes and focusing on balance and long-term wellbeing.
For David and Emma, the weight loss was only the beginning.
“We didn’t just lose weight,” Emma says. “We changed the way we live completely.”
