Sarah Glascoe has shared her delight after losing 2.5 stone with the help of Simple, an AI-powered wellness app that’s transforming the way people approach weight loss. After having her first child at 18, she found herself gradually gaining weight with each pregnancy.

“Despite being a busy mum and trying countless diets and fitness plans, nothing ever worked long term,” she admits. But everything changed one evening in July 2025 when she came across the Simple app and decided to give it a try.

The Simple app focuses on realistic, science-backed lifestyle changes rather than extreme diets. The app has already helped millions of users build healthier habits — and right now, customers can get 60% off Simple Weight Loss plans with the code REACH60.

This offer includes access to personalised daily workouts, expert nutritional advice, and Avo – the app’s built-in AI wellness coach that provides real-time guidance and motivation around the clock. Glascoe is living proof of this as within her first week of using the app, after weighing 14 stone, she lost five pounds and noticed an increase in her energy levels.

“To date, I’ve now lost 36 pounds and dropped three dress sizes,” she explains. “I now love shopping for clothes again! Under my GP’s advice, I’ve reduced my blood pressure medication and stopped taking cholesterol tablets altogether. I’m sleeping better, feeling healthier inside and out, and happier than I’ve been in years,” reports the Mirror.

How the app works is after completing a detailed onboarding survey, users receive personalised coaching, including food logging (by text, voice, or photo), an intermittent fasting tracker and a NutriScanner, which helps nutritional values in meals at home or while dining out. Simple also generates custom seven-day workout plans tailored to each user’s goals and fitness level from strength training and cardio to gentle chair yoga.

The app’s smart assistant, Avo, acts like a personal wellness coach, offering instant guidance on recipes, workouts, and healthy habits. Glascoe says she incorporated fasting into her daily routine with the app. “I naturally started making healthier choices, and the weight kept coming off. Soon, I could walk further without needing my asthma inhaler, and exercise began to feel easier and more enjoyable,” she recalls.

“I’m sleeping better, feeling healthier inside and out, and happier than I’ve been in years,” she adds. “I still have one stone to lose to reach my goal, but I know fasting will stay a part of my life for good.”

For those seeking alternatives, Noom is a weight loss platform that emphasises mindful eating rather than strict dieting. Using a science-based approach, it offers personalised, engaging courses, with pricing depending on the plan and user. Another option is MyFitnessPal, a calorie-tracking app designed to help users meet their nutritional goals. It costs around £15.99 a month, though some features are available for free.

It is easy to track your actions. There’s nothing be thing needs attention. Is important to be able to go back and correct when logging info.”

Another wrote: “So far so good. I’ve lost 5lbs. Eating healthy is the keep and hitting you burning stage.” A handful of others deducted a star and said: “Too many notifications during the day.”

Overall, the response was great as this person wrote: “The program and especially the app were perfect for me. I’ll be 70 years this month(Nov.) It was easy to follow. 28 pounds off since July 1st. More flexibility and stamina. I am enjoying the journey.”
