I really, really like this app. I have never been obese but, I need(ed) to lose 15 lbs., of which 5 lbs I gained over the past holidays. I am a life long female athlete and a foodie, my partner is a trained chef. Getting older, I am 58, and having more financial resources, I was starting to eat and drink (mostly wine) too much and the weight started to add up. I'd work out more, thinking it would just fall off...like when I was in my 20's and 30's. Nope, it didn't happen. I tried logging my food on my own but, that just didn't work either. So I decided to give Noom a shot.
One of the things I like about Noom is the "nerdy" attitude. It is funny. But, it is also smart. I like being educated about the psychology of why, when and what I eat. I like that it is not all or nothing. I like that the example of the weight loss chart goes up and down...though down overall. I like that it takes 10 minutes a day. It also has a social aspect to it, not really my thing but, I can see how that would benefit many people.
I have been on the app about a month. I am down 7 lbs...I am making smarter choices and I am learning a lot about habits and choices. I get practical tips for various scenarios, and I get information on why I do what I do...so I can make smarter choices. I like that it is not all or nothing. Sometimes, I just want that second glass of wine or piece of chocolate, it's okay, it's a slip and that happens. I go back on the calorie count the next day. I am in for the long haul and things happen, life happens.
So far so good. I feel positive about the results to date and the future looks promising.
Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
