Laci Gilbert, a mum who started her weight loss journey in 2023 when she weighed 275lbs and slimmed down to 116 lbs, has shared the secret behind her transformation. She credits an affordable app designed to assist with mindset and lifestyle habits for her success.
Laci explains that she shed over six stone by using a lifestyle app that helped her alter her diet and integrate home wall pilates routines into her daily life, all from the comfort of her own home. The Simple App is an AI-powered coaching tool for adults that provides personalised daily workouts, science-based coaching, nutrition analysis, and Avo the AI coach to facilitate changes in lifestyle habits.
Laci commented: "As working moms, wives, mothers, just family members, life takes over and sometimes we don't have time in the evenings to get ourselves to the gym or sometimes we just don't feel like moving. The Simple App gives you a no-excuse reason to get up and move, especially when you can do it at home with no equipment.

"It is great for a busy person who needs something to do at home or somebody who cannot afford a gym membership, equipment. All you need is yourself and a wall and you've got it," Laci continued, noting that she regularly engages in home wall pilates workouts.

One of the key features that sets the Simple App apart is the in-app coach, Avo. Powered by AI, Avo is a personal wellness assistant that can answer user queries instantly, meaning users have round-the-clock access to wellbeing and fitness advice whenever required.
Laci is one of over 17 million people who have downloaded Simple since its launch and she has received compensation from Simple for her honest feedback following her transformation. Of course, results can vary and professional medical advice is recommended before making any significant lifestyle changes.
There are numerous fitness apps available and for some alternative options, customers could also try the Lifesum app which assists users in tracking their dietary and fitness habits. The app records food, exercise and other behaviours with the aim of helping to establish healthy habits.

Another option could be Myfitnesspal, which is one of the most popular food and nutrition trackers available. It boasts features such as meal planning, calorie counting, and workout routines. Both of these apps are free to use but also offer premium options for users seeking additional help and resources.
The Simple App has earned a high 4.2 out of 5-star rating on Trustpilot from a total of 28,902 reviews. One customer commented: "The Avo chat is very responsive and informative in providing resources specific to my requests."
However, opinions on the app vary, with one user stating: "Not the easiest to navigate to log food or activity from the day before." While another remarked: "It's too complicated."

Health expert explains why you may be having less sex this week
A health expert has warned that this week's heatwave could have a negative impact on your sex life. The Met Office says temperatures for parts of the UK are set to top 33C in the fourth heatwave of the year. Lovehoney's sexual health and wellness expert, Sarah Mulindwa said dehydration could mean you have less sex. Data commissioned by Lovehoney, in partnership with electrolyte hydration brand SULT found that over two in five Brits are drinking less than the recommended 6-8 glasses of water a day, with 8% consuming less than a single glass. The data found that those that were drinking more than the recommended daily intake of water are having better sex; 22% of these rated the quality of their sex life as ten out of ten, compared to 13% of those drinking less than the recommended daily amount. On average, those that are sufficiently hydrated rated the quality of their sex life as 6.8/10, compared to 5.95/10 for those that don't drink enough water. Similarly, those that drink the recommended daily water intake have a higher sex drive than those that don't, with 66% reporting a high libido (ranking 7 out of ten or above), compared to 52% of those nor drinking enough. 38% of Brits say that being dehydrated makes them less in the mood for sex, with 61% attributing this to a lack of energy, and 38% due to dry mouth. What's more, a quarter of people surveyed have experienced muscle cramps (often caused by a lack of electrolytes) during sex. Sarah Mulindwa said: 'Hydration and libido are more connected than most people realise. Staying hydrated supports good blood flow along with your hormone regulations and energy levels, all of which are essential for sexual arousal and performance. Think of water as your body's natural fuel - when you're running low, so is your sex drive. This research shows dehydration is one of the UK's most overlooked bedroom blockers.' Henry Porpora and Amelia Goldsmith, co-founders of SULT, said: 'We started SULT because we saw how many people were walking around dehydrated, tired, and burnt out - not just athletes, but everyday people juggling busy lives.' Sarah said there are five ways to improve your hydration:
