[quote=Anonymous]I'm at one week with Noom, and not only do I like it, but I've stuck to it 100%. They really do take all that's good about Weight Watchers (unless you prefer in-person meetings) and leave out the nonsense like chickpeas having zero points.

There's almost a videogame aspect to the app that drives you to come back each day. Most of the articles tell me what I already know, but they've been good reinforcement each morning. I've added 1,000 steps to my average based on the gentle push from the app. I want the number badly enough that I make it happen, even if it means walking hallways at work or actually cranking up my dusty treadmill in the basement.

The food log is the easiest interface I've encountered (I've tried them all--FitBit, MyFitnessPal, Sparkpeople, WW, knockoffs from the app store, etc.). I think this is the greatest value for me. No crashing, no tedious searches, and SO many items in their database. I can add a meal in a fraction of the usual time WW used to take.

My coach is fine if somewhat canned, as mentioned by a PP. I prefer data over support, so this works for me. I haven't encountered all the group support options, which I believe kick in in week 3.

And my weight loss so far has been...about half a pound. My weight went down, then plateaued for days on end, and then went up a bit this morning. I'm not concerned. I was on keto for a couple months before this--excluding the Thanksgiving binge to end all binges--so I'm being patient. My stomach looks flatter and my clothes are already fitting better.

In sum, I recommend Noom. For reference, I'm a small-boned female in my early 50s who wants to lose about 5 pounds--one of the toughest demographics for weight loss.[/quote]
