A woman who dramatically dropped from a size 20 to a size 12 has attributed her stunning weight loss of 76lbs to using a 60p-a-day app on her phone. User Debi has already lost 5.4 stone and is now 24lbs away from her target weight of 10 stone and credits her success to using the high-tech tool to transform her life.

She explained: "I went from a size 20 to a size 12, which is amazing! I still have 24lbs to go until I get to my goal of 140. But more importantly, I feel fabulous." Debi signed up for health app Simple, which is known for its AI-powered coaching and has released a discounted deal providing users with a bespoke 28-day workout scheme tailored to their needs.

Currently £17.99 reduced from £29.99, new users can save 40% when they sign up to dive into an all-inclusive fitness regime, working out at 60p per day.

Encompassing customised exercise sessions ranging from beginner-friendly workouts to those suitable for advanced fitness enthusiasts, instructional videos, progress monitoring, and dietary guidance, the plan gives a cohesive approach to combine physical activity and healthy nutrition when compared to other fitness apps like Noom or Fiit.

To start, fitness fans simply need to fill out a personalized quiz, after which Simple promises to take over guiding them towards their fitness goals, reports the Manchester Evening News.

Debi is not the only one who has seen positive results - Danielle Broadway, another user of the Simple App, managed to shed 72 lbs and attributes her success to the AI coach's words of encouragement and advice. She explained: "Having an AI coach right there, any time I needed, whatever time of day, helped me more than anything else."

Brianna Alexander, another user, lost 30lb. She said: "Using the app has really taught me about losing weight and how it affects your energy level and confidence. I used to constantly eat fast food, no veggies and fruit, but I've learnt so much."

The app has also received over 85,000 reviews via Google Play, boasting an impressive average rating of 4.5 stars out of five. One satisfied user praised the "brilliant app" for helping them lose 10lb.

"I wasn't even trying to lose weight; I just wanted to make healthier changes," they enthused. "The app has helped me make better choices, and I've cut out the snacking."

Another reviewer, who suffers from fibromyalgia and functional neurological disorder that can cause pain, fatigue and bowel problems, found the app to be a' safe and helpful way to understand how my body works and my relationship with food in real-time.' They added: "This is not a diet (but) a change of unhealthy habits, a useful way to expand your knowledge to better get to grips with your relationship with food," they said. "I needed help to reset and give me a good foundation to build on, and I've found it."

Another user commented: " This app does a great job explaining the concepts and ideas behind intermittent fasting. I find the science-based approach really easy to understand. The app itself is very easy to use and navigate. It's clear what you need to eat and when you should not eat."

However, it isn't all positive feedback. Some users complained that cancelling a subscription is difficult, while others noted that the app's latest update is "glitchy".

Still, if you're seeking a healthy and balanced method to lose weight and improve fitness, for many users Simple is a straightforward place to start. You can initiate the app's 28-day workout challenge here with a limited-time 60% discount now.

If you're not tech-savvy, you could always try food subscription boxes to help with weight loss goals.
