Noom Reviews

I like the ability to select the amount of time I work on the lessons. I like the consistency of weighing every day and doing the lessons and the documentation every day. It’s important to engage every day and this keeps me honest.

I’m never quite sure I’m responding to the questions on the thread… Overall it’s a very positive experience. I’m still very motivated to change my eating habits and have success at weight loss and improving overall health with the Noom support, activities, etc…

I’ve been on Noom for five weeks and have yet to lose any weight. I’m finding it grossly overpriced for what it is. The UX/UI is outdated and this feels like it’s been designed by first year nutritionist/copy writers. I think the marketing is fake.

From the very start this education has been positive and productive. Focus is just not about food intake. Plan is a complete mental and physical approach to sustaining healthier habits. Eating is a part of that of course. Learning how to eat differently and live differently to achieve a healthier lifestyle is what I’m getting out of the courses. I’ve been in 54 days and lost 20.4 lbs. with more to go. I will strongly recommend Noom to others. Excellent!

I am extremely happy with Noom. I had tried it about a year ago and didn’t like it, I felt it was too much tracking. However I’ve been on Noom now for a month and I’m really loving it! I feel a lot more in control of my health. I have lost 7 pounds. The only thing that concerns me is my ability to continue paying for my membership… I would like to stay a member for a minimum of one year. Thank you so much.

I am very frustrated with the food logging system. You can’t share meals with other users and modify recipes you have built. The graphics for how many calories you have left is small and hard to read. Lose it is much better at food logging. Noom has the edge on coaching.

I have lost 11 pounds in about a month. I am learning to change my relationship with food. I get to treat myself but I have added veggies and fruits to my diet. It feels like I'm adding food not subtracting.

My weight graph is a horizontal line. My goal date keeps moving back and I’m 1 lb heavier than I was when I started in the beginning of June. I track, I participate in group chats and yet nothing. Most often I am within my calorie budget and still no progress. If this keeps up what is the point of paying for Noom?

I first joined Noom about 2.5 years ago and achieved, in about 4 months, my target of losing 20 lbs. I found the program really changed my relationship with food in a positive way and made me more mindful of when, what and how much I ate. I kept the weight off until this winter, when I gained back about 10 lbs. I’m back on Noom and nearing my goal weight again. I think this is a great program that provides practical, science based strategies for leading a healthy lifestyle. Personal coaching and groups discussions are available if you need more support. With its reading exercises, recipes and daily food logging and weigh-ins, Noom has many tools to help you get and stay on track. It’s certainly worked for me, even if I’ve needed a little reset of late.

I’m enjoying. It’s not that hard which I like but it’s just me willing to do it and not get depressed. Also I like that they tell me how many days I’ve looked in. I would recommend this to my friends.

At first I was excited and it gave me a lot to think about emotionally and mentally and psychologically, but I haven’t really lost weight and I’ve been sticking to what I’m supposed to be eating and it’s made me very unmotivated and not see the point in even logging on anymore.

I lost 45 pounds on Noom in 2019 & unlike other (many other) plans I’ve done, I kept it off for 2 years. This spring was very stressful & I felt myself reverting to some bad habits so I hopped back on Noom June 1. The program is even better than it was - super happy with it. I recommend it to anyone who’s trying to get to their healthiest self.

So far very pleased. Although I’m not seeing fast results I’m seeing lasting results in the end. I’m already feeling better in my clothes and skin! Finding out the psychological reasons of why I overeat, and how to overcome that is amazing.

I have been using Noom for almost 2 months. At the beginning, was exciting and weight loss what significant. I logged all my meals which made me be conscious of caloric intake. I got it to a plateau and I feel stuck. The message of the apps continues to be the same and not adapted to my new situation. The meal plan and the exercise plans functionality on the app is very poor.

I feel Noom is a good experience. No spiels or gimmicks. It’s a responsible approach to healthy living. I have learned healthy techniques to guide me into a lifestyle. These same techniques will be useful to hand down to my granddaughters. My husband and I are both benefiting from it.

All features are good but support is lacking unless you want to group which I don’t really want to or have time to. Need a bit more accountability and maybe a goal to be set by my coach. Other than that a great app.

Logging food is a frustrating experience. I don’t eat most prepackaged foods or fast food and don’t go to most of the restaurants that are logged into your system. I have to break everything down into pieces and it does not seem very accurate. I really have no idea how many calories I’m eating or if I’m really within the weight loss range. I’ve been trying your program off and on for a while and can’t seem to get it to work for me.

Overall I have enjoyed using the program and I would recommend this program. However, there are some issues I do have with this program. I understand the concept between the food groups and the color codes to help however at times I think the red foods can lead one to avoid red foods such as oil and most protein while attempting to drop weight. In most people’s life—-especially in people on weight loss goals will see RED foods as bad food. The written part of your course explains the importance of not viewing any food as a bad food however your very program teaches the opposite.

I love the one on one coaching. She has answered my questions with some great articles that help with a whole new way of thinking. Questions I might not ask in a group setting. I’m still a work on progress but Sarah is helping me get there.

Excellent content! The coaching connections might be a bit stronger. I have lost 6 lbs and kept it off. I have more to lose but just spent a birthday part weekend with my fam so I wasn’t as “noomalicious” as usual. The program is on point and a little funny too! I WOULD recommend the program highly.

The psychological aspects of Noom are strong, and I am happy with this aspect of the whole system. I like thinking about YBP and other aspects of making health changes. Early anecdotal evidence from my experience suggests the Noom focus on calorie density is working for me (keeping me from being hungry). I like the Red/Yellow/Green system, it seems to work for me... I can imagine doing it forever.

I wish I could have designated a start date. I also am unclear how the coaching thing works. I also paid extra for a diet and still see no sign of that. There are for me a lot of pain points with this app and so far not thrilled with it.

I have thoroughly enjoyed hearing about the healthy eating tips. I think this has allowed me to change my diet drastically. I enjoy the daily lessons because they do give you something to think about and make you more aware of what your life is going through at a particular time.

Noom worked out fine at the beginning. However, my weight is not really coming down as I anticipated. This is very frustrating and discouraging. I plan most of my meals and exercise but this is not giving me any great results.

