Noom Weight Loss, Food Tracker 12+

Noom is more helpful than I thought it would be, especially in terms of accountability, ease of platform, education, and nutrition tracking. I can understand what got me here in the first place now, and I know what to do to keep losing and gain more muscle mass. For example, I can't eat fast food or cereal regularly even if it's not adding up to a lot of calories in a day because of portion control. I'm 51 years old and my body has changed and needs me to feed it healthy foods on a regular basis, and cut out the inflammatory stuff. Losing weight felt very slow and almost disheartening at first, but the women on Noom that are also in the same boat or past wherever I was were very encouraging and informative. This encouragement helped me, and it also helps me to encourage others. Now that I feel better and more in control of what I eat (recognizing the inflammatory and high fat/sugar foods I was eating), I realize I need to add some resistance training (I walk every day) if I'm going to get to my goal weight. That being said, I feel so much better that I think I'm going to adjust my goal weight and keep focusing on nutrition and now adding, resistance/some light weights. I will say that it's been imperative to drop the inflammatory foods and only consume the minimum amount of calories suggested by Noom to lose. I am almost through perimenopause and I also think HRT is helping me lose and feel better all around.

It's great to hear how the program has been beneficial for you, especially in terms of accountability, education, and nutrition tracking. We're thrilled to be part of your journey towards healthier habits. Keep up the fantastic work!

I’ve been with Noom for a month now and I’m really enjoying the platform. The information they give you is broken down into easily digestible groups, their approach to weight loss is different than anything I’ve tried before. There is the calorie tracking element, water intake tracking, steps taken, all that stuff but, it’s more there for you to see how you are progressing instead of being drilled into your head that you have to do all those things without fail everyday to see success. I’m down 10 pounds as of this morning and I’m very pleased with that. I haven’t been hungry all the time like some programs, I can tell I’m making some better choices when packing my lunch and going grocery shopping following their guidelines. I’ve even found some healthier alternatives to certain things I would usually eat that still satisfy my craving without blowing my calorie budget or feeling guilty. I also enjoy the social aspect of the app, after your first few days you get to meet your team, which is compromised of other users and your group coach. It’s nice to be able to bounce concerns, frustrations and victories off each other and the group coach posts helpful suggestions and tips to work past plateaus and get you to the next level. Overall, I would recommend trying this company if you have some weight you’d like to shed without starving yourself or just eating cabbage & onion soup all day, everyday 😂

We're so happy to hear how much you've been enjoying your experience! Thanks so much for being a part of our Noomily.

I have spent years thinking in terms of labels (bad foods) (good foods). I would literally get up every day and think obsessively about food and wonder, how do I not eat bad today and of coarse by afternoon and evening I was storm eating and I thought I was going to have to give up my beloved pinocle parties that go on 3 days a week because of all the sugary treats that are everywhere on card day, now I plan for those, even allowing myself to have 2 Hershey miniatures and my coffee with cream. I have embraced breakfast which I had stopped eating because I hoped it would keep my overall calories down and all it did was make me hungrier for the afternoons. I have not lost much weight, but I get to go to bed without feeling like a failure, imagine going to bed every night so upset and so sick from overeating day after day week after week, I haven’t told many people but I was starting to wish I would just die and get it over with, I’m free right now and loving my new friend food, food of all sorts, even those I once considered evil and bad and finally the weight gaining has stopped and I have even lost a little in the past month, I can’t describe the gratitude for a friend who did it before me and when online one day I accidentally stumbled on an advertisement, asked my sweetheart if I could spend the money to try it and bless his heart after so many books and money spent he didn’t hesitate to say yes and here I am.

Way to go! That was amazing to read. We're so happy to hear Noom has changed your relationship with food and made you mindful of your eating habits. Keep up the awesome work building healthier habits with your Noom family!
