HabitNu 4+

The HabitNu program is wonderful and helped me move roadblocks I have been stuck behind for 2 years! The coach was amazing and positively the only thing that kept me going sometimes. While it also has been helpful the HabitNu app has some issues. The food entry is filled with inaccurate entries that throw off food monitoring. It is not user friendly but I did get the hang of it after a while. I had some technical issues setting up my scale and getting the videos to work with sound but finally figured it out. Thank you for offering this amazing resource. It really is life changing. I had convinced myself the only way I could lose weight is a gastric bypass but I have now lost about 25 pounds. And I have tools to keep going. Excellent!

Habitnu is a lifestyle changing program to prevent diabetes. The core of it's approach is encouragement , tracking and support. The coaching is the best part of the program. In a small group each individual is able to contribute and help support the other members along with the coach and find others struggling and solving the same challenges while changing to a more active lifestyle with better food choices and activity levels. The coach helps each one face the challenges they face and move forward. By recording everything you eat you are not only made more away of portion control but in many cases hidden carbs, calories and fat. There are challenges that make exercise both competitive and personally rewarding. I enjoyed the hikes that show you virtually beautiful views along the way. Since most of traveling has been limited in the last couple years it is a progressive way to see and visit sites along hikes based on miles walked each day.
I truly believe that Habitnu has the support, accountability and information to help almost anyone to reduce weight and avoid or eliminate diabetes.

Based on other reviews and my experience, looks like Coach Sally is the only one that knows how to coach (unfortunately she is not my coach). I appreciate my health insurance paid for a free scale because I signed up for this. But due to the weird restrictions and poor shipping of the scale, I can’t earn a Fitbit so be careful if that’s important to you.
The app itself is missing some key components, most notably that it doesn’t adjust caloric intake for activity levels. You also can’t copy meals, although one of the typical weight loss strategies is to have a few reliable meals, especially for breakfast and lunch. Combined with an uncurated database, it makes for some tedious logging. The videos are very basic info (although according to a prior response on that issue, the app developer blames the CDC for that). Overall, if you’ve done the weight loss thing before and just need a way to (1) get a free scale and (2) start logging again, and your insurance pays for it, it’s reasonable. If you are new to weight loss and need some personal support, look elsewhere. (And to the insurance companies, come on guys. You can do better than this. )
