So I have been on Noom for 8-9 weeks. A little background I am 55 years old and 5’7" and was 237#s. I had been around 210-215the last several years. When I weighed myself and saw 237 it kind a scared me with my age and all. Weight was going up despite 5 months of consistent mid base training. I had been considering Noom after seeing it on YouTube. I had success with LoseIt 5 years ago and got down to 190#s but was kind of hungry all the time. So I am down 30#s in the 8+ weeks. More importantly I feel as if I have more control over my eating habits. Hard for me to say but I grew up with some food scarcity and learned to just eat what I saw at times. I can not recommend Noom more enthusiastically. At the 2# a week plan I have I will hit my goal in July. It’s well supported with nutrition research and psychological research that pertain to nutrition, food choices, eating behaviors…Some apply to me and some do not. But learning and understanding has been very helpful. I am able to complete my workouts here on trainer road. Interesting tidbit- on loseit you get to add all the exercise calories to your daily goal. With noom you get 50% of the exercise calories added to your daily goal. I have had plateaus that have lasted a week but just kept at it. It is a humongous relief for me to have something that works and is easy to use. My goal is 165#s. I remember how I could climb at 180#s. I have this great memory of going up hill and having to lean and bank into switchbacks I was going so fast. This was on Tunnel Road in Berkeley if anyone knows it. It is a common training route for that area. Anyway that is my long winded 2 cents.
