Woman lost two stone using app after struggling with weight
Kerrie lost two stone using the Reverse Health Wall Pilates app after gaining weight while training for a 100km charity walk
A woman who was struggling with confidence after gaining weight during training for a 100km charity walk, found help through a wall Pilates app. Kerrie had expected to feel more toned, fitter and lighter as a result of the walk in May 2024 but in fact, she felt the opposite.
Kerrie says she "put weight on during the six months training for the event and suffered with menopausal aching all the time", and she saw her body, metabolism and confidence changed by the hormonal changes of menopause. That was when she found the Reverse Health Wall Pilates app, which she signed up for in the hope that "it would help ease aches and pains".
Fast forward to less than a year on, and Kerrie is more than two stone lighter and her old clothes are hanging off her. The Reverse Health Wall Pilates app, designed by nutritionist Matt Jones and women's health coach Monika Friedman, creates personalised and easy fitness and weight loss plans for women over 40.
'The first photo was taken in May 2024, just after my walking challenge,' Kerrie says of her before-and-after shots. 'The second photo was taken in the same T-shirt.'
The brand aims to help users: "Discover a new way to enhance your Pilates practice using a wall for support and deeper engagement. Improve posture, build lean muscle, and increase flexibility with guided routines suitable for beginners and experienced users alike."
The app's mission is to make at-home workouts fun and effective, let go of outdated exercise and diet concepts, break societal taboos around menopause, and much more. Those who are interested can grab a number of plans from the app starting from £7.14 for a one week plan, £15.65 for four weeks, and £26.77 for a whole 12 weeks, with plans ranging from wall Pilates to chair yoga, menopause weight loss custom meal plans to keto diet plans, to help users lose weight and feel more energised.
For those looking for other options, there are multiple apps to choose from, such as MyFitnessPal, which is an all-in-one food, exercise and calorie tracker that has both free and paid subscription options on the app.
Another option is the Nike Training Club App. This gives access to over 200 free workouts and targeted training programs for fitness enthusiasts.
The Reverse Health app has been praised by customers. One person said: 'Starting week 5 today. I'm down 9.3 pounds and my clothes are starting to become too big. My energy this past week was excellent.'
Another said: 'The fitness videos, especially Wall Pilates were a game changer for me, I love them. So easy and incredibly effective, I love seeing myself in the mirror now.'
'I've been doing this amazing program for a year now and I've lost 97lbs. I'm not stating this to brag but to let everyone know it is possible to make these life changes,' said another person.
Some users did struggle with the workouts. One user said: 'I like the concept, but the exercises are hard, which discourages me from doing them.' Another highlighted they'd like a barcode scanning option on the app, saying: 'I don't like that there isn't a scan option for meals on the go.'
However, for results like Kerrie and many other women at this stage of life, the Reverse Health Wall Pilates app has been praised by many. One happy 66-year-old said: "First time to use any weight loss programme. Very interesting app. Enjoy the tips for the day . Very informative, with info about nutrition and general health. I've certainly learned a lot two weeks in and I do feel more energetic and positive. I'm on the right track to get fitter and healthy."

Advertisement The weight loss hasn't just helped Terri feel better about her body; it's also made a massive impact on her mood. She revealed: "Two stone down, depressed and unhappy, to finally getting my shine back." Like many medications, Mounjaro can cause unwanted side effects. One common side effect for people is that they have low energy and digestive problems making them feel sluggish. Advertisement But Terri had three rules she stuck to in order to keep it at bay. "I was feeling sluggish until I started to make sure I eat my calories, drink my water and take my vitamins," she added. 3 Terri also revealed her tips to avoid negative side effects Credit: Tiktok/@xxterrigriffithxx I'm so happy with my Mounjaro body after dropping 4 stone but there's a side effect I hate & trolls say I 'cheated' For those with constipation, a side effect from the drug she recommended Wellgard Gutstar.

