Has anyone used Noom for goal-setting and weight loss? Did you like it/love it/or just more of the same?

I used it for a while! I think it depends on your starting point. If you don’t know a lot about nutrition and the psychology behind why you make the choices you do relating to food / exercise habits and have a fair amount of weight to lose, I think Noom can be helpful. If you already are very well versed in nutrition, fitness and wellness I think there are other (free) programs / accountability groups you can do.

Not useful for me

Used it for a bit and quite it. Lost 5lbs with it but it got really annoying after the first few weeks. Also found a few typos in their daily posts which was a big turnoff for me

I’d say I turn myself off too while we’re at it...

Thanks all!

I didnt see enough of a benefit to switch from MyFitnessPal. Use whatever you need to to track calories - that’s what’s most important.

I didn’t find Noom very helpful as the education was obvious and the food tracker wasn’t very good with limited options. Their green/yellow/red food classification doesn’t make sense - grill chicken is yellow but multi grain bread is green? Based on this logic I should eat more bread than chicken? The interaction on the app was delayed and felt like I received mass messages. I would recommend LoseIt as a better food tracking app.
