I will admit that I am not seeing the results that I had hoped for with Noom. My weight is just not coming off in the way that I hoped it would, however, I am seeing positive changes in my body and lifestyle that make me want to continue on this journey, because at this time in my life, that’s really what it is about. I’ve tried many get fit plans in the past, but my approach was really "all or nothing." As soon as something broke down in my plan, it was over.
What I really like about Noom is the build in support, the encouragement, and the self-reflection. You are taught how to increase your efforts slowly so you are not overwhelmed and to measure your successes in small, and sustainable ways. You are reminded to be kind to yourself and push your boundaries at the same time. You learn the power of self-reflection and accountability. The daily check in’s really do help keep you on track and you’re given lots of knowledge along the way.
The personal and group support that are in the program are invaluable and make the program much more personalized. Without these components, it would still be a good program, but without the "real live person" component, I don’t think the program would be nearly as effective.
Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