Advertisement What to do if you lose too much weight too quickly whilst on Mounjaro IF you're losing too much weight too quickly while on Mounjaro, it's important to take action to avoid potential health risks like muscle loss, malnutrition, dehydration, and fatigue. Here's what you can do: Evaluate Your Caloric Intake Mounjaro reduces appetite, which can make it easy to eat too little. If you're losing weight too fast (more than two to three lbs per week after the initial adjustment period), try: Tracking your food intake to ensure you're eating enough calories (apps like MyFitnessPal can help). Increasing protein intake to preserve muscle mass (aim for 0.6–1g per pound of body weight). Adding healthy fats and complex carbs (e.g., avocados, nuts, whole grains) for balanced energy. Adjust Your Dosage (With Doctor's Approval) If your weight loss is too rapid or causing side effects, your doctor may: Pause dose increases or lower your dosage. Adjust your treatment plan to stabilise your weight loss. Strength Training & Exercise To prevent muscle loss: Incorporate resistance training at least two to three times per week. Stay active with low-impact exercises like walking or yoga. Hydrate & Manage Electrolytes Drink enough water (Mounjaro can reduce thirst). Electrolytes matter - Consider adding magnesium, sodium, and potassium if you feel weak or fatigued. Monitor for Malnutrition & Deficiencies Rapid weight loss can cause vitamin/mineral deficiencies (especially B12, iron, and electrolytes). If you experience: Fatigue, hair loss, or dizziness, ask your doctor about supplements. Consider Further Medical Guidance If your weight loss is excessive or causing health concerns, speak with your healthcare provider. They might adjust your dosage, diet, or exercise plan to help stabilise your weight loss. One person wrote: "I'm on week 17 and I haven't even lost 2st yet." Another commented: "I don't know how, I'm almost 6 weeks and did not lose anything." "That's amazing. I start my mounjaro journey on Monday. I hope I have similar results," penned a third. Meanwhile a fourth said: "Starting mine Sunday. Feeling nervous but mostly excited to see the change. You look incredible. Well done." Advertisement "This is the type of inspiration I love to see. I'm starting on Mounjaro next month and can't wait to see some results, hopefully like yours,' claimed a fifth Someone else added: "I've been on Mounjaro for 11 weeks and I have 3lbs loss.. that's it. How on earth?"

I've lost 4st on Mounjaro – the foods you can't eat because they'll give you a belly ache, it's not takeaway
Read on to see the effects of Mounjaro WEIGHT TO GO I've lost 4st on Mounjaro – the foods you can't eat because they'll give you a belly ache, it's not takeaway Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A WOMAN who lost 4 stone using the weight loss jab Mounjaro has shared what it's really like. Ken, from the UK, took to social media, sharing how the injection can affect what you're allowed to eat. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 3 Ken shared the foods you can't eat while on the fat loss jabs Credit: tiktok/@itsken_x 3 Takeaway was still okay for Ken to eat Credit: Alamy In the clip, she said: "Hi my name is Ken and I have been on Mounjaro for the last seven months. "I've lost over 4 stone and gone from obese to overweight in that time. "Should you be avoiding any foods on Mounjaro? Potentially. It's all trial and error." Ken revealed that she had certain food she loved but now had to cut out of her diet due to an upset stomach and 'sulfur burps'. Most burps are odourless but sulfur burps can smell like rotten eggs and be a sign of digestive issues. While it won't happen to everyone on fat loss jabs, some have reported it as a side effect. To avoid it, Ken recommended keeping a food diary to see what could be triggering it. She added: "Because often food choices can make a difference with our side effects. "Some people say that greasy or fried food can really unsettle their stomach and for me, spicy food or garlic can trigger my sulfur burps." Ken said she was still able to enjoy a takeaway without any negative effects but that it differs from person to person. I'm on Mounjaro & having a kebab for dinner left me bedbound for 24 hours - but I'm trolled for not eating healthily 3 She found garlic and chili to be a trigger Credit: Getty "So don't necessarily restrict things if you like to eat them and your stomach can handle it," she continued. "Don't necessarily restrict things because it's all about eating anything you want but in moderation." The clip was shared on her TikTok account @itsken_x which went viral with over 46k views. People were quick to share their own experiences and what food they couldn't handle while being on the drug.
