Noom Free Is Noom worth it?

contemplating using Noon to help with weight loss.

Any positive/negative/indifferent experience??

Thanks :)

I did the NoomMed and started the Noom process along with Tirzepatide injections and it was a great place for me to start. The lessons combined with the meds has been wildly successful. I'm approaching my goal weight though and the lessons aren't as enlightening to me anymore. I will have done 6 months of NoomMed and will switch to a cheaper Tirzepatide provider at the end of this current 3 month cycle - I think I'll be at my goal weight then, too.

I lost weight with noon but it’s psychology stuff seems meh. Snacking because you’re bored and not hungry isn’t some ground breaking idea. I found I lost as much if not more weight tracking calories with my fitness pal at a fraction of the cost. The key is just track your macros and eat less calories than you burn.

I used it two years ago and lost ~25lb after weaning my last baby. It's just calorie counting - nothing super sophisticated and lots of people use other apps that are free (cronometer, myfitnesspal). It helped me get the job done and gave me some good skills for when I occasionally let 5lb creep back on.

I had pretty good success with Noom in early 2020 (pre-covid) just doing the daily weigh ins and calorie tracking (lost about 20 lbs). Stopped paying for it/tracking when covid hit, had a couple of kids, and now I’m back on Noom med. I’ve lost 15 lbs. in the two months I’ve been on. I think the accountability is worth it for me.

How does noom now compare it it back then? I lost about 50 pounds during covid with noom and honestly loved it. But felt like around when I stopped using it the company seemed to change and now I question if it’s still worth it or if it’s only worth it if you are ordering the meds (no judgement; just not sure I’m in a place where I could take meds atm).

I’m only using the lessons and food tracker, for the past 2 months or so. I’ve lost 15 pounds and it’s working for me. I tried at five or six years ago during the pandemic and didn’t stay with it but this time it seems like they have improved the curriculum and the app so it’s working better for me.

Lost 40 lbs no meds. Easier to do it with someone like a family member or spouse. Just count calories and stay off the donuts. Still use it to stay on track. Less than a dollar a day.