This is my 5th week with Noom. I have been losing 2 lbs a week. My goal is to lose 26 lbs. Noom requires daily weigh ins to help desensitize the scale. The weekly weigh in on other programs resulted in me not being careful for 4 days and then starve for three days. I am definitely less upset now when I step on the scale. If it’s up one day, I know it will go down on the next if I stick with it. I love the daily reading assignments and how the food tracking makes me conscious of the need to eat less calorie dense food.

I already have recommended Noom to my friends. I’m convinced it is changing my life for the better. I really enjoy the program and how it is set up. I have lost 10 pounds in little over a month and I could not be happier. 30 more to go!

I really really like the food logging in Noom. I’m not really into the group thing. I posted a few times but don’t feel any real benefit for me with that. Think I’m better with one on one though. Overall- really great program. I’m learning a lot.

Been at this diligently for about six weeks. No weight lost. No one seems to be able to figure how to fix this. Am eating below calorie recommendations, exercising, eating mostly green with some yellow and very little red. I’ve committed to a year but this is not encouraging.

I enjoy the lessons and helpful hints. However it takes a day or more for my coach to respond. The groups are too large for my personal liking. I think smaller more intimate groups would be more beneficial for myself.

Too much information too quickly! Changing lifetime habits don’t happen because you read something - you have to be given time to change, and being bombarded by articles to read. Also, lack of practical advice - what’s red food - which could I switch to for yellow? Also, why is it red?? An explanation of this on each food would be good.

I have been on and off diets my entire life; beginning in childhood. Falling off has been my diet history. Noom has brought me just what I needed. My mindset is mindful eating, not a diet I know I can’t sustain. I can fit all of my favorites “sneak” foods into a healthy eating style. This is so freeing and allows me to feel good about myself. Thank you Noom! I’m a convert.❤️

I have had countless issues with weight gain over the years and insulin resistance with a high A1C. Noom doesn’t tell you what to eat and when to eat. Instead, it slowly encourages to change how you eat and why you eat, delving into the psychology of your eating habits and the biology of your body’s hunger system. This helps you identify your pitfalls and leads you to success. It’s a gentle, long term encouragement, which has proven effective when you stick to it. Highly recommended!!!

I joined Noom 1st June at 16st 7lb. Today 24th July I’m at 14st 13lb. I’m thrilled. There’s no ‘sticking to plan’ or ‘good or bad weeks’. It’s simply about calorie deficit and improving your relationship with food. The psychology behind this has kept me ‘in the zone’. All other ways of eating are fads. Trust me, I’ve tried them all.

Love, love, love Noom! The only application that works! I have lost 5 of my 10 pounds so far! The educational materials and food tracker are fabulous. I love the fun way the articles are written. I am grateful! Yay!

Noom mood is good for changing unhealthy patterns. I switched to Noom mood after realizing I needed more psychological support than weight loss support. I like that I’m learning new skills to take care of my brain and thought patterns. I feel like the coach support is a little vanilla and doesn’t get deep into a person’s issues. I can see how Noom wants to stay out of being a therapist but teach new skills and thought patterns but not addressing the reasons a person may have those patterns (abuse, mental illness, etc) really doesn’t serve anyone.

I have lost 1,000’s of pounds in my adult life and never kept it off. Then 2 years ago, lost 110 pounds and have struggled to maintain. I needed to address issues nothing had ever addressed before. Noom is incredible! The lessons are gradually changing my mindset and I’m very grateful!

Produce is good. I’m not impressed with the coach. Rarely ever heard from her and on the 2 times I finally did, she just spouted a couple of platitudes instead of trying really check in on My progress or lack thereof and to offer guidance.

The educational short lessons are helpful. What I expected was when I was struggling to have access to a coach to help me learn why. The result are the reality is I weigh more today then when I started. I have modified several things in my life and yet the result appear wrong. No clear success and yet I had so hoped this time would be different. Feel alone and a failure once again.

My experience so far has been inspiring for future change.. I struggle with being comfortable in my own skin at the weight I am and Noom is really helping with me as a whole and not just losing weight goals.. I am early into my journey but it is already helping with this and making healthy changes to my future… It makes you think deeply about the choices you are making, allows you to not miss out on foods you love but to change the mindset of how you feel about it and really like the 1:1 and group coaching. So far my experience has been positive

This experience of learning is so different from anything I’ve tried before! I’ve done programs that change the way they work so often that you cannot easily apply it for life. Then there were programs that taught me mindfulness in eating, but left my “hyper aware self” thinking I could only eat the size of my palm and that my over enthusiastic “I’m satisfied enough” message meant calorie deficit was ok. Finally there were fasting programs that took my deficit eating to another level but all which resulted in plateaus of low metabolism, exhaustion, anemia and binging when I cycled through the modes of “this is never going to work!” Noom gives me practical life learning that will sustain me after I reach my goals, tools to help me stay incentivized even when I mess up, and hope that I won’t need to ever go to extremes again to make movement toward the me I know is still inside. I have a ways to go, but I’ll get there and I’ll know how to maintain. Thanks Noom!

What I love about Noom is that it’s primarily about healthy eating and a healthy lifestyle. It’s about your LIFE, not a diet plan. Understanding why I do what I do, and how to do better is fantastic. It’s a way of life I can maintain beyond my weight loss goal. I’m starting to get it through my head that there are no good or bad foods! I have a tribe plus a coach for support and I only reveal what I want to, but I know everyone is in the same situation and is accepting. I’m not alone! I recommend this to anyone of any weight or fitness, for any goal, or even just the goal of really knowing what’s true and reasonable.

I have learned a lot about habits and how to change them and about the psychology in changing my lifestyle. Many tricks have made it easier. I love how NO food is off limits so I haven’t felt deprived at all. If I have a special event coming up, I know how to budget so I can have a fun eating time as opposed to fuel eating. I have lost over 20 pounds and when I hit a plateau I know that it’s only temporary. I’m also grateful for my coach (Angela) who checks on me regularly and is available when I feel down or need help. This program has been really great for me. My daughter joined and now has added her husband and his grandmother. Thanks NOOM!!

I purchased the program based on the predicted results chart stating I would reach my goal in December. I have followed the food requirements, Stuck with the calorie goals, the caloric density rules, I have meet the majority the activity goals. I’ve listened to the lessons. With absolutely no results after 11 days. I’ve communicated with a coach several times. The common theme is, that I must not understand how it works. The average weight loss is 1/2 to 2 pounds a week. At that rate it would take me 18 months to reach the goal, not the 6 months that Noom projected. I agree with a previous reviewer who stated the program might work for someone that has more of an emotional attachment to food.

