Laci Gilbert, a mother who began her weight loss journey in 2023, has shed around 11 stone without stepping outside her home. Weighing 275lbs at the start, she dropped to 116lbs with the help of the Simple lifestyle app and home wall Pilates routines.
How She Did It
Gilbert credits the Simple app for transforming her diet and integrating wall Pilates exercises into her daily life. She says the approach is 'great for a busy person' and that 'all you need is yourself'.
She explained: "As working mums, 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."
