I saw a commercial for this and checked the website. It looks interesting for weight loss. Has anyone tried it?

No but I’m curious too.I’d like to know more about it before I sign up. I only have about 8 or 10 lbs to lose.

@kaydee50

I’d never heard of it so I checked it out. It is based on incorrect information, outdated, calories and exercise. I’m surprised but it will probably make lots of money - because people will keep trying and it will keep failing them.

Well, I did some more investigating and it does not get good reviews mainly for customer service in trying to get a refund. Plus I do not have a smart phone and I don't have "apps" which this seems to be geared to. I'll skip it.

When I heard about NOOM earlier this year, it was marketed

as a motivational tool only. Thought that would be good, yes?

Fast forward to today...looked on their Instagram page &

it’s filled with pictures of food. And the ‘coaches’ gives

nutritional advice. Thought it was a habit-building tool.

Someone referred to it as ‘Weight-Watchers for Millenials.’

Like the idea of Habit-Building...and there are tons of apps out

there for change-a-habit for long term success. But just using

pen-to-paper for Food Journaling is more effective...something

scientific about the handwriting action of writing which is

better than online/typing.

Funny how this NOOM is the Internet Chosen One. Why? 💁‍♀️💁‍♂️

@NicksmomESQ@I think if you eat low cholesterol and low sugar and get in enough exercise you could dump that ten pounds without noom.I walk for 3 miles every night after dinner and that keeps the weight off.I think it gets the metabolism burning after a big meal.We keep our house cool which also helps so that you don’t get sleepy and your body has to burn energy.

@NicksmomESQ

Analyze everything you eat, and how much(not calories). Almost everyone can find some small tweaks to make, and over time, easily lose the little amount of weight you mention.

When you reach your desired weight, keep doing the same and WALLAH, you can actually easily(if you fully commit), maintain that same weight. Doesn't take an X or Y Program, just a true self analysis and commitment.

Best to you,

$ave your well earned dollar$ on this marketing ploy.

Sleep well, eat clean as much as you can, and move...keep moving.

Create a mental checklist of all the things you DO LOVE about yourself and don't let jerks or comparisons get you down.

Stay tru to u and your whole self will feel better.

Especially your wallet for not wa$ting money/time/energy on hyped marketing garbage.

@hckynut...John I saw a report on our news today about this 95 year old judge who love ice-skating. I thought of you when I saw it. Amazing man like yourself who loves keeping active!

I think apps like these are useful for people to keep track of what they're eating and how much exercise you can do.

It's voila...

I've been seeing Noom advertised like crazy just this past week.

I use Lifesum and my husband uses it too. It's easy and it keeps track of what you're eating, drinking, and how much exercise you do. I update my weight weekly.

It's a great way to maintain or lose weight.

@Bri369

Not sure what you mean by "apps" in this context. I assumed this thread title was another lose weight plan. Recording what one eats/drinks and how much "exercise" they do, is a good thing. Not sure everyone's idea of what is "exercise" is the same. I've seen some that think walking in their home to use the bathroom is exercise.

As I have consistently said, if something works for a person to attain and/or maintain their goals, keep on doing it until it doesn't.

Noom is an app. Lifesum is an app. Myfitness plan is an app. There are probably thousands of apps for people to use for health and fitness.

You don't know what apps are?

Never heard of Noom as an app for weight loss. I think there are so, so many of those type of apps available that I don't remember hearing about it.

Several of my friends use what I think is called My Fitness App.

@Bri369

Yes, I do know. My statement included "in this context". Followed this with: "I assumed this thread title was about another weight loss plan". While I am very computer knowledgeable, not so with much with the "texting lingo".

Your final sentence asked me a question, my 1st sentence is my answer.

Be well,