I wanted to lose some weight to feel healthier and better in my clothes. I didn’t want to “diet” or have to purchase meals. With Noom, there was so much helpful information about eating “normal” foods by making healthier choices. No guilt about what to eat - just informative guidance about foods. It is convenient to access and take in the information when it works best in my day. When I understand the “why” behind what I’m doing, it makes it easier for me to make healthier choices. There are also really helpful guides available to answer questions and give helpful coaching tips. The weight is not coming off rapidly but there is a definite downward trajectory, so it feels like real pounds are gone, not just water weight or weight that I can’t maintain. Best of all, the small changes I’m making over time are starting to feel good enough that I’m pretty confident I will maintain these changes long-term. Thanks, Noom developers and guides!!

I’ve really learned a lot about the mental aspect of eating. Spending time each day to better educate myself will help develop a lifetime of healthier food choices. The cost was realistic when it means no meetings or travel required. Would recommend.

My experience has been very positive and I have enjoyed the interactive nature of the app. I am learning every day. I like having a coach and also reading group comments. The app supports me throughout the day. I am loosing weight and seeing it visually on the weight chart is great.

Not thrilled with how it’s going. I don’t buy into weighing daily as it messes with my psyche since body fluctuates all the time and all I see is weight go up and down same 9-10 ounces. I feel I have so many calories to hit. I don’t always get in that good calorie zone. But I’m still trying since I still have membership for now. Hoping something changes and I start to see results.

I have lost weight with Noom. While this is the goal, my steps will not sync and my curriculum has reset to lesson 1 and I am still waiting for my guide to return my account to where I was. Frustrating.

I feel like they customized my training to me and my needs. The app is easy to use and once I got a coach they became very responsive. Positive rewards and outlooks, success stories are pertinent. Looking forward to healthier and active life!

I have been a Noom fan for about 3 years. I originally lost 30 pounds and then have been maintaining between 20 and 25 for the remainder of the time. I learn so much about myself through the daily exercises, which has meaning beyond dieting and losing weight. Not all personal coaches are as good as I had hoped. The first was pretty good. The second was not helpful at all. and now I have a great coach. I have always like the group coaches and the community.

I’ve been doing Noom for about 1 month now. I’ve lost only a few pounds so far but I find that I’m making more consistently healthy food choices over that period of time. I’ve also recognized my “storm eating” and been more empowered to control those cravings.

Overall my wt. loss is down. Progress is slow. Very slow. I like the fact there are no restrictions. The lessons really keep me engaged, continuing on. I’m learning a lot. I have questions and would like a one one coach.

I was doing well until a one week vacation. Now I’m back home and ready to get started again. I am having a hard time. I am lost but will find a way back. It would be really nice to have some feedback..

Noom is the first “diet plan” I’ve experienced whereby I’m not thinking of food all of the time. I’m learning things about myself and food as I do each lesson. I enjoy doing the lessons and one reason for this is it’s clear you all see people in a positive way. The message I hear is “You Will accomplish your goal!" I believe it too!

I love that I get to eat anything I want to eat. There are no restrictions. There are no limits. Noom is very much all about teaching about health and psychology in a very fun and laid-back way and leaving it up to me to decide what works for me. I didn’t want a crash diet. I wanted a lifestyle change. I want one that I will know how to “get off” the diet when this is over so I can actually keep the weight off. I am 2 months in and I’m down 11lbs. My ring fits again, and my pre-pregnancy jeans fit. 39lbs to go! I was told by a friend that I’m looking thinner already. I am never hungry. And I love that whenever I overindulge, I can say “Oh well” and keep trying. I love the forums, the coaches, the psych lessons, the chill attitude, the absolute flexibility, the base in science, and just everything about it. It is worth the money, absolutely.

This has truly made me feel better about myself and taught me to choose healthier food. I have lost 10 lbs in a matter of weeks. That is AMAZING!! Hoping to continue on this journey and get to my weight goal.

I wish the app would let you add more than one meal at a time, without having to go out and back all the time. Not efficient. Why do it have to say fine and close then open log food again just to get to the next meal. It should just list all main meals underneath for ease of logging.

I’m finally getting a handle on my overeating thanks to Noom. I want to succeed this time and Noom has several useful tools to help me along the way. My coach is available just the right amount of time and not constantly in my face. That’s my preference on how a good coach works.

This app provides good info on the ways we see food and diet but not much in the way of solutions. I wanted to lose weight and I’m not and I don’t think I’m learning things I didn’t already know. I’d like better tools and recipes and even meal plan options to go with the psychology.

I just feel that so far the program hasn’t worked for me. I am a person that needs an actual guideline structure just for me. To try to do this by myself is very difficult. So for the past week I really haven’t been doing much as far as logging my meals etc. but having said that today is a new day and I’m going to try and start all over. Fingers crossed.

I love this program. After being stuck on a plateau for about a year it’s been so nice finding something to help me get over that and help me even further with my healthy eating. I love how this is a restrictive diet plan but it actually teaches you how to change your habits without restricting what you eat which is what I’ve always done but it’s really nice to have the different foods categorized so you can see where they fit.

I have my ups and downs but Noom has really helped including the lessons and calorie counting. I just wish so many of my favorite foods weren’t red. Things like nuts that are good for me. I also like reading about the success of other boomers. I would recommend Noom to friends.

I have been using this app over a month and cannot seem to get the scale to budge. I follow all the guidelines and directions. I stay within my calorie budget and exercise daily. I would have lost 10 lbs on my own. I will lose more weight without Noom. Too much focus on the scale. I’m losing inches but Noom makes me feel like a failure with the extreme focus on the scale.

I was asked so many questions before I signed up. It was clear I was already eating well and exercising but I needed help with my emotional eating. I was promised I could lose weight with this and my friend did so I gave it a shot. This program is great for people who eat crappy food and don’t exercise because it teaches you how and why you should. But for the rest of us, it’s useless. I could have just downloaded my Fitness Pal and counted calories. I wanted to break my psychological eating habits. Now I don’t eat crap because I don’t want to log it. I still have all the cravings and it’s been almost 6 weeks. Also my coach is completely useless. I never hear back from her and her weekly check ins are just like an acquaintance saying hi. It’s lame and not coach-like.

