Has anyone tried Noom for weight loss? If so what was your experience?

I bought it but cancelled right away. Too much reading.

So far I like it. It's based on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (which ordinarily I cannot stand) but it works well for weight loss. They send you a few articles a day to read (takes less than 15 minutes) and sometimes a quiz. The main thing is that you have to log your food intake. It gets categorized into green, yellow, or red. No food is off limits, which I like. The more green food that you eat the better but it all counts towards your daily calorie limit. Initially my limit was set at 1200 to 1430 I was like, I'm starving. This is not working for me. Luckily you get a goals coach and I explained to her that it wasn't working for me to have such a little intake of food and that I am on antipsychotic medication which interferes with the sensation of feeling full anyway. So we revised my goal to 1500-1600 calories a day, which is totally doable. I just haven't found a lot of foods that I can easily take to lunch that fit these categories. So I have been bringing a tuna sandwich and an orange every day. This is my 6th day on the program and so far I have lost

I think I forgot to say but on Noom you weigh yourself every day and log it.

I see pros and cons. I do not want to weigh myself everyday. The price you quoted for the year seems reasonable to me. I did sign up at one point but struggled with motivation. Maybe will try again. My friend didn't like the red, green and yellow categories for foods. She said it put healthy high calorie foods in one category and her mind went to "bad."

I started noom a month ago. My weight hasn’t changed much. It was about $170 for a 6 month subscription. I’ve learned stuff but CBT is really hard for me. I have a lot of the articles bookmarked. I just feel like my brain can’t comprehend 6 articles a day. The weighing myself everyday is annoying because sometimes I can’t sleep past 5:30 and you have to weigh yourself everyday as others have stated. And there’s a difference in the scale when you weigh yourself at 5:30 vs 8AM. But I like the one on one support and the groups are nice too. I just wish I was better at it.
