I used Weight Watchers in the past and it was successful, but then I got a couple of patches that changed my weight and my ability to lose it. First was positive. I met my wonderful man. We were both in excellent physical condition, but we both love to eat and drink as entertainment. We both gained approximately 30-40 pounds. Then we moved to a smaller town with very few options for weight loss support. In addition, my father and stepdad passed away and my son became embroiled in very serious law enforcement and mental issues. I'm an emotional eater, so none of that helped me be motivated. I was miserable and I knew my weight and lack of self-confidence was making everything worse.

I discovered Noom. It was different because the support was right there on my phone and didn't require finding meetings that were in the area and fit my schedule. I was shocked that Noom wanted me to weigh every day. I thought I wouldn't see enough loss or gain to be motivated. I was completely wrong. It helped me lasso my eating issues because I did see quick results. The humorous style of the program made a huge difference too. It wasn't the usual dry, "if you eat this, you WILL gain weight." I learned that all or nothing thinking like that took away my control over my weight and made me really hard on myself. With my logging food, the color system, my coach and group, I was able to lose 20 pounds. I love the graph that shows my weight loss. It is very motivating.

My only problem with Noom is that I can't always afford the monthly fee. If it isn't paid, my support slides down until I end up on the very sparse free version. Noom isn't any more expensive than some of the other programs, but it is still hard for me. It's a little discouraging to see the various parts of Noom slide away day by day, until there is almost nothing left. It feels a little like blackmail. But once again, it's not any more expensive than any other programs and I know they need to pay their bills too.