The reading is very helpful. Great information in short bursts and written in an entertaining format. Food logging needs significant improvement. Example: After logging a meal we should not be taken to the home page. That’s too many steps. We need to be taken back to the food meal category page (breakfast, lunch, dinner) where we can select another meal category to continue logging food. This helps especially when we are logging our full day’s meal at one time and it provides quick access to the green, yellow, red food analysis page during one-stop logging. Also, the barcode option needs significant improvement. It doesn’t allow for food color classification. Lastly, foods in bank are limited. Too many foods have to be entered manually which also takes away provision of color classification information.

You asked me to rate my experience so here are a few thoughts. I have done many diets or eating changes over time so some of the Noom tips were not new but I have learned several new things. I have tracked every meal and every weight (except when on vacation without a scale). I have tracked exercise and underestimated calorie usage as to not overeat. The scale has moved down by only 2-3 pounds fluctuating over 2 months. I have expressed my concern that for me the minimum calories set for me is too high. My BMR calculated several times over the years is 1350-1400. Originally my Noom minimum was set higher so I lowered it to the minimum 1380. No change.

I really enjoy the content. Learning about the psychology of eating has been very helpful. I am developing good habits. I thought my coach would be more engaged. When I wrote directly to her about a plateau it took several days for her to respond. Her response was not very helpful.

I am very pleased with this app! Simple to use, it helps me to make the change gradually for steady new habits. The goal coach is very nice, helpful and still positive, even when I think I’m failing, she’s there to encourage me!

I really like Noom. The coaches are so helpful and seem to keep us abreast of new ideas, helpful hints and just plain wonderful. I have almost hit my goal but had some set backs but, due to the info I still remain.

Easy to log food but some foods need more options like cup, oz., pounds, not just grams or anything else. And one you scan a food into the register, how can you take it back off like mayo. I scan it a few times but now I don’t use it anymore, I use salsa on sandwiches and salads.

Noom has helped reveal thoughts and ideas I had that were preventing me from meeting my health goals. With psych tricks and simplified strategies for mindful eating, I’ve lost at least 2lbs a week since I started. I was able to use what Noom taught me on a recent vacation, and despite allowing myself a splurge each day, I gained back only 1 pound. I’ve jumped right back into my Noom routine and the scale is already moving back down. Before Noom, I would have beat myself up about the gain, but with Noom, I have the confidence to see that number and know without doubt that I will get it back down again.

I was introduced to Noom by some of my family friends. I was in an uncertain place when I started because I had just been told by my doctor that I was pre-diabetic. I knew I needed to take action somehow and make a change for the long run and Noom is doing exactly that for me. I’m very grateful for what this program has taught me so far and I’m looking forward to the future.

So I’ve been losing weight on Noom and enjoying the daily articles and stuff. But behind the scenes leaves a lot to be desired. Customer support doesn’t admit to a calorie allotment bug when there clearly is one. It tells small people they can eat over 2400 calories to be in weight loss zone. Plus, the costs that the program is for people is so arbitrary that it’s a joke. I’m quoted $148 for 9 months and my husband has to pay almost the same for only 6 months. No rhyme or reason. Plus they made him delete his account to try and get him a coupon instead of helping apply it to his existing account. So he lost all his data and progress. Just disappointing.

I’ve been really enjoying the Noom app! It’s been so helpful with sticking to my calorie budget and I love all the lessons. Lately I’ve been going through a bit of a slip but Noom has helped me not go too far off! I love it!

I have not felt this program to be helpful for me. I have not had any success following the recommendations and when reaching out for support, the response has sometimes taken a week. I missed the cancellation date so I am continuing to try it. I would have cancelled if I could. When posting to the group I can’t locate my post. I also can’t read comments from other posts to check for advise or guidance. I don’t think it provides what it says it will. One on one coach? I haven’t received any coaching despite asking for one.

I have reported this to my coach but it continues to occur. I am losing weight but days when there is no new lesson is very disappointing. Also, if I log my food as I eat each meal, when I come on to read the day’s course, all my logging is gone and I have to start all over with what I ate. I am losing weight because I didn’t accept that I would lose weight on the 1600+ calories the program assigned to me because I knew I would actually gain weight on that amount of calories. I am sticking to a healthy 1200 calorie diet and slowly losing pounds.

I have made good progress in my weight loss using Noom. The daily lessons keep me interested and the daily weighing keeps me motivated. When I have had problems with the app or my plan, customer service and the Noom guides have helped the same day. Highly recommend this program.

The support/group support has actually been a demotivator for me and likely why I have disengaged. I found it maddening that support always gives unhelpful canned answers. (This includes the 1:1 support). I hated it and it made me angry and frustrated. Noom shouldn’t advertise a feature they overpromise and underdeliver on.

So far my Noom mood experience has been great. My coach has been very supportive. The daily lessons are helpful and inspirational and I look forward to them each day. The activities are helpful for the most-part, and even though I don’t always complete the daily activity everyday I can always go back to my tool belt and use them whenever I need to!

I find the program hard to navigate at first. The coaching is good but I find that they have a generic answer for your questions. It seems to always be, "Let's look at this next week or ask your group." It would be great to have more extensive list of the categories with actually brand names so when grocery shopping you don't have to scan everything wondering what category it may fall into.

I am in my 50s, married for 20 years with 3 children. My eating habits have changed through the years and my weight has increased; although, my physical activity has always remained high. I really needed help changing my eating habits back to what they had been in my 20s. I’ve found Noom to be very educational on why People slip into these bad habits and helpful at giving lots of advice on forming good habits. I’ve lost over 10 lbs in less than a month, and I am looking forward to losing the rest, but mostly I am happy to be mindful of my eating habits again and feeling healthy.

I’ve lost and gained the same 15 pounds 6 times in the last 12 years. Since I joined Noom 6 weeks ago I’ve started to really internalize the “psych tricks” and apply the super well-done lessons in real life. I’m learning from my daily weigh-ins and food logging without beating myself up when I “slip up”. And I’m almost halfway to my weight loss goal.

Noom is going okay… it’s much more independent than I realized it would be. I requested a coach and she writes maybe once a week but asks a question and when I respond I have to wait a week for another response. I think I expected more accountability and direction.

