I wish had read some of these reviews before signing up. Noom started off well enough, but after a few weeks, I felt like I could not possibly keep up with all of the information coming at me day-in, day-out. I felt like I had signed up for a Ph.D. in weight management, but my weight was still staying the same. The cutesy, jokey "we’re all in this together" psych tricks approach eventually became infuriating. As another reviewer noted, this is NOT a good app for those diagnosed with an eating disorder. You will feel like you’ve failed once again and the experience will most likely retrigger whatever eating disorder issues that brought you to the app in the first place.

Two things that could improve the experience greatly would be a PC app and a workbook to keep track of all the exercises as there are HUNDREDS of them. The bookmarking they offer doesn’t work so well since it’s not a book so there’s no way to associate the bookmarked articles to where you were in the course and what principle you were trying to learn. As with all online apps, it’s all about keeping you hooked so they make their money. I agree that a good personal trainer to help get moving and some OA meetings will work just as well and much better if you’re in the eating disorder cohort.

Now I’m worried about canceling. Good to know there are some strategies available.
