I joined NOOM

smoochy — Sun, 14 Jul 2024 14:06:47 GMT

my eating is out of control and I've gained nine pounds in the past few weeks. Gaaah 😔 for all my good intentions to lose it on my own without paying for a program, that isn't working. I need the daily structure of a plan. This one seems easier to work into my life than that crazy point system of WW. I will be logging my food intake and staying within a calorie range. Some weight loss plans even free ones, require adherence to specific meals and recipes. I will do much better with making my own food based on things my husband and I like. Then logging it on the app

Hoping for success, one day at a time

What's NOOM?

Re: I joined NOOM

smoochy — Sun, 14 Jul 2024 04:23:48 GMT

it's a weight loss plan

Re: I joined NOOM

smoochy — Sun, 14 Jul 2024 04:26:26 GMT

the reason I joined today is they are having a deal, twelve months for the price of six. I couldn't say no to that. Otherwise I would not have spent money on their regular pricing

I have an 80-year-old friend on NOOM. She looks about 55 already (good genes, both parents always looked young and lived to near 100, each one). She has lost 15 pounds, what she wished to lose and now keeps her weight down to 135, which is ideal for her bone structure, height and age.

Good for you! If this works for you, then it was money well spent!

How does NOOM differ from other diet plans?

you eat what you want within a calorie range that is personalized for you. You log everything you eat. Every day the app has short educational articles about nutrition, motivation etc. Supposedly it trains you to think differently about food, make better choices, not beat yourself up over "mistakes"

Good luck with the program. I know people who have had some success. Biggest complaint was at renewal time. It is an automatic renewal. They charge your card with no notification ahead of time. Will not give a refund.

I always put renewal dates on my calendar so that I can cancel subscriptions in plenty of time

Ufortunately once you stop any of these diet plans most put the weight right back on. Do what I did. I began a walking regime, noticed I began to lose weight, adjusted my eating, continued walking, this was 4 years ago. I lost 70 lbs, kept it off by eating no carbs, still don't eat carbs. But I walk, walk, walk. I'm slim (5'8" 140lbs) and have no intention of gaining any of my weight back again. No one need to spend money on a diet program. Diets don't work. JMO

I can't walk walk walk because of a bad knee, balance problems and using a cane. I'm lucky I can still walk from point A to point B. Glad it worked for you. There is probably something I could do to increase my physical activity. Not sure what that might be but open to suggestions.

Yes I'm aware that diets don't work. It took me a minute to pull the trigger on spending the money. Normally I wouldn't. I'm only doing this for a few months to get back to better habits. And for that I need the daily encouragement and structure of the program. The little motivators on the app appeal to me. And tracking my food intake.

@smoochy i too can no longer walk walk walk. bad back and hip also balance issues. fall risk. so i'm using my cane again after 3 yrs because of falls.

My son joined Noom last year and lost a lot of weight. He cooked all his own meals, didn't bring any food in the house that would tempt him, like chips, cookies, sodas, etc. He looks very good now and feels so much better. It's not easy watching and eating healthy, but worth it.

Keep up the good work, see your goal met and better health.