Although I like the Noom program, I don’t have an assigned group to share my experiences. The app keeps stating that they will assign me, that was over a month ago. Does my Noom subscription come with an assigned group?

The approach works for me - daily online ‘lessons’ to help keep you motivated, a great food tracker, online coaching and support group. It’s an effective and sustainable program, I trust the psychology and approach to food, nutrition and calories to support healthy weight loss.

I’ve been doing Noom for about 8 weeks, and it has been great so far. It’s easy to log my meals, and I enjoy all the reminders and funny prompts. I’m also enjoying the coursework. I’ve lost about nine pounds, and I feel better too.

I am loving the healthy changes I am making with Noom. The articles are extremely helpful and I appreciate my one on one coach. I am making life long changes…I’m not “on a diet”. I’m down about 12 pounds in 5 weeks, and I feel better!

I really don’t feel anyone cares. You don’t have any encouragement. I’m so behind. All I get asked is what do you think if I knew I wouldn’t ask…still not impressed. If I could go forward more days than one would be nice also.

I think my experience is way better the second time around. I like the reminders and the coach. I wish the food tracking were a bit easier. If I could scan in barcodes or customize the portions more, also you have recipes but not sure how to put those foods into the tracker.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for weight loss and maintenance - it really works. I’m a psychologist by training and love how this course is organized. I appreciate the evidence-based approach without being stiff or too clinical. I am down 12 pounds in my first month and can tell this is a sustainable approach that will continue to work as long as I follow the principles I’m learning. I’d recommend this program to anyone.

I find the app easy to use and it’s a convenient way to track meals, exercise and water. Having the app available makes me be accountable to myself. I am enjoying the lessons. I feel that for me it’s worth the money I paid. Highly recommend.

I have been on the NOOM program for 5 weeks. During this time I have learned about food, types of eating, strategies to assist in food choices and having a coach to assist in the program. I have lost 18 lbs in my journey to a healthier me.

Noom is really working out well for me. I have lost 12 pounds in 5 weeks. The concept of caloric density has been one of the most helpful for me in understanding effect of food on my body, and Noom’s color-coding of foods simplifies that (although the database has some inaccuracies which I can forgive given the multitudes of food out there). Logging my food, while a bit of a nuisance, is helpful with portion control which was one of my issues. I read my Noom content in the morning after weighing myself, and that gets at the psychology as well as physiology behind eating. I found the information about hormones interesting. The quizzes are fun! Easy and they check understanding. On the whole, a positive experience so far. Noom has made me more mindful about my eating.

Noom makes so much sense, it’s the first “diet” that’s not a diet at all but a slight modification of your lifestyle that is doable over the long haul. With Norm’s advice about the psychology of eating and information about caloric density of various foods, it’s easy to make wiser choices -from now on- because you’ve learned it! The key is that no food is off-limits or “bad”, just more or less calorie dense so once you gain knowledge about the foods you like and commonly eat you can make small shifts in the quantities. In reality, it’s doesn’t take much. A small change over a long period has huge results. This is a long game plan, something that can be maintained for life, not a do-it-quick deal. I never go hungry, I never feel deprived. Yet it’s working. The education makes all the difference.

I know for me that my issues with weight are completely dependent on the way I relate to and feel about food. I KNOW what the right choices are, but for various reasons, I often make poor choices. I know I need help to reframe how to think about what eating means for me. It’s not a knowledge problem, for me it’s an issue of cognitive dissonance. Noom is helping me retrain my brain to so I stop the self-sabotage and choose health for myself. Thank you NOOM! You’re exactly what I’ve been needing!

I am so grateful for Noom. Initially, in the first 3 weeks I wasn’t losing weight and I was frustrated. I wanted to be told what to do and what not to do. I wanted more specific guidance for me - like, hey I see that you logged this in food for the past couple days, you may want to try less of this and more of this. I finally realized I had the power to choose and then I started seeing progress on the scale. I am so grateful for Noom!

Positives - daily psychology is amazing. Things that could be better, being able to turn off your exercise calories, knowing the breakdown of protein/fat etc. in food you are consuming, having a personal coach that really invests time in helping you. Groups are very US, talk about US holidays etc. Not very global.

Honestly, I like the articles (though I’m glad they’ve stopped with the success stories. I’d say make those optional). It’s interesting to learn (even though they are sometimes contradictory. I think you guys do a good job of being multi cultural. I do kinda feel like it started at a beginner level when I’m not really a beginner. But maybe an anomaly? I was already doing meal prep (though now I think more about what I prep) and needed the impetus for the exercise. I think the Noom coaches are sick of me asking specific questions they can’t answer because most of the responses I get back are vague non answers. Overall I think this has been useful in terms of forcing me to do the things I know I have to do to lose weight by holding me accountable.

I couldn’t be more pleased! Thought I knew all there was to know about the science and psychology of overeating, but Noom - in bid sized daily reading - teaches me things I didn’t know and reinforces I knew but forget or ignore. My first individual coach was a dud, but I requested a change (no explanation required) and her replacement is terrific. Group coach and group’s postings consistently interesting/provocative. Logging meals, water, exercise, and weight is a cinch.

My calorie target was set extremely too high. I told my coach and she assured me that it was fine on 2 occasions. I reached out to support and only got copy and pasted unhelpful responses. Finally my coach got a clue and tells me there’s a glitch. By now I’m discouraged, unmotivated and disappointed. I’ve been stuck at the damn weight because of this glitch, that still isn’t fixed.

I really thought the coach would be more involved and helping. I hardly ever hear from my coach. I just keep reading the article daily when I can and just keep on trucking. Weight loss has always been a struggle but I heard such good things about Noom so I thought I would give this a try.

NOOM has been a great experience so far. The weight is coming off at a reasonable rate and I am amazed at how good I feel. No more stomach issues, twice as much energy, sleeping better, and decreased cravings. I love the psychology behind this program.

So far in 8.5 weeks, I have only lost 3#. I am following everything, logging foods, drinking 120 Oz of water a day, walk 1-2 miles a day, as well as listening to my coach. I am learning great new eating habits, but just cannot lose pounds or inches.

I don’t think Noom is working for me. I follow my calorie intake, meet my step goal almost everyday and I am not losing any weight. I find it hard to believe that I have plateaued from the start. I don’t know what to do.

