Feeling hopeful and happy - like I know what works
Noom is more helpful than I thought it would be, especially in terms of accountability, ease of platform, education, and nutrition tracking. I can understand what got me here in the first place now, and I know what to do to keep losing and gain more muscle mass. For example, I can't eat fast food or cereal regularly even if it's not adding up to a lot of calories in a day because of portion control. I'm 51 years old and my body has changed and needs me to feed it healthy foods on a regular basis, and cut out the inflammatory stuff. Losing weight felt very slow and almost disheartening at first, but the women on Noom that are also in the same boat or past wherever I was were very encouraging and informative. This encouragement helped me, and it also helps me to encourage others. Now that I feel better and more in control of what I eat (recognizing the inflammatory and high fat/sugar foods I was eating), I realize I need to add some resistance training (I walk every day) if I'm going to get to my goal weight. That being said, I feel so much better that I think I'm going to adjust my goal weight and keep focusing on nutrition and now adding, resistance/some light weights. I will say that it's been imperative to drop the inflammatory foods and only consume the minimum amount of calories suggested by Noom to lose. I am almost through perimenopause and I also think HRT is helping me lose and feel better all around.

Logging food doesn’t work
This app is slow to load. The parts I use most are at the bottom of a long scroll. I have to log my meals 3-4 times (each item) to get them to stick. I don’t know if I’m just not seeing a “save” button or if I have to share to save, but meals, goals, nothing is saving.
I don’t know if the program works, but the app most certainly does not.

Food swaps don’t work
It’s weird that I have not seen many others say this is an issue for them but while the app is fine and the program is what it is—either you like it or you don’t—when I tap on the food swaps in the food lookup tool, nothing happens. I told them and they said they were looking into a fix, but still no joy. It can’t just be me, can it?
Edit: now after an update, the food swap icon is completely gone.
