A British woman has shed almost four stone (54lbs) and regained her confidence on holiday thanks to a mobile phone app, which is currently offering 80% off its weight loss plans. Lesley Huntde-Perez is among the many users who have transformed their lives using the Simple app.

The app has built a loyal following with its personalised approach to weight loss and focus on realistic lifestyle changes. Instead of strict calorie counting or cutting out entire food groups, the app encourages small, sustainable habits that are easier to stick to long term.

Another user, Karen Heffernan, lost an incredible 14-and-a-half stone - more than half her body weight after starting at 26-and-a-half stone over the course of around 18 months. Reflecting on her journey, she said: "I can't believe it's actually been so simple."

"I've not felt deprived along the way, my motto just now is 'delay don't deny'." It's worth noting that new users can currently benefit from substantial savings, with up to 80% off plans using the code 'REACH', alongside a two-for-one offer that enables them to share their subscription with a friend or relative.

Simple claims its app is a clinically proven weight loss tool which has helped users shed more than 18 million pounds of weight. Moreover, it's straightforward to register, as new members simply need to complete a quiz and Simple then creates a plan tailored to them.

Each programme is customised to the user's objectives, daily schedule and personal preferences. It features practical tools including intermittent fasting monitoring, straightforward exercise guidance and effortless food logging - whether by typing, voice recording or photographing meals, reports The Mirror.

One particularly noteworthy feature is Avo, the app's AI coach, which delivers instant advice, meal suggestions and gentle motivation throughout the journey. Another user, Susan Rae, discovered it made a genuine difference, enabling her to remain committed and adopt healthier habits without feeling deprived.

She lost 'over 40 pounds and 40 inches' using the Simple app. She added: "I'm 15 pounds less than my goal weight today through no effort, no grinding, no obsessing."

For those seeking an alternative, there's Noom, a weight loss platform centred on mindful eating rather than restrictive diets. Alternatively, there's MyFitnessPal - a food and fitness tracker created to help individuals achieve their goals and monitor their nutritional consumption. Premium subscriptions are available, though certain features remain free on the app.

Boasting an overall average rating of 4.3 out of five on Trustpilot, Simple has secured an 'Excellent' score through favourable user feedback. One reviewer commented: "This app has helped motivate me to move and make better choices at each meal." A second said: "The encouragement I get is a tremendous help in this journey."

Others offered their thoughts, with one commenting: "I'm really enjoying this app but I honestly don't have the time sometimes to complete every task. The workouts are great and so are the reminders. If I could be dedicated, it would be more beneficial."

Another chimed in: "Great app, wish you could customise the drinks more." On the whole, however, the vast majority were satisfied with their experience. One further user remarked: "It is easy to use and the reminders are great."