I’m pleased that I am losing weight but I do not have a lot of internet experience so I haven’t been able to contact anyone to ask questions. I have diabetes and have needed some advice and I have Covid for three weeks and just got another positive test report. I’ve been in bed or sitting most of the time.

I have been using Noom for 5 weeks. Each day I learn new things about myself. My weight loss has been coming off at the right speed to be successful. Their personal attention could be better. Just be prepared to be your own supporter.

I love this Noom for the the lessons, explaining situations, tricks and tips & for the psychological love! I’m still struggling but at least bits and pieces of me are more aware due to the learnings. My coach is a wonderful asset to my success.

The content is great but I really joined for the accountability of a coach. I should’ve known the price is too good to be true, but it’s near impossible to have a live conversation with my coach - every response is delayed (sometimes by multiple days). It’s pretty unmotivating.

I love Noom and the psychological lessons you receive about eating, food and a healthy lifestyle. The food tracker is easy and group chats help you feel like you’re not alone in this journey. However, it’s too fast. The lessons are one day after another and it’s been less than 24 hours to put into practice what you learned from the day before. I feel overwhelmed and need at least a few days to practice what I learned. It gets to the point where too much information and I am just going through the motions to get through the lessons and eventually I feel like quitting. There should be an option to slow things down. One lesson per week. Really have the opportunity to practice the lesson and develop healthy habits. Also there should be an option to log your steps manually. I walk a lot at work and can’t have my cellphone with me to count my steps.

Not doing well. I’m not losing weight although I’m trying hard. Walking a lot. Cut down on food but not seeing anything on the scale. What is wrong with me. I’m so frustrated and unhappy. I thought this would make a difference.

I really didn’t think it was possible for me to lose weight because of my age and because my joints interfered and kept me from strenuous exercise. I’ve dieted my whole life: Keto, Mediterranean, shots, Weight Watchers, Overeaters Anonymous….I could lose weight for awhile but always gained it back. And always felt deprived. NOOM is the most effective diet I’ve ever tried. It’s not really a diet at all but an ongoing way of life. I’ve lost weight, I’m comfortable and not feeling deprived at all. NOOM offers daily support and a group of people with whom to interact if you choose. It’s also let me lose weight that I never thought I could at my age.

I have never tried or wanted to try a diet. I was not and am not willing to give up my sweets (esp ice cream), carbs (love bread, pasta & pizza) or anything else I feel like eating. I have developed new useful habits and have a new relationship with food. I followed the the guidelines and have lost 15 lbs since Mother’s Day 2022. I will use these tools for the rest of my life.

It feels good to be back in the Noom routine for a second summer to guide me with a refresher course while I lose 15 more pounds. Last summer I lost 30+ and maintained through the academic year. This time it’s a slower process but Noom is reminding me how and why plus all the helpful tips to successfully navigate.

I’m learning about myself. Not always in a good way, but it’s honest. I miss my young body that processed food (and emotions) at lightning speed. I’m over 50 now and I have a different body that’s not in sync with how I feel most days. I started to eat to feel better. It’s become stressful, which makes me want to soothe myself with food. You understand my problem. Just reading a few min a day gives me “food for thought”. It’s helpful to read something that I identify with and then be given a path to take to help correct the behavior. I’m thinking before I eat more and more. This whole comfort food, clean plate club, don’t be wasteful and forced to skip meals upbringing I had is a lot to unravel but I feel like it’s becoming clearer. Plus, the writing in Noom has some humor. I appreciate that.

I was very clear with my goals - I wanted to lose weight. Noom put me on maintenance mode and for weeks I was maintaining and not losing. I am so upset!!! I lost time. And I do not like my coach. He is very civil but takes forever to get back to me and just says it’s not his fault it was on maintenance - I want a new coach, please.

My coach is great. She has some helpful hints and continues to cheer me on. I haven’t lost most yet, but I am working on it! I love the humor in the readings and the psych tricks are helpful. I am just beginning my journey with Noom.

So for it has been an eye opener. When you hear the word diet, there is a negative connotation. Not with Noom. I can eat whatever I want. Noom teaches me to have an entirely different attitude about food. The daily lessons and mixing in the quizzes, only reinforces what you learn. The Noom program has taught me about the highs and lows of weight loss. So far, so good.

I’m disappointed in my progress! Initially I lost weight (water?). I’m facing health issues according to my Drs if I don’t lose weight! So I am trying! I was using Keto diet and had issues with it and medication! Having had cancer last year has changed a lot of things, I used to like broccoli for example, but since Radiation therapy, I find it repulsive! I feel I need a stronger guideline as to calories and meal planning. My life is depending on it!

I have struggled for years. Dieting every diet there is. Noom helped me work on my relationship with food and change my life. No more dieting. Just living my best life in a healthy well balanced lifestyle. I still have weight to lose but it doesn’t seem like such a struggle now!! I’m not struggling my mental war anymore with food thanks to Noom!!!!

Honestly, after being on and off of every diet trend and new miracle pills (or new drink cleanse) I became discouraged with my weight gain. I realize getting older comes with unfortunate side effects, but feeling ugly should not be one of them. I loathe feeling uncomfortable in my skin. My 2 friends and I were all in the same discouraged place. “Let’s just try Noom together!”

I highly recommend Noom - smart, gentle, un-intrusive, perfect for me. I was hoping this would work but didn’t have high expectations. I have tried OA, FA, Weight Watchers, all the groups. I just thought “what the heck, I’m not losing my Covid lbs any other way” and signed up. So simple! All of my previous efforts paid off. Noom leveraged increased awareness, useful habits, self knowledge. Very happy with Noom!

Initially I never had any contact from my coach and I cancelled but came back because I really need to lose. I have a great coach, Brian. I hit the menopausal plateau, finally having a few pounds off and I am eating better. More importantly I am feeling better.

I am having trouble staying within the green and yellow foods. I find that the point system was easier for me. Weight lose has been up and down. Don’t like the idea of weighing every day. I get discourage when I lose one day the next gain it back. I do a lot of social and family activities that doesn’t help with my new program. Hard to eat healthy at these functions.

Have been at it for about a month and have lost 3-4 pounds. Really enjoying the lessons, and the tone of the lessons, too. Encouraging with good humor. I sometimes message the guides and get reassuring input. Things are going well so far.

