I love Noom. By getting underneath the weird way the brain works in relation to food and the choices I make, I can rationalize much more and think "ah this is my elephant at work" or "behavior chain." "Thought distortion" or whatever and that helps me not to overreact, feel a failure and throw in the towel as I have done previously. The scale (scan) anxiety piece, for example, was so helpful at the very start and made me actually weigh myself for the first time in two years; and just by doing this I got to grip with the extent of my challenge rather than avoiding and kidding myself. Now I chip away pound by pound.
The info is there at your fingertips and there is a LOT of information each day. I've learned now to skim through info in the morning, save in my library and ready properly later when I've got more time. Logging is easy, although UK food lists are more limited. I understand that is building and it's easy to add by calories.
Personally, I'm not great at group chats, etc. (is that a generational thing?), but I'm always interested in what others are experiencing and occasionally contribute. Helpful to be accountable to a coach weekly as well so you can plan the following week and identify what your focus will be.
So all in all, 9 lbs down in 6 weeks and it's going well!
Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