My calorie budget is broken. It says I should be eating over 3200 calories a day. I’ve worked with tech support and they’ve verified it is a bug. I just feel like I can’t properly hit my goals if the budget is completely wrong. That’s what I’m paying Noom for, so I don’t feel I’m getting my money’s worth.

I have been using Noom for about 2 months now and have been very pleased with my Coach and Team. I was a little skeptical at first, coming from another program and trying to lose weight on my own. I love the lessons! They are very informative and really make a lot of sense. Very pleased overall

I enjoy some of the Noom material but find that the program doesn’t foster healthy eating and can cause a lot of stress and anxiety about food choices. Nutrients aren’t tracked and there is no instruction about meeting your requirements with a restricted calorie intake. Like a lot of others the experience started fine and got progressively more stressful until it was upsetting.

Was suppose to receive a scale. Have not received it yet. Just now connecting with my coach. Have no idea if I’m supposed to be paying for Noom or if my insurance covers it. Have received no correspondence or bill. Red, green, yellow foods is a bit of a learning curve. Exercising seems to add more possibility of calories each day, but what’s the formula?

The program gives information, training, and guidance to adopt a healthy diet and a psychologically sound approach to eating. It focuses on changing habits and incrementally making long term changes. There are group chat rooms for peer support and private coaching for tailored advice. I aim to continue my subscription at least 3 months until I’ve met my desired outcomes, because I also want to have the experience of using Noom to maintain good habits past the goal that is currently my main source of motivation. I have already been recommending the program to friends and family.

Noom is an incredible app that simplifies psychology and dieting in a non-threatening way. I’d recommend it to those who have lost faith in the oversaturation of diet products in the marketplace. It’s substantially cheaper and more effective. Most people that have used the app sing its praises for ease of implementation.

I enjoy using Noom because it provides evidence-based information around why I choose certain foods and how to build healthy eating habits. I’ve tried other apps but I’m really enjoying it. Even if I hadn’t lost a pound (I’ve lost 6 already) I’ve learned a lot and that’s really important to me.

I can’t stop talking about Noom and telling everyone I know. I am learning. I feel so much better. And I’m seeing results for the first time in my life. I wondered why I was feeling sluggish, uncomfortable and mushy. After logging my portions - and mostly yellow and red foods - it made so much more sense. I’ve always struggled with nutritional balance, moderation and fun foods, and portion control, I actually feel like I am LEARNING and building habits. I’ve never felt so hopeful not just to lose weight - but to keep it off. The grace and realism of the attitude of Noom is the best part. It gives me room to be a human and still succeed.

I had 12 pounds to lose, so I wanted to get a head start before it became any more. Tried another program that used points system for last several years. Wanted to try another way this time. Use of app is simple, once you get over the initial hurdle of figuring it out. Coaches are there to assist with any question along the way. Currently, I hit a plateau (lost 7.5 lbs!), but I understand this is normal. Daily lessons are super helpful and insightful and encouraging!

The Noom experience is much needed. I hope you have a lot more resources than the course. Pretty much all my problems are tied to poor coping skills. Noom is a big help, and the coach is invaluable. Though it’s all via text, for the price of the resource as a whole it’s well worthwhile and great source of support.

I’m truly enjoying my time with NOOM. I really needed to get to a better place where I could see my results. This is so much better than my other attempts. I feel better and I sleep better. Staying on this program is easy and I have not yet been tempted to stray off of it.

I have loved every minute of this Noom experience. I had gained so much weight during Covid. I have now lost 13 pounds in one month, and I must say it was effortless. I really love the lessons — they get to the heart of everything. I am 1 pound away from my goal weight, but I am going to reconsider. I was so afraid that I wouldn’t reach my original goal weight that I was very conservative. But now I see I can do it. And I love Deonte. He is a great coach. And for the first time I’m drinking tons of water.

Noom has provided a steady amount of research based information to help me process how I interact with food on a variety of levels. It’s been good review as well as challenging to be fully exposed to assess myself. So far, I feel like this investment has been worth it.

I have lost about 13 pounds in less than two months using Noom. It’s empowered me to log my meals easily (haven’t missed a single meal or snack), understand portions, and have a healthy relationship with ALL food through a clear understanding of caloric density. I also haven’t missed a single day of logging my weight. The articles are incredibly insightful and well curated. My personal coach is helpful, kind, supportive, and informed. This is at long last the tool I’ve been looking for.

Other weight loss programs focus on diet. They map out what you can and cannot eat or have you buy their meals. Noom is very different. Noom gives you guidelines for eating well - for life. Nothing is off limits. Noom also puts emphasis on physical activity, proper hydration, and sleep. Noom asks you to really examine your lifestyle and delve into why you make the choices you do. In the past six weeks I’ve learned so much about myself. And, I’m learning how to change the way I think about a lot of things, including my relationship with food. I think Noom will be pivotal in helping me make lifelong lifestyle changes.

Using the app is a good thing but there should be a automatic food log remembrance so when I type of a type of dinner. Also logging your iWatch steps and exercise activities should feed to the app but it’s not flawless.

Overall I have enjoyed. The monthly cost seems extremely high and hard to reach anyone for help. My emails never answered including about cost options. I hope that someone can touch base to help with this issue. Thank you.

I’ve been “Nooming” for 5 weeks now and at 4 weeks I had lost 8 pounds. Logging my food, being aware of serving sizes has made all the difference! I’m enjoying the daily articles as well and learning so much about food, habits, psych tricks etc. I feel so much better and have much more energy.

My first month with Zoom has been very successful. I’ve lost ten pounds. Far more importantly I feel like I have the tools to keep it off. My goal is to lead a healthy productive life into my 80’s. Thus far, I feel like Zoom is empowering me to meet that goal. I am developing a much more enjoyable relationship with food, rather than love/hate gluttony/guilt I am enjoying my meals, even the prep, trying new foods, and creating new dishes.

I opted for a free trial and became a member. My weight loss is very slow but pretty steady. I enjoy the lessons each day as well as the convenience of logging into the app. I was on the fence, doubtful that it would help me but I was mistaken. Try it. You just might be like me and join!

I love how Noom helps me to feel less pressured about weight loss even while I’m losing weight. I’m learning how to overcome negative thinking that has undermined me before! I also really like the science and understanding what happens in my body as I lose weight. 11 lbs down and 39 to go!!!

The first time I tried Noom I was like a robot and did what I should do but didn’t really take in the lessons. I had lost nearly 30 pounds and then I just gave up. I got stuck and decided I didn’t need their help anymore. COVID hit and I spun out of control with my eating, quit working out and ignored all the information I was given. Fast forward 3 years, now I gained the weight back and have diabetes. I came back to NOOM because I knew that I had to change and I knew I didn’t learn the way I should have. I did what needed to be done to lose the weight the first time but I didn’t intrinsically change.

I honestly don’t know why it took me so long to sign up. I’ve literally tried everything to get my Covid 20 off. Supplements. Low to no carb, extreme exercising. calorie restriction… with Noom I’ve learned to just eat better and try to understand certain patterns of behavior I have around eating. The counselors and groups have been great for accountability and while the losing process is slower… it’s totally because of sustainability. I’ve been able to have alcohol, tacos and ice cream on Noom. It’s not a diet… it’s just a way of living! 6.5 pounds down in a month and I feel amazing. Goal for the full 20 by October but because of the speed I set. It’s all about what you can do. Love it.

Noom has been “that ONE thing I HAVEN’T tried” when it comes to losing weight! And trust me, I carried the belief that I had tried it all! I’ve quickly realized that I was missing the psychological part to healing this mind, body and soul! I’m succeeding daily with Noom, I’m learning a new lifestyle! I’m also learning to view food as fuel for this body of mine. I’m eating MORE food than I was before starting this unbelievably supported journey in finding the old lost me. I cannot see how anyone doing this program wouldn’t be able to lose weight.

I like the way this works.. It teaches you the difference in foods (what’s high calorie vs low calorie). If you go over your calorie count as it tracks this for you no big deal. Try again tomorrow… The coaches encourage you and help you understand the difference in foods. Also you track your food intake which is great because you know what you ate and if you should eat these foods more frequently or less frequently. Teaches you how to eat healthier. And explains psychological reasons why you eat the way you do and how to try to eat better.

I have done Noom three times now. I really like the newer content. The focus on “no food is bad food” is really helping me. It’s taking me time to find what works for me but I feel like I don’t have to rush. Slow change seems like good change. My coach is rarely around and we have never been able to accomplish anything. I’d like to switch coaches. Groups are ok but I want a high five buddy for support and check ins. The group questions and answers aren’t really helping me. The group still just feels like strangers. Having Noom to have daily reads, daily weigh ins and daily glucose checks has been a good way for me to stop ignoring my relationship to food health and my weight.

For the price I guess I expected more. Kind of feels like a glorified calorie counter. Also disappointed that there isn’t a way to modify for breastfeeding women. The “lessons” are nothing groundbreaking and feel like common sense. I don’t see myself using this beyond 3 months, or recommending any friends. Way overpriced.

Love this program. All reward and no criticism, just kind reminders with scientific facts to help you stay the course. You can do this and be happy with the results. They give you a date when all your efforts will show the world your results. This is what most folks need to stay motivated. Difficult periods are addressed and effective changes are suggested and reinforced to help you continue with your health goals. So glad I found NOOM and you will be too.

So far it’s ok. I need the meal plans because I don’t plan ahead and I’m sure there are foods I don’t think of for more variety. My favorite foods are all red explaining why I’m overweight. Sometimes the messages are annoying and writing reviews are as well.

I finally feel I’m using a weight loss program that’s helping me make long term changes for my health and teaching me how to be healthier overall. I love how I’m feeling and the change I’m seeing in my relationship with food.

Noom is a great program. I like the daily information, the goal setting, the meal tracking and the optional group support. I also appreciate the option to have some lessons read to you. I find that very helpful. So far so good!

My biggest eye opener was, foods that I thought were healthy ie Special K cereal, drinkable yogurt, etc, we’re in the red group. Noom gave me insight on the psychology of how the mind works in relation to triggers, thought patterns, and beliefs.

I began Noom to understand my body more, to face why I escape into food, why I overeat for reasons other than hunger, and how to recognize and understand these unhealthy habits. I am very happy with the program and grateful for guidance along my (our) journey.

I’ve learned so much about weight loss and I’ve already met my first goal!! I still have almost a whole person to lose but for the first time in a long time I feel like it’s possible!! Even being without electricity for almost a week I was able to maintain my weight loss! I felt lost without my daily check ins and reading!

First time that I am seriously trying to shed pounds. I have come down about 8 pounds over this last month. I am eating healthier and getting more exercise. I feel much healthier overall. The app is informing and encouraging.

Just like the title said I’m finding the app and process relatively easy, but I’m still not “feeling it”. The weight is being extremely slow to come off. I’ll persist and try to keep on track. I know that’s the main thing: patience and keep learning.

Noom differentiates itself from its competitors by its focus on helping you change your relationship with food. Not only am I losing weight but the education, psychology and self awareness that have come through this experience have truly been helpful in establishing a new way of life for me. Thank you!

The app is a little clunky and could be improved:

I’ve been on this for over 8 weeks, and weight loss has been poor. The psychology behind the program is valid, it just isn’t working for me. I had hoped having 1:1 coaching would benefit my weight loss, but the lack of real communication and understanding from the coach was nonexistent. I’m not at all satisfied with my experience.

I am doing this now for 2 months and I am not so satisfied: I read in German, fill out/in in English and my native language is Dutch. The products which are not yet known by Noom, I fill in (that takes a lot of extra effort! because of the amount of products Noom does not know about) and I don’t think it is helpful. I read every time that I will be connected with ‘my group ‘… but there is no group. I don’t like to read so much every day, although it really is interesting. And about my coach… sorry. Overall I am disappointed.

Very pleasant and the daily reading keeps me focused on checking in every day. I am enjoying the weight loss journey. The approach Noom uses is nice as it gives me someone to lean on. It also helps we keep constant with meals and workouts.

I love the simplicity and the support that is available! The app is easy to use and the lessons & resources are worth every penny! I’ve learned so much over the past two months and am making healthier habits while eating real food!

I really like Noom’s technique of using the mental and the way food is separated in 3 categories. The fact that the psychologists tell us that it ok to treat ourselves…. like that! Also, I enjoy your recipes section as well! I lost 13 lbs so far…. and I’m always satiated! I just can’t believe it!

I love the psychology…(I’m a therapist!). It is so well done and working on me. Counting calories is good for me, but most of all I can see my way to lasting change. The support is very good and the group feedback helps me feel a sense of community.
